We go for breakfast about once a month I get the 1/2 order of chicken fried steak with home fries and green chili to smother the home fries - A++++. My wife is GF and they are always good about double checking her order. read more

We devoured the chicken fried steak and green chili so fast we only managed to take a picture of a half eaten bowl. The service is so friendly, attentive, and super efficient. A must visit whenever you're at or driving through Grand Junction! read more

Always great service when I go there for breakfast. Good food and they are very accommodating with special requests (I always like some extra pico with my huevos rancheros). Doughnuts next door for breakfast desert too! read more

The first time I went was wonderful and the Spanish waitress was charming. Chicken fried steak was delicious as well as the option to have green chile instead of toast. This morning though was disappointing and ended up with a mouthful of nasty beef fat in my Mexican breakfast. Also decided to try their coffee and it was weak AF. Asked for a stronger cup and after waiting 20 minutes the waitress finally brought it, but it tasted like instant Folgers. Thankfully she comped my meal and I went outside to smoke. Then she came running out like I was going to dine and dash, accusing me and said she called her boss. I then paid a whopping $5 (which included a 85 cent tip just to be nice) for my shitty coffee and left, F that B. read more

Always first class service and food. Maria takes a lot of pride in her place. This is one of my go to breakfast spots.

Went in to get breakfast. We were seated right away. Rachel just walked by me Larray no lesson four times made eye contact. Just kept walking. After waiting about eight minutes we just left. There were only three people sitting on the north side of the restaurant. One got served the other two of us did not. read more

One of the better Mexican-American breakfast joints in town. Authentic green chili and consistency from visit-to-visit. The servers are on the ball, the food comes out quick and if it's wrong they'll make it right. Can't ask for much more than that. Their Bloody Mary ain't half-bad either. read more

Always order the same thing every week. Don't even have to ask. Waitress knows what I want. My Favorite breakfast place in town. Excellent service, great food. read more

It is a clean restaurant with pleasant staff and the BEST green chile I've had in several years. I got the crispy chile relleno with eggs, refried beans, hash browns, and flour tortillas. Wow! I could eat another setting. So good. If you are familiar with green chile and New Mexico-style food, eat here. read more

Great food (try the green chili sauce!) nice staff and a nice atmosphere. Had fun chatting with the waitress. Coffee isn't bad but I'm a snob read more

We have been going to Mary's for breakfast for years. The food is very good with my favorite being the tamale and eggs, and the corned beef hash and eggs. But, sadly, today will be the last day we will be coming here because I've had it with the attitude from a server named Maritza. Maritza used to be friendly but over the years, has started to have an attitude with us. She clearly has her favorites, based on the way she greets customers. I really don't understand her behavior towards us because I have always tipped her well and we have never been problem customers. Several visits ago, she spilled water on the table. She took her time coming back to us and when she came back with extra napkins, she just tossed them on the table. I was incredulous! Did she expect ME to clean up her spill? So I didn't do it, but it drove me crazy with a mini lake on our table, so *I* ended up cleaning her spill. Coming in to eat here was like playing Russian roulette...are we gonna get a good server? Or are we gonna get Maritza with an extra side of attitude? Today, we were greeted with a grimace, while the other customers got a smile and a happy exclamation. She was not happy to be serving us, nor were we happy to have her wait on us. (We don't have any problems with any other server there. Everyone else is friendly.) She tossed the straws at us. When we got our breakfast, it was so good that I thought, "Ok, so it's one server...we can handle it for good food." Then, she tossed the check at us and that's when we made up our minds to never come back. She should get a job at one of those restaurants that specialize in treating customers badly. She wouldn't need any training! She would be a natural! Food = 5 stars; service from Maritza = 0 stars. Average of 2 stars. (Maria, I hope you're listening.) read more

Nice wait staff. Food had good flavor. Clean and fast service. Variety of menu. Choices mild/spicy.

