When we arrived they were pretty full!! But there were still a couple table opened, the gentlemen (I assume he must be the owner) direct us to the booth, and ask for our drink right away!! Which was nice since we don't need to wait for someone to come serve, we will be getting our drink super fast!! We ordered a breakfast dish (eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries), and also a country fried steak!! They came out super fast!! And OMG.. that home fries is to die for!! I think I can eat that ALL day long!! Super tasty!! As for the steak, it was ok... guess I was expecting a little more crunchier (not sure if it's because of the sauce they made the steak a bit soggy or not) but the sausage gravy is tasty as well!! The eggs are fresh and taste soo good!! Love it!! Service is super nice, I have a feeling they are family own business and they just work together so well... you can feel they genuinely care for the customers and lots of them are their usuals... We will definitely come back for sure!!! And if you are Marilyn Monroe fan that's the bonus for you!!

It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

We were sat right away and service was quick. My girlfriend ordered the breakfast skillet which was so filling she couldn't finish it. She told me with the tomato sauce on the bottom it tasted similar to a shakshuka. I ordered the mahi wrap which was outstanding. Included lots of vegetables and what looked like a homemade slaw in a tangy sauce of sorts. Delicious. Great spot with good, hearty food. No notes.

Would come here again for a cozy bite!

Versac is a fairly small space with several tables. It has a nice vibe and (not to my taste) rather loud music. I ordered an arepa with white cheese and scrambled eggs, and coffee (served in a paper cup with milk foam). The coffee was excellent, the food very good. Service was a little spotty, but acceptable (not a deal breaker). If I find myself in the area again I would certainly go back for a meal: the menu is extensive and I would love to try several other dishes. Quite an enjoyable meal, and a good value. Recommended.

The woman at the cash register called my number and when I went to the counter, she wanted my ticket. I told her I left it on the table.

Chester Bagel has a self-serve coffee dispenser so customers can get free refills. Marilyn's Cafe and Chester Diner servers come to our table and refill our coffee. I think it is totally inappropriate and rude to treat customers in the manner which we were treated. We will gladly take our business elsewhere.

This location was the old TGI Friday's restaurant, so they did a good transformation and decorated it nicely. There were a few large parties, as they have a perfect layout for it. It was clean and you can smell aroma from the kitchen. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. Took our order and the food came out quick. Drinks were always filled. The chips and pineapple gauc was delicious to include the tacos entrees (Alpastor & Shrimp), and waiter made a personal recommendation for desert. All were spot-on and satisfying. Looking forward to dining-in a lot more to sample their other enticing options.

I visited Sofia's for a girls night…read more We started off with two frozen margaritas which were great. They offered us complimentary salsa and chips. The salsa was alright, it was pretty chunky compared to traditional taquerias. For our main dishes we had the blackened chicken burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was ok, the rice in the burrito was pretty bland and needed more seasoning. The birria tacos were great. I would strongly recommend those. Surprisingly the service was the part that stood out the most, it felt like we were being rushed to order, rushed to finish our drinks, and rushed to finish our food. The restaurant had many open tables so it wasn't a busy night. I was disappointed that they didn't bring the side sauces out by default as I noticed many of the tables had them except for ours.

Coffee was told that would be $3.75 cost of a new cup of coffee which took me my surprise of course I love people know that I've been there for three straight days and it was never the policy, and they literally started laughing at me looking at one another, not looking at me insane. I think I got lucky literally insulting me to my face and behind my face. Never offering any type of explanation or anything of the sort test literally laughing at me. So if you want to be laughed at if you want to be insulted, if you want to make an explanation about how the rules changed this is the place to go how ignorant some people should not be in the Service business, and everyone behind the counter should not be in the surface business
