Had driven past this for many years and finally stopped for lunch Pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu. We ordered the bacon wrapped corn, dog appetizer, and the adult grilled cheese. Both were yummy. I will be back read more

Not my first visit. Breakfast last week. Dinner-Stockman's weeks ago and it was great! Food was great. Service was great. Ambience was great. Will go back. read more

Great food, great service, great prices....i don't know why it took us so long to find this long standing diner. Their omelettes are excellent, and, we enjoyed their Pattie melt. Their portions are large and their fries are great. The service is efficient and friendly. It took someone who has lived in Flag for decades to tell us about their great Chicken fried steak, which we will try next time. This truly was a find for us. read more

My girlfriend and I had the 1961 Combation. Ambiance of food and service was excellent. Half pound each of brisket, pulled pork, ribs with three sides/three rolls. Highly recommended! read more

Forty years ago I used to come dancing here The food is great! I came in, friendliest waitress helped me. I got the country club I think it was called. It's the brisket and pork and F'ing Tasty! My attentive waitress said it was good and so now I know she's honest as well as a good waitress. Seriously stop and eat here. I'm in town for another week and I plan on going back! It's super clean and totally what you expect. read more

Service is top notch. Food is amazing. Best Navajo taco I've had. Hubby had the smoked brisket which was delicious with yummy sauce. We'll be back! read more

We love historic cafes and this one has been around for 50+ years. It was fairly quiet on an early Tuesday morning. Their servings are good size - subsequently I didn't order chicken-fried steak because it comes on three plates! I got a traditional breakfast with sausage and biscuits. Everything was tasty. The Hubbs ordered the cinnamon roll French toast with ham and eggs. Everything was good, but the French toast was mushy in the middle - which means too much egg mixture and not long enough on the grill. Good coffee, great service. read more

Good service, nice ambiance, food was just the average diner meal. Coffee was not hot. Not bad but not spectacular.

We stopped here on our way back home. So much better than the fast food joints. Service and food were both very good. I got the burger and fries and wife got the grilled chicken patty melt. Will have to stop on the way back to try the chicken fried steak next time. read more

Just overpriced diner food, with over cooked fries and terrible coffee. Waitress was very nice.

If you are looking for a Route 66 type diner experience for a meal in Flagstaff, head to Mary's Cafe. Do not be put off by its unassuming exterior. Inside awaits excellent, friendly efficient service and even better food! Generous, delicious portions! read more

Food's really good service was really good. They do you a favor and put the tip calculator on the check. The problem is they want you to tip on top of tax. Management knows you're only supposed to tip on subtotal. If you want more money for your workers, pay them more money. read more

Driving thru area about lunchtime and found Mary's by happy accident. The exterior looks like a tavern. Promptly greeted and seated by very friendly server. Interior had kind of a diner feel, a little worn and tired but authentic. We ordered build your own burger w fries and a BLT w Taco soup of day. Burger was good meat, very substantial and well prepared. Fries were somewhat limpy, would order different side next time, they had numerous side choices. Taco soup was kind of like spicy chili, really hearty and satisfying. BLT was also good w crispy bacon. Overall pleasantly surprised by our very good meal. Would try again if in the area. Open for breakfast too read more

There are good reasons why a business keeps it's doors open over 50 years plus and they usually are good reasons. Mary's Cafe fits that bill. Excellent food all around served by very friendly help. Yeah maybe it's a good 'ole boys hangout but everyone is in good humor here. So nice to see a guy slide up to a counter seat and hear the server ask "you want the usual?" Good food, service and priced right - Mary's gets it done. read more

Stopped in for dinner and had the smoked brisket--flat-out excellent. Tender, smoky, and clearly done by someone who knows what they're doing, not just reheated barbecue pretending to be the real thing. Solid portions, no gimmicks. Big shout-out to Hannah, our server. She was warm, attentive without hovering, and genuinely added to the experience. The kind of service that makes you relax and enjoy your meal instead of feeling rushed or ignored. Mary's Café feels like one of those places that doesn't need hype--it just delivers good food and good people. We'll be back. read more

Cute cafe! We visited Mary's Cafe for breakfast on a Wednesday morning, and it was mostly empty. A mix of country music and classic rock provided the acoustic backdrop to our visit. The space is filled with wooden seats and accents with white laminated tables. I tried the huevos rancheros. The huevos rancheros were standard except for the salsa which was particularly delicious. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Mary's Cafe and would recommend them for breakfast. read more

The food was average diner food, but pricey. Over $40 for an ordinary 2 egg breakfast, hashbrowns, toast, and 3 slices of bacon, coffee (if you want cream, bring your own or you'll add 2% milk). On a brighter note the staff was very attentive and friendly. Country diner atmosphere, quiet and pretty clean. read more

I got "what they're known for" the chicken fried steak. It was one of the blandest meals I've ever had. The only reason they got another star was because the Navajo taco was decent. They gave themselves an automatic tip even though the service was super slow. Skip this place. read more

Mary's Cafe is awesome, they have a little bit of everything and have good size portions. You wont leave hungry! The desserts are also amazing! The staff is friendly and very welcoming, make sure to stop in and say hi to Sierra, she's my favorite. read more

Been here several times before. Love the ambiance. Good wait staff. However. This time the good was sub par at best. Ordered the adult grilled cheese, bread literally burnt. Fries were cooked to a crisp, bidder line burnt. Hopefully they improve. read more

Quiet spot on an early Monday morning. We were quickly greeted and seated. Coffee came shortly after. We both had egg/meat/hash browns, although my husband added French toast. All were well cooked. Simple, well done, fresh. Good stop, even though it's not much to look at from the outside. read more

