Mary Mary's Cafe — Restaurant in Washington

We were in town for a family function the night before and headed here for breakfast on a Sunday morning based on a recommendation by our family. We arrived a little after 9:30 - a group of 8 (including 2 teenagers). We were seated without delay and provided with menus to look over. Drink orders were taken and delivered. Orders were taken - Eggs Benedict was not on the menu but we were assured they had them. 4 of our group of 8 selected Eggs Benedict but with different sides (hash browns, hash browns smothered in gravy, home fries & crispy home fries). Others had Biscuits & Gravy (2) and the other had a Taco Omelette. It took some time to get our complete order - mine - (which was the Eggs Benedict with crispy Home fries) was the last to be delivered (but had been delivered to the table but didn’t determine until the last was received because of the different cooked home fries). The food was delivered hot & plentiful. The hollandaise sauce had good flavor just felt it was a little overboard as I wasn’t able to taste the egg or English muffin separately. The gravy with the biscuits and gravy was what was expected for that specific dish. The customer service was great - could tell it was a place that had a lot of repeat customers. Although our tickets were mixed up - it was handled thoroughly by the staff - including my mix up with the total and not applying the right total on the bottom because of my tip (should’ve worn my glasses lol). Overall the charm and welcome extended in this cafe was very refreshing & if you are ever in the area you should...

My boyfriend and I came here around 9:20am as we were waiting for an event nearby that started at 10am. As we entered, it was super packed and there was a large party waiting to be seated. Luckily, the waitresses noticed us and told us that a party of two could be seated right away. We were seated at a booth near a window which was cute and intimate. We were offered coffee right away and it's wonderful that the servers here are always wandering around at coffee at the right times to refill as my boyfriend never had an empty or cold cup of coffee.

When we were ordering, we were told that they were backed up on orders but we didn't mind since we had time. I got the SOS full order with a side of grits with my boyfriend got the Mary Mary's breakfast bite. The grits were a good size but it wasn't really worth getting. I feel like they should add cheese on top for the price too. The gravy was great with my breakfast plate and my boyfriend enjoyed his breakfast bite. We'll come back once we try some of the other spots around as there are quite a bit a few diners in the Spanaway area to which one is our favorite but so far this is not a bad spot for those who enjoy American breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The service here is definitely friendly no matter who comes by. They greet you with such kindness and bid you farewell with the same amount. They are also pretty good about checking in at the right times. The interior here feels very classical retro American diner. The bathroom here was clean and...

My husband grabbed us a late breakfast from this cafe as he likes their breakfasts when he doesn't feel like cooking. I love Monte Cristo's so that's what I asked for. I have NO idea what this sandwich is. The bread is nasty. Looks and tastes like some frozen 'french toast' bread that they serve at a Hampton Inn breakfast buffet. No flavor, no crunch, no sweetness, nothing.

Then they put American cheese on it. AMERICAN cheese on a Monte Cristo! It is supposed to be SWISS cheese or maybe gruyere. The sandwich itself should be battered and fried or pan fried, but nope. Just the fake french toast bread and ham and turkey and American cheese. NO dusting of powdered sugar, and NO raspberry preserves served with it.

If you've ever had this sandwich at Cheesecake Factory, Walt Disney World, or an actual French restaurant, this sandwich is a travesty.

Now I'm going to have to figure out how to sneak this nasty sandwich in it's styrofoam container out the house into the trash bin on the side of the house so I don't hurt by husband's feelings for trying to be nice and getting me food knowing that he completely threw away $14.

At least the fresh cut fries were edible. But even those were made hospital style with no salt...
