When we worked it you could tell it was going to be good. Food smelled wonderful. Atmosphere was old 50's diner. The menu was simple but good food. I got the egg, home fries toast weekday special. My partner got the Friday French toast and bacon special. The poached eggs were done to perfection. I wish the home fries were done on the grill rather than deep fried. The waitress you could tell had done this a long time she was efficient, took our order, and got it out hot. The diner was car themed and very fun. The place was clean. read more

Stopped at Mary's Diner while out in Geneva and accidentally traveled back in time--to when diners meant big plates, good prices, and no one whispered the words "portion control." Classic diner vibes, plenty of choices, and servings big enough to make your leftovers feel like they earned a seat at the table. A fun throwback to the real deal. read more

Stopped here for dinner on a road trip. Great little place, clean with great service and good food. I had the Salisbury steak special...took me back! read more

Amazing! Food and service were so great! I definitely would return when we have another visit to Geneva!

Worker airing on me was very nice. But my patty melt was so so soggy bread had no toast color to it. Suppose to alittle toasty at least. Meat got thinner and thinner there didn't it. Meat was dry. So disappointed. Im local so I could be coming there again and again. Which I have. Before..quality is going down hill. We'll prices go up. Signed Char read more

Small town diner on our trip up North. Friendly wait staff, good food nicely portioned. Worth a visit.

Very nice to dine with the locals. Was up here for a swim clinic and stopped in. Clean, friendly and fast service came with delicious breakfast food. If in the area, will stop back in! read more

Friendly wait staff. Fun traditional 50s diner vibe. And typical diner fare with seasonal specials. We were here on a Saturday at 5:15p and were in and out in a half hour. Perfect for between soccer matches at Spire (only 8 minutes away). read more

Some of the waitress needs to write your order down, so can look at the order and get right.

From the moment we walked in until the moment we decided to walk out , this place did not give off a positive vibe. I find myself frequently traveling and I am a huge foodie. I have dined at dives and Michelin star restaurants. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the food because I never was able to eat it. The waitress was one of the laziest, rudest server/person I have encountered. From the moment we walked in .she never walked us to the table just put two tables together and threw the menu's down. The rest of the service followed the same manner of serving. Cups and dishes thrown on the table every effort seemed too difficult for her. There was space to place drinks in front of everyone , instead she threw them at one end of the table. The part that made me lose my appetite was after she refused to reached to hand my 73 yr old mother her food and expect her to do the work to grab it. Next , me and my son were sitting next to each other on the outside of the table. Instead of stepping between us and handing both of us our plates, she decided to reach her arm directly in front of my face. I had her elbow inches from my lips. Now I don't do well with people in my personal space especially because I am a medical professional, and I am careful to avoid unnecessary germs. In addition to that , my mother is immune suppressed from active chemo treatments. This was actually a small trip for her to enjoy herself. When we inquired about a manger we were told he was not on site, but minutes later the owner appeared. After defending the situation he did try to make things right but he definitely lacked professionalism and problem solving skills. I really hate giving negative reviews, I typically like to discuss things personally so issues can be addressed and not publicly reported. But unfortunately, this situation needs more care and awareness than what was given. They claim they have cameras, which I hope they do, so they can see what occurred was not just a hypersensitive situation on our part. For the future I hope the owner learns some skills to communicate better with his customers and the server figures things out for the future of the company and future patrons read more

Staying in the area and tried Mary's Diner for dinner. We liked it so much we came back for breakfast the next day! 50's style diner serves typical diner food but also small town restaurant style food. Delicious food and friendly service makes this a great place for the "regulars" and first time visitors alike. Highly recommend! read more

stopper by passing though and wow. This place is super cool and the food was amazing! Def a must stop if ur in the area !

I'm a sucker for a diner, and I did enjoy my meal at Mary's. We went for brunch at the tail end of our trip to Geneva. I had my dog, so we sat on the patio, even though it was a bit chilly that day, and while we were the only ones out there, the service was good. Breakfast can be hit or miss for me and the selection here was OK. They have a lot of combos of eggs, meat, pancakes, but not many side options if you don't eat meat, and they don't offer the combos without, so for me, that's always frustrating. The French toast was decent, and my over medium eggs were, in fact, medium. My dog was very happy with her massive pup cup. read more

My friend and I were craving a Sunday morning brunch. However we had a dog with us. After searching for a pet friendly patio we decided to try Mary's Diner. My friend and I were the only people on the patio during our visit. So I was a little worried we might be neglected by our server. Thankfully that was not the case. our server checked on us frequently. For breakfast I ordered a short stack of blueberry pancakes, sausage and hot chocolate. The pancakes were huge! I found the pancakes a little bland in the bites that didn't have blueberries. The pancaked needed about twice as many blueberries. Also the hot chocolate was very tasty especially with the thick whipped cream topping. Overall I was happy with my meal and experience. Not to mention the prices were really good. read more

Here's the problem with Mary's Diner. It serves good Diner food in ample quantities, at a good price, by really super duper servers. Wait! There's no problem there! This place checks every box as a diner!! But I had the cabbage rolls Sunday special and they were wonderful. So take into account that this is coming from a guy that orders cabbage rolls!!!! read more

