Don't let the unassuming building exterior and parking lot fool you, this is a top-notch, excellent family dining establishment. We reside in Sterling Heights, by Lakeside Mall, where we are surrounded by lots of delicious restaurant options but we decided to explore the Oxford/Lapeer area and stopped at this Marios for a bite to eat. The prices are a bit on the high side but you certainly get what you pay for. The food is homemade and served at the proper temperature. I ordered the French Onion soup and loved it. The cheese atop the soup was smooth and not chewy. The broth, onions and even the croutons were cooked to perfection for this type of soup...ate/drank every bit of it. I also ordered the sweet potato fries and they were the best I have ever tasted. They were crispy and perfectly salted on the outside and soft/steamy on the inside...perfection! Mom had the country omelet. Mom had ice tea and I had coffee - our bill was $44.00 after tipping; a lot of $ in my opinion for two people to have brunch. The inside is very cozy with booths, tables and stools as sitting options. There are a couple of tv's with one or two of them NOT turned to sports...PTL and thank you. The service was excellent! Our server was very patient, knowledgeable and kind. My 86 yr mom has Parkinson's making her voice soft, decision making a challenge and often cranky because she misses her old self. Our server was very accommodating with my mom and with me as I can be running on a thin edge most of the time, lol. We loved it and hope to return soon. read more

As much as I love this place for the family friendly environment, the price gouging has got to end. I paid $50 + for the bare minimum amount of food. Service is always positive. read more

Had a great meal and the service was awesome too.. I believe her name was Dawn. Checked on us all the time. Very friendly smiled too..

We had such a great experience at this place to night. The food ess delicious and fresh . But iur waitress Dawn was amazing. She made us feel at home and anticipated our needs. AMAZING with our granddaughter, it is now her favorite place!!!We will differently be back soon! read more

Just a normal family dining place that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner? Absolutely not! Best tasting coffee, menu variety and exceptional service. This place is a well oiled machine with always familiar faces working. Yesterday's breakfast was no exception with the four of us all enjoying breakfast and coffee. Let me just say whatever one orders, there is disappointment or sending food back. Keep up the great job! read more

Among the things that customers enjoy or experience first hand by visiting this establishment themselves, I want to share a few things that stand out from my personal experience: food presentation looks absolutely beautiful every time; it's sizable and delicious just as much; inside, again from a personal point of view, seems like a family ambience but with a very friendly service yet gives you personal space to enjoy food at maximum! Very happy and I'd recommend to anyone who values the same things! read more

Marios Golden Nugget - This was Greek salad with side of very crispy Greek pita bread and amazingly delicious like no where else fresh grilled chicken! - New American Near Me - Oxford, Michigan

Food was good, service was great but $17 for a club sandwhich and fries is ridiculous!

Our waitress Dawn is amazing! She is always so happy and has a smile on her face! We love coming in and getting seated in Dawn's section!

The food was good but very pricey for what we received. Very nice atmosphere. Pancakes & Ham; Gyro; 2 child menus with drinks. $40.95 + tax & tip is $50! Nothing special. Service was friendly and good. Food was good not great. Not what I used to remember it as when I was younger. Desert seems to be a better value and deal than the meals. Good place to eat. Just plan on spending a lil more than you expect. read more

yummy breakfast Good food for the price Waitress was very nice/friendly if we're in the area we definitely will be back read more

Great service and great food! They also give you very generous portions when ordering sides like bacon or sausage. We will most definitely be back! read more

Food was great as usual but service was lacking and it wasn't busy. Once we got our order, the wait staff never checked back with us to see if we wanted anything to drink besides water and never refilled water. Never asked if we wanted anything else or dessert. read more

Excellent breakfast place with a rather large selection of not only breakfast items but a large lunch & dinner menu too. My wife loves the SFBA Omelette (spinach, bacon, feta, avocado) while our granddaughter goes for the different types of crepes or pancakes like Nutella or Berries and Cream. I tend to try different dishes every time we go but a classic for me is a Vegetarian Omelette with American Cheese smothered with Ciney Chili... Mmm-Mmm Good ! read more

Excellent staff Excellent food Came here years ago (18+) and it is still high quality food at a great value. The atmosphere is great as well as the decor. We will come back. Owners son is a very nice guy read more

Marios Golden Nugget - Located on east side of 24 and spit of Drahner - New American Near Me - Oxford, Michigan

Just a fantastic little breakfast place. They have an extensive menu for lunch and breakfast. I had the steak and eggs and was quite pleased. The service was very very fast. I can bet that if you want a top notch breakfast this is the place to be in this area! read more

Excellent food and customer service! The only con is that it's super overpriced. I recommend their berry crepe and burgers. Everything on the menu seems to be homemade and delicious but it'll bust the bank for a family dinner, you mise we'll get hibachi. read more

The food is good and the service is pretty good here they normally have quite a few servers working. The prices are pretty high here for most items on the menu. read more

The prices are outrageous! $20 for a burger & fries. Dinner for our family of three was $70+ dollars after gratuity. The food was ok but not worth the prices charged. Won't be going back. read more

