Mario's
Renay R.

Mario's, which I have passed this place several times because i was wary of this place I do not like a bad doughnut nor do I need one. However, my son was like mom can I have a doughnut for the weekend? So I finally landed here. I was quickly greeted and asked, " How may I help you"? I informed him it was my first time so I needed a minute and then I was given a sample, which sold me. I ordered Coffee and a few doughnuts for us. Let me start off by saying Mario coffee is Good and smooth....If you know, you know.. As I got my coffee I noticed how clean the place was which is. great thing. So I tasted a cake doughnut and glaze these doughnuts were just right for me. The kind of doughnut that is fresh and not too sweet, which sometimes can take away from the experience. but it was not greasy nor too sweet. i was like if i can enjoy my coffee and doughnut together without feeling guilty then this is a winner in my book. Please note if you use a card it's a small fee vs cash.

Located in a strip center off Mexico/ Muegge roads it's definitely worth the visit. Delicious aroma greets you upon entering as does2 large cases filled with donuts , cannolis and other varieties of desserts. They have breakfast and lunch menu and offer table service in a nice clean well lit and nicely decorated dining area as well as carry out The donuts are light and so delicious and making a choice was difficult, next time I'll try a lunch choice and update on that.

My visit to Mario's was a refreshing one. I was feeling some quick breakfast, but didn't want to go to a fast food chain and decided to try a small family owned business Mario's. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff, and surprised how fast the service was with how busy the restaurant was. The dining room is large and open, and they even have a relaxing area for families with games and entertainment items. Mario's has quite a large menu for breakfast and lunch, which made it easy to find something I'd like. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese texas toast, a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, a ham, egg, and cheese bagel, an order of fries, and a glazed donut to go. The texas toast, croissant, and bagel were hot, delicious, and satisfied my itch for a good breakfast. The fries were perfect, they added a nice crispy and batter fried deliciousness to the meal, and the glazed donut made for a wonderful fluffy dessert to go with my breakfast. I highly recommend visiting Mario's if you're looking for some breakfast and want to support a small family owned business.

I wanted to try another new spot today and it was definitely the right choice! Mario's has good reviews and looks to be steady for breakfast and lunch so I figured I was missing out on something. Was I right, the Pita and hummus were some of the best I've ever had, it was so fresh and full of flavor, I wanted to go back and order more lol. I got Mario's gyro and it's not like other gyro plates, they make sure you're loaded up. Pickup was quick and easy and it was ready in 15 minutes, that's really awesome. Looking forward to trying their large breakfast menu and even their delicious looking doughnuts.

The blueberry cake was okay, I've had better. I like the original glazed and cinnamon twist. They aren't too sweet and soft.

Biscuits and gravy

I've been eating at Mario donuts off and on for about 15 years. The food has always been good. The donuts are good as well. I stopped by today and learn they have new ownership. I got to meet the owner and they were extremely friendly and the biscuits and gravy were delicious. They have new decorations. It really looks cool. Again, I can highly recommend Mario's donuts. In fact, I bumped my stars to five.

Gyro & Fries
Michelle L.

My favorite sandwich is a gyro. I heard that Mario's serves a good one so I stopped by for a late lunch on a random Tuesday. I ordered the gyro and fries. The gyro was made of a presliced gyro meat that was the thickest I have ever seen. It was almost sausage like. I've eaten the thin strips from Restaurant Depot more times than I'd like to admit and this was not that. It also wasn't freshly sliced off a gyro cone. If I had known this I would not have gone. It was greasy enough that the pita did not hold up. The French Fries were your basic bagged food service fry with no extra seasoning. It was a sad meal. I abandoned ship after about 5 bites here. I can't speak for any of their other food since I have not had it.

Great menu selection with excellent pricing. We arrived shortly before closing on a Sunday and placed a large order to go. Understandably a bit of a wait, but well worth the time. Everything is prepared fresh and delicious. We added an assortment of donuts and baklava to our meal choices, which everyone loved. My daughter especially enjoyed the coffee flavored donut, and the Baklava...oh my goodness, incredible! Attractive decor & super clean establishment. Will definitely return.

This is what we got they don't look like old fashion's And they were so dry you couldn't eat them.

Anthonino's was the culinary highlight of our trip to St Louis. Located well-outside of Downtown,…read moreit is located in a largely residential neighborhood. We had 6pm reservations and were seated on time but people without reservations faced a 2 hour wait. Make reservations! Upon entering, there is a hostess stand and small bar with seating extending to the back of the building. We had the first table so I can't comment on the full size. My son ordered a Bloody Mary and I had a Pinot Noir while we looked at menu. Bloody Mary was very good and the wine was pleasant. We started with Garlic Bread with Cheese. It was the only menu item I would not order again. Flavors did not come together. I ate my fair share so it was good. Just not great. We then shared a cheese pizza with provel. Elite crust and sauce! The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful. House made pasta was excellent and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. (Anthonino's really does sauces well!) I finished with tiramisu and I am so glad I did! Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Heck yeah! I think I will be wanting it every day for a long time to come! All of the staff were welcoming and friendly, while remaining efficient. Nice group of people. I would love to be a regular here.

The atmosphere is lovely, and the smell of fresh food as you walk in instantly sets the mood (just give yourself a few extra minutes for street parking). Our server, Cherish, was outstanding--warm, fast, and attentive. ​Everyone loved their meal, the food arrived quickly, and the toasted raviolis are an absolute must-try. Wonderful experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be returning!

There wasn't as much to choose from as I expected, but we both found something that we liked. The ambiance is not very warm. It's similar to a typical Chinese fast-food restaurant, with cheap tables and chairs that are pretty close. There are a lot of missed opportunities here to improve the ambiance and feel. What gave me a bad impression immediately was the sticky floor in front of the counters. It gives an unclean impression. To the right of the counter, against the wall, was a machine that looked like it had a large piece of meat hanging in it. Maybe they strip pieces off as needed - I am not sure, but from a customer-facing position, it looks rather odd and unappealing. Our table was extremely wobbly. The food was just OK. We laughed at the "meat locker" and discussed the establishment overall. We agreed that we were glad to have tried it, but will not be back.
