Yes!! Finally a place that makes good biscuits and gravy. Been to 3 places this week and was very disappointed in the first 2. You can tell it's a place that attracts "regulars" as the waitress seemed to know everyone's name. Not real easy to see from the road but definitely place worth looking for. Inside it's just one big room but it's kind of cute how they have it decorated. Lots of stuff to look at on the walls but not over cluttered like some places get. I'll have to go back and try it for lunch one day. read more

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

Classic diner out of the way off s pacific ave... great food, nice wait staff... busy sometimes, but that's how it goes...

Visited this restaurant for a meeting with a fairly large group and was supremely impressed. There might be places with a fancier facade, but rest assured, these people are professionals that know what they're doing. Friendly service, excellent food, and as fast as lightening. The fountain soda machine was even perfectly calibrated. Looks and feels like a quaint local cafe, but it is much much more. If you're near this place, it would be a silly mistake to pass it by. You don't get much better than this. Great job everyone! And thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

I place close to home where I can go and get a hot plate of SOS's and know it's gonna be done right is always a plus. With breakfast being the most important meal of the day in my opinion, if your gonna treat yourself to something close to a home cooked breakfast you gotta make sure you know where to go. If I want my biscuits n gravy then I know where to go. I don't mess around folks, I know a good thing when see it. When I say it's good..you gotta check it out at least once. You can't lose. Thank me later read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants the waitresses are friendly and on the ball good food reasonable prices great service I eat here to to three times a week since it's on my way to work I stop for coffee in the morning always greeted sometimes they have a coffee set an on the counter waiting five stars is an enough they should get 10 read more

I don't know what took me so long to try this place! They have a breakfast special with two breakfast biscuit sandwiches and hash browns. There aren't many good restaurant choices in Spanaway, but this one is great! read more

My son and I were on our way to the Sea-Tac Airport and found this great breakfast cafe. The service was terrific. Our eggs, hash browns and biscuits were delicious. My son asked for jalapeños in his eggs and the cook did him right. My coffee cup was always refreshed quickly. Mary and her daughter visited with us and made us feel so welcome. We were so happy to find this gem. read more

You know I want to give this place a higher rating, cause the first few times we have gone there had been great! Fast service, good food, good price, and so close. But the last few times we have gone, the service has been going downhill. We waited an hour for our food, and no updates, no reasons given. We tried going today, we sat down at a table and after 15 minutes of nobody even going in our direction, we got up and left. Not going back. read more

Very limited restaurants in Spanaway for breakfast. This restaurant has really good food and wonderful waitresses. It is just a shame that the owner, Mary Sloan, is SO RUDE ! I do NOT understand how all these nice waitresses work for her. If she were smart, she would stay in the kitchen and cook and let her waitresses work the floor. God forbid that you tell her that your coffee is not hot ! read more

gave this place 3 tries thinking maybe it was a bad day. i preferer crispy hashbrowns and requested such. getting what was barely out side mash potatoes, even after sending them back,when they came back they were cooked about as much as regular hashbrowns. being told by waitress to try the homefries as they're crispier i did. what i got resembled boiled potatoes. in addition i got the same results with meat ect being undercooked. will not be going back read more

customer service was okay. after we got our food our server left and didn't ask if we needed anything else and i guess that's fine but we ended up waiting so long we actually had to get up and ask if we can get coffee refills and some syrup for our food... and then within 2 bites we already got our check lol honestly wouldn't recommend and definitely won't be going back. thanks read more

Consistently delicious food for a good price! I always get SOS over fresh biscuits and deep fried homefries. My husband gets some sort of omelet and always leaves satisfied. Never disappoints! It's a small-town feel, seat yourself, and chat with your waitress. I recommend to everyone in the area! read more

Wow what a change! We have been eating at this restaurant for a couple of months and received great service and good food. But Today for breakfast, but wow what a change. The waitress served our food and came by once after to leave the ticket to pay. Never to be seen again. My Chicken Fried steak was awful. I wouldn't serve that in my home why would i pay for the privilege in a restaurant. Processed Meat(?) patty that was breaded (twice) then fried. i opened the patty trying to find meat. a lot of batter/breading but not what i would call meat. really not sure what to call it. So trying to accept that my choice was simply the bad one, i just left the entire gravy covered patty on the plate and attempted to eat the eggs and hash browns. even those were not exactly tasty and didn't finish. But as i said the waitress never came back. Went to pay the bill and the same waitress magically appeared! she asked if everything was alright and i responded "no but that's alright". She never said another word. i left a 6% tip as a hint. No server name on receipt except for Server 4. oh and BTW she did substitute a pancake for potatoes on my spouses order. Such a shame, alot of potential, previously we enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. most likely will just drive on bye next trip. So so tired of paying for service or food that is less that what i serve at home. read more

Mary Mary's is a great place for good, old fashioned, American Comfort Food! If you're looking for sophisticated ambiance or a wine list, you're in the wrong place. If you want to have a hearty breakfast or meet up with colleagues for lunch this is the best spot in Spanaway. I have breakfast there maybe once a month and lunch about as often. I always get plenty of good tasting fresh food. They have TWO kinds of french fries! Sometimes I like the fresh cut and sometimes I opt for the crispy ones. They're both sinfully good. Extra Tartar PLEASE!!! FIVE STARS! read more

