Maria's Café never disappoints! We ordered the Greek Wrap with grilled chicken all perfectly nestled in a warm, toasted wrap. It came with a fresh, hot order of fries that hit the spot. We also tried the Chicken Caesar wrap, loaded with tender grilled chicken and served with another generous side of fries. The food is always cooked to order, served hot, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. You can't beat the quality or the prices. Maria's Café is truly a staple in Stuart! The ambience feels cheerful and welcoming, like walking into a place where everyone already knows you. It has that warm, "Cheers"-style vibe that instantly makes you feel at home, bright, airy and relaxed. read more

I'm being generous with two stars and that's for server and hostess being good. Usually we like this place! What the hell happened! Cheese omelets almost ten bucks, and I'm fine with that but it was flat dry as a fart, and needed magnifying glass to find the cheese! The biscuit was like it wasn't cooked! Grits were fine.. coffee ok, service good. My first try at omlet was horrible so o sent it back next one came out just as bad flat dry maybe teaspoon of cheese. I could have done better and my cooking sucks!! We go out for breakfast frequently to get in our morning walk around Stuart. I asked was this new cook breakfast is usually good and this was awful. She said no and that was it.. my hubby who isn't a complainer said worst omelet ever! I agree ! Just ruined it for me! read more

Not what we were hoping for. It's in a great location and the inside is "diner" atmosphere. The service was good but the food was sub par and very lackluster. Portions were mediocre and the over all taste was poor. Bagel was burnt and home fries were soggy. Couldn't taste the fruit in the crepes due to the overwhelming cinnamon. Sadly, we won't go back. read more

I tried Maria's cafe for dinner tonight and was really impressed. I went out of my comfort zone and had the Liver and onions. It was fantastic! I also had the mashed sweet potatoes and collard greens ( another choice out of my comfort zone and so good)! The prices were great and the portions large. The whole experience was an unexpected treat. We will definitely return! read more

Such nice people, And the food is outstanding!! recommended! Thank you for a very pleasant lunch experience! read more

Nothing special about the lunch we had . The Turkey platter with dressing below average. The stuffing was salty and had an out of the box flavor to it. The green beans were flavorless even though they had onions in the them. The gravy was equally tasteless. If you like instructional food this meal is for yo. The patty melt sandwich was enjoyed by my daughter but was just run of the mill ordinary. The chocolate mouse cake had a bit of an ice box taste to it. Nothing special here. read more

Service was fast considering how busy they were. We like the outdoor seating so we can people watch, outside is also pet friendly. Our meal was very good as always! read more

Visited the down town area, and stopped at Maria's for a quick brunch. This is a diner style restaurant. The place was full of happy customers. Our food came out promptly, hot and as ordered. Service was good. read more

The service was quick. The food was great. I have to give 5 Stars to the bread. I like my eggs with rye bread. The rye I got was the absolute best rye bread I have ever had. The rye flavor was strong but the bread was soft. I got toast with eggs. I love, love the rye bread. The waitress said it was from a bakery near Orlando that does not use preservatives. I wish I could get this bread in the grocery stores. But it's good for only 3 days. That's okay, I'd freeze it until I'd need it. Try the rye bread with eggs or with a sandwich. read more

Maria's is a convenient little restaurant that's open for breakfast & lunch right on Osceola Street in downtown Stuart. They have so many options for breakfast & lunch and the restaurant was recommended to us by our friends who had eaten breakfast there earlier in the day. There is inside dining: counter, booths, and tables, as well as tables outside on a covered patio. My friend and I chose to sit at a booth inside so we could enjoy the AC and still look out the window. It was around noon and the restaurant was not too full on a Friday afternoon. Upon seating we were immediately approached by a bus boy who brought us water. Our waitress came by a few minutes later to take our food orders. (Menus we're already on the table.). There were so many choices and they had a list of specials up on the wall. We both decided to eat light so she ordered a grilled chicken salad and I ordered a Greek chicken salad. The prices were reasonable; $8.95 for the grilled chicken and $9.95 for the Greek salad with chicken. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were a decent size; however both of the salads were just OK. There was really nothing special about either one, but nothing was really wrong with them either. Maria's is very convenient if you are shopping on Osceola Street, or work in the area. I think next time I would try a hot meal, maybe something on their specials menu, or breakfast. They do have lots of choices for reasonably priced food and pretty quick service. read more

Maria's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stuart, Florida

This was a surprising choice. The restaurant itself is nice. It is on the Main Street and overall a good place to sit. The service was a little crappy, the coffee was ordinary at best, and the food was okay. As a touristy place on the weekend of Florida's biggest boat show, it was a bit disappointing. It wasn't busy, but it was disappointing Nono the less. Perhaps it might be better next time, although given the competition, I sincerely doubt we will head back there. read more

