Mary Ettas Cafe is a beloved local spot, known for its exceptional food and friendly service. The cafe features a cozy atmosphere with charming old-school decor, making guests feel right at home. The food is made fresh, with delicious options like the BLT combo and the small boy omelette. Customers praise the accommodating staff and the satisfying breakfast experience, which includes crispy chicken fried steak, perfectly cooked eggs and potatoes, and amazing gravy. The biscuits and gravy, especially the flavorful country sausage gravy, are highly praised. The country potatoes are sliced extra thin and very tasty. The staff is attentive, refilling coffee without being asked and keeping tables serviced. The restaurant, which has been family-run for over 50 years, is worth the short drive off the freeway. Recently, the owner has announced plans to add hard liquor and dining experience, transforming it from a neighborhood breakfast spot to a more comprehensive dining destination.
