Food may be great, but it's impossible to order by phone. I call, they put me on hold, after five minutes they come back to say the same or hang up. After six attempts I gave up. If you're going to be that busy it's time to expand the staff and restaurant for Pete's sake!!! read more

Not the most comfortable booths, but good food, nice portion size, and excellent service.

2 Eggs Belgian Waffle This place is amazing, the food is damn near perfect, atmosphere is nice and quiet, and the waiters are some of the nicest people in place read more

The food is okay. The professionalism is awful. The hostess demeanor is not good. We were waiting for one person in or party, the table was ready for us to be seated, and we were told we had to wait outside in the hot sun with my son that has a disability. They are not accommodating at all. If we didn't drive 45 mins for breakfast I would've left. We reserved for a party of 6 and 5 were here. They wouldn't even let my son and his grandmother with a disability stand inside, while they clean off another table for us to sit. Talking about the can only have a certain number of people in the diner at one time, but we're getting ready to be seated, so were counted into your head count. Makes no sense. This would be the last time I patronize this diner. read more

Marie's Diner - Door - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

My family and I have been trying to go to Marie's all together for a while but it's always so packed so early so we never got the chance. I had never been so I was skeptical but when we entered and were seated I was surprised to say the least, I really like their large pancakes and their loaded home fries, HIGHLY recommend trying this little place out, however I recommend getting there about 30 minutes before it opens so you have a chance of getting a seat. read more

Solid breakfast with an even better price. Don't know how they do it. Coffee isn't bad either. This is the go-to breakfast place around here (La Plata) if you want something good. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait awhile if you're not early! read more

No reason at all to give this place anything less than 5 stars. Service is phenomenal(Ms Theresa). Food came out in 10 minutes, visited at 12 noon! & the size of the pancakes cant be matched anywhere in the state of MD. read more

Marie's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

The home fries were not home fries. They were more along the lines of undercooked potato chunks. The sweet tea was WAY to sweet, to a point where it was not drinkable. We had a group of 5 , the wait was quite excessive, especially when there was a large table open the entire time we were waiting. read more

The best diner food ever! You will definitely leave full and happy!! Prices are very reasonable, and the portions are very plentiful!

First time @ Marie's Diner this morning - It started off with a 35 minute wait in a small waiting area, but they do have a texting system so you can wait in your car and be texted when your table is ready. Once your seated, the service is courteous, fast & accurate! Our waitress was named "Grandma" and she is the best! As you can see from the pic, the food was plentiful and tasted great! My wife had the Bacon, Eggs, Sausage & Grits w/Waffle and I had the Bacon, Sausage, Scrapple & Ham Omelet w/Pancakes that are as big as a plate! I highly recommend Marie's Diner, great food, great service and reasonable prices! read more

Nice!!!! I can't really tell you if Marie's serves anything else besides breakfast, which I think they do. To tell you the truth, I look forward to eating a good breakfast at this place. The breakfast is definitely worth the drive if you don't live in the LaPlata area. It's one of those places where you feel like you're getting a home cooked meal every time you sit down to eat. In my opinion, that says a lot about a restaurant. Definitely check it out. read more

The chipped beef it's so good!! I go every chance I get some money! And the biscuits lol

Poor service. The host was pretty rude when we asked about the wait times. So we took the hint that we weren't welcomed and left.

Some of the best food and service in the area. Make sure you get on the waiting list on Sunday morning. Otherwise you're not getting in. The pancakes are huge!!! read more

Just moved to the area and had heard about this place from a friend. Wow! It was SO good. I got the Country fried chicken and biscuits with gravy, with grits and English muffin! So much food! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the biscuits and gravy was some of the best I've had! The pancakes my kids got were the size of plates! My Husband got an omelet and was raving too! Plus they had Trappeys hot sauce, my fav! Friendly service and comfort food, what more can you ask? Definitely dining here more often! read more

I really enjoyed this place! I can't believe I've never been here before, and I only live about 5 minutes from it. To start, their menu is huge with a variety of breakfast/lunch/dinner items and the prices are very cheap compared to other restaurants! We ordered two egg and bacon sandwiches, a side of home fries, and 3 pancakes with 2 cups of coffee and our bill was under $20. That's unbelievable! The place was packed and it took us nearly an hour to get our food (including a 20 min wait time for a table) All of the food was delicious! The pancakes were extra fluffy as you can see. I will definitely be returning in the future! read more

