This place has been missed, an OG community staple! I highly recommend ordering the Hatter's Luncheon so you can get a little bit of everything. You also have to try the daily tea special. The restaurant is cute, with an eclectic Alice in Wonderland vibe. If you are planning an early lunch, get there before they open, otherwise there will be a line (tells you how good it is). Not sure they've built up their staff yet to handle a full restaurant so when it fills up fast you might have a wait...but it's worth it I promise. read more

My first impressions were that this place needs more servers and more team work. Seems that we had to wait awhile for drinks and food to come out. The hot tea was great! My lunch dish not so much. I had a fried green tomato half sandwich/salad combo. With an almond scone. The green tomato was soggy and had 0 flavors. The bread also became soggy. Salad greens were crispy. The raspberry vinaigrette was a disappointment. Tasted nothing like what it should have. Now the scone just a lumpy heavy dough of bland. Sadly I shall not be recommending it or returning any time soon. Perhaps if they tighten up their menu, service and ambience. The could learn a thing or two from another similar restaurant in St Mary's, who does an excellent job with food and beverages. But most importantly atmosphere and customer service is absolutely essential for a successful business to thrive. read more

We went here today for lunch, ordered the green fried tomatoes for an appetizer...ugh, tasteless! I ordered the"Dapper Hatter sandwich, won't order again, and I'm not a picky eater, came with a petite fries that were thickly cut and no seasoning.. Now my husband did order the tuna salad sandwich which he said it was good,he also liked the bread pudding. He did also mentioned that this restaurant is expensive for what you get. Sorry..give this restaurant a thumbs down! make sure you have a lot of time on your hands because they have a small staff. read more

This place was totally cute. Not my choice of places to go into but the girls loved it and I was amongst 6 of them 4 women and 2 pre-teens so we ended up here. Really cute and girly. The girls loved it. I actually enjoyed myself. The atmosphere was very Alicey in Wonderlandy. So you may gather was the theme. The staff was wonderfully friendly. They knew it was our first time and was great in making recommendations. . There was so much tea to choose from so I let the ladies choose and tried Chai Tea for the first timel. That shit's delicious!! Good choice Oprah. The food included a combo which was called Tea Fares. I got the soup of the day, Italian Wedding and Tuna Salad sandwich. Surprisingly everything was delicious for what seemed liked finger foods and scones. read more

The tea shop appears to have merged with RED MOOSE. So you will enjoy the best of both menus'. The signature burgers are simply overwhelming. If you have an appetite, then this is the place to go. The staff was friendly, service during my visit(lunchtime) was not very fast. 1-1/2hrs from sit down to check, which you have to give to your waiter/waitress. I would try them one more time maybe during dinner to see if the wait is better. read more

It's a pity that they are only open 11am to 2pm during the weekdays because the food here is superb! And I mean, slap to momma daddy grandma and grandpa superb. Luckily, I'm off on Mondays. I used to hear that the restaurant is expensive, but you get so much food for the money. Chicken Tortellini soup - To die for! Shrimp Crêpe - Good! Raspberry Chai - Delicious! Bread Pudding - Awesome! Is it better than Wee Pub's? It's a toss up, both a great. I will be back. read more

This is my absolute favorite place for a nice lunch and a pot of tea. The crepes are fantastic with plenty other lunch options. The owner and employees are lovely. I come here alone and with my daughters and it's always an enjoyable experience. They have little frills, boas, beads and hats for the girls to put on. It wouldn't be a proper tea party without them, right? Finally, a tip for anyone not familiar with the shop or even those who are. If you are looking for a fast lunch option just let your server know. They will always try to work with you. The food is made to order. It's fresh and worth waiting for but will take longer to prepare than your average restaurant, especially during the lunch rush. All in all, The Hatter deserves the five stars I have given them. read more

I had vanilla chai tea, broccoli & cheddar cheese quiche, and fresh fruit. Then we shared the banana pudding and triple chocolate cupcakes (they are huge!). Cupcakes were amazing!!! The other 3 in my group had shrimp crepe, lorraine quiche, and buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything was great! I personally liked the lorraine quiche better. Fruit was fresh. Tea was really good! A little higher priced than expected. read more

This place is a cute little restaurant in St. Mary's. I stopped and ate by myself because hubs was fishing and I was sick of it. The food is decent for what it is. Pricing was fair. I had their special and it was good. I would have preferred my Monte cristo to be deep fried and not soggy. The tomato soup was ok. Cheese on top was burnt so kinda ruined it. The sweet tea of the day was perfection. Service was ok,nothing bad but nothing great either. read more

Mad Hatter Tea Shop - From a wedding I attended! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Marys, Georgia

OMG is right! Fantastic Food - I had to try it all (not really...but a lot of it). From soup to salad to sandwich and then to shrimp crepe, and let's not forget the dessert. I fell in love. For a "foodie" this is "hog heaven". Going back this weekend with my RED HAT SISTERS, including the RH G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised In the South) and I can't wait. Yummy. We travel from Jacksonville... and it's worth it. Everyone LOVED it. A must try. Mad Hatter Tea Shop is attractively decorated...maybe a little "girly" (which I love). I have to say I was surprised by the men dining. I guess the food is so good the men to go, too. Now that says something. read more

Now officially called the Red Moose. Good lunch place but with limited hours. Nice service and pretty good food for the price. The blood red paint accents in the decor are less than appealing coupled with the drab grey throughout. Could be so much more! read more

