    A great stop on a Sunday morning. Biker friendly and perfect service. Good food at the right price. With a group of 14 on the way, staff made sure we taken care of before their arrival. Make sure to save your fork because you are going to want pie.

    Was looking for a good southern style restaurant for breakfast and Marys popped up! Decided to give it a try and my husband and I were more than happy with our choice! I had Homemade Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict w/home fries and he had Steak and Eggs w/ a grilled biscuit and home fries and they were both delicious!!! The service was great and it was a great atmosphere!!! Highly recommend this place!!

    Their BLT special with fries was super tasty and very affordable (5.99). Service was friendly and attentive. The only drawback was they only serve Pepsi products. Other than that it was a good place!

    We heard great things about this place. So we decided to try it. I went on Friday for fish night. Got there early. We ordered catfish and the haddock all you can eat. We were excited. When the food came, there were so little food on the plate. It was ridiculous. Two small pieces of fish. Barely any grits or greens. When we reordered, they gave us another small piece. This was getting redundant after a while. It would’ve made sense to have a good size portion first, then gave us smaller portions afterwards. The server wasn’t that attentive because we probably were new and not locals. Getting their attention was hard because all they were doing was gathering around in the back talking and not coming back and see if we wanted anything. Whoever was cooking, over cooked the fish it was dry. You can definitely know it was frozen. Grits were barely warm. Paying $21.99 for this was well over priced. Definitely not worth the money. Definitely not worth the hype that we were told about. We were excited about trying a new place. Maybe ordering off the menu would be different, but we’re not taking that risk. I guess the locals are used to having the food. Probably why the ratings are high. And to charge your customers to use their credit card, that’s absurd. Glad we had cash to pay. Y’all could at least of hidden it in the price of the meal.

    Update: 10/27/23 Had the Daily Breakfast Special. Which was Steak and Eggs. There was nothing wrong with the cut but the steak had no flavor whatsoever. A little salt could have gone a long way. It also was cooked correctly as ordered but it had no sear and was floppy. It would be nice if they actually made the food like they were the ones making it for themselves ya know with some love. The potatoes and grits were fine but whoever is making the biscuits needs a lesson on baking. Hard as a rock, dense, dry and flavorless. Hardtack. Not a Southern Style biscuit at all. Which is very disappointing considering this is a Southern establishment. Most of the food was also lukewarm. The coffee was also super watery for plain black coffee. These are little things but they can add up quick to a bad morning experience. If I’m paying around $24 for a meal by myself the standards and quality control should be a little higher. The server still received over 20% tip because she did her job properly. Star Review has been updated. Staff was very friendly and were not bothered by me asking a million questions about the menu. With a wide variety of Kountry Classics this place does an amazing job. I asked a random but very friendly server what she thought was the best and she recommended the homemade corn beef hash Benedict with hollandaise sauce. And that’s what caught my attention about this place and made me want to go! It has both home style favorites that you know, skillets (hard to find in Florida), and some foodie additions that push the boundaries. It also has homemade fresh squeezed OJ and you can tell this is local fruit! What a blessing! The food was hot and very flavorful and seasoned well. It didn’t last long enough to make the pictures! She also suggested the Cinnamon Roll pancakes but I’ll have to save that for another time. This restaurant fills that need of a bygone era of nostalgia eating that we so desperately still need. It is these mom and pops that really make up the heartbeat of America!

    Been going to Mary's for YEARS now. Cannot be beat for an amazing home cooked style meal in a friendly, small town atmosphere at a fair and reasonable price. On this visit I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich (for the first time) and a friend of mine ordered the Philly. I added a side order of corn nuggets, which are fantastic little molten hot lava balls of deliciousness. The sandwich was likely the best pork tenderloin sandwich I can say that I've had the pleasure of eating. I wasn't able to try to Philly, bc he had scarfed it down in its entirety before I could even say "WAIT". One thing I can tell you for certain is that you won't be disappointed after a meal here. Whether you choose to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner...just make sure to save room for Mary's famous homemade PIE!

    Visiting from Indiana and found this place through a Google search and it did not disappoint. Great breakfast. Biscuits and gravy were some of the best I've had. Home fries and bacon were great too. I'll definitely try to return next time I'm in the area.

    It was a classic small diner. Felt like I was back home. The food is a step up. Nothing fancy but it tastes better than what you find anywhere. Lemon Blueberry Pancakes were the best ever. I missed out on pie but will be back.

    I first came here because of the good reviews online and must admit that I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere is a bit roadside diner, but the food and people there are great, so it's not an issue. My wife and I shared a desert. When we were done, we looked at each other and flagged down the waitress to order another one!

    Holy Cow! What a great place. There was a hum of happy eaters that immediately welcomed you as you walk in the door, and friendly smiles to boot. The waitress was so nice and paid just the right amount of attention. The food, and I got the meatloaf, was better than my wife's, and that's saying a lot. Hope she doesn't see this. To sum things up. You gotta eat here if you haven't yet. You will make it a regular stop.

    Been going there every since they opened, great food and pricing, especially the new monthly breakfast and lunch specials. Also the staff is awesome. And the owners are beautiful people inside and out. So if you are looking for some good old fashioned cooking and atmosphere. Mary's Kountry Kitchen is the place. And Scott Cutlip just for you,GO GATORS!

    Found out about this place last year and since then every time we come visit Florida we always come back here. It’s a great mom and pop place for breakfast with great food and great people… Very friendly and accommodating… This is our regular go to for breakfast it’s like Sharkey’s Grill at home away from home… We will sure be back!!!!
