As always great food, great service and great prices. Came for brunch and even though place was busy, we did not wait long to be seated.

The breakfast was delicious and our waitress was friendly and joked with us. I had the egg's florentine Benedict with homefries which was really good accept the hollandaise wasn't very flavorful. My cousin and dad got the strawberry banana French toast (good but VERY sweet/more fruit than toast) and the biscuits and sausage with gravy. Overall we had a good time accept the AC didn't seem to be on and it was pretty warm in there. Atmosphere is cool with all the Elvis and Beatles posters on the walls! Plus the old 50's memorabilia. Haven't been here in years since today and I'm glad we went back! read more

Good greasy breakfast. Feels like 1966 with the waitresses in poodle skirts! Calorie laden fun!

MaryAnn's is probably the best breakfast spot in the Derry area! The menu is large so there is something for everyone. Personally, my go to is either the pancakes or waffles. They are delicious!! The ambiance is fun inside as it is decorated 50's theme - even the waitresses are dressed up! All of the staff is very friendly and service is quick! read more

Love the diner environment. The pancakes are really good, and so is the service! Definitely would recommend read more

Great vibe. Love the 50's theme. Good food and great portions. For breakfast and lunch as most. Very affordable read more

MaryAnn's is a consistent experience across any of their locations, including the cooking. The coffee is emblematic of "diner coffee", so don't get your hopes up very high-- it will be hot and has caffeine, but will not be a bold-flavored coffee. In fact, Dunkin' may have more boldness. :-) read more

I used to come here all the time when I lived in Derry. It was always amazing. The last time I was here, Yelp and review sites didn't even exist. I was so happy to see it was just as I remembered. The place is very very busy. However, every person moved with a purpose, no one was standing around, the food was great and fast. Suzanne (with 2 N's) made me a killer Bloody Mary, was very polite and attentive. The nostalgic ambiance and many years of found memories may even have caused a tear to fall. I only wish I could give them more than 5 stars! read more

What a great place to have breakfast in Derre! The service was great the vibe and the breakfast was just perfect!

Motto is "A blast from the past" and the interior definitely gives you that feel! Music from the 50's and 60's is played as you look upon neon signs and pictures of Elvis, The Beatles, The Beach Boys And Pink Floyd just to name a few. The tables even have a neat design as advertising sits underneath the glass. A definite lively place. Also check out all the presidential hopefuls as you exit...this is a MAJOR stop in the New Hampshire primary season. Food itself is usually good. At times I wish the serving size could be slightly larger depending on what you order but they have so many to serve here. Price range is good for brunch. I have had some weird family mishaps/moments here and so maybe that affected my rating. It's not entirely on them. Business wise this place is 4 stars. Definitely recommend if in area. read more

In general overrated. There are better options like the the Derry Diner. I get it this is the place to be in Derry (lol if that is a thing) but the breakfast is nothing amazing, just average. Better of taking a trip to Epping to Ryans Place. read more

Would give ZERO stars if I could. Salem location is MUCH better. Ordered takeout. A very simple 2 meal takeout order for breakfast. We were missing the following. -Toast for both orders that came with toast -Side of home fries completely missing -No syrup for an order that had pancakes and French toast and specifically asked for syrup This wouldn't be the end of the world, it happens people make errors, but when calling , the girl on the phone was so rude, I was kind of in shock. She literally said "Uh-Huh" when I mentioned this, as if like, yeah well what do you want me to do? Instead of literally any other customer service response to rectify the situation. Even a simple "I'm sorry that happened" would have sufficed. It's not like I even asked for a refund or something....... Moved to Derry from Salem, and I will be driving the 15 minutes to go to the one in Salem, rather than deal with service like this 2 minutes away from me. read more

Maryann's never disappoints. I LOVE their pancakes and am always excited to go for breakfast. I recently tried their chocolate brownie muffin and it was amazing (get it grilled!). Service is great and I'll always be a loyal customer of maryann's! read more

The waitress had no clue what she was doing and messed up our order as well as the family beside us. She said she could not read her own writing, that it was scribbled. The food was just alright. read more

Great food, friendly service, and reasonable prices! All traits of a solid 4-star Diner. One thing to take note of, its a not on the main strip, you'll have to loop around the block to get there. read more

Was traveling thru and informed by a friend from the area to try this. Yelp said it was good and his suggestion confirmed it. Awesome diner with a 50s theme. Staff was great and food was delicious. From the pics on the walls, it seems this place is frequented by politicians when the caucus happens. All in all...great place!! read more

MaryAnn's Diner - A throwback to yester-years!!! - Diners Near Me - Derry, New Hampshire

Went and had a great breakfast with my friend on Sunday , quickly seated and waited upon . Had the special with all the meats and I opted for just one pancake , could not finish ! Service was so good , polite , fast and so sweet ! Nice kid who gave me hope for the youth of today! Def getting a Bloody Mary next time ! read more

