    What I was Ordering... French toast... Pancakes and eggs they ask you before if you would like cinnamon on the French toast.

    Don't sleep on this place Great service... food is made nice and fast great Breakfast for the right price can't really beat it to be Honest smokes Denny's and cracker barrel any day of the week if you ask me. I went right and 7 a.m. was nice and quiet good for a fast or casual Breakfast.

    I never been before but had it bookmarked for years. There's maybe three 2 person tables. The rest is counter service. Maybe 10-12 seats. We arrived around 1pm and had to stand around a few minutes to get 2 seats. Like everyone says. All the waitresses are good looking and young. Its just something you notice. Friendly but slow service. Theres only 1 cook then there's a girl who toasts the bread etc. Worth the wait so pass the time talking to who you're with. Really good breakfast meats and omelettes. Those home fries are delicious. Its the thinly sliced potatoes. Not those cube looking potatoes I can't stand. Options to do half order for just about everything. Cheap prices but its cash only. $18 for breakfast for 2. Definitely worth checking out

    They have a nice juke box, too.

    This is an excellent little diner that's been here for about 60 years. It's been here for 60 years, yet my dumb ass wasn't insightful enough to eat here until last Wednesday. I am remiss. After having a fantastic and FILLING breakfast (Mike's omelette, toast, and home-fries) a few days ago, I told myself that I'd come back soon and try a burger. I told myself that the burger was good, I'd write a review. Well, I did, it was, and I am...I'm sitting here in the parking lot writing this. So, I had the cheese burger...and it was excellent. Like a BumBum Brazil contest, this burger starts out with great meat. It's perfectly cooked (which, for me, means a little pink in the middle and a little crispy around the edges), it's perfectly dressed, and it comes WITHOUT too much bread. Speaking of bread, I paid $6.95 (plus a nice tip for the great waitresses) for two sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Sweet deal. Two sandwiches? I also tried the sausage burger (cheese and pickles on top). It, too, was great. The service was great. The place has a classic diner feel; it shows it's age, but it's perfectly clean...even the dumper. I will definitely be back. 4 stars! The extra (fifth) star is because the juke box is pretty good. Also, Jefferson Express's cabaret-style Ms. Pac-Man machine isn't rigged...and the joystick works...56,000 points baby.

    I got the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich with a half order of Home fries with onions to-go -- SO good. I 100% recommend. The staff was extremely friendly and their prices are very affordable. I will most definitely be returning soon!

    Good food great people!

    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

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!

There is plenty of it however this may be a problem for less abled body persons. Most of the folks that come here during the week have been coming for years and years so are not as young as they used to be. Not really anywhere to drop them off. When I came in there was no one at the front entrance so I proceeded to the please seat me sign. I literally stood there longer than it took my food to come out. There were maybe 10 tables. Still work to be done here. Smaller than the old location with tables and booths all within view as you stand there. I was ready to order by the time the server made it to my table to take my drink order and I'm one to waffle over my orde for a bit. Friendly server and efficient once she got started. Got pancakes sausage eggs n potatoes. All came hot and tasty. And you know what? When i put the butter on top it actually melted. Yum. They bring the credit card machine to your table and the server does it all leading to that uncomfortable moment of do you want to leave a tip? Suggest you bring cash for the tip so you can leave what you would like without awkwardness. Give it a few months to get up to speed and drop your less able folks as you enter the lot. Close as you will get. Its a bit of a hike

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!!

The egg white veggie wrap was nicely portioned without being over the top; a little mustard and hot sauce was required to complete the profile, but that's fine. The veggie omelette was good, with a big portion of hash browns and a decent quantity of veggies in the omelette. Hot sauce and mustard were also our friend here, but that works for me. The staff were very friendly and attentive, even beyond what we would have expected. All told, this was an excellent experience if you're looking for a fast paced diner breakfast.

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.