Great little restaurant for breakfast, just don't come by yourself. The restaurant was lovely, very quaint and well decorated. It opens super early and the waitress was super friendly and attentive. Food is your typical American breakfast: I chose the highly rated cinnamon french toast which hit all the right notes and definitely left an impression. Served along with hash browns, your choice of egg and bacon/sausage/ham (I chose bacon). The taste of the food was great, but the portion highlighted why USA got so much health problems. Better come here with your significant other or one of your friend and share the food. Tip and tax all came out to be ~$27 (added an orange juice cup), so probably not a place you can enjoy daily. read more

I so wish I could remember the name of the young lady who waited on us as she was absolutely adorable and very accommodating. We sat out in the sunshine on the back patio and had the most wonderful ribs. It's easy to pass this place as it's very non-descriptive But trust me, it is well worth a visit. read more

Great roadside cafe that is clean, friendly, and generous with portions. Scratch cooking like grandma used to make. Chicken fried steak that is fresh, not frozen. homemade pies and soups. And don't forget a cinnamon roll for the road. Mary's proves there are still establishments that take pride in their food and service. read more

This place is a time capsule for anybody who has seen the movie Two Lane Blacktop with James Taylor from circa 1971. The booth that they sat in is still there and has markings from the movie scene being filmed there. On top of everything else, the food is simply amazing !!! read more

Mary's cafe has great food, reasonable prices, decent service, and generous portion sizes. Tip: Soda refills are not complimentary My biggest complaint is the fact that it took quite a while for our food to be ready.  That said, when it came, the Wrangler Burger was exceptional :-) read more

Stopped by this Flagstaff favorite for breakfast and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. Served with hash browns, eggs and bread of choice. The Chicken Fried Steak was breaded and cooked very well, but the breading could've used a little more salt. Good thing there was gray on it! Eggs were decent, hash was slightly overcooked. They biscuits and gravy was a nice bread option. Service was really good and you could tell they have a number of regulars who stop by. read more

Great find in Flagstaff! Our server was great and the smell of this afternoon's bbq was a nice way to start our day. We ordered the cinnamon roll French toast which came with eggs, bacon (could order sausage) and hash browns. The cinnamon French toast is incredible! Light, fluffy roll turned into French toast. Eggs done well and the hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The restaurant looks small from the outside but is actually larger than it looks like. The inside is simple diner decor with a counter for singles. There is a huge area for the night time dinner and drink crowd as well as a patio area for warmer weather. Easy to spot on 89 next to the ConocoPhillips gas station. Plenty of parking for any size car, truck or RV in the rear. Our only negative comment would be no cream for our coffee... 2% doesn't cut it. I'm sure that's an easy fix! read more

When traveling, we like to use yelp to local businesses. Mary's Café looked interesting, and we stopped in for lunch after returning from Sunset Crater and Wupatki (two must see National Monument parks!). The atmosphere is very homey with pine board paneling. The entire staff is very friendly. Amanda was our server and Sierra helped too. Extremely friendly and they checked in on us regularly. Anything we needed they got it immediately. I ordered the Cobb Salad and it was HUGH. The roast beef is the kind one would expect on a French Dip. My wife ordered chicken quesadillas and we ended up taking a third of her meal home the serving size was that March. I could not finish all of my salad either. We were both very satisfied with the taste of our meals. We live in Phoenix but when we return to the Flagstaff area, we would definitely like to go to Mary's Café again. read more

I know I've posted enough about this place for it to get boring, but still...this little cafe is wonderful! We try to come in about every six weeks or so, and never, ever have we had a complaint! Today's visit involved the biggest dadgummed cinnamon roll I ever saw and bottomless cups of real "cowboy" coffee. You know, the kind of coffee that you ALMOST need to chew, but is still hearty and delicious. Today, Sierra and Hannah spoiled us unmercifully! I can guarantee we'll be back! When you visit, bring a huge appetite for great, authentic Northern Arizona home cooking! If you're really hungry, grab yourself a Cowboy Club sandwich. Didn't do it today, and I'm kinda sorry about that, but I'm not able to take a nap this afternoon, so I'll pass. Next time, though! Thank you, Mary's Cafe! read more

Phone number does not work!! Please fix or update!! I just want to call in a order for takeout just keeps ringing like it's busy.

We went to Mary's Cafe today for lunch. Our first time this year since we're back in town for the summer. They now have a smoker and offer some BBQ options along with their regular options on the menu. My original choice when we decided to go there was to get their Adult Grilled Cheese, one of my favorites. But the smell of the smoker when we arrived convinced me to try their BBQ. I ordered the BBQ Hoogie with brisket and their regular BBQ sauce (they also offer a spice Chipotle BBQ sauce) with potato salad as my side. Both were delicious. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the potato salad wasn't vinegary like a lot of restaurants serve; not quite as good as my homemade, but close. The place was clean. The decor is a little outdated, but it was light and bright inside, not dark and dingy like so many older places are. Our waitress was very friendly, and although the service was a little slow, it was not enough that we felt ignored or impatient. FYI, if you use a credit card to pay, they charge you a convenience fee; ours was $.97 Not sure if it varies by the tab total or if it's a flat fee. read more

Thank you, Yelpers for steering me here! After a day in the wilds above Flagstaff, a meal like my mama would make was the ticket. I ordered the signature club. OMG! Brisket and bacon and pork on toasted bread with fixins? Hell, yes! Hubs had the BLT with a fried egg. Inspired! We shared his perfect skinny fries. We weren't done! He got the local bakery chocolate layer cake for dessert, and I got a scoop of vanilla ice cream and poured my applesauce over it. Hoooo boy! I'll cut back tomorrow! Outstanding service! Spotlessly clean. Locally-owned for 60+ years. I can see why. read more