We stopped here for lunch. Hubs got a cheese omelette with toast & hashbrowns. He said the omelette was very good; buttery & 'fluffy'. I had the Reuben sandwich and sweet potato fries. Both were excellent. The sandwich is large & I ate half, packed the other half. The fries were fresh & had cinnamon butter to dip them in. Our server was excellent and the decor is very cute. It truly felt like we were having lunch in the local diner in the 50's. The jukebox was playing and the specials looked tempting. We may be back for supper soon! read more

7 yrs from my first post, not my last experience...felt an update was needed to reinforce how great they are here! Great food, awesome service with a nostalgic atmosphere. Thanks for a great diner, dinning experience with supper staff! read more

A reasonably good diner experience. It seems odd they don't have real butter as an option for things like pancakes. Just margarine. I drew a mediocre waitress who didn't come around often. It's not like they were busy, she just didn't come around often enough. I sat there waiting for coffee every time I finished a cup. read more

Very surprising assortment of dishes besides traditional diner fare. Tried the daily special- a house favorite. Chicken paprikash on spaetzle. Seriously. Loaded with sauce that could have been spicier, while chicken was a bit dry. Great atmosphere of retro diner-mobilia. read more

This place was absolutely amazing in every way I have 10 members of my family that I'm traveling with from New York, every meal was amazing! I highly recommend everything on the menu especially milkshakes which they also do in malt. The staff were fast and friendly. The place was spotlessly clean. read more

The Good- To start, love the eclectic interior of this place! There is so much to look at and it is clearly loved by the locals as there were quite a few groups where you could tell this was their go-to Saturday morning spot (always a good sign). The sausage breakfast burrito was filling and well-balanced in flavor, crisped to golden perfection. You don't even need the sour cream/salsa it is that good. The grape milkshake was also surprisingly delicious. We were wondering if it would taste like medicine, but it did not. Perfect level of grape flavor and the color and the sprinkles made it so fun to eat (and look at). Also they have Dr. Pepper! The eh- Honestly, the mac-n-cheese bites were nothing to write home about. They were Kraft mac-n-cheese, which is something I hadn't seen before, but if you like Kraft this place is for you. Lastly, the three cheese melt did not have the ooey gooey goodness I would expect out of a diner grilled cheese. I could make out each individual slice of cheese because it was more steamed than melted. Overall- it's a fairly decent place. I would definitely recommend breakfast, but lunch is nothing special. read more

Food was decent, service was awful. Waitress was rude and dismissive. She even snatched the check out of my hand. It's sad because I've been going there for 8 yrs with my family. Never going again. read more

In Geneva from out of town on a fishing trip with 3 other friends and found this place on Yelp. 4.5 stars solid and I couldn't agree more. Seated quickly and the place and restroom was clean. Love the golden oldies music and decor. Our waitress, Sarah, was phenomenal. She was pleasant, smiles from ear to ear and loved joking with us. The other waitresses were just as pleasant to all of the customers around us as well. The menu has tons of options. 2 of us got the "all you can eat fish". 1 got the steak hoagie and I got the breakfast option. We were not disappointed. Good place for families too. Enjoy!!! read more

It was a cute little diner... it is a 5 star for what it "is" amongst itself. All the food was hot. We sat at the counter every time we were in (for a sports tournament). They were super fast and everything came out as expected. The chicken tenders were good too. read more

Good food, fair prices and timely service. I have not had a bad meal there yet, whether it be lunch or breakfast.

They have raised their prices and some items depends if it's pick up or delivery and the extra charges are higher than other places. And the food isn't near as good as it used to be. read more

Food was not bad. Service from waitress was depressing. no smile, no pep , acted like it was painful to be at work. Attitude adjustment please. not likely to return. Did not offer to refill coffee , take our plates or offer desert. Some man came by and took our plates and i said we would like pie. She was more interested in rolling silverware. Prices are high enough, service should be exceptional , maybe someone will read this and coach her that her job is too make folks want to come back. read more

Classic dinner with all the basics. I enjoyed a 3-cheese grilled cheese on Texas toast, while my wife enjoyed a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap. Friendly service and 50's decor. Been here several times and always good. read more

So we on our way to Madsen's in Geneva on the Lake for the Cream filled Chocolate eclairs that I haven't had for 60 years. But unfortunately the place was closed. Web site said open Fri Sat Sun. Guess I should have called. Come to the rescue was Mary's Diner in Geneva. We had just heard about the place from a friend so we decided to make the trip worthwhile. Mary's did not disappoint! Place was a really cool nostalgic 50s style diner with the front of a 50's style car (sorry can't remember what kind) as part of the counter. With records, posters and pictures of that era along with the music playing from the jukebox , it definitely transports you back in time. The first thing that caught my eye on the menu was "Mary's Big Egg Bowl" , done! I'm having a hard time trying to describe it but picture a open omelette with tons of gooey goodness and vegetables inside topped with cheese and sausage, served with a side of toast. Are you kidding me? Both my wife and I ordered it and decided it was one of the best breakfast we've had. Place was clean and the service excellent. So if you find yourself in Geneva , which is cool little town in itself, and your hungry, Mary's for sure! You will not be disappointed! read more

Classic diner with huge menu. We stopped in on a summer afternoon for lunch. Service was prompt and efficient with constant checks in our water and food delivery. The decor is 50s vibe and very quaint. Now down to the lake perch sandwich. Hot, tasty, and crispy. The onion rings as a side are a better option than the fries. Our server was a little reluctant to recommend any food items, but we went with the starred options and they were all done well. If you happen to be out this way... this is a home run! read more
