Maria’s Family Restaurant

Very very affordable breakfast! So mom and pop style! The waffles are my fav… YUMMA. If ur in that neighborhood and craving mom and pop style… u gotta go!!!

I’ve been here plenty of times and this time I met with a friend. Unbeknownst to me, this guy is very persnickety about his toast and his coffee. The waitress was polite about it, though, which gets this place an extra star.
The service was fast, as usual, and they only overcook my eggs *sometimes.*
That said, the food is cheap and good for the price.
We sat there for over 90 minutes and my friend did card tricks during our time there. Nobody tried to rush us out or gave us nasty looks.
This place has the same quality food with better prices and faster service than Petie’s down at Shoregate. If given a choice between the 2 I’d definitely go here.

I like it here. Mostly quiet. food is OK the ranch from the salad bar is home made and taste mostly of vinegar. So I bring my own

Our Amanda was excellent and the food was just as good. Wasn’t super busy for a Sunday but the staff was attentive and very pleasant. Will be coming back here for breakfast soon.

This is certainly a strange establishment. Went for breakfast. The food was average. It is kind of hard to screw up eggs. The décor. .paneling and rickety booths, made the ambiance feel very dated. Service was… not so good. Waitress was a bit snippy with our group.

OK… what prompted me to go in was the advertisement of the «all you can eat salad bar». I’m pretty much a vegan nowadays and I didn’t want to do anything that evening so I thought, «Why not?!»
Being as I don’t expect miracles, I kept my mind open going in…
I ordered the salad bar and the person opposite me ordered some kind of chicken dish. That chicken was so SAD-​looking (dry and small and sad)!
I ventured to the salad bar to fulfill my hunger and was greeted by plates the size of saucer plates… the ingredients available were freshish and all that but most weren’t even ingredients for a salad while obvious salad choices were missing. I felt like I had no options whatsoever as far as what I could eat. In summary, I ate a lot of lettuce and beets…
The waitress was EXTREMELY nice… not even fake or just REALLY good at being fake nice. I’ll take it though. The middle-​aged woman in high heels clamoring around the salad bar adjusting the ice almost every 5 minutes was REALLY annoying. I found myself waiting and waiting for her to leave as to go back for my next tongful of lettuce and beets.
For what we received and the quality of it, it was overpriced. Especially considering we were the only people in there that seemed to be under 60… possibly 70.
If you want Keno, the smell of impending death, and need a good cardio workout go to Maria’s and order the salad bar.
If you just want to eat and do so in a good atmosphere, you’d be better off somewhere else. :(

I hate i have to give a place a bad rating over eggs and bad services but this is the case here.
I was in town visiting my family and my sister suggested this diner for breakfast. We get there in order a grand slam meal that includes 2 eggs. She asked the typical question «how would you like your eggs» and my sister said boiled. The waitress leaves with the order and return to let us know that they do not have any eggs boiled. She offers to cook them a different way. My sister explains that she only eats her eggs boiled so cooking them a different way is not a solution and ask if she can substitute them for something else. The waitress of course says no substitution.
We asked how do you have eggs but not boiled eggs — She explains that they usually do but the prep did not boil any eggs that morning so therefore they do not have any and again all she can do is cook them a different way — So I again I repeat «she only eats her eggs boiled». The waitress then rudely replies «That is not my fault she only eats boiled eggs». I then state «and it is not our fault that you serve boil eggs but for whatever reason do no have them to serve therefore a substitution seems plausible in this instance». Again very rudely she replies «Look there is nothing i can do for you» and walks away. We just all look at each other in astonishment and get up and walk away. She yells out to us «Bye have a great day»
Two words: unprofessional and tacky

Service is always great. The prices are reasonable and the food good. Nice salad bar as well. I go often for lunch specials.
