Not bad, not great. We came around noon on a Sunday and were seated immediately. The place was about half full, and service was prompt. We got our drinks right away (coffee and water) and placed our order within 10 minutes of arriving. In all, our brunch excursion took less than an hour. Props to Mason Grill for fast service, one of its high points. My fiance ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and a pancake. The I only tried the pancake, which was somewhat thin but deliciously crisp on the outside. I kind of wished I'd ordered one too. After reading through other Yelp reviews, I went with the veggie omelet plus goetta, which came with home fries and toast. The omelet was large (probably 4-ish eggs; I only ate half) and stuffed full of onion, tomato and plenty of mushrooms. The goetta was delicious, but I wish there had been more of it. It was a good omelet, but could have used some cheese and had a little undercooked white in the center (I'm not that squeamish about raw egg, but for half a second it looked like melty cheese and I got my hopes up). If I went again, I'd just get the goetta omelet, and maybe add mushrooms. The home fries were pretty "meh." Bland and a touch underdone, and much improved by salt, pepper and ketchup. The wheat toast came with a generous slathering of butter, and the coffee was decent. The waitress dropped off the check with the food, refilled our drinks, and that was the last we saw of her. (My fiance had to go up to the front counter to ask for a box once we finished.) Overall, the Mason Grill gets stars for fast service, cheap-ish prices and a convenient location. The food, while perfectly edible, just wasn't the best in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again (except maybe to try their lunch offerings), but likewise I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it, either. read more

I like to go to locally owned restaurants. This location was a nice find. The staff was friendly and fast.

My family and I have been going to Mason Grille for years! We absolutely love their food, typically we get omelettes and they are always very good. We love that it is family owned and operated and all the servers are always so kind and happy to see you! Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

Very surprised Outside is very blah, inside has been updated , very nice and clean. Staff was very friendly kept coffee cup full without asking. Food came out fast and was delicious. I gave them 4 stars because hrs have changed but not updated. I would highly recommend as it was relaxing good meal. read more

I'm not a breakfast person at all but today I was craving it so I checked out a couple places o. Here I didn't wanna dine in somewhere to fancy since I had been out running errands. This place was a perfect mixed crowd & quick bite to eat. The reviews did not disappoint, I got the mudslide & it was phenomenal & my bestfriend got the Philly cheesesteak and loved it. The menu it diverse I liked that they had so many options, & the best part for me was for breakfast/brunch for two my check only was 12 bucks you can't beat that. I will definitely be back read more

We went here for breakfast and were not disappointed. The service was excellent..professional, prompt and courteous. The breakfast offerings were standard fare..which were promptly served and delicious. A very good value for the price paid! read more

Definitely a great mom & pop restaurant! Small, but very cozy. We went on Sunday morning for breakfast and were quickly seated for the two of us. We were greeted with a smile and quickly served with water and coffee. Our server was Gabby and she gave us a few minutes to look at the menu. I had the breakfast special which was eggs, home fries, and breakfast meat. I asked for bacon and for it not to be too crispy. My husbands address the chopped steak breakfast. My meals were quick and the bacon was perfect. Gabby was always smiling and very friendly. They prefer that you pay with cash. We didn't know, so we used a card, but next time will bring cash. It helps to keep their cost down with the extra fees that CC companies charge. We will be back!! read more

Perfect little mom and pop greasy spoon. Good is perfect for the price. Reminds me of the old neighborhood diners from my childhood.

Loved the brisket! Juicy and delicious. The rib were fall off the bone tender both came with cake like cornbread.

Nice hometown friendly and homemade fresh food. Small diner with a small town feel in the heart of downtown Mason,OH

Hi Lisa, I hope you read this. I am the customer that always orders a Mudslide. I pulled in to park a little before 10am when a large man from the kitchen started waving and talking very loudly and abrasively that I needed to pull my car up further into the parking space. I pulled up about 12 inches more as that was all the space I had. He continued to yell in a very aggressive way that I still needed to pull up more as the folks parked opposite me will hit my car when they back out. This was ridiculous as I have parked in that spot many times with no issue. My car is quite small. Instead of arguing with this very rude person, I moved my car to a spot along the row of bushes. As a was getting out and began to walk into the restaurant, he again began yelling at me about how to park my car. I responded to him "yeah, yeah, yeah" as I was walking. He then told me, a 64 year old man, that I was acting like child. That was it for me, I told him to F*** off and returned to my car to leave. As I was pulling out, he was still yelling at me so I decided to go into the restaurant to complain about him to you. Unfortunately, you were out. I have been a loyal customer since moving to Mason almost three years ago. Your staff have always been very friendly to me and my family, and of course I love the food. I have also recommended the Mason Grill to many friends However, after this incredibly disturbing encounter, I believe you have lost me as a customer and I will update my friends. read more

Not impressed by the food at all. We had omelettes with potatoes and wheat toast. Omelettes were very bland, potatoes undercooked and toast cold. Bummed read more

Call ahead and get the burger and crinkle cut fries. I ate them in the parking lot, yes, it's that good.

