We have tried restaurants all around Tacoma for breakfast. By far, Mary Mary's is the best place for breakfast (and lunch). The staff are very friendly. The service is fast. They keep my coffee cup full, and the food is excellent. read more

Nice little spot.. was beyond what we expected .from the outside looks tiny but the seating area is pretty big. The food was amazing!! We tried the all meat omelette adding a few things trying the hash browns and home fries. 5 eggs!!! Was huge and very filling. The portions were great and worth the prices they charge. Fresh coffee, great service ! Think we found a new spot for breakfast, you won't be disappointed.!! read more

I'm still holding a grudge for ordering a slice of cheesecake to go and getting home to find someone else's leftovers in the to go box. But other than that this place is has good food. I love their biscuits and gravy, it's one of the best I've found. The coffee is watered down. Because the full meal deal is so good and they seat so many people I give them 4 starts. I keep coming back but always remember to check your to go box so you won't be disappointed. read more

This review is about coming in about 2 months ago so sorry it was late. They are open till 3pm daily. I arrived at 230pm ordered lunch then was told I had to be out by 310pm as they would be leaving. They should have said something before I ordered. Eaten there before and it's a good place but waitress was rude. Maybe u should close At 230 so u can give patrons time to eat. read more

Delish! Best breakfast around. Huge portions! Nice staff! They wont let me post review without typing a book so this part has nothing to do with my visit. read more

Large one room "bingo hall" type set up when you walk in. I went in for breakfast and 90% of the diners were over the age 65. I felt out of place as soon as I walked in, everyone looked at me. I was definitely the youngest person there. The wait staff was short, borderline rude. The food took almost an hour to get out which didn't make sense since almost everyone around us was already eating so I didn't see where the hold up was. The coffee was horrible. It tasted like mud. The food was Unimpressive when it came out. Denny's would have been a better option and I hate Denny's. I won't be returning. read more

Called in and ordered a couple of clubhouse sandwiches to-go. While the sandwiches weren't still crunchy by the time we opened the boxes, we didn't expect them to. The bread wasn't soggy, the sandwich was tasty. I ordered mine on rye, marbled rye and it was delicious. I opted for the side salad with ranch. It was crisp, and the dressing was yummy. Love this place! read more

Great food, very friendly wait staff, clean and homey atmosphere. It's my favorite breakfast spot in Parkland/Spanaway.

I came in to have breakfast before I needed to go into an online meeting. my laptop needed charging so I tried to find a table where there was an outlet so that I could plug in my laptop. I had to move 3 times because none of their wall outlets worked. They had a back dining room that no one was using so I asked the waitress if I could use it and sit back there to eat and conduct my meeting. The waitress was very kind and she even refilled my coffee while I was I was in there. A woman came in the room while I was on a phone call and rudely asked are you going to be in here long? since I was on the phone I put my finger up say to hold on because I was on the phone. She walked out of the room, I got off the phone and she came back in and I said sorry I was in a meeting and the reason why I I had to use that room, she didn't care what I had to say, she told me to get out of the room because I didn't have her permission. I said sorry again and that it was fine I would leave the restaurant, she said good, very rudely. I went to pay for my breakfast and I told the waitress how horrible the owner treated me! I also saw the way she was treating her staff and I felt so bad for them. She needs a lesson in how to be nice as well as how to operate a business, because treating people the way she does, will one day bring horrible Karma her way!!! I don't recommend giving her any business because she doesn't know how to treat her customers. The place was old and not very clean, it was very cluttered. read more

I am visiting my sister who comes here every week! The place was packed. I was so moved as during the rush the owner or manager stood in the center of the room and asked for attention! She then thanked everyone for coming and supporting their business and keeping them going! WOW! There were tears in MY eyes and I'm sure many others. We sometimes go somewhere thinking with an entitled heart! Yet here was the owner showing her gratitude for her clientele! Support these businesses that are grateful for your support and SHOW IT! Let's talk with our wallets! Thank you manager/owner, the food was great, but your heart was even better! read more

Was there for breakfast this week. Walked in with a mask and soon noticed NO ONE was wearing them. Booths were all full. Not separated like they're supposed to be. Servers were wearing a mask but no gloves read more

Walked in just to order dessert. Not friendly. Not helpful. It seemed that they didn't know what to do with me. ‍

The only place in town that never disappoints. Great food, clean atmosphere, great waitresses and Mary is a kind and caring person. We have become regulars and Mary, Mary's is our first choice every time. read more

