Lovely spot with quick service and wonderful home cooked food - the fresh bread for toast was so delicious! Great place to stop by!

Tucked in behind Kisenwhether's Service Center and all its big semis and trailers, Mary's is that building off to the left with an "open" sign in the window. The only indication that you are looking at the right place is the sign out by the road whispering, "Mary's Family Restaurant." Once inside, the 1970's luncheonette styled joint, is pleasantly dated with small counter and a dozen of so booths. The menu is mimeographed and placed within plastic pockets with the three meal menus, that are also standards from yesteryear. We also discovered once seated and chatted up by Kim, the service person, that breakfast was no longer available at noon, so my desire for chicken fried steak went unsatisfied, and a very good half pound burger took its place. Only a slight temporary disappointment. As mentioned, the California Burger was hand formed and grilled just beyond the requested medium, but still tasty and satisfying. The side of fries were likewise above decent in crispness and quantity. Our other order of Chicken Tenders was similarly adequate to the task in texture and chew. We left Mary's to continue on our adventure to Wellsboro and The Grand Canton of Pennsylvania, sufficiently filled for the first meal of the day, and thanking Kim for her friendly service. 3.5 STARS read more

Mary's Family Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Drums, Pennsylvania

This is one of our go to breakfast restaurants when we are on a long road trip. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is tasty. The restaurant was very accommodating to prepare a gluten free breakfast with scrambled eggs and vegetables. My husband had a traditional breakfast with eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast. read more

Awesome homemade food w memories of growing up. The waitress was excellent. Her name is Maria and she really knew her job. Kept coffee cups filled and was very attentive. All items r cooked to order so patience is required. However it was worth the wait. Will be coming by again to try lunch or dinner before we leave to go home to mass. Came cause of Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. read more

The food was delicious and the homemade pies were so yummy! All menu items are made to order! Very affordable and easy access off the interstate. We got the Salisbury steak, open face turkey sandwich, two kids meal cheeseburgers and fries. The chicken and rice soup was yummy and the coconut cream pie was all gone in a minute. The chef's dinner menu changes daily. read more

This is your traditional family diner. I have had breakfast there before, you always get good service, by what seems to be experienced waitresses... Continuously refilling your coffee, and making sure you have everything you need. The wait is minimal for your food, the food is always good. I went for dinner, and the food once again is your typical diner home style good food. read more

Bland food. It tastes microwaved and canned. Great staff and decent wait times. Fairly Cheap though.

Small diner with great food! Thanks Yelp!! I had a burger and the hubby had a HUGE omelet. Worth the waIt!

Takeout 12"cheese steak with "the works". Absolutely delicious! Great NJ/Greek quality diner right here in Drums. Huge menu, all very good. Special takeout hours these days. See poster in photo section. read more

Stopped by for for breakfast. I'm from north Jersey so I wanted to try something different. I had the country fried steak with sausage gravy breakfast platter. It was pretty good.

Stopped here while traveling through the area. Staff was friendly and efficient. We ordered breakfast. Eggs, home fries, toast and coffee. It was decent but nothing stood out. Next time we pass through the area we will try some lunch. That was just our experience on a particular morning. It wasn't bad by any means. Just nothing outstanding read more

Super quick spot for lunch. The staff is friendly, service is speedy, and the prices are right. I come here a few times a week and I'm never disappointed. Check them out sometime. :) read more

Mary's Family Restaurant - Egg salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Drums, Pennsylvania

Stellar family restaurant. My 93 year old grandmother got the liver and onions and declared it perfect. My mother got the pork BBQ & was quite happy. My father & I both got the cheeseburger medium rare. He brought his own gluten free bun, which they were happy to microwave. The burger was juicy and exactly done. The fries were crisp. The coleslaw was creamy. And the mother-loving coconut cream pie (which my mother & I both got) was definitely homemade. Total win. read more

Stopped on our way out to a bike trail. Although they were super busy we received excellent service. Teamwork here is obvious:-) had stuffed French toast which was absolutely amazing...definitely a a great choice! Stopped again today:-) Blueberry pancakes were delicious, didn't even need syrup! Fast and friendly service again. Definitely a go to when passing through!! read more

Mary's Family Restaurant - Cheese steak with mushrooms onion sauce and cheese and a side of fries with cheese and gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Drums, Pennsylvania

Worst breakfast I ever had... period. Ordered the veggie omelet, it was made with canned peppers, onions and mushrooms... ALL CANNED! Horrible, I couldn't eat it. So disappointed, they didn't charge me for the food, but the manager just could not resist giving me a lecture about how to order & that I should have asked if the veggies were canned.... I surely will not ever go back. read more

Mary's Family Restaurant - Ordered the Veggie omelet, worst omelette I ever had, couldn't eat it. The Veggies were canned. No charge, but no happy tummy either! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Drums, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for a quick breakfast while passing through. Had the county fried steak and eggs, food was great and all the staff were pleasant. I would recommend stopping by while passing through. Only down side is the atmosphere it could use an update. read more

