Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery — Restaurant in Whittier

This is a shout-out to Eric who is the seasoned server extraordinaire who was more like an attentive concierge to all of us in the dining room. Eric made our two recent visits simply delightful! My stepdad had not been out to a restaurant or anywhere else in public for that matter due to a 2-month stay in the hospital from open heart surgery. Our first two breakfast outings were the first for him in many months, and the service Eric provided was top notch! Eric is an absolute master at making his guests feel welcome, cared for, and special. He has the most warm and kind personality, consistently anticipating our every need. More hot coffee? You got it. Delicious breakfasts exactly the way we ordered? Absolutely. A table in a location that accommodated my elderly parent? Right this way. This gentleman is celebrating 28 years dedicating his time and efforts to serving people in a way that generally goes without much recognition--helping to make mealtime with a family member or friend a joyful, relaxing, happy experience. Eric called other customers by their names, kept an upbeat and positive vibe as he joked with his co-workers, and conversed with us as if we were beloved neighbors who were regulars at the place. Eric truly has THE BEST personality and he just radiates with genuine goodness. You can tell he loves what he does, and he is great at it! Additionally, our breakfasts were top notch. Everything tasted delicious, was perfectly seasoned, and came out nice and hot. I had one of their omelets one day, and the week before I think I tried the California Breakfast Scramble. Both were amazingly good!

Congratulations to Eric on celebrating 28 years of being an awesome asset to Marie Callender's. For over 13 years I worked for one of the most notorious companies around known for their impeccable service. I know fantastic service when I see it, and Eric exudes the qualities that are required to provide it. Our family would return to this location in a heartbeat simply because of him (we were in the area next to the hospital for doctor's check-ups) and want to thank him dearly for treating us so well. My stepdad truly enjoyed his two breakfast outings to Marie Callender's, a BIG DEAL as he timidly tries to rejoin the world little by little (he is almost 85.) Eric, if you see this review, I hope you know the part you played in being such a sweet blessing and making us feel so comfortable. Thank you for the incredibly stellar service. You are a rock...

Maricela Maricela Maricela YOU have restored our faith in Marie Callender's! We decided to eat here as a family for 4TH OF JULY. With all the madness going on. I was looking for a quiet and "safe" place to eat as a family. My wife and I decided on Marie Callender's because Youngest grandchild HAD NEVER had lemon merengue pie Marie Callender's is WALKING distance from us Wanted my kids to enjoy great tasting traditional cooking and Their pies, pies, pies!

Despite past, NEGATIVE experience. Marie Callender's hit all the marks of going back! and glad we did. Right ftom the start, our server Maricela made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. We were a party of eight and she treated us as if she actually LIVED with us! Knowing what each would like and such. Great suggestions. Maricela never missed a beat, always on point with our refills and our wellbeing. Add to that the old-time charm of the restaurant. The food is great as ever Son-in-law and I had the lemon pepper salmon and spicy salmon dinners, respectively. His with a warm slice of French apple pie. Mine with a delicious cup of clam chowder Wife and daughter each had one the cheeseburger dinners. Wife loved the onion rings. My two teens had the chicken & broccoli fettuccine Alfredo and the younger ones each had the chicken strips and cheeseburger. Sorry, no pics on our food, this time. But we'll be back DEFINITELY. We all had our pies to go. Again, Thank you, Maricela, for the great and WONDERFUL service you provided me AND my family. We all commented that it's been s9 long since we've had such a service. Kudos to Marie Callender's for hiring...

12/31/20 Order -56 Server -Alycia.C I upset with the service not the food at this location, let’s get that straight first . Today I walked into the restaurant for some dessert and there were 2 customers ahead of me waiting to be served , while at the kitchen counter there were 3 female employees who would rather stand there and chitchat away then service the customers . They were talking about boyfriends ands and their plans for later this evening. While another young lady was working cleaning the service area . I took for me to ask the customers ahead of me if they had been served and they said “no they were wait for someone to acknowledge them . “Some I asked out loud if anyone was working there or was it break time and they answered with attitude “will get to you in a minute. “ Secondly once it was my turn for service they had no idea what they had left dessert wise and said the tagging was off so it might not be what the tag reads . Really you can have time to chitchat away but not know what you have left . I not sure if this is how business is conducted regularly at this location, but needs to be put in check and fixed by the acting manager. Really...