Quiet little old school diner. I couldn't believe this place was packed at 3pm. Absolutley delicious chicken fried steak. Also that crab soup was so good. I've never had crab soup like it. This place probably gets very busy on the weekends. Im so happy I found this hidden gem. read more

A Charles County, MD local gem of a diner. I just started giving this place my business this year and I now wish I had done it sooner. Great for dine in or carryout orders, the customer service is great and they are efficient with getting you served correctly and promptly. I have mainly gotten breakfast food so far and its all been delicious. Going to start exploring the menu a lot more on my next few visits. Pricing is at a great value as well. read more

My party of 5 visited this diner on Dec 13 and had a delicious lunch. The young male waiter did serve us without gloves or mask. Which we realized but didn't comment. We ordered 4 meals to go. However, once home I opened the Catfish dinner to find a long black strand of hair on it. This was a complete taste change. The manager was reluctannt to call back. I had to call twice. The next day when he did, he wanted me to bring the dish back in and wanted to check with his food delivers to his restaurant He further declared he had no dark haired waitresses, which was a lie, the girl who took our order had very black hair I will not be going back, and just want my money returned. Sarah read more

I only have one gripe and it's not related to food, or the restaurant.....it's 2022 and a website in which I can order take-out without calling and being put on hold would be grand!!!! It's literally the one thing that stops me from ordering more often. read more

When I arrived at Marie's, I was told that there was an hour wait time and that 10 people were in front of me and my guest. (As you can see in the picture.) I waited in my car until 11:15am before going back in, to find out what position I was in due to the hour already passing. I was now told that after waiting an hour, there are now 14 guest in front of us. I asked how is it possible that after waiting an hour for 10 people to get service, I am now in position 14 with a two hour wait. The only response given was I don't know. I traveled from Oxon Hill MD to White Plains MD, just to be lied to and sit in my car for an hour and twenty minutes. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR PATRONIZE THIS PLACE AGAIN! NOT WORTH THE LIES! read more

Marie's Diner - Marie's Diner and Confirmation time! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Plata, Maryland

First timer. Definitely wont be the last time. Breakfast was great. A lot of food fr your buc and tastes great as well. The short stack of pancakes could feed a family of four. A couple could share a meal. I got a short stack breakfast (2 pancakes, 3 strips of bacon, 2 eggs for $6.99). Added a side of home fries. Had no idea thst i would get that much food! Didnt come close to eating it all. They should just give you a to go box off the break! Lol. My only complaint is that they dont warn you how much food you are going to get if you have not been there before LOL! Service was great! Definitely will be back. read more

Get here early!!!! Each time I visit this restaurant, there's at least a 45 minute wake. I've learned to deal with it because the food is so good! Large portions at very reasonable prices! I've never seen a staff member in a bad mood! I love it here! read more

I swear all around town all I hear is, " You gotta try Marie's Diner". Well... I tried it & I loved it. Sunday morning I got up & made my way down to Marie's & got me a pork chop breakfast & I just couldn't leave without trying at least one pancake. So, that's what I ordered & I was in Heaven eating breakfast at a diner - Stuffed, happy, & with a glass of milk. I waddled out of there with plans to visit again. I'll have to try dinner next. read more

Best restaurant in Charles county. Large portions and decent prices good service. Diner atmosphere. Great for families.

In town visiting daughter. The hotel I am staying at does not provide a quality breakfast, which Marie's does in spades. Staff is friendly and attentive, prices are more than reasonable. The facility is clean and tables are washed after every diner leaves. Breakfasts are served hot and the portions on the Omlet and 2 eggs with ham steak are beyond filling. I have not stopped at dinner time but the breakfast time is great. read more

Never disappoints! I always get the biscuits and gravy and my husband always gets the farm hand I believe it's called and we know it's always going to be delicious! read more

I'd read several reviews of this place before pulling up. This place gives a typical mom & pop type feel but be prepared to wait a while! We waited a little over an hour on a very long wait list for Brunch on Sunday. Wait staff was very friendly while helping us make a selection from the vast menu. I ordered the ribeye and eggs, cooked medium, and would have appreciated them cooking it for a little less time. Other than that the food was decent and came out quickly which is what we needed on this particular morning. Food was decently priced so no Real complaints here. Nothing particularly special but you do get a great amount of food for a good price. read more

Phenomenal spot to eat anytime of day or weekend.. get there early because it gets busy busy on Saturday mornings.

