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.

The deviled eggs lured me in! As you can probably already guess, I had them as an appetizer, and…read morethey were delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the walleye with Brussels sprouts and corn. This was actually my first time hearing of and trying walleye, and I have to be honest--the taste just wasn't for me. It had an off-putting flavor that I couldn't stomach, and paired with the bones, I was done. Let me be clear though, this wasn't a chef mistake or an issue with how the fish was prepared. I simply didn't like the taste. The dish itself looked amazing. When our waitress noticed I had only eaten a small piece of the fish, she asked if I'd like to try something else. I decided to go with a burger instead, and it was pretty decent. No complaints there. Overall, I'd definitely go back for more of those deviled eggs and to try some other items on the menu. Nice ambiance, friendly staff, and great customer service. Definitely worth another visit.

We sat at the bar and had a couple of beers and ordered the kettle chips and dip. The beers were good and cold. The chips were not good at all. They were gold and not made fresh.

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

They offer a beautiful pastry case full of delicious homemade treats. I grabbed a cinnamon roll because they were flying out of the case while I waited! The roll was tender and full of delicious cinnamon sugar topped with a cream cheese frosting. They offer a generous breakfast menu of sandwiches, breakfast plates, and omelettes. Again, I prefer savory to sweet and decided on a chicken salad sandwich. The croissant was nice and flaky and crispy. The chicken salad was well seasoned and paired perfectly with a juicy tomato slice and iceberg lettuce. MeMe's does offer a variety of hot and iced coffee. The milk selections are limited. I also found the coffee to be too sweet for my tastes. I'll have them add a lot less sweetener next time. Prefer hot coffee? They offer a small bar of sweeteners and flavored creamer to customize your coffee. All in all a delightful experience. The food and service are great.

They had a ton of pastries fall themed and while they all looked quite appealing, I went for a simple blueberry scone. This was a hard decision because I was definitely eyeing that key lime pie, but then I remembered it's 9:00 in the morning and I better settle down. The scone set me back $6.80, which I think is more than fair considering its size. Everything in there is huge, especially the brownies, but you'll def get your moneys worth. When I paid, they handed me a box and I went on my way. On my way to the car I was thinking it was rather heavy for a scone, but of course when once I pulled off and started driving, I opened the box and discovered I was given the wrong order! I had to turn around and go back and once I got inside, they had it ready for me. Biting into it was like heaven. I wished it were a tad bit warmer, but it was still good. I love pastries that use fresh ingredients and you can def tell they do at this bakery. The blueberries oozed with each bite and really complemented the other flavors associated with the scone. I suggest taking your time to savor each bite and because it's huge, so you'll get full quickly. I def made the right choice and despite the order mix up, I'd certainly visit again.

I'm totally obsessed with Pink Willow and I SOOO wish I lived closer, I'd totally be a regular…read more I've seen this spot on Instagram a ton, and when I had a meeting with someone who lived close, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to check it out. The space itself is so cute, it's very intentional and aesthetic. The pink stripes, ceiling clouds, plant paintings on the wall make it so unique. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I ordered a Garden Muse salad and it was delicious. I'm really simple and when it comes to salads, as long as the ingredients are fresh I'm happy. This hit the nail on the head. I added chicken and that made it super filling. The dressing wasn't sweet (which I prefer) and it's safe to say this is one of my new favorite salads :) I also ordered one of the latte specials which was a birthday cake latte. They were accommodating with my order of half sweet, and it was so good! I can't wait to come back for brunch! I'm already looking forward to it.

If there was an order counter for the outside and a host at the front, maybe a lot of issues with walk-ins could be eliminated. Because we were not familiar with this restaurant and literally came here on a whim, we had to order take out. It didn't take too long for our order to come out, maybe 20 minutes. The service here is okay, and I don't know if the nature of it being busy takes away from the service or the team that day was just over it! Our food was pretty good, but if you get the chance to eat there, it would be better straight from the kitchen! The cinnamon roll and fried egg sandwich were probably the best items. I think their latte was pretty good which had a lovely cold foam and strawberry! Definitely, if you have time to spare and want a very specific experience, try this space! Just be ready to wait a while!
