I spotted this place a few years ago driving by and it took my until early 2023 to finally stop in on a Saturday night. We (two adults, two kids) were welcomed graciously and were seated immediately. The restaurant is quite average inside, no special ambiance and the room was quite loud. The waitress mentioned the kitchen was coming off the night’s peak ordering time and it would take a little longer to get the food on the table so we ordered an appetizer. That took 25 minutes to come, and dinner showed up after a good hour passed by. No one asked if we would like drinks refilled, checked if we wanted to get more bread since the wait was so long, etc. even though the dining room was almost empty by the time food was ready. None of the meals had real flavor (salmon, burger, pizza, panini) and some of them needed to be reheated. Prices were quite reasonable and everyone was kind to us. There was more than one billing error on our check. Bottom line, there are too many great dining spots in our city to come back for an experience like this. I think Maria’s owes its success to the fact that there is nothing literally like this between downtown Conshy and Main St in Manayunk so it’s just a combination of convenient&not...

A perfect example of what you get when people take no pride in their work and dont care about their jobs. Food is fine, but I cant ever get any of it! Most of the time when I order I get something that is not what I ordered, or just food cooked to sub par standards (think mushy fried foods that fall apart when you pick them up, but are supposed to be crispy). Its like the people who work here do not eat this food or something. I thought it was just a communication error sometimes, so I started ordering online so I could type what I wanted, no better. Things are still all screwed up, but its clearly their kitchen. This place also takes as much time to cook food as other places take to cook and deliver it. If they deliver something wrong to you, you wont be eating for over an hour and a half after you place your order. Someone tell the owner! Inconsistent food I have had to throw away more than once has stopped me from ever ordering from here again. For a long time I just stopped ordering things they have no consistency with and tried sticking to basic simple things. In the past week I have thrown out two meals I picked up to eat later in the day. NEVER AGAIN WILL THESE JOKERS...
