Love Mary Ann's Diner!! They're always consistent and I love their 50 style vibes and ambience. The service is always on point and the parking lot is always filled lol. Which is a good thing and a bad thing when the weather is super cold. Let's talk about the food now... I always get the sausage benedict. Love the biscuits and gravy sauce with the patties on top. It's always good and the menu is very extensive. If you're around Salem NH area, be sure to give them a try.

Food was good. Tough to get great biscuits and gravy up here as it's all usually canned biscuits and canned gravy. Our server was solid. Checked in but wasn't bothersome at all. Good dude. What can I say, we all know the decor but at least this time there wasn't actual on the bathroom walls. It's nice because it's close and they're on Fetch Rewards, otherwise I'd go a bit north to Maddie's

California omelette w/ white toast & home fries
Victoria C.

A very busy diner in Salem close by other shops and restaurants, but has its own parking lot. We should've joined the wait-list before we got there because it was about a 30 min wait for us to get a table. This diner has a very retro old style with lots of decor and oldies music playing. It was busy coming towards the end of lunch rush, but we got a booth and were able to order quickly. I decided on the California omelette with white toast and a small strawberry milk. The strawberry milk was the artificial syrup taste making is pretty sweet. The omelette was good, the chunks of avocado were a bit big for the omelette, but the mushrooms and cheese worked together great. The home fries were a bit disappointing since they were not evenly cooked. Some were hard, while others were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The tables all have advertisements of local shops and businesses which is such a great way to get your place promoted. Our server was great and it was a nice pit stop to grab a bite to eat in Salem. There was also a local girl scout troop selling cookies, which was an added bonus to our trip. Overall, a decent diner, but I wouldn't wait long for a table again.

After a hike up Mt. Washington, we needed something to cure our legs. Here is it; Jack- got an omelette: I left the treacherous and deceitful Cumberland Farmington to procure a table for my compatriots. This resulted in me entering the establishment and standing in front of the 'wait to be seated sign' that was also a seat yourself sign. I stood and made awkward eye contact with every patriot merchandise wearing employee that walked by: this lasted the next 5 minutes while nobody seated me. Once seated the service was swift and omelettes delectable. I purchased a western that wasn't actually a western and started a bread race war. All was devoured but the home fries were somewhat lacking. We perfected our dine n dash strategy by consuming our food, paying for it, then leaving for final destination. Charlie- got the "kitchen sink" omelette: So we went to Cumberland farms and if if I spent no ... so I went to Cumberland farms and I went inside to ask to park, I told them I spend 69 shmeckles, they said no, I told them I spent 60 dollars on gas, they said no. So I went to the devious parking lot under the parking lot at the final destination. Incredible service: someone was waiting at our table before we got there. The "kitchen sink" was yummy. This is the least helpful yelp review ever. I had a fun time waiting for the waiter to tell them that we indeed were not going to throw money on the table. That's it 5 stars. Mike - Got the "Gronkowski Special" omelette: Ah dude, I'm driving my truck against some greenery, tell me when ur ready. Ok. Gasp. Mount Washington ... formidable opponent, devious rock cluster; challenged us to a 12 hour no eating challenge impossible. Little did it know, Mary Ann's diner had us covered, insert omelette. The omlette tasted good. I ordered the super gronkowski special and pleasured my mouth how do you spell kielbasa and mushrooms. My only big frowny face was the hash browns, they were downright unethical except for the parts where they weren't, this is real by the way. I have one problem Zeke - got the "I don't know the name it was corned beef and hash" omelette: The omlette was like ugh omlette, the omlette could be better compared to the omlette. When you flip the omlette then ur like whaoooo. Yo, the omlette was like an omelette, it was the best part of the omlette. This is what most of my book reports look like in school. I was thinking about epic things. Personally I think the omlette is final, destination. yeah that's it.

eggs benedict

This place is very popular and is constantly packed! It is obviously a local favorite. My wife and I dined her on a Saturday late morning and there was a 15m wait for the two of us. They have a neat Yelp labeled tablet up front for you to put your name on the waiting list. However, the 2 people that came AFTER us who also used the tablet to book a table was seated before us! WTF! I called it out and the lady said "It's because they chose a table option". I said "We chose first available"...shouldn't that include a table option if it opens first? Based on some of the observations while I was seated right next to the check-in booth, I believe there is either favortism or just some really messed up handling. We were seated a couple of minutes later in a booth. The booth was dirty and I had to wipe something off myself after some tissue was put on the table. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. They have a lot of decor that and old style booths to bring out the retro 50's vibes. The menu is a single large placard with content on both sides. It is a pretty good selection of breakfast platters and burgers and more. Breakfast is what is popular here. Our food: Country fried steak - I asked for the free tater tots substitution and paid $1 for to replace toast with corn muffin. I could not upgrade toast to french toast they said. The steak was fried nicely but a bit on the small side (compared to the Ihop version). The gravy is nice but lacked flavor (there are loads of condiments on the table, though). The tots were perfectly fried and crisp. I got my eggs scrambled and they were fine. The corn muffin was excellent - slightly toasted and it came with a good amount of butter on the side. Eggs Benedict - Wife had this and she liked it. The eggs were poached well and the yoke oozed out very nicely. She enjoyed her home fries that it came with. Our waters came with lemon but many others didn't. Others got straws but we didn't. More inconsistencies? There is plenty of parking outside and this restaurant is right outside of the Rockingham Mall, right off the 93 highway. Pricing is very reasonable, with good portion sizes (save for my steak). I would recommend this place, especially to those who wants a decent breakfast without breaking the bank. Very casual and comfy place. They need to fix the ladies room bathroom door - it slams HARD every single time.

