Food - About what I'd expect from a smaller diner. Enjoyable if you have appropriate expectations.

Service - Marlena is a fantastic, friendly woman who cares about running her business well.

Pricing - Fair for the quality and portion size.

Overall - I recommend giving the restaurant a try. I've only visited a couple times, but they've been enjoyable, given I wasn't expecting Michelin star food (which some reviews would lead you to believe you're getting, and others critically complain that it's not).

Given the right circumstances, I'd gladly visit again. Granted, there is a lot of competition in Holland for the type of food served. However, if you're looking for a small business, friendly/family owned, no frills type of restaurant, you won't go wrong with Marlena's.

Given the nature of numerous previous reviews, mostly politically biased, I would take the overall rating of the restaurant with a grain of salt.

If you've not been, give Marlena's a fair chance, and maybe consider leaving the politics at the door.

Our server was very good but the food was bad. The wet burrito tasted like dirty dish water and the cheese on the chips and cheese was bad the smell and taste was like rotten cheese when I let the owner know she said it was cheddar. Cheddar should never taste like that. The steak was ground something we could not eat out food

Awesome food!! The pizza was thin and crispy and the sauce was on point! Sloppy Joe was in fact, sloppy as it should be but not over sauced. Will be back!

Food was great. Staff very friendly and owner is amazing. Thank you very much?

I haven't been to Marlena's in a while, so this review is based on my experiences a few years back. The service was great, as was the hometown diner atmosphere. The food wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either so overall a decent experience.

Simply good old fashioned breakfast and lunch prepared with love. Definitely on the list to return :)

We order via DoorDash. They forgot an entire order. My food was bland and not prepared to order. Definitely will not be ordering again. P.S. their hollandaise sauce is basically water.

We had breakfast at Marlena's Bistro and it was amazing! Great service, great food and a pleasant atmosphere! Thank you!

Absolutely delicious! You must try the breakfast skillet or the breakfast croissant. So good! We also got a pizza to take home and my husband loved the strawberry crapes (I don’t like fruit so I didn’t try it). Marlena is super sweet and so was our server. The food came out super quick too. We love that they serve breakfast all day.
