Marie Callender’s – Milpitas, CA

Usually, I wouldn’t want to put a restaurant such as this one on the site, but I thought that I’d make an exception this time.  Since it was pretty late that night, my sister and I went to Marie Callender’s for a late dinner.

We ordered a Chicken Tenders appetizer, which came in a “cup” that was stuffed full of fries.  Sort of a different plating style than I’m normally accustomed to seeing.  While I like it, it does make it a little difficult to get to the fries without disturbing the stack of chicken tenders.

Main entrees ordered that night was the Chicken Pot Pie (my Grandpa’s favorite) and the Baked Cavatappi Pasta and Caesar salad combo.  I quite enjoy the chicken pot pie as well, especially the nice flaky crust on top.  The only thing I wish they would change about this dish is to include a pie crust for the bottom portion of the pie as well (instead of just having flaky crust on top).

I was a little surprised by the Cavatappi as it was pretty good good (for $5.99).  I believe it didn’t have any meat as well, but the cheese was nice and melted.  Caesar salad was pretty fresh, they went a little heavy with the dressing (I suspect maybe it wasn’t tossed well enough).