This is a great diner. Typical menu with slant toward breakfast. However my Mom ordered the meatloaf special and it was AWESOME. Homemade with onions and had red bliss mashed potatoes-again homemade. This is homemade style food so if you were expecting gourmet go elsewhere. But if you want eggs/toast/pancakes or a tradition 50s dinner...this is your place. Oh and the prices are great except drinks are pricey ($2.49 for an iced tea) read more

This 50s style super diner is happening! Yes, super service, burger, fries and a shake. If looking for a bit of nostalgia and some classic American food, this is the place! read more

This is the bEst diner!!!! 1) I'm obsessed with diners 2) I'm MaryAnne so we had to stop here. Our server Nancy (Fancy Nancy) was an absolute legend and made the whole experience really fun. Felt like a home away from home. If you're in the area I highly recommend giving this place a try. Also very reasonably priced - we rolled out of the diner on less than $25! Good food, great service, great atmosphere- it's like stepping back into the 50s read more

3.5 stars. I stayed two nites at a nearby hotel and MAD was in walking distance.It is a clean faux diner with 50's kitsch decorations. The food is decent and the prices are moderate. They give you a good serving and the menu has quite a selection.The staff was youngish ,friendly, and accomadating.Both nites were early week and were not that busy. Meatloaf and mash with Cole slaw was good.The gravy was ok, nothing great. The diet coke tasted odd to me and nite 2 I went with water. 3.5 stars actually. The butter was not butter. I had The same meal both nites. Breakfasts that came out looked huge. I think u can get It all day. read more

Haven't been here in a while, but the food was always great. I always get the kitchen sink omelet. The price is great and the waitstaff are always friendly and nice. If you are looking for a good tasting and filling breakfast this is the place to go to. read more

This place never disappoints. I would recommend the Black Raspberry BBQ Steak Tips. This is the type of food you crave and can never get anywhere else. There is normally a wait because it is the greatest breakfast around. They also have lunch food that won't disappoint. read more

MARY ANNS DINER GOING OUT OF BUSINESS (Derry Location) Sad to see this place go downhill. I've been going to this place for 7 years. For a few years I often went 3 times a day. What I often saw was a waitress named Linda rubbing people the wrong way. Then I found out she was at the diner since it opened in 1989. Lately I overheard other waitresses complaining about how she complains about everything and then stands around all the time. I saw this myself. She was rough around the edges and many times I heard her say things to others in a way that made me loose my appetite, but thankfully I have a strong stomach. She smokes a lot, I mean like every 15 minutes, and that may be the reason she's so uptight. The staff has stated that business has been sliding downhill since September. I've also noticed the quality of food isn't the same, my cats won't even eat the leftovers as they used to. There's locations in Windham and Salem that will still be happy to serve you. The only way to keep the Derry location in business would be to fire Linda, if possible, I think she owns part of the restaurant. There's no other reason to keep someone that none of the staff likes. Today was the last straw. I was invited to demonstrate virtual reality in the back room to 4 waitresses for showing how the Birthday parties would go. Two minutes into Chrystal trying it Linda comes back and says "Hey, what are you doing ?, pulls her headset off, get back to work!". I said "what?". Linda says "She's on the clock she doesn't need to be doing this virtual reality stuff". It was so condescending. I had enough, said she was being a "bitch", packed up and called her a "bitch" again as I left. I bowed saying "I'm glad I was strong enough to say it for everyone else". I will never be back unless they fire Linda and pay me $2,000 up front. But since the place is going out of business it doesn't matter anymore. We all looked at Virtual Reality as a way to boost the business. read more

So good! Amazing breakfast and friendly staff. It's also a super cute place to eat. (The decor is adorable). Definitely family friendly. My only complaint is they close too early I would eat breakfast for dinner there if I could! read more

I came to visit my longtime friend and she brought me to have breakfast at Mary Ann's, a 50's type diner. I was told I would regret it if I didn't have the Jack Daniel's Black Raspberry Tips so that's what I ordered ~ oh my ! Sooo good!! The service was top notch as well ~ if you ever come to Derry, NH, you have to visit this cute lil' gem! read more

I absolutely love this diner! The 50's-60's themed restaurant is well done, as all the waitresses wear poodle skirts, the music is of the era, and the decor fits perfectly. I've only ever ordered breakfast here and it's extremely well-priced. I don't think I've ever payed more than $10 for my meal. The breakfasts are very good and well-portioned. I've been many times and will continue to go. read more

Great food friendly service on June 8. Waitress was great and food was served fresh and hot. A woman in our party was here for her first time! At 78 years old she loved the atmosphere music and decor. She said she definitely come back with me. So glad we have a 50s style diner right in town! read more

