Mary’s Cafe

I love Mary’s!
I went for breakfast with family, and we had an amazing meal. The French toast was perfect, the pork roll was cooked perfectly & to top it off we also had chili. It’s a thing at Mary’s just get it, you won’t regret it!
Our service was fantastic and we were pleased with the whole experience. I will definitely go back again!

Quick summary: Good food but HORRIBLE service.
I was in the area over the past weekend to watch the Challange Atlantic City and ended up in Hammonton since it was along the race route. After supporting the racers, my friends and I were looking for a place to grab lunch before heading to the boardwalk to see the finish line and (regrettably) ended up at Mary’s Café.
We didn’t realize that the place didn’t serve lunch on Sundays and our waitress was sure to inform us in the most rude tone ever that they only served breakfast. Her tone was the first red flag and unfortunately the experience did not improve from that point. Although the food was delicious, we couldn’t help but continue to feel disrespected by our waitress. Meanwhile, she seemed pleasantly chummy to everyone else she was serving.
When we were finished eating, a young man cleared our table and asked how we wanted to pay. We asked if we could split the bill 3 ways and he said sure. Minutes later, we heard an argument occur between him and our waitress about the bill because she was unable to split the bill (BTW, it’s completely unprofessional to argue in front of your customers). The waitress then came over and continued to speak to us in an unpleasant manner. We offered to then pay with 3 different cards and write down amounts for her and she threw the receipt and pen down on the table, which was the biggest turn off ever. In the end, we decided to just pay with 1 card so we could get the hell out of there and far away from Mary’s café as possible. She even had the nerve to say «Next time you come into a restaurant, let the waitress know if you want split bills» as if we’ve never been to a restaurant before.
I should also mention that the restaurant was not busy so she could have taken the time to make us feel welcomed or to have at least handled this event better.
I even signed up for a Unilocal account today just to write about how poor their service was. That’s right – I went out of my way to complain about how horrible our experience was. If you don’t mind being served food by a rude staff, then feel free to eat there.
I hope people get a chance to read this before they decide to eat here. Reading the other reviews seems that other people have problem with their service too

I have to say the food is awesome here for breakfast. The problem I keep having is the service. I keep trying this place hoping they are going to have better service because I really like the good but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

The Nitty Gritty: Awesome place for breakfast. A must try!
I WOULD recommend this to others.
The Details: We went here for breakfast and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is pretty chill and the interior is nicely decorated. The service was polite and prompt but nothing special.
I got the chili omelette and it was the best NJ breakfast I’ve ever had for this out of towner from NH. My wife got blueberry pancakes and the experience was similar. The home-​fries were flavorful and cooked perfectly. I didn’t try the coffee.
There were no advertised GLUTEN FREE options, but I did not ask.

Great food, and a great atmosphere. The interior is so inviting, and so is the staff. I love being able to
Sit at the «bar» and watch the news while eating. Would certainly recommend to anyone.

Just had lunch here. It was delicious! Nicely decorated and clean. They serve breakfast and lunch with daily specials. Much of the menu is basic fare (eggs, pancakes, salads, burgers and hoagies) but the specials looked great. I had a cup of New England clam chowder (delicious — homemade) and a egg, asparagus and cheese sandwich on a kaiser bun which was one of the specials — delicious. The sandwich was served with a small bag of chips and 2 pickles. I’ll definitely be back. Like many businesses in downtown Hammonton, they are closed Mondays.

It’s open from 7:00 am — 2:30 pm which is a bit odd. However, the business hours of Hammonton is a bit off the beaten path of 9 – 5.
After walking inside to get a menu and check it out personally, I could see the food looked delicious and nicely plated. It is very chic inside so I have high hopes when I finally go to eat here.
Oh go on Facebook and it’ll pop right up. You can see great photos there, too!
I had the ‘small’ plate of french toast and it was huge and tasty! Yum. Definitely going back. The staff was nice but not super friendly.
