    Baked penne
    Stefan H.

    Ordered catering for 12 people. First time, and it won't be the last! Grilled chicken and veggies was a big hit! Eggplant parmesan was well prepared and tasty, as was the baked penne. Also ordered a mixed green salad that was very fresh. Lots of items to choose from for my next order.

    Takeout and delivery have come in clutch while we've been staying mostly sequestered for the past year, and though I love my local favorites oh-so-much it was such a delight to stumble upon this new-to-me spot for a week day lunch delivery via Uber Eats. I went with the Rustic Chicken Panini, which was just my style - grilled chicken, artichokes, olive tapenade, and provolone. When choosing fry style, hand cut are not a fave - but THESE hand cut fries were different. The right crispness and perfect salty/fried balance. Would order again. And again. And again. Good thing they are served with all the lunch sammies...the deliciousness of this lunch has me wanting to try other sandwiches stat! This Rustic Chicken was super-delicious, perfectly portioned and well-priced at only $8.95. Speaking of a great price and being super-tasty, the $3 Chocolate Chip Bar addition was the right choice. It was large and rich, a great mid-afternoon snack that also became an after dinner treat split for two - the thickness and richness of the treat makes it rank high on the 'only need a little bit to be satisfied' scale. The meal arrived well packaged [with encouraging recycling messaging on the liner of the cardboard to go box] and was the right temperature for immediate enjoyment. Maria's Café & Catering has a website where you can find other info about special menus and offerings. I was especially interested to learn of the weekly/monthly lunch plans and to go/catering options, like take-and-bake pot pie and that tasty homemade olive tapenade. I hope that I can visit for an in-person meal once things are at bay, too. Maria's seems like a nice downtown lunch or treat spot, maybe a replacement location for my usual trips to [already-missing-it] Puzzles Bakery and Café. I will definitely be ordering from Maria's again, and have my eyes on brunch next! [followed with Lemon Curd Fried Dough - served with blueberries and fresh whipped cream, please and thank you.]

    I am never disappointed when I order from here. The food is fresh! If you like fresh cut fries, this is the place to go to ! They have the perfect crunch and never greasy. I have ordered multiple sandwiches and have never been disappointed. I'm a little obsessed with their fried dough with banana and peanut butter, don't knock it until you try it.

    Tonight I ordered the Honey BBQ Chicken Tender sub and was blown away. This is actually my 4th time ordering from Maria's Cafe and she hasn't let me down yet. The sub was fresh with all well made indigents. The bun was toasted, the chicken was sweet and had a crunchy breaded crust. In all honesty, the phrase "chicken tenders" may be an attractive draw, but this level of quality is well beyond the packaged food of the same name. Even the side of fries was beautifully made with real cut potatoes. The previous week I picked up Maria's Meatloaf dinner for four. Again, the ingredients were fresh and delicious, the meatloaf was one of the best we've ever tried -- moist and flavorful, and it came with creamy mashed potatoes, fresh sauteed green beans, and four side salads, for about $30 after taxes. IMPRESSED!!!

    Had breakfast here today. Would give it 5 stars but we prefer table service. You order at counter. The food was very good and served hot. I had an egg white omelet with spinach and mushrooms. Delicious. The Grits were good and the bacon was crisp. Husband had a wrap which he liked. The home fries were excellent. Negative for those eating in: Coffee was served in take out Paper cups --$3.25 for a large, $2.50 for a regular size. Husband asked for a refill which was given. Many people came into the Cafe for take out orders. There were 6 others eating in at 9:30 am. I overheard someone ask for lunch items, and they were cheerfully accepted. The photos show the eclectic, cool touches to the place.

    Delivery blackened Cajun sandwich
    Kelly O.

    We've ordered take out from here a few times on Friday nights, which is the only day they're open late. The food is really good - it seems fresh and is tasty. My favorite item so far has been the blackened cajun sandwich. It is a little spicy though, although I am a bit of a baby when it comes to spice. The fries are really good, too. I think they're fresh cut, but don't quote me on that. My husband loves the poutine. We also love the mac and cheese and the size/price is very fair/generous. However, I must admit, it's really rich so it can be pretty heavy. You'd definitely want to share it with someone if you get it. We did have an issue once because of GrubHub one night with our delivery. That was definitely on them and the cafe's response was appropriate and appreciated, so it doesn't change how I feel about the cafe or ordering from them. It's just something to keep in mind, should something go wrong, that Maria's will resolve the issue and to not hold it against them.

    Double Cheese burger with Fresh Cut French Fries
    Damond H.

    Writing this review with ambivalence because I would love to keep it all to myself! I first came across Maria's at the Schenectady Green Market on Sunday's and was pleasantly surprised when I found out they now have a brick and mortar right on Union St. I've been there over a dozen times since they opened, and have treated many of my friends and colleagues to breakfast and lunch there. Everyone loves it! Each meal has the taste of a homemade dish made from scratch, and if you follow them on facebook you'll get to see their daily specials, which often draws me in. Meatball subs, fresh salads, and their mac n cheese are some of my favorites. On one of my most recent stops I enjoyed a delicious double cheeseburger which was cooked to perfection and served with delicious homemade french fries. Wash it down with an infused water and it was the perfect lunch. I will note, they do offer take home dinners if you want to skip out on that responsibility one night!