My family and I eat the pancakes, eggs, link sausage. This was great the eggs were unseasoned. Also got an omelette and French toast. That was good. Our waitress was attentive and great. read more

I love their food. The prices are great, and most of their staff are attentive. That is why they score a 3 of 5 stars. However, I went in for to pick up a to go order last week. None of the staff were wearing masks. I have noticed a growing number of staff not wearing masks in the last few months. I've seen workers from the kitchen not wearing masks for a long time. With the rapid spread of Covid this holiday season, I do not feel safe eating in or ordering out from Marie's Diner. I'm uncertain I can return as a customer even after this health issue passes. I am very disappointed with this business. read more

Great burgers. Never would have stopped if not for good reviews. Staff was very attentive. Busy place

The 411: this locally owned diner offers well executed classic American breakfast food at a more than competitive price. With lunch specials and a lunch menu, this place also offers solid diner food, making it a local favorite! I came here for breakfast with my girlfriend. The place looks rather small, but has ample seating. You might wait a few minutes before getting a table, but their turnover is surprisingly fast. There were 3 groups before us, but we only waited 5 mins. I ordered my breakfast go-to: veggie omelette with homefries, white toast, a side of bacon and obligatory side of scrapple. Scrapple was well executed: crispy edges and soft, yet thick and nice and tender on the inside. Bacon was yummy. 3 nice slices, not thick, but cooked perfectly. My veggie omelette was wonderful! Came with mushrooms (tasted fresh, not canned) finely diced bell peppers and tomatoes, onion and LOTS of ooey gooey provolone cheese. Can't stress how much cheese they put in my omelette! You could tell the eggs were whisked with milk to make it extra fluffy and moist...classic southern style egg. The homefries were pretty good. Extremely generous portions of large, kumquat sized potato with finely diced onions. I personally prefer a crispier and smaller chunk potato hash, but these weren't bad. My girlfriend's two egg breakfast appeared to be cooked perfectly: over easy with a nice runny yolk. Service was fantastic. My coffee was topped off numerous times and our server was very friendly. My large breakfast with two sides of meat, as well as my girlfriend's meal with two cups of coffee came to $22. That is such a steal!!! Had to tip $10 just to feel less guilty about the low price. Bottom line: this place is inviting and has good food being served to the locals. I would highly recommend this place over IHOP and pancakes plus, both of which I've had negative experiences at. This place is hands down the best place for a nice, homey meal in La Plata! read more

My husband and I absolutely adored this local institution of a diner in Charles County. The staff are the best, they know all the regulars, give fantastic efficient, cheerful, and knowledgeable service every time in this really busy restaurant. They have great cooks, waitress, and service crew giving such generous top quality food at great value prices. You won't be hungry here with left overs for your next meal and will be pleasantly surprised when you see your bill. Favorites are the omelets, light as air waffles, pancakes, crispy scrapples, steak or pork chop farmer style breakfast, grits and oatmeal bowls, waffle Sundays with vanilla ice cream, strawberry and whipped cream topping. Go and experience country hospitality on any given day. Get there early if you don't like a wait, other wise you can relax in your car until they call you on your phone when a table is ready. If I can give this place a six star, I would. read more

They have great pancakes. Customer service is great. If your looking for a great breakfast this is the place.

Decent basic breakfast spot. Very reasonable priced and large portions. You can actually share a meal with another or have food left over to eat later. The pancakes are the size of a full sized plate. Very busy spot. I felt they moved efficiently. If you're in the area and looking for simple food give this diner spot a try. read more

This place lacks the understanding of customer service. We'd arrived, told the wait to be 70 minutes so, we decided to wait. 82 minutes later, no text summoning us to a table. We go in to inquire and was rudely told they don't know. The hostess offered for us to speak to a manager. The manager was completely unapologetic and simply made excuses as to why we'd not been seated. He offered nothing more than "we do not know how much longer". He showed no concern for our inconvenience or interest in our business. If you've got time to waste, not hungry and wish to be offended or mistreated, this is the restaurant to visit. Best of luck to them but, I got the message loud and clear from the manager. read more