I came to MaryAnn's pretty excited about a 4 star rating after 40 + reviews, past the level of statistical significance and usually a good indication that something special is going on here. Unfortunately however, not special enough for me to give it anything more than a passing grade at best. I am just downright disappointed. When a business gets 4 stars after that many reviews, the fake ones and family and friends have been pushed to the margins so you generally have a good chance of hitting a real gem. So not the case here, now don't get me wrong, MaryAnn's is perfectly enjoyable with the period decor and 50's kitsch, even the waitresses hairstyles, visually it is great fun but culinary the food is just , well, ordinary. The Build Up: I love diners, diner food and diner ambiance, Diners, IMO, are the most authentically American culinary experience we have after apple pie and the Dollar Menu. Happy Days, Alice, and the use of popcorn tubs to get close to your date have no equivalent outside of the USA. Let me wash down that burger with a shake. So a Yelp 4 star nostalgic throwback in NH had me expecting plenty of home made yumminess covered in lots of gravy and cheese. Could not wait to see what the fuss about, I was hungry and happy to be here! I am not going to trash the place and say how bad i it was, it was not horrible, it was OK, passable, nothing special. Food wise, it was EXACTLY as 2 stars indicate, "Meh. I've experienced better." Here are my beefs... 1. Canned corned beef hash? Why bother, just use Alpo 2. Frozen pre -cooked chicken fried streak, just like a Banquet TV dinner, you can get them at 7-11. 3. Fake ( from a mix) Hollandaise sauce. OK, To be FAIR, I have never had real Hollandaise sauce in a diner anywhere but the long since closed Blue Diner in Boston and Eggs Benedict is not really a diner staple, but it would have justified the 4 star...but mix? I'm sorry Knorr is Knasty! BUT the KISS OF DEATH, watching the waitresses 'marry' old ketchup bottles and fill the old, almost empty Heinz bottles with bulk from a #10 can, and then wipe off the orange smudges to make the bottles look less used. LIFO KETCHUP ACCOUNTING! Ketchup is not like salt, you just don't re-fill the old bottle, ( well, you can, but just THINK about how gross it gets after a few years, never quite making it to the garbage to be replaced with a fresh bottle, just add a bit of new stuff on top of the old, room temperature, unrefrigerated petri dish contents, YUMMY!! Soo MaryAnns is like most of the other diners out there in pretty much all diner aspects, but it is sure not worth 4 stars! That's like getting on the honor role for a B- grade average. read more

You can't go wrong w/ a meal at MaryAnns!! One of my very favorite places to stop in for breakfast! Great service, food and people watching w/ a real diner atmosphere! I've been to Derry and Salem and both are awesome and consistent!! read more

I've been here about a dozen times and have tried enough food to make an informed review at this point. It's really nothing special. The fact that it's one of the only 50's style diners in the area is the hook, but I come for food, not nostalgia. The best thing I've had on the menu is the Black Raspberry steak tips, they are expensive, but worth the money, being cooked perfectly both times I've had them. The eggs are fluffy and the majority of the food isn't greasy like in a lot of diners. Most of what I had is average including the pancakes, waffles and home fries and most of our staple breakfast foods. The lines to get in on the weekends are unbelievable, a lot like Maddie's in Salem, NH and it's just not worth the wait for some place so average. For some reason, they can't do french fries properly. They are always wet and undercooked, even when I ask for them to not be, they will always come out like that. It's a very it is what it is, you get what you get type place that's worth a try on a weekday for breakfast when the lines aren't long if you haven't been there before. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We've been living here for 5 years now and I can't believe it took this long to eat here! The 50s theme is so fun and a nice throwback to when times seemed simpler. The food was yummy, the home fries were crispy just how I like them, and the best part? Breakfast cocktails! The service was good despite being a busy Saturday morning. The only inconsequential complaint was that I asked twice for ice water which never came...so I had sips of my husband's screwdriver. read more

Old fashion diner, generic old fashion photos, with old fashion music music playing in the background - my mother was in love! The girls wearing poodle skirts were a cute touch and though parking could theoretically be a huge pain we managed to snag a spot just out front no problem. We sat quickly, then the vinyl gods of bee bop took over and the service took a cascading decent from 75 rpm - 16 within minutes (I wonder how many young people will get that reference). A hair was the first thing I saw when my food was put in front of me, BLAH! I'm pretty understanding (for the most part) and totally get that stuff happens (I suppose), and because I will never (EVER) send food back with a complaint and I was so stinking hungry I cut off a large enough portion around the hair in question away from my food and prepared myself for a less that satisfactory meal (don't judge me!). So what did I see when I took my next (first) forkful? More flipping hair!! I don't know who they have working in the kitchen (sasquatch, chewbaca, the hairy guy from the Adams Family), but I had a great time thinking about it on the way home unfed and hungry. Never again....ever! read more
