  Word to the wise for families - you're likely to be surrounded by hungover university kids rather than young families. But it's part of the charm, in a way... the place has a youthful energy to it.

  The food itself was on the lower end, pancakes were chewy and dense, sandwhich was dry with an overcooked egg, the only saving grace as that the total fare was only 18 dollers, odd considering all the strange surcharges.

  On the first point; as you can see from the photo the diner is in a desperate state of disrepair. There was also a general lack of cleanliness, it is strange to watch someone fill salt shakers in front of you by picking up the salt by hand and dropping it in.

  Dirty, cheap, and less then mediocre food, the pricetag is this diners only saving grace.

  As a vegan I really appreciate restaurants that make such a great effort with their menu so I really hate to write this because the food was SO good. I had a tofu scramble skillet and it was 11/10 minus the giant hair I discovered cooked inside after eating half of the dish. I didn't want to be a bother but my friend mentioned the hair to the server and when she saw it she was pretty apologetic and said that it would be free. I went to the bathroom while my friend paid, she was charged for my meal full price and the waitress that said it would be free watched it all happen and just walked away. It should have been brought to others attention that we weren't meant to be charged or she could have said something instead of watch us pay. I was really looking forward to taking my other friends here but that was a really slimy thing to do so I won't be back!

  Great food. Super friendly staff. Setting is very old-timey in the middle of the city. Decor could use being touched up.

  Unbelievably friendly staff, great meals and unbeatable prices with good portion sizes. Though it may take a few minutes to get seated on a busy day, your meal arrives within 10-15 minutes. Their home fries are seasoned so deliciously and my favourite dish is the Eggs Benedict.

  Ahh, Mary's Place. First, let's acknowledge a truth: the decor is a bit rough and, frankly it embodies the stereotype of a greasy spoon. BUT... this is part of its charm.

  Second point is that there was this strange athmosphere of greed that saturated the restaurant, have you ever seen a diner that charges extra for maple syrup on pancakes? Or have a great big sign on the front declairing "no outside food or drink"?

  They have some awesome standard dishes, but far and away the thing that keeps me coming back is THE SERVICE. They are so good! I've seen the same front of house staff there for years and they're always kicking ass and taking names (orders?). Kudos to these women for making a small diner with a very modest interior into a fixture on Spring Garden Rd.