This place makes crappy food that looks and tastes like when K-mart had a counter with one person working serving 8 people. The difference here is the prices are 4 times the amount, are crazier, and the help is slow. One waitress, one cook 9 tables and to go. They are cheap too, if you want a menu have your phone to take pictures or your out of luck. It may be good for truckers that expense it but if your on a budget your better off getting food in hazleton. read more

Ok it's past a mechanics garage and is kinda scary outside, but man is everything homemade and delicious. For breakfast had southwestern omlette and blueberry hotcakes. Soooo good! Partner had chicken fried steak which was amazing. Was leaving the area after a vacation disappointed in the area's food. This place saved the whole vacation from culinary let down. read more

hands down, THE BEST sausage gravy and biscuits I've ever had. I stayed around this area for almost a year before I realized this place was here. It's set off from the road behind a truck repair shop, and if you blink you'll miss it. We stopped in on a lark one morning, and now I have a new favorite breakfast place. The staff is friendly, the food tastes made from scratch, and the prices are great. You'll never leave hungry, but you'll definitely be back! read more

Restaurant choices are far and few between in the area so it sometimes makes it easier to overlook the mediocre food and slow service for the sake of a close and convenient lunch. If you are looking for so so food, don't care about service, and have a lot of time to kill, go for it. Otherwise, spare yourself the wait and the rude waitress and look elsewhere. read more

Mary's Family Restaurant is a regular stop for us, especially for breakfast. They have a variety of foods on menu, weekend breakfast specials, fast friendly service and quality, homemade food. The location is convenient on Route 309 in Drums, just off Route 80. It is not in a "scary location" as reported by an earlier reviewer, and we have NEVER had a rude waitress and we've been there dozens of times. I highly recommend this diner-like restaurant. You won't be disappointed (or scared ;) read more

Excellent food! My French toast was AMAZING! Excellent service with very little wait! My sausage was also Amazing! Definitely would come here for breakfast again! read more

Food is pretty good. Scrapple rocks. The staff had a low turnover and you start to know them all- and they're all super nice. Quaint little homestyle locale. read more

Good made to order meals, in a quiet laid back casual diner-ish setting. Service was what you would expect from a MTO restaurant, and the servers were welcoming and accommodating. read more

We were traveling through the area and chose Mary's because of the 4 star Yelp rating. We were not disappointed!!! Clean, friendly, and efficient! Had a delicious burger! Great little old fashioned diner with super service! read more

Hard to find anything to eat off i80 west but Mary 's saved the day. Simple and good and breakfast all day. Omelette with home fries and English muffin with lashings of butter. They even allowed us to park up next to the restaurant to find shade for our dog where there was no parking. Thank you for setting us up for the day. read more

Short staffed led to an hour and 15 minute bfast. Prices are reasonable and French toast was "amazing" according to my daughter.

My daughter and I just left this place. This place has the worst service in history. Ok, we went for breakfast, both of us getting an egg platter. Seriously it takes what, under 10 minutes to fry a couple of eggs? Even if they were waiting for the chickens to lay the morning eggs, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did with 3 people working. 45 minutes later, EVERYTHING was cold when it did finally arrive.. We had other people come in AFTER us and get their food (consisting of mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetables and steak) before us. I will never go to this place again. If the food was good, I might be able to overlook the shoddy service. However, every single thing on our plates was so bland, i could have went to the service station next door and gnawed on cardboard from their parts delivery guy for something with more flavor. read more

I ordered cheese steak hoagie. The worst I've ever had. The meat was not sautéed beef but tasted like boiled beef mixed cooked onion and pepper. I did know what kind of cheese they used, no taste at all. read more

Considering the area, this is about as good of a middle-of-nowhere-Pennsylvania-right-off-the-expressway restaurant as you can find. The food was solid and could stand up next to any family restaurant food. Got the Western omelette and got more food than I bargained for. Toast was incredible (perfect chewy to crunchy ratio), home fries were awesome, but the omelette was subpar. The coffee refills were quick and service was fast. On a Monday morning around 9, the place was packed with (I'm assuming) the same regular old folks as every other day. It's easy to fall in love with small town Pennsylvania by spending an hour here. If you're on I80, skip the chains and spend some time here. read more

Our family stopped there for lunch the other day. Only one other table was occupied. Our meal came fast and was good home-cookin'! We'll be sure to stop by again if we're even in that vicinity. read more

Waitresses were very friendly, but we left before our food even got out. We waited 40 minutes for 2 omelets.... And it still wasn't out. If you are on the road looking for a quick stop this is not the place. read more

Traditional Family Type Restaurant. One of the waitresses has an attitude but the tiny one with the blondish hair and soft voice is very polite and a hard worker it seemed. The cooks take their time but the food comes out great. Definitely not a stop for those looking for a quick in and out but definitely worth the wait if you have time. The burgers have to be the best I've ever had. The fried food is good too and their grease always seems fresh which is rare. read more