Walked in on a busy Sunday morning and was very pleased to find out that MaryMarys is spacious, clean and great for social distances. You have to seat yourself which wasn't obvious because there was no sign but that was not a problem at all. Within 3 minutes of being seated, we were served coffee and asked if we want water which I love because I hate wasting water. Our order was taken after about 10 minutes of being seated and we were eating our delicious , freshly cooked food about 10 minutes later MAX. Everyone was friendly, service was great, prices were reasonable, the place was clean , plenty of parking , I have nothing negative to say. Very enjoyable experience read more

Hands down the best breakfast in the area! Everything from the amazing customer service to love in the food you can't go wrong here!!! Absolutely delicious, huge portions and great prices!!! read more

Our group has gone to Mary Mary's Café often and we have been pleased with the quality of food and service. The prices are moderate but the portion size is normally generous. I really think it's worth your time to check this establishment out! read more

Mary Mary's Café at 16511 Pacific Ave S, Spanaway - simple comfort food. Went in today and they were busy but the coffee is always hot and plentiful. Typically they are very fast but I guess our order was lost in the shuffle. The server was very apologetic and we were just going to pay for our coffee and call it good. But the owner - Mary - came out and really apologized and comped our meal. Even though I said we weren't mad - it happens. Glad we stayed one of the best breakfast ever. More importantly they made their mistake right big hats off to them for taking care of a customer read more

It's a wonderful place to grab some nourishment & the owner Mary & staff are very friendly! Great home cooked food ! Go early on Sundays if you want a spot to sit because they get VERY busy!! read more

Wow I don't even know where to start. We walk in, sit down and the nice lady that sat us got our drinks for us. Fifteen minutes goes by and no one has came to take our order. I decided to let someone know (even though I shouldn't have to). They took our order and then the owner came by and said she was sorry "someone is always stealing her tables). Okay fine whatever, stuff happens. So then we order... my food comes out wrong so I politely let them know. They apologized and took it back to fix. They brought it out again and it was wrong again. I again politely let her know I don't want it fixed a third time it's fine just take it off (they put the bill on our table right after they brought the food out) The waitress said ok I'm so sorry, and I told her it's not your fault, no worries. Well then I am waiting for a new check for about 10 minutes and nothing.... I walk up and told them to take my clubhouse off the bill so I can pay and we can leave. Our waitress comes to the table and said her mom is not working and she can't remove it so she wanted me to pay the whole bill and then call tomorrow and talk to her mom. I told her I am not paying for something that I did not get. She then ripped the bill off the table, walked away and said "oh my f****** god". At this point I am pissed, we had our 7 year old daughter with us and I was very nice considering our visit. I walked up and I said, "excuse me, that is not okay and how dare you say that with my daughter at the tAble. She came back to the table and had the nerve to say, "I'm sorry you took that wrong , that comment was towards myself and I am embarrassed." I told her I am DONE with this conversation. I went up as she was talking crap to the other waitress and I paid. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! MARY'S DAUGHTER WAS A NIGHTMARE. read more

The food was what I expected, homestyle flavor. Nothing amazing but good. The service was just ok. It was busy but nobody came over when we came in for a while so it was a bit frustrating seeing them check on other tables that had been there and didn't bend anything before saying hello at all. read more

I wanted to like this place, but the service is terrible if your not a "regular". To me the service at a restaurant is just as important as the food being served. Our waitress actually rolled her eyes while taking our order, then refused to serve us any longer. Wont be back. read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast and noticed they had Schnitzel for the daily special. Tried it and it was delicious!!!! It came with German style Red cabbage and German potato salad. This is the best Schnitzel I've had in a long while, what a pleasant surprise. Although this restaurant isn't in the best location nor is it easily found - it's a worthwhile visit. If I could offer them a suggestion it would be to get a better brand of coffee. read more

Have eaten here many times since they first opened for biz. Was super wonderful, friendly, fast service, told friends, treated pals for meals. Then...service got disorganized, prices went up, wait staff & owner not too friendly, orders not prepared as before. Last visit was so awful the health dept. needed to be notified. I sent the photos to prove what was wrong with just one order. To date, based on Pierce County Healthy Dept. Restaurant Review Records...I have not returned. Same violations with each visit. Please, owner Mary Sloan, fix the issues. When I spoke with my waitress Tricia, about the fly in my salad, black laced lettuce, ice cube with black frozen thing, & old food stuck on the knife, she asked if that was all. I paid my $36.06 bill in full & left. No one apologized. Later I called the owner. She was irate & doubted my experience. She became verbally rude when I mentioned emailing the photos to the health dept. Then she demanded I come in & have a face to face and identify myself. . Based on her tone, I declined. May I suggest Mary Mary's Cafe comply with the health dept. findings & fix the violations. Correct the bad attitude customer service. We enjoyed your place...way back when. read more