The Mad Hatter Tea Shop bread pudding was mentioned in the June 2010 issue of Southern Living. As we were leaving St. Mary's we stopped for a carry out order of bread pudding. Southern Living was right on about this place. The pudding is not heavy, has lots of cinnamon and is served with a dollop of whipped cream. The bread pudding is comfort food at it's best! You can bet that I'll be back for the bread pudding and lunch. read more

Omg!! Where do I start?!? Okay so I saw this place when I first got here and have been planning on taking my daughter here for a while. So I finally did and boy am I ever glad I did!! I got this lunch tea special thing that came with half a sandwich and soup or salad, or pasta salad i think..i dont know i got the soup and rosemary ham sandwich but I'm weird and don't like ham so I asked if I could trade it for chicken with the same fixins, it also came with an amazing scone with creme and jam . Kaycie got the kids turkey and cheese with chips and a little baby size cookie. Our food came fast and service was great and always with a smile. This place has a little home town diner feel with a twist. The tea was the best tea I've ever had..my fav was aveda teathe until now..I got the hatter blend or something of that nature and they put cute little sugar cubes and tea pot with cups, honey, and a cute little cup of cream. My three year old went nuts!! We had the best time together! I will come back here probably way more often than I should lol I love!! This place. read more

Best sweet tea in town!! I love all the different flavors, and I always get the "lunch tea" when I go. Scones are perfect. :)

Mad Hatters is my favorite lunchtime stop in St. Mary's. The sandwiches and scones are delicious and I think their tea selection is ample. The service is a bit slower but you're in the south. They also make fantastic cakes -- I ordered a carmel apple cake as a grooms cake and people liked it more than our wedding cake! read more

I loved the tea selection and how it was served, i had a buffalo chicken sandwich and soup it was delicious! and then to Finnish it off i had a Boston cream muffin the was moist and just sooo good! I cant wait fr my next visit. we both ordered our own a tea and our bill was around 20 dollars for 2! read more

Mad Hatter is a great shop for 'ladies' lunches.. Unique menu with healthy and interesting choices, and love the teas. Did not give it more stars because the last time we were there, the waitress knocked a glass of tea into my lap as she was clearing the table, and while she apologized profusely (my clothes were soaking wet), and offered me a fresh glass of tea, there was nothing from management - not an apology, not an offer of dessert, or offer to 'comp' my meal. The staff stood in the kitchen door and showed their amusement. Great place to eat, but don't know if I'll go back. read more

The busier they get, the worse the service gets. I've tried a few different sandwiches and they're fresh and made to order. I enjoy that they change the tea and soups every day. read more

5 stars for food but because they are very limited with being open I would say its more like 2 star hours. banks in the 50's had better hours then this place, but don't let it take from the quality of food and service and of course the tea. just wished they were open for brunch and weekends. read more

For starters, when we walked in and asked to be seated they disregarded us and seated the people that walked in after us. When we were finally seated, it took some time to get our drinks and they weren't too great either. I love tea, but the tea here tasted like dish soap. After waiting some time for the drinks that tasted horrible we just wanted to leave, but the waitress was pushy and insisted we eat something because the food supposedly comes out fast. So we decided to get two blueberry scones and they were mushy and tasted like oatmeal. read more

Been coming here for over 10 years on a regular bases absolutely the best lunch place around great owner and staff friendly and do their job really well the food is always fresh, tasty and over all great . Wish they would open for dinner!!!!!!!! read more

I was really excited to dine here. A friend had brought me a salad and sandwich "to-go" from them once and I really enjoyed it. So, I dragged my husband and we had lunch here. The decor is quite cheesy. I get it, it's a tea shop, but... first... they have hardly any teas at all and the inside feels like a nursing home cafeteria. My husband and I both ordered the lunch portions of a sandwich, for which I was actually pretty ticked off when I saw how small it was for nearly $12!!! It was literally half a sandwich and my husband got a tiny little salad and I got what looked like stale Lays potato chips. The service was SUPER slow. The only good thing was the scone we got at the end. The scone and the cream was the best part of the day actually. Our bill came to nearly $40 for two of us (no free re-fills on coffee.... like really... the coffee is just Folgers.....) and we left STILL hungry. Gordon Ramsey needs to pay this place a visit. read more

Wasn't too happy today, I usually have a good experience. But I had no chicken on my chicken grown up grilled cheese which was my choice of meat for the sandwich... Also the soup of the day was chicken and cheese tortellini soup, which didn't have a single piece of chicken either. I said something to the waitress and she did nothing and told me that there was chicken in both... Kind of disappointed with the service and food today read more

Food is very good, but go when you have no time restraints as service leaves something to be desired.

The main idea of this entire establishment is that it is a tea house and sandwhich shop. This is where I was thrown my first curveball at this bussiness. They only serve a couple of "daily" brews and they have a very limited selection of sandwiches and other food items. The tea that they served was also sub-par and they didn't even offer a hot tea brew for the day so all I could have was either a cold blackberry or raspberry brew. read more

My friends and I ate here for lunch and we ordered a variety of chicken dishes. After we tasted the chicken we all sort of looked around at each other and I smelled mine. My girlfriend said exactly what we all were thinking...is the chicken spoiled? Considering that two of my friends were pregnant, we weren't pleased at all. They didn't even finish their dishes. This place needs a sanitary inspection, like many places in this town. read more
