text: Years ago I did eat at a Marie Callenders somewhere in California From what I remember the food was good But then again that was a pretty long time agonnWe got invited to Thanksgiving dinner at a friends house and I thought it would be a good idea to bring over some pies Not the cheap grocery store kind I wanted ones that were reputable and delicious I called the restaurant in the beginning of November and asked how their ordering process works The employee told me that because they sell so many pies during Thanksgiving they do not do preorders However they would have a tent set up in the parking lot with a lot of their pies available to purchase so all I would have to do is come on downnnLuckily the day before Thanksgiving I got out from work early so I drove straight here The parking lot was packed and the line was pretty long But it was not as bad as it looked The employees did a good job at keeping the line moving I think because they only had registers and had to either fix or replace the register tape often that was the reason why the lines did not move any faster Plus there were some customers who were like What These are THAT expensive On second thought I will just buy one Ummm helloread the signs people You had all that time waiting in line to look at their prices and to decide I picked up Pumpkin and Chocolate Satin this one is made with a Oreo crust nnListening to other peoples conversations preorders can be done online They had a separate tent for preorders of pies and feasts with a short line Good to know for next year The pies were tasty The Chocolate Satin pie was kind of rich but everyone enjoyed both I may come back and to buy more pies for Christmas this year