This is one of our breakfast spots in rotation. We sit at the bar so service and quick and helpful. Food is consistent. I typically get some sort of veggie omelet and we do like their biscuits read more

This was our first experience here. I actually asked my daughter who had driven from Tallahassee (she's an FSU grad) to Ft. Laud to stop to purchase food and bring to me as I was stuck at a medical center in the area and hadn't had time to eat before my appointment where I'd be for hrs. While the service seemed okay and I don't have complaints about the pancakes, eggs, & turkey sausage meal ordered for me, my daughter and her friend had to experience being profiled as other restaurant patrons (white females) jeered them after staring when they walked in laughing and stating that they have a bonnet that comes down to their shoulders and too bad they didn't wear it today (neither my daughter or her friend wore a bonnet, but instead tied in bow scarves around the front of their styles during the long drive they were doing). Needless to say, this was disheartening to here and, tho I was suggested this place by another patient who had also just picked up breakfast this morning, I felt completely disappointed, wishing I had never sent my daughter here to experience this. It was not fair to them. Their reaction was simply to look at the grown white women making these racist comments and taking the higher road by looking away. It continued still and I can't even remember some of the ignorant remarks, but I decided to share this because it makes me wonder why these seemingly "regulars" feel so comfortable to harrass other patrons of a different look from there's without being provoked in any way. It makes me wonder if this type of culture/environment is condoned and/welcomed by owners or some of the staff here. Even if not, this was our first experience . I am a person who likes to support local or family owned business regardless of race of who owns, but living in Stuart for just a few yrs now, this was discouraging. My daughter is 25 and not a fighter or instigator, so much so that she cried as a little girl on sparring day when her dad made her take classes so she knows how to defend herself. Her friend is 21.....and this hate came from grown women who looked to be in their 30's. read more

I've eaten here twice and have no urge to return. First time was breakfast on a weekend in a large group. Food was ok, restaurant was busy but service was fine. Went back for an early lunch and both food and service left much to be desired. Was served the strangest salad I've ever had in my life - the kind where you eat around all the stuff you don't want - like a stack of sliced canned beets (seriously, like half a can) and a pile of fruit cocktail in sweet syrup (gross - where is Gordon Ramsey when you need him). Restaurant was not busy, but only saw our waitress when she took our food order, dropped off our food without a word, and dropped off our check (also without a word). Never came by to see if our food was in fact edible, never said thank you when dropping off the check. No smile from her or even the owner when we walked in...'ugh, are you here to spend money and eat our food? great.' Too bad - their burgers look good but I can find a burger anywhere. No need to go back. read more

Wonderful breakfast! A little pricey but it was delicious and plentiful. Love the access to the outdoors! Waiter was very very nice.

Lots of tasty food for one person. Ask about the specials. Decent parking. Friendly service.

This place is fantastic. Food was excellent, and the service was way above and beyond.... friendly and efficient. A quality that is not found in many other places. I accidentally left my credit card on the table, and realized it a couple of days later. I called Maria's, they had it, and it arrived at my home in the mail 2 days later !!! I am a lifelong happy customer. thank you. read more

Maria's was open and inviting. They had a long list on two boards of the daily specials. The staff were all very friendly. Clean, including restroom. The food was hot and fresh, but I heard the waitstaff tell the next table they were out of biscuits. It was fairly early on a Monday morning to be out. However, they had enough to serve us our Country Benedicts. I was asked when ordering if I wanted soft, medium or hard poached eggs. I got a bunch of slime when I ordered soft. Like undercooked. I scraped that to the side and ate the biscuit and gravy and the home fries. Very tasty. I just wished they offered Mimosa or Bloody Mary's read more

I love everything about this place. The food is just as consistent as the friendly wait staff. In the heart of downtown, it is perfect for a bloody mary or a mimosa with brunch. I have never had a bad meal or a bad experience. I highly recommend always looking at the specials board. It is a great casual and comfortable place to eat and be. Love! read more

Maria's Café is by far our favorite downtown restaurant in Stuart for breakfast and lunch! We often go 2 to 3 times a week, and sometimes more often, taking family or friends. Maria's offers a full menu and the daily specials are always well received by patrons. Homemade soups are simply delicious and we often order some to take home to be enjoyed later. Family owned and operated, Andrea and her staff are exceptional! From the moment you open the door, and are warmly welcomed, you know you're in great hands! it only takes a few visits, and you'll be welcomed by first name! Maria's Cafe has it all... great food, great staff, and a welcoming ambience to top it off! Ron and Barbara Bush read more

This is a diner style cafe. I have only eaten here for breakfast. Weekends can get busy as most area restaurants do on the weekends. Indoor and small outdoor seating areas.

Service is quick but sometimes the staff is a little rude or seems off putting but I would return without hesitation just it isn't my favorite downtown Stuart experience. read more
