The food was below average. We both ordered the chicken soup that you’re so famous for and it was literally broth with dumplings in it. We had no carrots no chicken. I asked my husband. Do you have anything else in your soup and he kind of spooned it around and said nope. I have no idea what seasoning you put in your tuna salad for a tuna sandwich, but it was disgusting. My husband wanted a plain grilled cheese on regular bread to go with the soup and it came out on Texas toast. I don’t know if you got a new cook new owners have no idea but we’ve eaten here 100 times and this was the worst food we’ve ever had

We stopped at Mary's for breakfast and didn't go away hungry! I ordered the Gyro Skillet, which came with hash browns, tomatoes, onions, gyro meat, tzatziki sauce, three eggs, and two slices of toast! I wasn't able to eat the 3rd egg or the toast. Our granddaughter ordered the cream cheese stuffed crepes, and they were enormous! My wife and I helped her with it, but we still couldn't finish it. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The next time we come to Appleton, we will definitely eat here, but we will SHARE our entrees.

A family restaurant that has been in town for more years than I can remember. Most Appleton residents eat here. My wife and I had the two Wednesday specials. Food was hot and tasty. Everything on their menu is homemade. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, the menu is vast. A lot like home cooking.

I was always taught to sandwich criticism between compliments so, here we go. The online ordering system was very easy to use and detailed which made ordering a breeze. However, the food we got was undoubtedly the worst food we have ever paid for. Perhaps it was my mistake for ordering the chicken parm, but it was listed under Marys favorites or something. There was no sauce but just water from an old tomato can, and then overcooked pasta and chicken that appeared to be cooked in water as well. The picture of when we opened the box says it all. The garlic toast that came with it was so burnt that even our dog spit it out. We got the chicken dumpling soup because we were told how great it was, and perhaps it was an off day in the kitchen because the soup was more like the liquid you get from thawing chicken mixed with veggies. Back to the positives, the fries were good and the COVID protocols were all great. Needless to say, we are glad we tried it so at least we know now.

I visited Mary's restaurant on Richmond St. in Appleton on Saturday November 6. Our party of 3 adults and 3 toddlers arrived at 10:40 AM and were promptly seated. After 20 minutes we had to ask for a waitress. A few minutes later a waitress arrived and took our drink order (all waters) then walked away before we could order food. Another 10 minutes passed and she did not return. So 30+ minutes in our booth with no drinks or opportunity to order food. Meanwhile I table seated after us already had drinks served and order placed. Message received loud and clear....families with toddlers are not welcome here.

First time here. We went in for lunch to have breakfast. Sorry but it was nothing special. The one great thing is they bring a urn of coffee to the table so you dont have to wait for refills.

I ordered to go for dinner on my way home. Ordered meatloaf, mash potatoes, for myself and hamburger and fries for my son, very very disappointed. This was my first time ordering food there and it sucked. Hamburger was very thin and dried out my meatloaf didn’t even look like meatloaf it looked like compressed meat and of course the potatoes were instant. Very disappointed. Waste of my $20 and I will not order anything from there again. It was my first time and my last time ordering there. Needless to say both meals went in the garbage. Never again

We were greeted quickly and seated quickly by a friendly young lady. Friendliness and efficiency ended there. Our waitress brought us coffee (not good coffee) and didn't even pour the first cup. She then took our order. It took over 30 minutes for my husband's oatmeal to be served. She told me that my eggs would be "up in a second." At least 5 full minutes later she delivered my eggs (done nicely), my bacon (asked for crisp, got limp) and soft, soggy toast. The potatoes were good. My husband had eaten most of his breakfast by the time mine was served. Our server never smiled. When I asked about the wait for our meals all she said was "it'll be up soon." They were not overly busy when we were there. This was a very disappointing experience because we just moved to a neighborhood near Mary's Place and thought it would be a regular place to go have a meal. We absolutely will not go back. I do not recommend it at all.

We get carryout Broasted chicken from Mary's, it is very good and a good value. It is not the best Broasted chicken; a little on the small side, but very good. The mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw are also generous and very good. I really like the chicken dumpling soup, and always get it as an extra, sometimes they include it for free. The soup is flavorful and I love the dumplings, but don't expect any actual chicken.

Breakfast here was a Great Choice! The omelets were excellent & served exactly as ordered. The omelets come with a variety of choices including options for potatoes, meat & fruit. The order of Pancakes with Steawberries included 2 large pancakes with a generous portion of Strawberries. Our waitress was at our booth immediately to inquire what we would like to drink. She was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean. We did not notice excess noise even with many customers. Parking was immediately adjacent to the restaurant. The omelets were $9.00+. We will return here next time we’re in town!

We stopped in to try the chicken dumpling soup, which is good but maybe not quite as good as it's made out to be. The service is fast and friendly. Large parking lot.

Service was good, good food with big portions. The meat & cheese omelette was great - with hash brown patties potatoes and toast. The homemade quiche was also a winner.