This is one of those great locals places that I love to find when traveling. The food was great and friendly service. I had a breakfast skillet and my wife had the taco salad. Both were great and very large portions. read more

Second time and both times not very fond of this place. My order came out wrong the first time. Second time the food did not click. I heard they hired a new cook. I doubt I will come back again to fix this review. If twice did not help the fluke, then I best stay away. Great service both times, the waitresses were very friendly and welcoming. read more

Everyone everything excellent Very nice and helpful and and lots GF options What else can I say, yummy yummy read more

This happens all of the time and today was the last time we're going there. You can't even enjoy your meal. Two different servers contstantly stop and talk while we're trying to eat. Like I even care about their personal lives. I told my friend just don't make eye contact but they stop to chat anyway. Last straw, a guy was walking around with a coffee pot and we didn't even have coffee. He asked how our meal was and I had just taken a bite of my food and gave him a thumbs up. He stayed there until I was finished chewing. Next time, it is going to be take out. So rude. read more

Wonderful breakfast! Very quick- amazing food and staff is attentive and very very good at what they do! Kudos to the kitchen and waitresses. Thank you for making dining out enjoyable. Loved walking in seeing our law enforcement at a team breakfast, love the feel of the place!! Ambience was perfect read more

Great food! I have eaten several menu items and all has been tasty. Friendly service. Local at its best.

Same food as las Maria's. Good food service is ok. Definitely get the green chili they have it as a side for both breakfast and lunch as a side. read more

Great food, huge portions, breakfast all day, huge drinks, excellent service... whats not to love?

Hole 'N' the Wall niceness. The restaurant itself is comfortable. They practice safe distance, masks and condiments are individual. This is the only restaurant I feel comfortable going into to eat. They got a new cook and though I wasn't sure about ordering the patty melt I did. It came out perfect. The bread crisp as a patty melt should be. The onions well grilled too, making it a patty of flavor. The servers are sweet and friendly as ever. I highly recommend if your looking for a little flavor and comfort. read more

Yum! Cheese and onion enchiladas for breakfast is the best thing on the menu. The ribeye was cooked good. It was good, just like always. This place is consistent. Good food with a Mexican flare. read more

The staff is friendly and quick. The owner is pleasant and helpful. The food is always good. I recommend this place for breakfast or lunch or maybe an early dinner. Enjoy! read more

Great homestyle cooking. Has that "Just like mom makes it" taste. Friendly staff. Highly recommended if you want a hone cooked meal

One of my favorite little holes in the wall. Delicious authentic food, great drinks (alcoholic and sans alcohol) easy going atmosphere, with large screen TVs to watch the Sunday football game! The staff are all so friendly and helpful, a real "homey" feel. Not to mention, they have mimosas the size of your head! I swear there's a while bottle of champagne in ONE! well priced, delicious eats, and great staff! Highly recommend read more

Mary's Restaurant - ( not the largest mimosa they have) Ps: the green chili is phenomenal - American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

The best breakfast restaurant in Grand Junction. The food is delicious, the staff is amazing. Best place for breakfast or lunch. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love home cooking!! I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it was like my homemade! Try the huevos rancheros for another breakfast treat! The refried beans are definitely homemade. I had the chicken fried steak, ordered the 4 ounce and was served a humongous (at least 8 ounce) steak with great white gravy. Eggs are always served the way we ordered. Try the amazing French fries that taste like I remember in the 50's. Great prices and first class service to boot! read more

Mary's has a great breakfast and lunch menu. Good diner style food with south of the border options. The staff is great.

