Marie Callender’s is known for American comfort food, and best known for their delicious pies, whether it is their chicken pot pie or their flaky fruit pies. Over the years, I stopped going here because the portions were too big, and well, the prices were also just too high, especially for a coffee shop/ casual dining place.
The restaurant chain must have realized the decline in sales, and recently they changed their menu and added a “Crave and Save” value menu with smaller portions, and prices ranging from $6-$9. In addition, they added a smaller priced version of their popular Chicken Pot Pie and called it a Trio Combo for $9.99, which is a small Caesar salad, a petite version of the Pot Pie, and a slice of pie for dessert (fresh fruit excluded).

Karen and I needed to stop at Walmart, and came here for dinner, and also to watch game 4 of the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. Origially I was going to get the Pot Pie, but after perusing through the new “Crave” menu, I opted for the Open faced hot turkey sandwich for $9, while Karen went for the Chicken pot pie combo.

Overall, a pleasant experience. The prices are much more affordable, and the portions are what we “should” be eating. I hope that Marie Callender’s keep this menu option.
