    Corned beef hash omelette
    Kenny D.

    I was excited to finally get to Marie's following all the rave reviews I heard from people and read on Yelp. Ultimately, for me it was a mixed bag. The service was very good. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and in true diner lore I observed them being even more engaging with the regulars. I ordered a corned beef hash omelette and grits. The grits were solid but I was less impressed with the omelette. While I appreciated the significant bang for your buck with a huge omelette worth twice the sticker price on the menu, the meat was perhaps too plentiful and overpowered the eggs - making the dish less balanced than I prefer. The eggs also lacked the "real eggs" consistency and taste I love. It was ok, but when I cannot finish a dish that says a lot - I have a huge appetite after all! I am, however, glad my table mate said they have delicious cakes. When you first walk in there is a display of many wonderful looking cakes, and they do taste as good as they look. I tried a slice of chocolate and a slice of blueberry lemon. They were both succulent delights, making it a darn near certainly that I'll be back to the diner even if only to buy more cake!

    Side of 2 eggs and scrapple

    First time here and definitely won't be our last! We came during the snow storm and called ahead to make sure they were open. Their lot was cleared of the snow and ice, but they were packed with people! We walked into a warm restaurant with lots of smells hitting our noses. We glanced to our right and found a whole case of desserts which looked so appetizing. We got seated almost instantly and had a great waitress named Kim. She knew the 6 paged menu like the back of her hand. We took advantage of some of her favorites, and they didnt disappoint! I ordered the iconic sausage gravy and biscuits. The gravy was definitely homemade and poured generously over the top of the freshly made biscuits. I also got 2 eggs and some scrapple. Kevin had the chicken fried biscuit pictured on the menu and subbed loaded brunch potatoes for his side. The portions for everything were way larger than expected and caused us to have leftovers. We will definitely be back soon! Jake n kev

    We were greeted by our server and immediately seated. The place was actually more crowded than we thought it would be on a weekday evening. Ordered two fried chicken dinners. Each came with two sides plus a side salad and a biscuit, for 10.99. The food was average, but considering price and the amount of food, a great value. Not super fancy, definitely a no frills place. But if you're on a budget and super hungry this is definitely the place for you. Weekends during brunch hours are typically packed, so maybe try a week day for a shorter wait time. Oh, and how can I forget...the cakes. For the price point, serving size, and taste, these cakes are definitely worth trying. Whether they're home made or not is up to you to decide, but for cheap eats....no complaints here!!

    This charming, family-run spot may be small, but it delivers big on flavor and hospitality. The food is consistently excellent, and the customer service is top-notch. The biscuits are absolutely incredible, and the steak is cooked exactly to your preference--mine was medium, and it was perfect. Be sure to try a mimosa; they're delicious and come in a variety of flavors. Arriving early is a good idea, as there can be a wait, but trust me--it's well worth i

    Greeted with a very friendly smile and atmosphere. Thank you Eddie! Employees looked like they should all be exhausted, working so very hard. Extremely valuable, and varied menu. Something for everyone! No matter what you're looking for they have a homemade meal for you that feels touched with the loving values of a soul to please the pallet. Erica our waitress was a constant blur of business. There is a wait to be seated for a reason!

    This place never disappoints. The food is delicious, portions are beyond generous and the prices can't be beat! We purposely take a longer route when traveling through to make sure we grab a delicious meal no matter the time of day!

    1 Pancake
    Genie F.

    Visited for the first time and LOVED IT!!! The service was great, and the food was magically delicious! The Crab and Shrimp Omelet with home fries was the meal I didn't know I needed. The Omelet was meaty with large shrimp and real lump crab (some shells included)lol. Oh, and the Cover the Plate Buttermilk Pancake that did just that while buttery and fluffy. They even offer early morning mimosa's to wash it all down without any judgement. The portions are big, the prices are reasonable, the food and service from Summer the server was great. While I don't frequent La Plata, I most definitely will now. If you're ever looking for a guaranteed great meal, good prices and service - STOP BY!

    4.2 stars on Yelp, I'm excited!

There are also plenty of specialty food items that you can purchase as well as alcohol.

We were seated almost immediately there wasn't many people in the diner. I had to use the bathroom so I walked in there and didn't smell very good. First bad sign. I walked in used the bathroom went to wash my hands, and one of the towel dispensers wasn't working at all the light didn't turn on. The other one worked but the towels were just placed on top of it. No one bothered to refill it. The toilet paper dispenser was also really close to the ground, and I saw a lot of elderly people in there which made me wonder why it was so close to the ground? Not everyone can reach that low. It was also the handicapped stall that had this in it. I am almost fell off the seat. It also didn't feel super clean. I went back to the table and order an egg sandwich on a bagel with Canadian bacon with a side of hash. My dad ordered some scrambled eggs, potato's and sausage. My sandwich didn't have any flavor I had to put pepper and salt on it for it to taste ok and I didn't eat the other half of the bagel it just wasn't satisfying. The hash on the other hand was really tasty. My dad said his egg and sausage was ok nothing great. He said the potato's were kind of gross and I have never seen my dad not eat everything on a plate before plus he is a pretty fantastic cook and has worked in many kitchens and said this food wasn't good. Personally I would have just kept driving if I knew what this food was like. When we were about to leave the waiter had noticed I didn't finish my food and he shook his head at me which threw me off. Very strange.
