Place was clean, the service was excellent and very friendly, albeit slow as it wasn't very busy on this off season week. The friendly service is what upped the stars. Ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and a toasted everything with butter, and an iced coffee. Husband said coffee was good. We waited 25 min for something that should've taken less than 5. When it came out the everything wasn't toasted but we also didn't want to wait any longer. The bagels were definitely not boiled, and tasted like a piece of bread, not at all like a bagel. The size was ok, but for what we paid, just not worth it. I will stick to my rule of only eating bagels in NJ or north.

Did the food live up to the hype? No. Sadly, our visit to Maria's was not the visit we had hoped…read morefor. Our server was... well, I'm not sure how to put it, let's just say he didn't seem to be present at work that day, but we roll with punches around here, and we ordered our food. I absolutely loved the teriyaki wings. They were cooked perfectly. The sauce was great, and my only critique would be the blue cheese, which was not the same quality as the wings themselves. The bread service was terrible. I am not exactly sure what kind of bread that was supposed to be, but it was improperly cooked and tasted very bitter. We were able to jazz it up with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar that was left on the table. I ordered the margarita pizza and was excited because of all the buzz around the pizza at Maria's. It was fine. It just wasn't the quality of pizza I was looking for. The sauce was fresh and had a great tomato flavor, but lacked any sort of spice of any kind. The crust was decent. It was probably the best part of the pizza. That cheese was a good flavor, but one bite and the whole cheese was coming off with the pizza into your mouth. The tomatoes were cut a little too thick so they didn't get quite cooked well enough on top of the pie. My friends marsala also lacked in flavor. The sauce was missing that delicious wine element and it was kind of on the bitter side. It wants to be marsala, but it's not. I have to give extra credits to the manager who came around and talked to us and took our critiques seriously. One thing we did forget to mention was that their booths are like sitting on the gym bleachers in high school and for any extended period of time they can become increasingly uncomfortable. I could see maybe how some people enjoyed Maria's, it just wasn't for us, so keep an open mind. Maybe Maria's is for you and maybe it's not but you have to give them a try to find out.
