Sausage n eggs
Summer D.

It's a family run business. Everyone that works here is very friendly and it looks like it's been here since the 70s which I guess it has. Star of the show here is the pancakes and you can order a half order which is three or a full order of six. Pancakes are a great size and you will have leftovers unless you come in starving. I got a side of sausage links I was not really a fan of. Just an odd aftertaste to me. My friend got some bacon with her pancakes and she said that's the way to go. The service was timely and you pay up front when you leave. We have so many breakfast places here in Toledo that this place is probably overlooked but worth checking out

Eggs Florentine
That G.

Eggs Florentine (will be pictured below), hash and eggs (so no pic). Enough food to take some with you...oh almost forgot the flavorful pancakes!! The waitress never let the coffee run dry!! She attended without being in the way. Nice and quiet even though packed. Hard to find homemade breakfast these days. We are happy!! Come see Sue for smiling happy sever.

Whipped cream for pancakes!
Chris P.

Expect to wait! But it is well worth it! Great service and the food is fresh and exceptional! I highly recommend!!

Hot chocolate, blueberry pancakes and O'Brien hash browns with cheese

We've been frequenting this establishment for years! The best breakfast in Toledo! You really just can't go wrong! Staff has gotten friendlier over the years. Definitely try this place if you haven't!

Buttermilk pancakes
Connor G.

Our waitresses name was Jenifer and she was very attentive and nice! Here there are many booths and smaller tables for all. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is good, I will not rave over one item but good is a great way to describe it! Only complaint would be the entrance area and how it was a little confusing to get seated

Biscuits and gravy
Jennifer K.

First time here was a success! Cute decor, good customer service, delicious food, reasonable prices. I will definitely be back.

Coffee
Ree T.

This place is not vegan. There is no vegan menu. However, most of us vegans are skilled at piecing a meal together and that is what I did. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant itself has good space and is is bright. The food was hot when it came to the table and was delicious. It is a lot of food.

Our favorite breakfast spot in Toledo. We get the most bang for our buck and the food is very…read moredelicious. The menu has a wide range of options to choose from We got the ham & greyere omelette and added spinach which was one of the best omelettes I've had. The combo was a perfect mix of cheese with the saltiness and flavor of the ham. We also got the avocado toast with the basted egg which was very fresh. They used some very fresh avocados, it seems they used the whole avocado cause we surely weren't lacking. The biscuits and gravy were extremely good. The biscuits had a slight crunch and were freshly made. The turkey gravy was flavorful and light The drinks are premade but also very well done. Slightly on the sweeter side but still well done The restaurant was packed with a 15-20 min wait but there's a community table that we sat at and we were seated immediately, fun hack for couples. Only one other person sat at the table with us so it was like we had to it ourselves, though we wouldn't mind chatting to random strangers. We love this place and will be back

For the most part I really love this place. The ambience and modern rustic vibe with mindful…read moreingredients and great choices to eat and drink are worth coming in for! I was told they don't take reservations but that we could sign in to the waitlist. When we got in there was nobody under our group's name.. not sure if we didn't do it right but was a little confused by that. Either way, we were able to get a table right away, a nice booth in the back at that. It's kid friendly too which is always a plus. There is so much deliciousness on the menu it's great! There is something for everyone and all of it tastes great. I will say the chickichanga I had was a bit spicy but still really good. Also, you have to try the different drinks they have! I got the kale tonic and caramel crunch coffee, both AMAZING! Although if you're lactose intolerant I'd ask for dairy free milk and if you're not into sweet stuff this is probably not for you. I was a little disappointed in the waitress. She was super kind and personable but I felt like she didn't ask enough questions, like when I asked for the coffee she never asked what milk I wanted (I should've clarified but still). I also felt like she didn't show herself enough. It wasn't terribly busy so I felt she could've done better. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Omelette was superb but could have used some some more green peppers inside, extremely fluffy and barely runny. 8/10 The Potatoes were surprisingly delicious and just the right amount of toppings, they were burned so I will have to doc some points. 7/10 Bread was great, just right amount of crispy and fluffy but not enough butter on them (should've put more on myself) 7/10 My girlfriend got the 2 eggs with Pancakes deal with hash browns. The eggs were super fluffy and not runny at all. 9/10 The meal came with 3 pancakes which were very manageable, not the size of the entire plate and easy to eat. Incredibly fluffy. 9/10 The hash browns were super crispy and very greasy, couldn't finish them all. 6/10

