Bad meal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I just purchased today February 28th at about 3:30 today I bought a Marie Callender's slow roasted beef which is supposed to have tender beef with creamy mashed potatoes and vegetables and savory gravy the mashed potatoes are runny like soup. I couldn't eat it. I did not take a picture because the option was not there at the beginning of 1st email.

Worse pie ever

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Last 2 pies were terrible. Never had this before Christmas. Completely embarrassed at a church lunch. The crust was dry, fell apart and nothing but crumbles. Will not take a chance again. Both were lemon meringue. Dont know how to send photo to you for example. The filling wasn't that tasty either. Very disappointed, your products are usually good.

Very little filing in pie

Marie Callenders Meals - Very little filing in pie
I bought a Cherry Crunch Pie and it had one very thin layer of cherries. There was about 1 inch of crust showing. It had more Crunch topping than cherries. Very disappointing.do not buy.

Nothing requested.

Original review Sep 24, 2023
I've been eating Marie Callender meals for years. They arr perfect for a quick, balanced lunch at work. I recently tried the Chicken and Dumplings for the first time. You should rename it Chicken Chunks and Veggies. Please go back to the drawing board for this one. Real. Southern C&D are just that. Chicken and Dumplings only! Send someone to Cracker Barrel to see how it's properly put together and cooked.

Very poor quality

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I stay away from MC's frozen meals ever since Con-Agra took over. I used to buy them all the time, but now they simply don't care. No quality at all. Once in a while I will try one of their frozen dinners to see if things have improved, but no they haven't. I just tried their side dish called Sweet Corn Casserole, thinking it wound be similar to Stouffers. It was absolutely HORRIBLE! It was a gritty mess. It was like eating a sweet mushy gritty watered down corn muffin. I spent over $5.00 for this terrible excuse for food.

Pie disaster

Marie Callenders Meals - Pie disaster
Thanksgiving pumpkin pie was opened and the filling was shifted to one side of the crust. I called customer service and they were sorry and had no fix for the issue. Told me they didnt recommend thawing the pie and wished me a happy Thanksgiving. Im so disappointed didnt even offer me a coupon.

Worst ever

Go for Stouffer's, even Lean Cuisine. Marie Calendars is the worst, yet charging more! Food is the worst in the frozen shelves. Try to find a number or even a Web site to give recommendations or complaints, good luck. Never gonna buy their products again.

Terrible tasting food...............

I purchased a MC Honey Roasted Turkey Breast meal and it was absolutely terrible. The mashed potatoes never did firm up and the meal tasted terrible with this runny *** of a mess. You should serve your Board of Directors this meal at their next meeting, and I think they would remove it from your inventory!!! With price of food in today's market, you should be ashamed for selling such crap!!

I've never had a bad Marie Callender's meal until today. The fettuccini with broccoli meal when cooked had watery curds instead of a creamy sauce. It smelled sour and appeared to be inedible.

RETURN THEFOOD.

Somebody help me understand what happened to this brand. The quality has been getting worse and worse.

Unbelievably bad. The pot pie crusts are little more than dough. There was a time when the crusts puffed up nicely. The Shepards Pie was mostly like soup.

I know the dinners are bad. Please change the recipes back.

The large size chicken pot pies literally have NO gravy inside. Tasty but way too dry to enjoy. I hope you can improve this product

I prepared a chicken and dumpling bowl and just ate it. It was good but there was maybe 1 dumpling in the whole meal. I am very disappointed.
