The place looked so cute online and it equally did not disappoint in person. It is a true diner which means its vibe is diner-esque but that also means its food is tried, true, & dope as all heck. Try their pierogi based breakfast dish - you will not be disappointed. We ordered it as a shareable plate, and that was the right move. Also, Ron greeted us promptly upon entering and was so welcoming. So was our waitress. The whole experience was a 10/10. I recommend going here for a good meal & enjoyable service. read more

Overall my experience at Mary's Diner was a pretty good one. The fries and chili fries were alright, nothing to be amazed by, the Mary's classic felt like a Big Mac if it were to be made with fresh ingredients (in a good way), and the chocolate shake was pretty good too. The waiter we had was very nice and refilled drinks without being asked and had patience with us. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and perfectly replicated a diner from the 50s. read more

Mary's Diner in Madison, OH, is a classic diner experience done well. From the retro vibes to the quick, friendly service, it feels like stepping back in time to when diners were the heart of comfort food. I kicked off my meal with a cup of broccoli cheese soup, which was delivered to the table almost immediately. It was thick, creamy, and packed with cheesy goodness--a definite highlight that sets the tone for the meal. For the main course, I went with the Open-Faced Hot Turkey Sandwich. The turkey was tender and juicy, blanketed with savory gravy that hit all the right notes. The mashed potatoes tasted homemade--just the way I like them--with a few lumps for authenticity. This was my second visit to a Mary's Diner, and both locations impressed me. With hearty food, quick service, and spotless surroundings, it's an easy favorite. read more

Very clean. Polite staff. Fast service. Restroom was also very clean. Will definitely be going back!

Your typical diner experience, and I say that with great admiration for a classic diner! My husband and I love a good classic diner breakfast while traveling. We were greeted warmly when we entered and you could tell it was the type of place that hosted regulars and groups of friends. We ordered: Corned beef hash meal, hash browns extra crispy and a biscuit. I love a canned corned beef so note, if that's not your thing I totally understand but this is a diner staple to me. The biscuits are SO GOOD! Clearly made I house- I recommend getting one! (Or two) My husband got the big mouth breakfast, he loves a classic pancake breakfast and this did not disappoint. If your looking for a classic diner experience, Mary's is what your are looking for! read more

Cute retro diner. We stopped by and I got breakfast (served all day), and my hubby got lunch! All of the food came out nice and hot! The decor is really cute and the Music was played at a perfect volume level!! Loud enough to enjoy, but you could easily have a conversation without having to yell!!! One thing that impressed me was the fact that most diners never season the hash browns.... Mary's diner finally gave me very well seasoned potatoes! Yay!! A very nice gentleman went around and greeted guests at every table and thanked each one for stopping by. So we will go back when we are in the area. Good food and good service- win, win! read more

You have got to try the GRAPE milkshake!! read more

This is a brand new and much larger location for this wonderfully nostalgic diner. The decor is heavy on the red, but it works. It's very cozy and inviting with all of the fun and vintage inspired signs and artwork. The service was friendly and prompt. The menu was huge with many daily specials. The prices seemed a little bit above average for a diner. Not too many vegetarian options, mainly just in the breakfast section of the menu. I may have overlooked some items, though. I ordered the mozzarella sticks to start. Yes it's a common menu item for a lot of places, but they need to be made right. In this instance they definitely were awesome! I also ordered the bella melt. It was one large grilled portabello mushroom topped with blue cheese and roasted red peppers on a slightly toasted bun. It was tasty but became a soggy mess quickly. I wouldn't order it again. The fries that came with it were very good. My hubby ordered the strip steak. It was done to his liking and came with a decent sized salad, mashed potatoes and gravy. He said it was pretty good but not exceptional. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea. I had to send it back because it was really watered down. I was shocked by that, especially at a diner. The desserts sounded tempting, but maybe next time. Overall, I would recommend checking this diner out. It's a great family friendly atmosphere that caters to everyone and Grandma, too. read more