Very basic. Nothing too exciting, stopped by right before an eye appointment. Service was nice, food was quick and hot. read more

He said he found a place he wanted to try out for breakfast, so on my next visit, we took a short morning drive from his place to the quaint town of Mason. We have visited other places in town for dinner, but this was our first time in Mason for breakfast. I explored the menu before we arrived. I had never tried goetta before so it was definitely on my list. He had eggs, bacon, and an order of biscuits and gravy. I ordered eggs and goetta with pancakes. We both had coffee. Both of our meals were delicious. The portion sizes were good, and the biscuits and gravy were as close to homemade as I have ever had in a restaurant. Goetta was a nice change of taste. I would order it again. Our server was friendly and attentive. She offered sugar-free sugar with my pancakes and kept our coffee cups full. I'm sure we'll stop in again from time to time. read more

The "grill" in the name is somewhat deceptive. This is one of the few real diners around anymore. I don't know how many times I drove by the place before deciding to give it a try, and it was worth definitely it. I usually opt for the gyro or the specials. They serve the standard diner fare (breakfast all day, burgers, etc.) with a number of Greek/Cincinnati standbys (goetta, chili, double deckers). A solid pick for a quick breakfast or lunch. read more

Extremely rude. We sat for 15 minutes, 3 people came in AGTER us, got menus and coffees and she still hadn't waited on us. We left. read more

Great local breakfast spot! The gathering spot in Mason for breakfast. Lunch is great too! Super friendly and attentive staff! Give this place a try! read more

Awesome neighborhood diner. I can't speak of any of the Lunch/Dinner food because we only had breakfast here but I went with a party of four in the middle of the church rush and it only took us about 10 minutes to get seated. The coffee was hot, the food was delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. It looked like lots of local families enjoying a good home cooked type breakfast. Detroiters will feel like they are at home in a cozy Coney Island restaurant, with their gyros, greek salads, and other Greek/Mediterranean items. My only wish is that they started serving Detroit style coney dogs! read more

They keep it real at this place with good food and moderate prices. I've been a few times and it tastes like made from scratch breakfast food. Love it. I think they just celebrated 10 years in Mason, here's to many more. When I got home, I celebrated by farting for 10 straight minutes. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and it was busy but we were still seated quickly. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! I usually find diner type gravy to be too peppery but this was not. The sausage is very flavorful and I had it on my breakfast sandwich too. The sandwich was buttery and melty and very filling. It had two fried eggs with the sausage pieces mixed in. I found the coffee was good as well. Brunch for 2 was only about $25. Definitely would come back to try more of this home cooking. read more

The Mason Grill - Biscuits and gravy. Highly recommend! - American Near Me - Mason, Ohio

See all

Nice local place. Ate breakfast here - had the mud slide. Gravy, biscuit, sausage, eggs and potatoes all layered. Good, very tasty. Potatoes and onions a little on the blackened side any more would have been burned but I do like onions on the well side so wasn't a big deal for me. I would get this dish again. Enough to share really. I'll be back. read more

The Mason Grill - Mud Slide - American Near Me - Mason, Ohio

I only gave a 1 star rating so I could review this place. It deserves a 0 rating. I was invited to breakfast by a man whose sister I am caregiver too. When we walked into the restaurant they all were greeted with a hello and smile. I spoke and smiled at the waitress but she just stared at me. She didn't like the color of my skin because of her blatant racism I decided not to order anything for breakfast. When the food was brought out she reached over me and across me and never said excuse me. She also brought water out for everyone except me. I feel sorry for this hater.She doesn't even love herself. I will never return to this horrible place. This experience reminded me of when I was a child . I went somewhere here in Ohio with my friend and her parents. I was stared at. When I got my hamburger the bun was wet. There us no telling what was done to it. I wasn't going to let that happen this time. I'm sure this hater would have done something negative to my food had I ordered. read more