This is consistently the best place to eat for breakfast and lunch in the area and even out of the area. I am amazed it is only listed under coffee And Tea, why isn't it under breakfast and brunch? Staff is great, the food is always good and you rarely have to wait long even though they're always busy. I really can't think of anything to say that isn't almost perfect about them. read more

The food was ok, surprised at the service unbelievably rude service.Not just from the wait staff but from thee owner as well. you know what they say a fish rots from the head down. the food is well overpriced for the lame Kraft single processed cheese they lay on top of there omelets. We will not return. Rude read more

Hello Mary: Mary Mary's s what a one-of-a-kind delightful café plus delicious food. We visited your café recently and felt welcomed for the first time, we found the café met our requirements to return as regular customers. The requirements are: friendly (outstanding), food (delicious), lighting (great), clean (very important), hot coffee (constant refills) and as an added touch the orange slices, very delicious it's like a dessert at the end of a meal. We couldn't be happier that we found Mary Mary's. We will return again and again. Our next visit will be the fish & chips and clam chowder on Friday's. Thanks! Dennis & Kathy Willborg Spanaway, WA read more

We have come a number of times since Mary Mary's has opened!!! It is always super busy!!! It doesn't matter though it is worth the wait for the food!! I wish I would have taken a picture of my breakfast today but I forgot. Always amazing! Mary is a wonderful woman and we love to see her when we go in. All of the wait staff is friendly and we love the girls. read more

This is the 1st time I have ever eaten here and I will definitely be coming back. The wait staff was friendly, the prices are decent, food was good and MaryMary is super nice! read more

Not sure why anyone would hate on this place. Super friendly staff the day we went. Super quick to get a seat even on a weekend morning and super fast service. Now the food was awesome. I always get chicken fried steak no matter what state i am in or what kind of restaurant I am at for breakfast. If its on the menu I order it. I have had this meal all over the country and the only other place that has a better quality of Chicken Fried steak in the states I have ate at is Cattins down town Puyallup by the fair. Other then them this is the 2nd best chicken fried steak i have ever had. Wife and son loved their food also and had no complaints other then disagreeing with the yelp reveiws i was reading during our time there. Hopkins Family Loved It read more

Gave this hole-in-the-wall cafe several tries with different breakfast items and was beyond disappointed in the lack of quality in their food. My homemade poor cooking trumps this place by 10. Denny's is gross but it is better than this place. Service was decent on all three occasions but could never justify the disgusting meals. read more

I do not know why people are writing bad reviews epically a bad review because the people are older that ate eating there??? Fast friendly food friendly staff I eat here all the time!! read more

First visit. Surprisingly large cafe and most of the tables were full of diners. I took that as a good sign, the food must be good to fill this large cafe / restaurant. Breakfast for six adults and we were seated immediately near the fireplace, given menus, and we were offered coffee as we sat down. By the way, our server never let our coffee cups get empty! Six different breakfasts were ordered and served in a short wait time. The food was cooked to perfection and we all cleaned our plates. The portions were large, my ham and cheese omelet held me over until dinner time! The owner took the time to welcome us and she seemed to check on all her customers. This should be called "MERRY MARY'S". :) We will definitely return. Good food, good service, and a warm friendly atmosphere. read more

Went there for breakfast with a friend. It was busier than I expected for the location, but still had great service. Friendly staff, good food, decent price. read more

Several key points that make Mary Mary's unique and yet simple. Clean!, there is no odd odor when you enter and the wait staff takes pride in their service. The decor is ample and not over done with plenty of lighting to see about the place. No stale smelling carpet or broken down booths, everything is taken care of and in order. The food is exceptional, like any place there may be a slight texture difference from one day to the next but the quality and quantity take top billing. Now for the staff, some reviews comment about the staff be short and not very friendly. If you take the time to watch them in action, you will not see them standing around, wasting time and ignoring tables that need bussing. They are hopping and on the verge of a slow jog to keep up with the high demand. They do take the time to ask you how things are, if you need anything and to say good-bye as you exit. They are not there to be social gossipers, they are there to tend to your needs and make sure everything is as cordial as possible. I bet anyone to spend one day in their shoes and you would feel you put in a twelve hour day. They earn their keep! Mary Mary is to one of a kind in her up beat personality and desire to make sure you have a good experience. Her business plan is something a lot of other like diners should take note of. She runs the ship from early morning to mid afternoon and then turns the lights out so the cleaning crew and do their job to keep things sanitized. This plan also helps reduce the amount of staff and inventory to help offset the cost of product. She keeps it simple and it's obvious this plan works. Mary Mary will be the first to tell you she looks forward to her days off, there is no slow down when the clock is running. There are three waitstaff members you need to have the pleasure of serving you, Mary Mary, Tricia, and Veronica. All three have their own personality but all three make you want to come back. Like any open review, it's one's opinion. I could say all sorts of things I don't care about Starbucks....that is just me, it does not mean it's the true feel of everyone. Take all the reviews of Mary Mary's and understand that some people had a bad review of the day before they got out of bed......It's great, it's worth the investment and well worth your time to enjoy a great meal at a fair price. read more

