From the outside of the building you can't really tell what is inside. The windows are all darkened and the entrance is set off from the dining side. But once inside, I weaved through the maze of tables to get to a booth on the other side. This was the quintessential family diner. Not fancy by any means, just an atmosphere where having a conversation with another table (which I did) is not unusual or extraordinary. The food was hot. The ham and cheese omelette was nothing special, it was a rolled omelette which I appreciate. The hash browns were fresh. When I say fresh, I suspect they actually shredded the potatoes that morning. They didn't have that frozen from a bag flavor. The one thing I wish they did, was shrink the menu. Choice fatigue made me choose my own standby this time. This menu is huge, I'd say it gives Cheesecake Factory a run for the money with menu size. Overall though, this is a place that you could easily make "your place" for local food spots.

I have been to Mauri's a few times before and had reviewed the restaurant in the past, but once…read moreagain, for whatever reason, my previous written review is missing. I'm not sure why this keeps happening. Mauri's is a family-owned, family-friendly restaurant that serves tasty breakfast/ lunch fare. They have omelets, skillets, pancakes, waffles, Mexican breakfast dishes, sandwiches, and more. Mauri's is a community staple and popular among the locals. They have a nice variety on their menu, and the pricing is reasonable. The restaurant is inviting and has a good ambiance. In the past, I had tried a couple of different varieties of their omelets, which were good, especially the Acapulco omelet and Azucena omelet. On my recent visit, I ordered their Country Chicken Skillet that had chicken, chorizo, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers mixed in with hash browns and topped with cheddar cheese and two eggs cooked your way. I also asked for tomatoes in my skillet, which was a $1 upcharge. My wife ordered the Western skillet that had ham, onions, tomatoes, and peppers mixed in with hash browns and topped with cheese and two eggs. We had a choice of toast or pancakes, and we both got pancakes. Mauri's offers a choice of regular pancakes or pumpkin pancakes (no upcharge), and we chose pumpkin pancakes. For my little guy, we ordered a kids' meal that had one egg scrambled, hash brown, sausage, and wheat toast with a side of butter and jam. We also ordered a Belgian waffle with cinnamon apples and pecans. Additionally, I had a hazelnut iced coffee, and my wife had an iced caramel cappuccino. Overall, the food and beverages were good in taste. We like our dishes. Initially, in my skillet dish, the hash browns were burnt, and the pumpkin pancakes were a bit overcooked. Thus, I requested my dish to be redone. One of the staff members promptly provided the desired response and service, and my new order was ready shortly. After re-cooking, my dish tasted delicious. It was exactly as I wanted it to be. I didn't ask for a redo in the pancakes. They were okay. I also like the Belgian Waffle a lot. The pecans were stuffed in the waffle, which was great, and there were plenty of semi-big pieces of cinnamon apples on the top. My hazelnut iced coffee was refreshingly delicious. I liked the use of flavored ice in my drink. We received good, friendly service (same as in the past). We like coming here occasionally and supporting the local business. Mauri's is a good place to get delicious breakfast/ lunch meal. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't been here before.

I could only taste the green peppers and onions, minimal amount of ham. I picked out the peppers and onions, but it didn't make a difference because they were diced and tiny. The eggs on top were perfect, but I couldn't eat any other part of the skillet. The pancakes were dry even after adding the syrup. On 7/9/26 breakfast was not up to what I've had on past visits.
