★★★★★ 5.0 Samantha Gustafson · Jan 2026

We come to visit family for the holidays, and without fail, every single visit includes a stop at Mary’s, and every time it’s an absolute joy. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can feel the care that goes into everything they do. All of the food is handmade from scratch, and we’ve truly never been disappointed. For years now, they’ve consistently delivered the kind of good old-fashioned home cooking that’s hard to find anymore. I forgot to take a picture of the pancakes, but trust me when I say they are hands-down some of the best pancakes you will ever have in your life. Fair warning, though: they are plate-sized. I ordered them, fully confident in myself, and still had to admit defeat. Another gentleman ordered a short stack, clearly a man who looked like he could demo

★★★★★ 5.0 Alfredo L. · Jan 2026

Updated review a year later: Mary’s is better than ever! It’s truly from-scratch feel good country cooking and beyond delicious. In the past week we had a brisket sandwich, a Sunday fried chicken buffet, multiple breakfasts, and cinnamon rolls. Everything was, without exaggeration, delicious. The service is also exceptional! Our waitress was friendly, clearly loved working there, and really made us feel right at home. We’ve traveled all over the world and love to eat. Everything from Michelin star fine dining to hole in the wall joints. we’re not yanking your chain here— it’s worth a drive to experience the food and friendly service. It’s not fancy fare but it’s feel good home cooking that’ll have you leaving with a smile. Note: it’s cash only

★★★★★ 5.0 Alfredo Luque · Dec 2024

We’re visiting from Oregon and dropped by this amazing diner/cafe for breakfast. I do not say this lightly… WOW. The service is super warm and welcoming, the eggs were spot on, bacon cooked to perfection, and the sausage gravy was delicious. Loved the fried potatoes too. We ate a ton and felt great afterwards, nothing was greasy. Prices were super fair too. Absolutely drop by here for their breakfasts. You won’t regret it.

I love Mary's Cafe. Always friendly people. Courteous servers, and good food.

Breakfast buffet was ok. French toast on it was hard as a rock and bacon was overcooked. But was good otherwise
