Their menu is all about southern home cooking that'll surely fill you up. If it tells you how much my work crew enjoyed it, we went twice in a week. The first time, I went for the breakfast buffet, which had surprisingly lots of options to choose from. The second time, I had the turkey and swiss sandwich done as a wrap with sweet potato fries. Both were very tasty! They also offer a plethora of desserts, but none of the crew had any room left in the tank after everything else, so we didn't get to try any even though they all looked delicious. Maybe next business trip to the area.

This may also have been the cleanest diner I've ever been. I went to Mary B's for a breakfast meeting. I was going to be here for 2-hrs. Once seated I ordered coffee- that coffee never went below 1/2 a cup all 2 hrs. Also- it's not like they were standing around waiting- they were busy!! My server JAN- had a smile from ear to ear the ENTIRE time I was there. She was even smiling when she turned away from tables heading in another direction- she is the type of employee you want to keep forever! Now- why you're really reading this.... THE FOOD. The coffee was good & hot. The menu is filled with plenty of options- I had trouble deciding. JAN helped! I decided on the Denver omelette with hash browns & sourdough toast cooked on the flattop- which made the toast a 10/10! Please take note- I had to take a bite before I took a picture.... The food, service, and Ambiance is 100/10!

Lots of selection, whether hot dogs or burgers, so be ready if the line is rushing through on a lunch break. Apparently the special here is a root beer slush, which my buddy got and was happy with. I ended up getting a burger and hot dog, both were on a toasted bread, which is a little bit unique. Loved that the menu is pretty pickle-forward. Flavors were on-point, the bread could have been a little less-firm, but maybe it's because I took a couple minutes to step to my burger and it firmed up like drier toast. Kind of wished I got the chili dog, but was completely stuffed before the end of the meal, so wasn't able to further gorge. Will be stopping here again when we make a dedicated trip to Parkersburg later in the summer.

Nice find while driving through Parkersburg. Mom and pop vibe with a very friendly staff. Clean dining area.

I recently visited George's Place and ordered three honey wing platters, spending a little over $56 in total. Let me start by saying the food itself was excellent. The honey wings were flavorful, perfectly coated, and cooked just right -- crispy on the outside and tender inside. The portion sizes were solid, and the quality absolutely reflected the price. The rest of the staff I interacted with were friendly, polite, and professional. From placing the order to pickup time, everything initially felt smooth and welcoming. However, there was one interaction during pickup that left me uncomfortable. After I had already paid and returned with my receipt to collect my food, an older associate with blonde hair approached me and told me she believed I had been undercharged. She stated that she overheard my order and thought I had asked for four wing platters instead of three. I calmly showed her my receipt and clarified that I had only ordered three, which was clearly documented on the receipt. Even after that clarification, as I was walking out with my order, she physically felt the outside of my bag to confirm that there were only three platters inside. I understand that businesses need to verify orders and prevent mistakes -- that is completely reasonable. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessary and uncomfortable, especially after I had already shown proof of what I paid for. It gave the impression of suspicion rather than simple verification, and that's not a great feeling as a paying customer. I want to be clear that this review is not about the restaurant as a whole. The food was genuinely great, and every other staff member I encountered was welcoming and professional. This is solely about how that particular situation was handled. As someone who does secret shopping and documents customer service experiences, I do take note of interactions like this. I believe situations involving potential order discrepancies should be handled discreetly and respectfully, ideally before the customer has paid or in a way that doesn't make them feel questioned after the fact. Professionalism and tone matter just as much as accuracy. Overall, I would return because the food quality was strong and the majority of the experience was positive. I simply hope that this feedback reaches the right person and that future interactions are handled with a bit more discretion and courtesy. read more

We visited this restaurant twice and were disappointed both times. The first visit had slow service but decent food. On the second visit, service was again slow, the coffee and food arrived cold, and the bacon was nearly raw, which raised concerns about food safety. The owner also appeared distracted on his phone while one waitress managed everything. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

(Full disclosure- I am not a fan of pasta with just red sauce so I asked my server to leave it off of my plate). It was quite tasty. Each entree comes with a salad. I also inhaled a couple of piece of old school garlic toast. I was offered another serving of the bread and because I wanted to fit into the pants I packed for the trip, I said no. Thanks for the full belly and a stroll down memory lane!

I have to say the service has been impeccable. I will recommend the pretzel bites with beer cheese for munching on at the bar. Stopped in a few nights ago for a beer or two. Ended up getting the bacon chicken wrap to go. I will have to say it was damn good. My wife really likes the buffalo chicken tacos. She has ordered twice in a row. ( that says something ) Also, Amber makes a good Washington Apple (Sprite, Crown Apple & a splash of cranberry). I want to also mention the girl with the long braided hair is a fine bartender also. On 7/6, the bar was full for the USA soccer match. She worked her butt off. She made sure everyone was taken care of. ( she could have used some help) You now have a new customer.
