Last Call For Marie Callender’s Backyard BBQ!

By Erin

Disclosure: I received a gift card to sample Marie Callender’s Backyard BBQ Menu, but we ended up spending way more than that since my family loves to go here anyways.  All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

Even though it may seem like fall with all the decorations, fall drinks, and with school being back in session, but it is still technically summer! The weather here still screams summer as it has and looks like it will be unbearably hot out for a while yet. Why not take advantage of what is left of summer and have some good old-fashioned BBQ? Nothing beats a good BBQ in the summer time and at Marie Callender’s you can still enjoy a great BBQ meal with their Backyard BBQ Menu! Come and get it while you still can! It’s only here until Sunday, September 14th!! After this weekend it will be gone. 🙁

Always a family favorite that I grew up with, with the salad bar that you can get with your meal and meals that come with a piece of pie, a great deal can always be found at Marie Callender’s, including their BBQ meals!
