Mary Jane Burgers & Brew

Great place and great atmosphere. I had the holy hot burger. Spicy but great flavor. The best part of the experience was our waitress Ragan! She did an amazing job. Service was best in class. I’m from Kentucky and this is part of the market I cover. I will definitely be back.

Although the food is good, the service is a bit lacking. Everyone at my table except me got their food at the same time. We waited… and waited… and waited, but my food didn’t come out (even though a waitress who wasn’t even assigned to our table came to assure me that my order was up and «she would bring it immediately»).
I told the other people in my group to go ahead and eat. Yet another waitress who was not assigned to our table finally brought out a burger that I had not ordered. When I told her that I hadn’t ordered the burger she brought, she snapped «Well, that’s not my fault!» and walked away.
Finally, the manager came out and asked what I had ordered, apologized, and comped my meal. I’m pretty sure my food didn’t even begin cooking until the manager went and put in my order herself. So, as I said, even though the food was good (I finally got my correct order after everyone else at my table had finished eating) and the manger did her best to make it right, I likely won’t be going back.

All the burgers are fantastic, mac & cheese is wonderful. Must try the pulled pork nachos and fried pickles before you order your meal! Have a MJ hurricane too.

My wife and I were in Perryville for May Fest and we’re looking for a place to get a drink and something to eat, so we went into Mary Jane’s. From the start I could tell that this was going to be a good experience, but I was wrong, it was great. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was great also. We were waited on promptly and in just a few minutes had our drinks and our food was ordered. Great beer selection, and outstanding food. I would recommend this place to everyone. We will be going back.

Stopped by on a road trip. Worth the stop off the interstate. Wonder BLT and large beer selection. Will remember this place for next time.

Small town hospitality with small town prices is common. Those two things with a good selection of craft beer and really good food are much more rare!
This place is the total package. The friendly bar staff took their time to explain the highlights of the area to me so I can try to enjoy my time here on business. The steak I had was awesome. Basically it was a $ 30 steak for $ 18. And delicious and local craft beers for only $ 3.50! That’s less than a Miller Lite in lots of places!
And icing on the cake — live music. The night I was there, they had a decent guy doing an acoustic solo set.

Road tripping through Missouri we found this gem in downtown Perryville. Super fun pub w local sourced beef and lots of craft brews on tap. We tried the St Patty’s Day reuben and little kiddo sliders. We enjoyed the atmosphere, that was very open including an actual rollup door at the entrance. Friendly service and well maintained spaces including restrooms. Go enjoy and walk around downtown Perryville!

We had a volleyball tournament in the area. So before the hour and a half drive home we decided to visit this restaurant, because of the Unilocal reviews. We waited for over a half hour for our table. While two other groups walked in with 2 less people than our party and were immediately seated. When we were finally seated we walked into a half empty restaurant. The servers could not answer questions about the menu, and the wait for our food was over 45 minutes. I would have loved giving «Mary Jane» a good review, but it was very disappointing The one positive point is the Wooden wall hangings were unusual and neat

The owner contacted me three days post visit and apologized and stated the service was unacceptable and wanted to send me a gift certificate. I declined stating I always give a restaurant at least two chances. And as I said — the burger was AWESOME!
Thanks!

Wow, this place was far beyond expectation. I guess we should have known when it was mostly full even before noon.
I’m a bit of a chicken wing snob, because I like a great sauce, but wings that aren’t greasy or bready. I’ve had grilled wings, before, but these were not just grilled but actually smoked. The tender, smokey flavor suffused all of the moist meat, and the crispy charred crust coated with tangy buffalo sauce made them honestly the best wings I’ve ever had.
The quesadilla was also good. The «mj blat» was a terrific bacon, lettuce, bacon, avocado, bacon, tomato, and bacon sandwich on grilled sourdough. I don’t want to think how many calories there were in this baby.
We were just passing through, which is probably a good thing, or I’d have lunch here every day!

This could have been five stars but, it took a LONG time to get our food. I got the Italian Stallion, one of their signature dishes and it was just OK. The marinara made it a sloppy mess and overpowered the flavor. Rarely do I comment on condiments but the ketchup is worth the mention. Their ketchup has a smoky flavor that makes it tremendous. Frankly, I wish I had got the Plain Jane with ketchup and it would have been a phenomenal. Atmosphere was excellent.

Excellent food! The burgers we had were exceptional! Try the pork wontons too! Yummy!
The only downfall, long wait for a table. Harder with little ones to be patient!

Solid!!! If you are in Perryville and need a bite to eat — include this place on your trip plan. Impeccable customer service, OUTSTANDING hamburger and fries, and the pretzel with the beer cheese dipping sauce arrived hot, fresh, and ready to eat.
The beer sampler is probably one of the best values on the menu — six, seven ounce beers from their rotating draft menu.
Very positive experience!

