Mary Lee's Cafe — Restaurant in Alabama

Well I guess I’ll be the first non-5 star. I chose this place because of their rating and the fact we love small family establishments. The simple complaint is we waited 45 minutes to get our food. Once it finally arrived, my onion rings were raw. The reason for 2 stars is my wife’s salad was good and my wings were fine, though we’d ordered the sauce on the side and they came drenched.

I probably would have walked away without posting this review, but I went in to wash my hands after eating wings and one of the workers was complaining to other customers about us. I’m certainly not sure why she was complaining about us. All my wife did was check on the status of our food after about 40 minutes since we were sitting outside with our dog. I suggested in the future, if you are so busy that you let your customers know it may take longer than usual. When I commented to her and the group she was complaining to, she did offer to refund our money to which I rejected. Funny thing my wife had also left a 20% tip (“To Insure Prompt Service”) in the jar at the counter when she ordered. I can tell your restaurant is popular by the crowd. I hope you can improve your timeline for food and certainly treat your customers as you would expect...

I don’t know where to start. 10 stars! This place is a hidden Gem and it should be on diners and drives! The food is amazing, well balanced, not over seasoned or under seasoned. It’s fresh. The fried foods are light and crunchy, so just right! Every single aspect of the food has been perfected down to the little details. That’s my experience! You can tell the owner and staff really care! Thanks again and...

This a great, family owned and operated cafe’. Always amazing food and service. The food is cooked to order, they don’t cook up a bunch of food and let it sit for hours, it’s always fresh. If they’re busy it’s going to take a few minutes, but it’s worth it. So, if that makes you scream at the staff, act like a jerk and leave a bad review, I guess that’s just the kind of sad, pathetic...