I've already given mario's a 5 start review, but I wanted to update... My last order was a burger. Honestly, I'm sorry, but they're really not very good. The burger patty itself was overcooked, dry, and actually cold. I know that can be blamed on delivery, at least a little bit. The toppings and bun were FABULOUS though, and I have to give props for that. I just got an order this evening of their gyros, which are excellent. I asked in my instructions to add some ranch and one extra pita. Didn't get either. I was happy to honor an extra charge, but I not tell them that so I guess that's on me. That being said, the rest of my meal tonight was excellent! read more

No matter what I want, Mario's is my FAVORITE! They handle my asinine requests like lite lettuce in a salad (really I'm there for the toppings, but I like a hint of lettuce - lol) and even offered to make me some handmade chicken tenders one night because they were out of their normal ones. I've had an issue with my order twice out of at least 25+ orders in the last year and ya know what, they called me back and made it right. Love this place. Hubs knows when I'm grumpy this is the one way to make me happy again! read more

The food is pretty good. The biscuits were actually the best I've ever had. This was our second visit since we dont get to Oxford often. The problem is their seating everyone close together. We were one of three occupied booths with lots of open seating. The next 2 parties to arrive had multiple small children. The sat tham all right next to us instead of spacing diners out. Our meal is now ruined by squealing kids. Same thing last visit. I know they do it purely for their convenience but i hate it so much we won't be back. Consider your guests! read more

Breakfast is the meal that's home cooked. Went three times for dinner. I questioned if the meatloaf was homemade, instant potatoes and canned gravy. Hamburger was overpriced. Club sandwich was overpriced, and had tough lettuce and flavorless turkey. The steak was good and we were told that it was hand cut. Nice server and environment. read more

Nice little family diner! Staff is always friendly, the food is what you'd expect for a small diner. Good place for breakfast.

My favorite. Food great service great. Never have a problem with my order. I have always been a fan of the nugget!

Excellent mini Greek salad. Great Greek dressing, the BEST I have ever had. Robyn was my attentive server.

I moved to Oxford about a year ago and decided to stop in to try Marios Golden Nugget for breakfast. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered a chorizo and egg burrito and it was topped with homemade Chile. The food is exactly what it's meant to be, dinner food. It was excellently cooked and served in a timely manner. I will come back in the future. read more

If you want a good diner meal this is the place to go. Amazing prices and friendly staff. They are always so friendly. I have gotten many things but the Rueben is my favorite and it is large. Gets pretty busy but worth it. read more

Marios Golden Nugget - Rueben...amazing! - New American Near Me - Oxford, Michigan

Food was great. Our server was terrible. She never greeted us and just asked us what we wanted and we had to ask for everything. She never asked for refills she didn't do Jack. My water had no ice, the best part is after that she took 15 minuets to get our bill just to hand it to us crumbled out of her pocket. Not once did she ask us how our food was or anything. Or even a thank you for coming, morning staff is way more on top of it wouldn't recommend for dinner. read more

Very good food and great service! Definitely recommend this small personal business and will be returning again for seconds! :)

Great family-owned restaurants with wonderful home cooked meals. Best place to go for breakfast in the area as they have a large selection and everything is delicious. I especially love their Benedicts. They have daily specials that are homemade and provide a great variety. Stop by soon and you'll be glad you did. read more

2 separate times I found an object in my food! This last time I ordered a salad and chewed on a bandaid HOW DISGUSTING!!!

This place has really good breakfast besides the hash browns I had , the French toast , the eggs , the crepes were all really good , definitely my favorite breakfast place in town. read more

Love this place! Service is great. Staff is very friendly all the time and the greek salad with pink dressing is the best! I could drink the dressing ... so good! read more

A huge family diner. Met a few friends for lunch. Service was excellent. Ordered a fish sandwich, very large and fresh tasting. Chose coleslaw as side dish and it was quite good also. Very extensive menu. read more

We moved to the Oxford area almost 2 years ago, and we always enjoy eating at Mario's. We usually do take out, but have dined in a couple times as well. Every time their service is great and food delicious. Highly recommend! read more

$14 for a sausage egg and cheese on white and a coke. Asked for a refund. This is 50% higher than area restaurants. Just because you are established in Oxford doesn't mean you get to charge customers double! Do not go there and let them get away with this. Shame on them! read more

Rueben was the best ever also try the Siciliano chicken salad any salad at Mario's is always fresh and crisp.the best soups also. I also love the Lola salad with chicken. Check out the desserts and sundaes very good. Mmmm! The waitstaff is always friendly as is Mario when he is not working in the kitchen. The restaurant is always kept very clean. That's all for now see you at the Golden Nugget. read more

Nice family restaurant. Food is great and large portions too. Short ribs are excellent as is all we have tried in 4 trips here and we are half hour away. Will make more trips here. Prices are right as well as good service. read more

Marios Golden Nugget - New American Near Me - Oxford, Michigan

Rating on takeout only - portions were HUGE. Didn't care for the blue cheese dressing, but chicken pita was great!

Decent breakfast, but sub par service. Kitchen and servers seemed to struggle a bit getting breakfast all out together on time for just two of us. Too many breakfast options to in the area so most likely won't be back. read more