So lots of good reviews already written. What I would add is this is not just a small town hidden gem bar an grill. The food is excellent! The food is unique! A chef with some real skills creates some awesome combinations. And of course served with some really good brews. They even have a monthly beer pairing 6 course meal event.

Why can’t I give more stars?! Excellent everything! We tried wings, burgers, salad and 7 beers. Everything was so well done and the atmosphere is top notch. The owners are so kind and truly care about their business. Friendly staff and great location in a small town. Love you guys!

When I’m visiting my sister in Cape, I’ve always missed a microbrew place with some killer food. I’ve always told her that’s why I won’t move near her. Well tucked away in little town called Perryville is Mary Jane’s. I’m now rethinking of moving to Cape. This place was phenomenal. Truly. I ordered the smokey jam burger. Holy Yum! It was topped with smoked Gouda and bacon jam and garlic aioli. I ordered the pretzel with beer cheese as well. I included my picture of the pretzel however my burger was almost gone by the time I remembered to snap a picture. They have rotating microbrews and I talked to the bartender about making beer. It sounds like there are some big plans for this place and I definitely will be a patron.
IF YOU GPS this place from Unilocal: CAUTION: my GPS took me the wrong way down the one way street to get here. This street was recently made into a one way so that Mary Jane’s could have a patio. If you turn on the street the wrong way it’s also right in front of Perryville Police Department.

Mary Jane’s was my husband’s idea. What a wonderful surprise!
First the service was great. Our server was attentive, funny and helpful.
The Food :
Apps: Fried Pickles, and Soft Pretzels with beer cheese (homemade). Well the pretzels were warm, soft, delicious. The beer cheese was tangy with blend of peppers yummy.
The fried pickles were homemade, fresh out of the frier. Man were they hot ! The batter was good, it helped bring out the tang in the pickle without taking away from it. The sauce was good but I felt it covered up the pickle taste .
The meals: We got burgers. I got the Monk burger. Bacon, beer cheese, onions, pretzel bun. Yummy yummy. The burger itself was big and juicy. The the beer cheese and bacon, were a wonderful compliment to the burger. The only complaint I have was that I like my burgers medium, wish they would have asked .
In all I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We will be back !

The minute you walk in Mary Jane’s, you know you are in a special place. It is an inviting place from the antique hardwood floor to the friendly faces that greet you. The employees really must love to work there. They are always smiling and making sure everything is just great for you.
Inside the building is very rustic. Rough wood siding on the inside with wood floors and tables. They have unique carvings on the wall. The side of the building that faces the street is almost all glass.
They even have two «garage door» type walls of glass that can be raised in good weather to bring the outside in.
The food and the beer is the focus of this restaurant. The owner has taken great pride in presenting one of the most outstanding restobar menus in Southeast Missouri. I live in Cape Girardeau and this little place beats anything in our town.
The specialty Burgers down to the gourmet fries, heck even the ketchup is unique in this place. I love just to sit down and ask what the special is and take what they think is best. I have never been disappointed. I’m not sure how many beers they have on tap but the lineup is impressive. They even have a beer tasting club you can join and they keep track of what you have tasted.
They have Pizza’s and about anything else you would expect from a bar/​restaurant. What you won’t expect is the flair and commitment that they put into every service. When I’m in Perryville it is my «go to» place to take my clients. It’s hard to have a bad experience at Mary Jane’s.

Used Unilocal!to find this place while on I-55…thank you Unilocalers
Cool place, great menu, easy to get to… and just 2.2 miles off I-​55!
3 stars for good burgers and another star for cool factor

I had heard about this place from a friend. Gourmet burgers and a beer wall, I had to check this out. After the Smashburger tasting I have been on a quest for tasty burgers. This place is easy to find in Perryville, it is on the corner of Jackson St right at the square. I am not sure how long they have been open, I do know that the place is named after the owners mother Mary Jane, they have a beautiful vintage picture of her hanging proudly on the wall near the bar area. The place does not look that big from the outside, but the inside is huge. Nice comfortable high back warm leather chairs were nestled around tables. A hostess was on duty and seated us quickly.
We were hungry and had a difficult time deciding which burger to eat. The menu offered about 14 burgers, what. They have a gourmet chef that creates each burger. I picked the Tricky Ricky, which was a quarter pound burger with swiss cheese, portabello mushrooms and a beef sauce. It was heavenly. My friend ordered the Johnny, it was a double cheese burger with fried onion rings and a bbq sauce. the backet were served with hand cut french fries and homemade catsup.
Since I am not a beer drinker, I ordered the Bloody Mary, it was homemade, specks of pepper of the rim, celery, and a toothpick with olives and sausage. It was a little sip of heaven.
They also offer a beer club, when you drink 20 of their different beers, you earn a beer club shirt. This place needs to be the next Unilocal event in Perryville.
