“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional service from Yanerys!

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Mary’s Restaurant, and the best part of my experience was the incredible service provided by Yanerys. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and made to feel truly welcome. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

Yanerys was very attentive! Yanerys is a true treasure for this restaurant.

If you are eating at Mary’s, I recommend ordering Yanerys—you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely return, thanks to your exceptional service.“

“I had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese with hash browns on an everything bagel from DB Breakfast and wow, it was absolutely amazing. The sandwich was perfectly balanced: crispy hash browns, flavorful Taylor ham, and gooey melted cheese all stacked between a fresh, toasted everything bagel. Every bite was packed with flavor and satisfaction.

If you’re looking for a next-level breakfast sandwich that hits all the right notes, this one is it. Highly recommend.“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“oh my god it's been 4 months since my husband and myself poped in for breakfast on our weekend getaway, and I CANNOT stop thinking about how AMAZING the food was.... looks like another 9 hour trip is in our near future 😭😍 p.s. get the pancakes🫶🏻“

“I love coming here! There's a little hidden room in the back with seating... The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is DELICIOUS!!! Sometimes I just stop in for a chai and a croissant... Sometimes I sit and have a meal.. either way, Minias never disappoints!! OMG try their banana oatmeal!!!!!!!!!“

“What a charming breakfast and lunch (and hey, even early dinner) spot! I had the Jackie Special on a multigrain roll, and a latte. Fantastic. It’s clean, it’s bright, it’s warm and stylish. It’s an elevated experience for when you want something a little better than a greasy spoon diner (not that there’s anything wrong with the latter!)“

“the best food in nj .. healthy and nice place for every occasion“

“She was a friendly, attentive and caring. Would recommend her as a waitress and this IHOP location anytime“

“The bagels here are so good, they are life changing. After trying a bagel here, I realized I had never had a good bagel in my life before this one, and I will never look at another bagel the same way again. If I could give a million stars out of five, I would.“

“First off, big big thank you and shout out to our lovely waitress miss blonde bomb shell! So welcome from the jump. Old school diner dive feel! I love this place. My partner used to come here as a kid! He loves this place to. Literally everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. The service was fast and officiant! I loved my experience here and I can't wait to go back! Such a 💎 gem! Stuffed waffles, breakfast sausage links and corned beef hash(made homemade) are all highly recommended but like I said, everything was delicious! 🥴🥴🤤🤤“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delish as always. Love the shallots, leeks & goat cheese crepe & the best coffee! My fiancé loves the steak sandwich. Never disappoints & love to eat outside in good weather. Great service, great food for great prices. Tres bonne!👨🏻‍🍳“

“I was there last Tuesday as my friends and I have been coming on Tuesdays to take advantage of the senior discount. We usually ask to be seated at Briana’s assigned area but for whatever reason she was not there. (Hope she’s Ok)Geraldo had been asked to cover for her in her absence and I must say he did a wonderful job .Geraldo was very attentive and friendly ,getting us whatever we needed in a timely manor and made our visit very enjoyable. Thank you Geraldo. We will be back.“

“the Ecuadorian sandwich...that's not a real item from my country... you should change the name I feel you should google the right food“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“Tucked-away Gem!
My husband and I stumbled across this small grill diner hidden in the cut — and what a find! We stopped in for brunch and everything was spot on. He had the shrimp and grits, and I went with the meat lovers with egg whites. Both dishes were so good — seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. The food was delicious and the service was just as excellent. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot with quality food. 👌🏼“

“salmon cake platter with grits was great!“

“Nice atmosphere and everything tasted wonderful. The only thing that would make this place better would be mimosas!“

“Fabulous food and very friendly!“

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“Best Breakfast in the southward. Ask for the Yummy bowl (grits/cheese & beef sausage).Also please tip the cashiers, they are always pleasant.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll right in the front door & place your order.“

“El exquisito ceviche mixto que probé en mi vida lo conosi aquí , la sopa de mariscos rompe cualquier récord , los lomo saltados son igual que en Peru y los desayunos americanos que les encantan a mis hijos no me cabe duda que este restaurante tiene todo me encanta , es difícil encontrar un lugar que cumpla las exigencias de uno , mi admiración a los cosineros y personal del restaurante! Nunca cambien“

“I've known Dino and his lovely wife Helen for more than 30+ years in the food industry. Excellence in every aspect of the restaurant business is par excellence and superb. Food is always top notch and employees are very friendly. This is the place. Thank you Dino and Helen for 30+ years of greatness.“

“Such amazing and warmhearted people, I love how I was craving for my usual breakfast sandwich for an amazing price and I couldn’t find one nearby the Exchange Place area, till I caught my eye on a little food truck stand… I will definitely come back and support this local/small business. Well deserved for these kind people.“

“the best in every category“

“My go-to sandwich spot! Delicious! Inexpensive! My son is also completely addicted to the grilled cheese sandwiches they make, we go every Saturday for lunch. I love that everything is clean and sanitary, not every deli knows how to make a good “Bodega sandwich” but this spot NAILS it.“

“ok... good coffee. fast service but not all the time... I recommend going here“

“It’s simple, laid back, and neighborhood friendly. Just like its name it’s BASIC & honestly I like the average vibes it offers.

The giant windows allow great natural light in, and the space is rustic mixed with a bookstore. It would be great if they would place outdoor tables to invite visitors in. Honestly sometimes I can’t tell whether they are open or not….

Additionally, I do wish they offered variety such as sandwiches and dinner items and catered for longer hours until 7:30 pm. It would be ideal considering there’s a rush in the area past 6 pm. I am very curious to see how they stay afloat now with the new bagel shop down the block.

The female cashier is nice as well as the chef. The owner doesn’t show much expression or emotion, and I respect him for keeping to himself. I just hope you can keep up with the changes in the neighborhood, I’m rooting for you Basic Cafe!

All in all, I recommend.“

“Stopped in for lunch on our way to Adirondacks and felt immediately welcomed (even though we arrived 20 min before closing). My husband had a western egg sandwich and the homemade corned beef hash, which was exceptional. I had a tuna sandwich and while it’s hard to get excited about tuna fish, it was a perfect sandwich. This is the type of neighborhood place that every town had at one point - a place where people met to eat, share the news of the day, connect - and of which there are too few today. A real gem.“

“Torta truck did not disappoint, decided to give it a try today after the many mentions & good reviews. Let’s just say the quality is delicious and, the meat is tender, and tasty, the consome is flavorful! I got the birria empanada & birria tacos. The guys were really sweet & helpful. Thanks again!! God bless.“

“One of the best places I’ve eaten food from! This place is serious about making their Peruvian food the best in West New York. I’ve eaten Peruvian food in a couple places since my mom is Peruvian, and when we tried this place, we loved it immediately and knew that we would come back here to eat food from here. Great job in doing a good business like this!“

“This week Pimientos de Padrón Chipirones Vieiras Berberechos Ameixas Cada producto above and beyond. Highly recommended.“

“Todo delicioso y muy buena la atención“

“We ordered a chop cheese, the six corners quesadilla, tater tots, and a mango monster smoothie.

The vibe inside was a small and cute cafe. It took about 20 minutes for our food to be ready.

The chop cheese was delicious. I loved the texture of the ground meat and the melted cheese. The quesadilla was a little too salty and the steak was a bit chewy. The tater tots weren't great. The mango monster was solid, but I wouldn't get it again for $8.

Overall a solid experience. I would like to try some of their other menu items and maybe call ahead to avoid the wait.“

“excelente atención, comida deliciosa 💯 recomendados.“
