Chicken pot pie
You put this in the microwave, and it all leaks to the box, then all over your microwave. You have to wash down every time.

Verified ReviewerThe worst meal
- - Marie Callender's lasagna bowl was watery with no sauce, cheese, or taste.
- - It wasn't cheap; I want a refund and won't purchase again.
Don't buy it they don't care and never even responded. The quality of the food has dramatically decreased and the price is increased along with quantity has decreased.
I have long been a fan of Marie Callender's. No more.
I just attempted to eat a lasagna bowl that was horrible. Watery, no sauce, no cheese, no taste. It wasn't cheap either. I am definitely asking for a refund.
I don't complain or leave bad reviews, but... the quality, the taste, the portion all fail and have drastically gone downhill. If you have to cut portions, that's fine; everything is expensive and costs more for less, but... the quality is a minus 0.
I will not purchase again. I am an avid cook, and if I served this to anyone, shame on me.
- 0 pros
- Quality way down price way up
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not buy this if you were a fan of Marie Callendars Spaghetti or Lasagna in the past.

Cherry Pie has stems inside
- - Quality control issue: cherry stems in the pie; photos requested.
- - No compensation offered to a customer of over 45 years; will not buy again.
Quality control issues sent photos of cherry stems inside of pie and all they did was waste time emailing back and forth asking for photos to only reply they take quality of their products seriously, but they offered to do absolutely nothing for my wasted money spent on their product. All they had to do was offer a couple of coupons for free pies to keep a customer of over 45 years, butt they did nothing... I will never buy any products made by them again.
User's recommendation: Do not buy any products from Marie Callendar's

Smaller portions
What happened to your once-great food? MC Frozen dinners used to be filling, good portions & taste great.
- Meatloaf even very small portion was still good tasting
- Real potatoes then how did they get so watery
User's recommendation: Don't be dupped by the packaging! Very Small Portions

*** food
- - The meatloaf dinner had hardly any sauce.
- - There was only a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
- - The meat was not good and the taste was not the same.
I normally buy Marie Callender's meals, but I was very dissatisfied with the meatloaf dinner. There was hardly any sauce on the meatloaf and maybe a spoonful of mashed potatoes. The meat was not good; the taste was just not the same.
- Some good food
- Lot of bad food
Preferred solution: Full refund

Disgusting fake meat
There's no longer real chicken in the pot pie. Most gross thing I've ever had in my mouth. Six tiny carrot pieces, a couple of peas.
Will never buy another.

Verified ReviewerNot sure if they have started using lab grown meat for their pot pies but...
- - Beef pot pie did not taste like beef and was not edible.
- - Chicken pot pie had poor-quality chicken.
I have long been a fan of this brand and I have had their pot pies in the past. But on a recent trip to the grocer, I decided to get one beef and one chicken pot pie.
I first microwaved the beef pot pie, I really enjoyed that I did not have to put it in the oven, but once I started eating the pot pie, I quickly noticed that the beef was not really beef! Not quite sure what it is, but it's not tasty or even edible for that matter. Fast forward two days, and I had much higher hopes for the chicken pot pie, but nope. The quality of the chicken just by looking at it was not in the least bit desirable.
I am saddened because this use to be a go to brand for pot pies, which I love.
Marie, why are you sacrificing qualify for $$$. Do better!

Roasted turkey breast and stuffing looks terrible, tastes terrible -
- - Quality issues harm the brand.
- - Potatoes are slimy in gravy and turkey is clumpy.
- - Discount requires buying four items and refunds are requested.
don't quality brings down your brand.
potatoes are slimy mixed in with gravy and hardly visible turkey is in clumps and not tasty- stuffing, even a kindergartener could make better tasting stuffing.
In order to get a discount, I had to buy 4 of your products. I hate to think of what the other 3 are going to be like. If you have quality control, it doesn't look like you do.
you need to refund the money spent by customers and get out of the business.

yes, and a strange flavor with the "chicken" recently. I believe it may be lab grown and thus will no longer be purchasing their products.