The food so delicious!! The service is always good. I've been here several times I live in Michigan and every time I come to visit my daughter we always come here. It's one of my favorite places and the atmosphere always makes you feel like you're welcome here. I forgot to take a picture of my food. I was so excited to see my grandbaby and he was excited also to get his food here. It's one of everybody's favorite places to eat. You won't be disappointed. Everything I've ever had. Here is delicious.

Had a great experience here! I was concerned about the possibility of a wait because this place is…read moreso popular (especially on a Sunday), but they have online call-ahead seating, so we didn't wait at all. A couple of us had the banana nut French toast, two had the chocolate chip pancakes, and one had the Baja Grill. All the food was fantastic! Just really fresh and very tasty. I also splurged on the Grand Mimosa and it was really good. Very friendly service. We will definitely be back!

We visited Ellie's for breakfast recently after a recommendation. Sad to report it was not good…read more We were immediately served some apple slices dusted in cinnamon sugar. Nice unexpected start. My wife and I both ordered Eggs Benedicts, my wife with ham, mine with their own corned beef hash. This is where things took a downward swing. First, both dishes came out without Hollandaise sauce. We pointed this out to our server who apologized and immediately took both back. When they came back out the Holladaise looked broken. We decided to accept them as opposed to sending them back again, and the taste was off, with a slight sour hint. I mentioned this to the owner/chef who checked on us and he was surprised and told us he would check the sauce. We never saw or heard from him again. The corned beef hash was shredded corned beef mixed with hash brown potatoes, with the potatoes dominating. It lacked flavor. One of my eggs was over cooked, with a hard yolk. The accompanying homefries were nice, maybe the highlight of the meal. On the plus side, our server, who told us up front she was new, was very good. We may give it another try as maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen.

We arrived early, without a reservation. We were seated quickly and the hostess was very friendly…read moreand welcoming. Our servers were polite,efficient and pleasant. We were asked if we were celebrating anything special. When we said it was our anniversary they were so kind. The Tuna Poke appetizer was absolutely delightful! Smooth and fresh. The pear and cheese salad was sweet and crunchy with fresh arugula and a light dressing. Husband went for the seafood combo. It was cooked to perfection with crunchy and buttery toppings. I ordered the pork belly tacos from the summer menu. The perfect amount of pork belly, fresh corn and bit of spice. The sweet potato fries were OK, but not warm upon arrival. Literally that was the only issue we had. The waiter comped the dessert as an anniversary gift. The butter cake is a flavor packed party in your mouth. Lemon curd, fresh strawberries and a spectacular crunchy and soft cake topped with vanilla ice cream. This was a 10/10!!

We all took home the remainders of our food because the serving sizes are generous. The kitchen produces food that just tastes so good. Every bite. And just as tasty reheated the next day.

The Dubai chocolate crème brûlée was just delicious.

Update: Still the best breakfast in the valley! Just remember cash only…read more Al's Family Diner is breakfast perfection in a town full of poor fast food chain breakfast sandwiches. I am so glad I discovered Al's. My lovely significant other lives in town and we had to drive to Salem NH to find a decent breakfast before discovering Al's. I had the fried bologna special. I know that not everyone favorite breakfast - unless you where raised poor and white like me and have a fondness for this ethnic dish. I will say the fried bologna was perfect, but also the over easy eggs where perfect. It came with a side of yummy homemade home fried potatoes. I also tried a side of there New England style baked beans and they were good. My girlfriend had me order her a stack of pancakes and bacon to bring home to her. The order was huge - HUGE - with bacon cook right She found it delicious. I found the service quick and friendly. I noticed other diners had a huge breakfast sub looking sandwich on Italian bread that was layered with breakfast fare. I need to try this next time And, they have a big selection of speciality omelets needing trying. My food arrived HOT and they timed the pancakes to take home for her perfectly for when I finished. (I let her sleep in on a Saturday- because if you love someone you let them sleep) Al's has been there for 22 years according to the sign on the wall. The place is a little dated but furnished with sturdy oak tables and a huge oak bar that make a perfect breakfast table. It is kind of hidden in a sports/golf center. You will find the door on the left side if the sports center. But don't let the little entrance fool you. It is not a typical hole in the wall joint. it is fairly roomy inside. I will recommend upgrading the toast that comes with most meals to their super-sized english muffin. It is big and came grilled to buttery perfection. It was the best part of a near perfect breakfast. Well worth the extra fifty-cents. And be aware they are cash only, but with the reasonable prices this wasn't a big issue.

Al's for breakfast is a must if you haven't already been. It is a clean, charming neighborhood spot…read moreserving the best breakfast in Mingya Valley. My standard order is two scrambled eggs with two Italian sweet sausages, home fries , white toast and coffee. Believe me : try it, you will like it! The service is also out of this world with smiling waitresses.
