Mary's Diner of Franklin county — Restaurant in Virginia

All I can figure is the people that work there gave the 5 star reviews. This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. After waiting 10 minutes to have someone ask what we wanted to drink we thought we should just leave.. always listen to your inner voice..so we finally ordered nothing special just something easy off the menu.

Maybe you have to be a regular or maybe you have to be 85 to be served faster not sure but what I do know for sure is I would not recommend this diner to anyone. And the tea I did have tasted funny so I probably missed a good case of indigestion or diarrhea...

I’m writing as I eat, because the food and experience are too good to wait. Mary’s team cooked some take out food for my family tonight.

Not only that, but she graciously and humbly shares her talents and meals with the community through different outreach programs. So if you’re looking for a meal to fill your tummy and soul, please come to Mary’s. She’s proud of what she has created, and with...

My friend and I thought we’d try Mary’s last night for a casual Saturday night dinner last night. We liked the nice bar and dining area, clean establishment, and very friendly waitstaff. We both ordered a Farmer Fred’s burger with fries and two beverages. However upon getting our burger it was a standard bun, the meat was not fresh or not think at allAs a matter of fact it was no bigger than a coaster and the hamburger came with no onion on it. The fries looked like they were barely cooked ( very blonde) and a bit greasy. Then, as we went to pay the cashier our meal totaled to an astounding $30, which my mouth dropped. I will never again pay that amount for a hamburger and fries!! Underserved and...