We live right down the street, so for a very long time this was our primo breakfast spot on the weekends. Their menu is pretty comprehensive, and the food IS very good. Lately, however, we've had a real problem getting service in a timely manner here. We get seated and wait for quite some time before even getting coffee and water. Longer to get our order taken. Once ordered, our food took 45 minutes to come out from the kitchen. The people who sat down next to us a while after we did? Got their food right after we got ours; maybe 10-15 minutes after they ordered. Very inconsistent. They're great people, and very friendly, and the food is AWESOME. Just make sure you've got time to wait for your service and food when you come if you're unlucky enough to end up waiting....it really does seem to be a roll of the dice whether it happens to you or not. read more

We wanted for 20 minutes seated, and no one came to take our order. It wasn't that busy. Second time we have had sorry service just like that. WE Just walked out. read more

Finally decided to try this place after driving by it everyday for the past 5 years. You seat yourself, which isn't obvious unless there was a sign I didn't see and it's a bit odd because there is a mix of single tables and tables grouped together....for those who aren't comfortable sharing a table with strangers, this could be awkward. They were pretty busy so it wasn't a surprise that there was a little wait to get our order taken, nor was it a surprise that it took a little longer to get our food. I will say that they need to work on the timing of orders, the people who sat down before us got their food after us and the people who sat down shortly after us got their food right after us. The food was good and I was pleasantly surprised that the hash browns were actually fully cooked... it surprisingly hard to find a restaurant that can cook them right. It was worth the wait. read more

Large open area with adjustable seating. The food was ok for "pre"pared. The SOS gravy was canned & hash browns reconstituted.. The Omelette was good with lots a sausage and cheese..coffee seemed light tasting.. My personal issue was with staff. They were curt with each other which ended with doing the same to me.. read more

Bright-clean friendly atmosphere. Special today Eggs Benne, pretty good. The Strawberry waffle I was told was good and the recommended waffle was the pecan. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Was wanting to find a close good breakfast spot. It was ok but not anything great. Service was a little slow, & they had run out of soup. Might try again sometime but didn't seem to be much bang for the buck. Would rather drive into sumner for brunch.... read more

I have been here a couple times and have never had a bad experience. Great food , the sos is the best as well as pancakes and Denver omelette. Service could be a little better but food makes up for it! Only open until 3 and weekdays are always crowded. Prices are very good for the plates that are huge. I don't think there is a kids menu but they have an option for a splitting fee! I will continue to eat at Mary Mary's read more

The staff is so sweet and Mary, the owner, is nothing short of awesome! We have been here several times and have never left disappointed or hungry. I am a sucker for hand cut fries and Mary Mary's has some delicious fries. They are golden brown, thick cut, and seasoned perfectly. I have had breakfast and lunch items and so far haven't had anything short of amazing. I wish Mary Mary's was open for dinner though. read more

Will never eat at this place again! The way my family and I were treated at this establishment should never happen. They are rude and made it very clear they didn't want to serve us. Thanks for the lesson in racism Mary Mary's! read more

Great service and great food. I've eaten at Mary Mary's a handful of times (always with my in-laws, since they live close and are regulars there) and we're always greeted with a genuine, warm smile and a 'Welcome'. There is A LOT of "regulars" at this place and the waitresses all seem to be on a first name basis with every table. That being said, when a place has SO MANY "regulars", it has to be a good place to eat. Would you eat something you only kind of liked so often? Stop in, you'll like it :) read more

Very, very rude server! I have dined here about 4-5 times and have always asked for substitutes for food I can't eat. This time I was rudely informed that they don't substitute. Well I let her know they have always made substitutes for me and she rolled her eye and said ok with a condescending tone! I was very upset and stormed out of the building! Also to note that when we sat down we were at the back of the restaurant and she kept helping new customers that would sit down way after we we sitting. We waited a while! Beware, don't eat here! read more

Fluffy buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage gravy are wonderful. Coffee is good. Service was friendly.

The 5 egg omelet and chicken fried steak was delicious, the service was very good and friendly. Oh, and my coffee cup never got empty. I went on a Saturday morning, it was busy and yet I didn't have to wait very long to get my order and was surprised that they got my food out to us sooner than I expected. Will definitely return !!!! read more