Great Pumpkin Cappuccino! Great atmosphere! Great service! I didn't care for the dish I ordered though. Corned beef sandwich. Also did not care for their fries. Dry and overcooked probably out of a bag of frozen fries. The sandwich was a tough cut of meat and thickly sliced and didn't taste like corned beef. read more

While their prices continue to rise, their quality continues to drop. They stopped serving butter with breakfast and only provide cheap margarine. It's a diner, I know, but food doesn't have to taste like it's made with strictly GFS or CISCO Foods ingredients, especially at those prices. read more

Fair warning--you won't get as many wings as you expect. Madison may not be as good as the Geneva Mary's Diner. I've eaten at the Geneva location many times (I like the food there), but I live in Madison, so tonight I decided to order takeout from this location in Madison. I ordered 3 pounds of Buffalo wings. When I picked them up from the restaurant and the box seemed very light. I don't usually double check things like weight or count my wings, but they seemed so far off from 3 pounds I decided to use a postage scale to weigh the box. The wings (including the takeout box) weighed 1.3 pounds. I called the restaurant to see if the measure things differently, and they do--they weigh the wings before they cook (they lose weight when they cook), but, she added, they don't weigh anymore and they count out 16 wings for 3 pound orders and 8 wings for 1.5 pound orders. That's a big difference and about half what I expected, especially since the wings were not very large. The wings were really gross tonight. Ordered them from Geneva just a couple weeks ago and they were great. Not sure if a fluke or if the Madison location isn't as good as the Geneva location. I won't order from the Madison location again. Disappointed. read more

Outstanding service, outstanding facilities, outstanding menu selection, and reasonably good price point. I had a decent fish fry with the exception that I do not care for the kind of french fries if they serve. They would be better to serve crinkle cut fries, which would be more in tune with the decor in seeming of the restaurant, rather than the coded seasoned pieces of potato slurry, that they present.. the other members of our party enjoyed great meals had a chance to sample their chili, which was very delicious too. read more

Not too bad. Nice clean restaurant. Can be pricey and some of the food tastes bland. Staff is really helpful and polite. The original diner was really tasty but seems like it's not as pleasant since they are expanding to different cities. It's not bad but nothing really seems to stand out. Wish the food was a little tastier for the price. read more

New menu,raised there prices ok I can understand that.But food quality has gone down since the original Mary diner. Try Mary's double hamburger for example two very thin panties lettuce and Cheese special sauce.Not even close to what used to be at Mary's.oh and No rolls for dinner any more too expensive for them. hummm!!!! Well at least I know how they are building more restaurants. read more

This restaurant is another place to meet lots of people from the area the food is great prices are not bad ...

We went at 9:30 on Sunday morning for breakfast for two and were sat down right away. The waitress was nice and very efficient. Our food was good and was out quickly. I like to order my bacon and hash brows crispy and they nailed it. Delicious sausage gravy as well. The restaurant has a really neat classic diner vibe. They had plexiglass between tables, the staff wore masks, and they were cleaning the tables with sanitizer between uses. I didn't love the coffee, but it wasn't terrible either. read more

Stopped for lunch, we got kids burgers and chicken fingers. Everything was horrible. The chicken is so processed and doesn't taste good and the burgers tasted old and microwaved. Over priced for what they serve. I don't suggest going here. read more

Always great for at a great price! Wonderful service! It's our go to place because of its vast and delicious menu. Great for any meal of the day! Their wings, steak and egg breakfast and strawberry shortcake (I get mine with a Biscuit instead of cake ) are a just a few of the items that keep us coming back! read more

So we were not aware the dinner closed at 8pm and me and my mother in law walked in 15 till. They sat us anyway. we have never been here before and took a while to decide what we wanted to eat. Jess our server never pressured us to hurry and order and was nothing but polite. Our food and Malts came out (omg the chocolate malts are so good!) I had the Cajun Burger minus the jalapeño (didn't want it to spicy) I also added bacon, wow the chipotle mayo was amazing the burger was perfectly cooked the smokiness of the mayo complemented the Cajun spices nicely. Thanks so much to you guys for giving us a pass on coming in late will be bringing my husband and friends back for that burger read more

Great place! Fun decor, extensive menu, good service and great food! Can't ask for much more!