OK - I have only been here once, so this is a temporary review. I did want to post something just so people know this is a good place to go. We went at lunch, but did also look at the dinner menu. I think the dinner menu might offer a better value, but I was happy with my lunch! So - all the good news first. Mary's has arguably the best French Fries in town (my second choice is Bin 707 - but they are a completely different type of fries). Mary's fries are clearly hand cut. They were freshly fried for us and had that beautiful brown and tan coloring of a fresh potato (not one that has been sitting around for hours in water). They tasted of potato, not just of a starch tuber. Honestly, I closed my eyes and revisited my teen years when a bunch of us would sit at a diner nursing our fountain Cokes and sharing a huge plate of fries. Heaven. Service was friendly and assiduous, without being cloying. Our server kept tabs on us and our food - and other servers would stop by to top of drinks and make sure there was nothing else wanted. My husband had the green chile strip burger with swiss cheese. Looked like the bigger part of a freshly roasted (not canned or frozen) poblano pepper under a slightly overcooked burger patty. The cooking was his error - he should have ordered it medium. So no dings for that. The burger was very good - but the star of his plate was those fries!! I had a senior meatloaf (homemade) meal with mashed potatoes and gravy. The meatloaf was very good (not as good as my mother-in-laws meatloaf, but definitely homemade and tender). The potatoes were very good - with just enough roughness to the mash that you knew these were made from real potatoes, not flakes. I will quibble with the gravy. For a restaurant that prides itself on Homestyle Cooking - I think the cornstarch thickened sauce (which always seems like a Chinese place) was a misstep. I wanted a good brown gravy and felt let down. I had a cup of the soup of the day - cream of broccoli. Excellent. Again - clearly homemade with nice chunks of broccoli. I love soups and will definitely be having whatever the soup of the day is!! The restaurant is somewhat basic looking inside, with some attempts at decor on the walls. To me - that is fine. I am there for the food and secondarily the service. Both of those worked for me. There is a dessert carousel near the hostess stand. It is very enticing with cooked-that-morning pies and cakes (per our server). Didn't try them - my lunch filled me up. The dinner menu shows many more choices - for not much more money. Seafood, steaks, etc where lunch is pretty firmly sandwiches and a few salads. So - I will be back to try dinner. PS -- Friday is all you can eat fish and there are Saturday and Sunday specials too! read more

Average food at best and terrible service. Our server really tried but she was overwhelmed with the two other servers not doing their jobs! Had to ask twice for our drinks and the side items that were not delivered with our main food. read more

Delicious, fresh food, and friendly service. Hard to find these days. No frills, but if you want real food, from a real kitchen where they actually cook-this is the place to go! You will never leave hungry and they are consistent- have been several times and always satisfied. Thank you read more

Service is good, prices are good, now for the bad. Do Not, I repeat Do Not get the chicken fried steak. We have had many meals here before so today I decided to try the CFS for the first time, OMG it was horrible! Nasty lumpy Elmers glue looking gravy over a weird tasting piece of meat with funky breading. I ate about 6 pieces of it and left the rest, I dreaded putting it in my mouth and tasting it that much.We like the place and will go back for meals I have had before but the chicken fried steak is awful! Sorry Mary's, it was that bad. read more

Maybe the best breakfast I have ever had. I meant to write this review months ago. Well here I am back in GJ and I'm headed to Mary's for some grub. Can't wait! read more

While the side salad was nothing to write home about, our meals were incredible! I had a spinach, sausage, cheddar, mushroom omelette that had to be one of the best I've ever eaten, next to Mom's. Absolutely loaded adn made with fresh eggs. Yum! My husband's sirloin steak and eggs were, to quote him, fantastic! Hand-trimmed steak meant literally nothing was left on his plate. Not a speck of gristle or fat, and he's very picky about that. The space isn't fancy, and the food was slow to come, but the food was Soo worth the wait. Oh, and the staff was great and attentive! read more

Heard about this place from some friends of mine. Came here with my girlfriend. And OMG....... I am amazed. We stopped in for happy and we were quite happy, with the service. Brittany our server was amazing. Very attentive and personable. The prices are fantastic. I will be back for the Tuesday night special. When you order a full meal on Tuesday, beers are .50 Will for sure be back!!! read more

Probably one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Biscuits and Gravy WOW plate was awesome, chilaquiles were awesome, and the rib eye was perfect. Totally reasonable prices, too. Our server was Rachel and she was great. This will definitely be a regular for us! read more

Maria and her son catered our State Marching band event early November. They delivered the food to the Stoker Stadium right on time. They brought enough food to feed our crew for lunch and dinner. Food was hot and yummy. Salsa and chips were excellent! We had a taco bar with chicken and ground beef. We felt like we got a great value for what they brought and they couldn't have been more helpful to ensure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend them!! read more
