Mary's Bread Basket — Restaurant in Georgia

A friend and I selected this restaurant based on the reviews. We arrived shortly after 11am and selected breakfast. The woman who took our order told us it would be a long wait so we also picked up a cinnamon roll to snack on while we waited. We paid and served ourselves coffee and water. (There is no table service). The coffee was good as was the cinnamon roll. Good ratio of dough to cinnamon and plenty of icing. It’s a runnier icing but I prefer that over thicker frosting like icings. When the food came, the eggs, biscuit and bacon were all room temperature. The biscuit was not hot and they didn’t provide butter. The bacon seemed like it was batch cooked and sat in a chafing dish until it was put on the plate. The eggs were cooked to order but still didn’t come out hot. They were out of hashbrowns so we ordered the grits, they were lumpy and flavorless. Even a sprinkle of salt failed to revive them. I would be giving a 1 star save for the cinnamon roll.

The atmosphere is non existent. The place is in a small office building, you sit in what feels like a large office break room. A roll of paper towels sits on the table and you are served with plastic utensils. The cake display shown in photos was not there when we visited.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why this place is so highly rated. If you do try this place, definitely skip the...

My husband and I had lunch at Mary’s Bread basket on Saturday. We wanted to try a local spot near Big Canoe. I’m so glad we stopped in because this place is a gem! The tuna sandwich on cheddar jalapeño was delicious and my chipotle chicken salad was fresh and savory. We had enough to take home for a snack later and we also got a slice of coconut cake to go. The cake is a bit heavy on the frosting, but that’s an easy fix. I’d like to try the strawberry cake next time. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. The ladies who took our order and served us were both very nice and ready with suggestions. Make sure to let them know you want to add a tip before they run your card (no Amex). We didn’t know that and scrambled for some cash. We ended up getting a jalapeño cheddar loaf to go because the...

If I didn't have to watch calories, I would eat there breakfast, lunch and wish they had dinner every day, but ok, maybe twice a week. As a Big Canoe resident, we have used them for luncheons, funerals, weddings, showers , birthday, up name it and just plain when we want. Perfect combination of sandwich choices on their impeccable breads. Their cranberry walnut, with any inside choice, is to die for. Have decided to give the cranberry walnut bread for Christmas gifts this year combined with any kind of jam. Honestly, the bread is so good, nothing has to go on it. Our two favorites are chicken salad and pimento cheese toasted. If you call in order first for an order of breads, you'll find it warm waiting on you. And I can assure you will have eaten at least one piece before its...