If you have any color to your skin, avoid this place! I wish I could give this place negative stars! These people are so racist it's unbelievable! First of all, when we first walked in, everybody stared at us like we were exotic dangerous animals! Like no one could believe that we walked in. They sat us down in the middle of the restaurant, so everyone could have their eye on us! When we ordered our food they were extremely rude! While we were eating, one of the people who owned the place or worked there (I'm not sure, he was a bug guys, glasses and a kane) sat at an empty table & just watched us eat! Literally just sat there staring at us, with no shame! Every time I looked at him, he shook his head with disgust. In the middle of our meal, my mom asked for another waffle for my little brother. Mind you, the waitress never check on us, we had to call her over! When we ordered the waffle, the waitress walked up to the bug man, that was watching us to tell him what we told her. He would look at us and shake his head irritated and disgusted! When we left the guy just watched us with his eyes and back to make sure we did not do anything while we were leaving! Bottom line, I never felt so uncomfortable in my life! My family and I are well-mannered, we ate & left without any problems. But trust me I wanted to give that man a piece of my mind! my family ate, and left. No problems with us. We did not do anything to be treated this way! It was disgusting & I hope this place goes out of business! This entire experience felt like a movie that was based on the slavery times, when people with color walked in somewhere and everybody stopped and watched us. It was unbelievable!! I would not wish that feeling on the worst enemy. read more

Just had breakfast here. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious and prompt. The price was fair. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because they were not busy and I would like to see how customer service changes when faced with that challenge. read more

I love a simple, friendly cafe like Mary Mary's. The menu is just diverse enough, the price point is reasonable, the service is very good, and the quality of the food is likewise. I met briefly with the owner, Mary herself, and am an instant fan of this establishment. Highly recommended! read more

Until today this was a favorite place to eat breakfast of the weekend.....Today's service ridiculously horrible. The OWNER'S behavior was not only unprofessional, but disrespectful. The food has always been great but today the eggs were dry and the hashbrowns tasted like rubber. After sending the food back and telling the waitress that we had lost out appetite and there was no need to remake the food, they did so anyway! When they tried to bring the food back out, and we said no thank you, she took the food away and threw it into a tray on the counter. Still after all that I planned on still paying the whole bill, but as I got up and was getting ready to leave and pay the waitress/owner walked over to the table and snatched the bill out of my hand!!! When I asked to speak to the manager they pointed me in her direction at which time she started shouting at us. We will never eat here and nor should you!!! read more

First time to Mary marys I had to try it out because I read a review and saw their menu which had the Monte Cristo sandwich (my favorite which is so hard to find anywhere) my sandwich was amazing as well as my daughter loved her turkey melt sandwich. Mary mary served us herself and has amazing customer service, had cool little stories to tell and made me feel like we were old friends. For diner styled comfort food this is my new favorite spot!!! read more

Only come if you are really hungry, want good homestyle cooking and like relaxed, casual atmostphere. It is busy, always clean and everyone friendly. Mary Mary (her real name, she says she has been busy her whole life and she always had to be called twice, thus became Mary Mary). Breakfast or lunch in Spanaway, WA are best when done right--at Mary Mary's. read more

This is the place to be, the place to eat, the place to relax and just enjoy! Mary Mary's Cafe by far has thee best HOME-MADE food around! The service is friendly and kind, you don't have to wait for your coffee to be re-filled, they are on top of it! Great prices, and its just down to earth. If you're looking for Great food and Great service with a clean environment THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE read more

First time here had sos (nice and creamy) over delicious biscuits.Enought to take some home for a good price. Very friendly staff, just dont sit at the counter or you might have to listen to the kitchen help talking about their drunk boyfriend. read more

I've been there twice in last 3 months with a party of 16. We were happy with the food and service. Our servers were great.

The food is good. They give juice refills. Should be a 3/5 review, except for some reason it was the most charming experience. I love it here, and will go out of my way to go back. read more

Ok, I have to edit my previous review. I talked to Mary yesterday at breakfast (the veggie omelette is pretty yummy) and I was wrong, the SOS is canned. It sure doesn't taste it tho, that's what had me fooled. Anyway, bottom line, if your looking for a fun place to go for breakfast or lunch with an attentive, efficient and friendly staff serving yummy food, make the trip out to Spanaway to Mary Marys Café. Its worth the drive! read more

Love this place! Good food, friendly service and very clean. My whole family frequents this place regularly. Mary even takes the time to call my uncle and tell him when the navy bean soup is on the menu............now that's great service! Mary Mary is a very well known local favorite who finally opened a place of her own. The strawberry crepes are one of my favorites. Great to have a well run, successful cafe right in our little town of Spanaway. read more

This place is great. The wait staff is always friendly, fast and courteous. Their chicken fried steak is amazing. Their 5 egg omelets are mouthwatering delicious. Only reason they don't get 5 stars from me is the size and price of something of their drinks. read more