Cute 50's style dinner takes me back to a restaurant from my childhood. Good prices food average.

I use to go to Mary's Diner every weekend. I use to order online and then after 20 minutes go and pick up the meals. BUT I noticed my brand new Dell computer started to give me a warning about the web page not being secure. I spoke to someone there and they did not seem to be concerned. I spoke to the manager at the Madison Ohio location via email and he never even replied to me. I guess he could care less about potential situations that he has put his customers in. read more

Decor 10/10, service 3/10, food 4/10. Wouldn't go back, food is nothing too special or great. I got dinner and i've breakfast is good here but haven't had it myself. read more

The ambiance is nice until your food arrives. I had a sandwich that was supposed to emulate Mr. Hero's Roman burger. It fell short. The bun was too small the burgers were dry and Luke warm. Onion rings were dried out too. Pretty bad when you have to douse it in ketchup to choke it down. We waited long enough, the food should have been made fresh. read more

Ordered our food to go, missing items, everything cold, not enough barbecue sauce. So disappointed, second time getting cold food. From now on, getting the same thing from another restaurant. It's a shame. read more

My husband and I love diners and diner food as a fun alternative. Pre-Covid, this location and the one in Geneva had better-than-average food, but our two recent trips to the one in Madison have had food that could best be described as adequate. It is hard to social distance in a diner, and by nature, they are small, so spacing customers out means a substantial loss of business. This diner is doing pretty well, and I am sure will recover their standards. It was pretty new when Covid hit, and is a hit with us locals. Very friendly staff, very kid-friendly place. read more

Classy, clean and bright! Mary's Diner has made the adjustment to COVID dining without removing the cool diner atmosphere. Top that off with great, friendly service and fantastic burgers and salads and you have a great dining experience. Would recommend it for date night or quick meal! read more

Although I wouldn't consider their prices expensive, it is a lot of money, for the poor quality, poorly prepared skimpy SLOP that they are serving. Once was enough for me. Although it was simple cafe food, I used to like the Geneva location, this Madison location never should have happened. read more

Went there for breakfast. It was "okay". Nothing special or great. The music was a little loud, could be turned down just a little. I ordered two eggs scrambled with hash browns and bacon. Food was not at all hot, just barely warm at best. The two scrambled eggs did not appear to be two eggs. Very small serving. The server was good but not very friendly. Not too impressed. read more

Fork is so cheap it hurts your hand to cut soft things. :( Food was great and server wonderful but ow!

I ordered a BLT to go and was extremely disappointed! It was literally one piece of bacon, one piece of lettuce, no tomato and a slice of American cheese melted on top! read more

I want to start with the good, the servers are wonderful and attentive. The restaurant appears clean and even the bathrooms were. That's the end of that. The food was terrible. Let me start I was excited to try and have milkshakes with my 7 year old. She loved the cherry then took a sip. She immediately said, "Does this taste right to you?" She tried one more sip the pushed it aside then drank her water. She had spaghetti which is always a home run and she wouldn't eat it (but she liked the garllic bread). I had one of the specials (beef tips) and it was very bland and a little over cooked. The salad was not very good either. It was just some bagged lettuce two pieces of onion and two grape tomatoes that were squishy. I was so excited to try as we have never been at either restaurant but I know we won't be going back. read more

Just left the restaurant. Waited 45 minutes for food. I went in hungry and left hungry. I did not care for the food at all nor did my wife. we will never go back. Cute atmosphere. read more