This definitely gets a #sorrynotsorry hashtag. I try to like this place but it stinks. Its awful. I had boycotted them for quite a while because of signs in front that disallowed parking for the ice cream place across the street (Despite the fact they were closed... jealous much?) I went recently with my son and the food was just awful. I got an omelette that would be unacceptable at Hampton Inn free breakfast. There was avocado on it that had the texture and look of a granny smith apple. The pancakes for my son were paled in comparison to almost anything even mass produced at a cheap buffet. You'll be much happier at Bob Evans or IHOP. #sorrynotsorry read more

This was just a meh place, went on a Sunday early afternoon, and the place was crowded, which gave me high expectations, ordered a potato, bacon, cheese omelette and it came as basically scrambled eggs. Wait staff was nothing special, prices weren't super cheap, didn't really feel like I got anything from it that set it above and beyond any other cafe in the area. Only open until 2pm. read more

Santa Fe Salad is amazing! Super friendly staff. Reasonable price too :$$ read more

FAST service from friendly people. I take at least one of my three kids to the Mason Grill for breakfast just about every weekend. (Anyone not going is quick to give me a take out order...) They are attentive, and quick with refills. It is a fine local grill. read more

Sunday breakfast, only a few minutes wait even though the place was packed. Very nice food. Had the omelet it was huge and with very nice home cooked potatoes. Also had the breakfast combo that came with two huge eggs and four nice pieces of bacon and their delicious home cooked potatoes. Very nice and really good value for money. Beats all the chain restaurants. Will definitely be back also to try their burgers etc. read more

We LOVED it!!! We went for breakfast and it took no time at all to get our food. We ordered pancakes, amazing, biscuits and gravy, amazing, and the country fried steak breakfast, also amazing! They have to go orders as well, definitely will be back!! read more

This is a little hole in the wall place. But the food is amazing. We ordered two of their more popular breakfast items and my kids got their pancakes. There was not anything left. Everyone loved the food. My husband is really picky about biscuits and gravy and he said this place was really good! The staff was really friendly and we enjoyed our breakfast. Plus it was fast. Sat down at 10:05 Had our food by 10:30 and we left at 11! We will be going back anytime we can. We live fairly far away! read more

The family atmosphere in a diner restaurant makes for a great brunch experience. The staff friendly, the service is great, and you can't beat the value. read more

Great food great value! Small so might have to wait if on Sunday brunch but usually not that long and they do their best to accommodate you. Most important good food sorta like a top line diner read more

Every time I go there is always great service and very attentive servers. The omelettes are massive and will not leave you hungry. Some of the food is a little greasy sometimes but still tastes fine. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. read more

I wanted to like this place because it's local, homey, and diner-style which I typically love. Sadly though, I'm not understanding the rave reviews. Everything was just sort of "meh". Sausage gravy was tasty but the biscuit it was served on was too dense for my liking. I felt like I was eating gravy on a flavorless scone. Potatoes had no seasoning. Pancakes were huge and looked yummy but were chewy. Goetta was overcooked. Coffee was downright gross (as others said, it tasted dirty...ew.) The servers were friendly but it took over 30 minutes to get our two meals, which is pretty unacceptable for a diner. Gave this place two stars because the portions are large for the price and aside from the coffee nothing was inedible. But we won't be returning. read more

Friendly service, good atmosphere, real cut potatoes, and the goetta was pretty tasty! Had the mudslide.

We had not been to the Mason Grill in a long time. We had a party of eight around 10:30 am on a Saturday. We all ordered breakfasts. Several omlettes, eggs, Goetta, and French toast. Most of the meals came with a lot of potatoes and toast. Reasonably priced and great servers. We were all wearing our tie dyed team shirts for the Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk. Our waitress made the connection from our shirts and our one son's medical bracelet and brought us a cash donation to make to CFF. Tasty food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. read more

Nice little hole in the wall. Service was good. Portions were plentiful. I had the mudslide (which is sort of everything on a plate). Others had the trio and were pleased. Wife had biscuits & gravy and really liked it. Breakfast served all day. Would go again. read more

Can't believe that I have lived within 5 minutes of Mason Grill for 10 years and never gave it a shot (until recently). Small, unassuming diner in Mason - an area in dire need of more decent breakfast options - that does breakfast lunch and dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious and large omelet which contained gyro meat. The rest of the plate was filled out with a huge pile of hash browns. It was relatively busy on the Saturday morning that we went and there aren't a ton of tables, but service was great. Can't wait to try some of the lunch menu and enjoy more family breakfasts here. read more

We come here for breakfast at least twice a month. Food is fresh, fast and delicious. The staff is friendly and always takes good care of us. read more

Broke my rule! We went back, and it was still wonderful food. My wife and I both had the meat lovers omelette. There was a special of eggs and goetta which I was close to choosing -- maybe next time. read more
