and I purchase the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and also the turkey and mashed potatoes with broccoli and carrots. Both meals were disappointing and not eatable.

The mashed potatoes were so watery. The meatloaf looked pale like it had freezer burn.

The vegetables however were good. I will never buy this product again

Low standard meal

I purchased your honey roasted turkey breast last week and was going to eat it tonight for dinner since my husband was at work and I was alone. I followed the directions precisely.

After letting it stand a couple minutes to get cool I sat down to enjoy. To my surprise the potatoes and gravy were less than even a cream-styled soup texture. They were so watery that it was gross. I looked at the expiration date I said best by February 6th 2026 if I could post this all over the internet I would.

I don't mind paying money for something that is substantial and fair, but this dinner was crap.

As far as a recipe goes, no. I bought it last week from Safeway.

Tasteless bowl meal claiming to be a shrimp Mac & Cheese bowl. This contained 3 tiny shrimp theta that were rubbery and tasteless. The Mac & cheese also had no flavor. Someone is drinking your wine.

This should be called a Mac & Cheese bowl with some shrimp, as there were only three tiny shrimp in this bowl. It, along with the macaroni, had no flavor.

If there was wine, someone in your factory must have drunk it while making this product.

There was no flavor and the portions were small. I will now be making another meal for dinner, as I am hungry.

It had been a while since I had this brand and I bought several different meals. They were all awful and the problem is centered around that stuff they call potatos.

Not even close to what it used to be.

Are the mashed potatos artificial? It's like a greasy cream with a poor texture and flavor.

I bought the new chicken pot pie and chicken and broccoli bowl

The meals have red peppers in them, and they tasted overwhelmingly like the peppers. I didn't like the change and threw them out without finishing the meals.

I am very disappointed because I am a great customer of Marie Callender's frozen dinners.

Every single time I visit Los Angeles, California, I go to the restaurant. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and we don't have the restaurants here in my city, so therefore, I have to buy the frozen dinners.

Something I will have to think about. Banquet makes a good pie

Original review Dec 16, 2024

Bought 2 of your beef pies. My first thought was, 'Where's the vegetables?' No flavor.

Only 4 pieces of meat. I cut these in half just to have more beef. The cost was $3.19 each.

It wasn't the price, it was the pie itself. Will never buy again.

I purchased the Four Cheese Ravioli Bowl and the Shrimp Mac & Cheese bowl and both were not enough to fill a teenager little lone a full grown adult! My 7 year old grandson had the Ravioli and I a 61 year old man were still hungry for something else!

I suggest you add more to your bowls! Barely any Shrimp in with the Mac and Cheese plus there could have been more raviolis for the size of the bowls!

User's recommendation: Buy 2 or 3 bowls when buying cause one per person just isn't enough!

Marie Callenders Meals - Bad pie quality at pick up

Preordered pies for thanksgiving day. I arrived a little before 11 a.m.

to be informed that the banana cream pies were not ready and that they needed 30 mins. I waited over an hour and a half for my pie order, only to get a pie that was really hot and toppings melted due to the temperature of the pie which was not properly cooled down and prepared.

Hi. I am writing in complaint about the frozen turkey and dressing and honey roasted turkey breast meals.

I used to love both of these. I recently bought them again and was very disappointed in both of them. First of all, they in no way resemble what is on the boxes. The dressing might have two spoonfuls while the rest is soup.

I thought it might be a mistake and tried a second time and they were worse. The honey roasted turkey dinner was literally soup, while the vegetable section had two tiny pieces of broccoli and an overkill of carrots.

My husband gets the bowls, but those have become just as bad. I will no longer purchase Marie Callender's meals again.

Resolved: When I need a frozen dinner, I always buy Marie Callender. These and Stouffer’s are the best I’ve found.

Tonight I bought one because I was late figuring out what I wanted to eat for supper and I live alone so I picked up Marie Callender, turkey mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccoli dinner. It looks delicious, but Im really disappointed because it only has three little tiny pieces of broccoli in it. I mean P size if youre going to advertise something at least make sure the picture matches what you advertise and the food in it.

This looks so good on the box and I accidentally bought it again. Last time I bought it.

I got screwed. I lost my money and I did it again. This is the most pitiful looking dinner Ive ever seen in my life.

I cant believe you would put something that on the market like that Charge people four dollars for thats crazy. There wont be any more of my four dollars.

I've been buying the turkey dinner meal for 2 for close to 5 years. Winter comfort food!

Loved it! The package said it was the same thing, but the inside wasn't.

The potatoes were translucent with an odd taste, the potatoes and stuffing were gummy, there was very little gravy, and the turkey had dried, crispy bits. For the price I pay, I will not buy it anymore!

I noticed a dark thing just below too. I got a fork and it was a bug.

Severe quality decline

I get Marie Callender apple pies a couple of times a year for the holidays. I purchased one a few days ago for Thanksgiving.

I was caught off guard initially when I noticed that the pie seem to have a lot less liquid to apple ratio this year. I wondered to myself if maybe someone had actually forgot to put in the liquid since it just appeared to be apple slices. I was wrong, I cooked the pie according to the instructions only to end up with what could be described best is burnt apple slices in an undercooked crust.

I had to throw it out and grab another store bought. The date on the pie was 1031 **** so Im not sure what happened other than just terrible quality.