Went for breakfast and ordered eggs (over easy), hashbrowns, ham, rye toast and coffee. The eggs…read morewere perfect, the hashbrowns were crispy and the toast was fine. Service was great. My issues are the ham was a processed ham roll, and the coffee was pretty much just hot water. If the restaurant owners were real ham lovers, they'd have a "real ham" in the kitchen and they'd slice off a slab of the stuff for us folks that really love it. A nice piece off of a half or whole ham, not that awful "Cumberland Gap ham steak" stuff. Not the same stuff. Oh, real, strong coffee would be nice too.

After my first visit and observation I'm reminded of Cheers "Where everyone knows your name" - your…read moregreeted warmly, treated like your family, handled with care. This truly a wonderful experience for all ages and varying tastes. A tremendous and welcome change we've come to endure from other dining experiences. Here the customer is THE primary focus from the moment you walk in til you walk out the door - BRAVO!! The food, had the Mayberry Mega where you pick your 6 omelette ingredients. Normally a crap shoot in most diners but here it was a home run. The ham and sausage were nice size chunks, juicy, and full of flavor. Spinach, onions, and tomatoes were fresh and perfect sizes and good quantities for the dish. That leaves the cheese my one "ding" would have preferred shredded cheese vs sliced cheese because of flavor and texture - but it didn't take away from a wonderfully prepared omelette made and severed with genuine care. Potatoes were frozen BUT they were prepared exceptionally well for dinner dare they were soft and cooked with a nice crisp. It was a superb surprise and a very welcome one. The coffee was fresh and hot and the standard "acidic" coffees you'd find in most diners anywhere, but overall inviting enough to have a few cups for a discerning coffee "snob" like me. Place was PACKED so all tables and booth were full, but they have a nice counter service with plenty of seating and space to move and eat and be very comfortable for your meal. What's fascinating is the incredible teamwork and collective desire to ensure your time, experience, and meal are spent enjoying your company and food not staring at your watch wondering about time. The entire restaurant was seated, served, and cleared with clean tables within the time I had to get and consume my own breakfast. So if you see a packed house on your arrival and don't desire that counter seat fear not - in this home environment your wait will be short and your day will lose no valuable time - well worth some minimal patience - you'll be glad you did. Your greeted as soon as you walk in by one or more of the extremely hardworking waitresses with a smile - your also sent off with a "Thank you. have a Good Day" by one more waitresses as you leave - both excellent touch of service class enhancing customer experience. I've never seen a more well-run diner or any restaurant from the waitresses to the cooks to the dishwashers the teamwork, attention to details, customer satisfaction, and to the incredible cleanliness of the restaurant despite the constant flow of customers - I've never seen a restaurant so clean and kept so clean the out the day. So what are you waiting for come to Mayberry where a warm greeting, clean home, exceptional food are calling YOUR name today...I'm returning perhaps I'll see you there....Bon Appetite!!

We read…read morethe restaurant's reviews and stopped by for a late lunch at 3 p.m. They lock the doors at 4 p.m. We were impressed. There were two people who came before us, and then a group of 14, and then my husband and me, followed by another bunch of people into a restaurant that was already packed. The waitresses did not even bat an eyelid. They were very polite and were busy doing their work. They were helping seat people as well as checking out people who had just eaten. We only waited about 15 - 20 mins. In the meantime, we chatted with the locals, who told us how often they came here just to eat the pies. When we got seated, the first thing we ordered and got started on were the AMAZING pies (chocolate PB for me and custard for my husband). Oh my God, they were out of the world yummy! We got to watch the ladies on the grill as they made the food. My husband ordered he Swiss steak and I had the double hamburger with all the fixings. The food is great but so are the people who work here --they are just so friendly, have worked here for years and truly care. You don't see this anymore. If I lived here, I would come here once a week to chitchat with them and eat PIE!! Make sure you come here. This place is a gem and has been here since 1948.
