Definitely a local vibe and super friendly staff (like you’re one of the locals). Order at bar. Seat yourself. Awesome jalapeño burgers, onion rings and steak fries. We inhaled them and finished off with tasty tap beers. Excellent prices. Loved it! Will go back to try wings.

Maria's is a locals bar! So much so that anyone that goes in feels like a local! They might peek at you as you walk through the door, but they are simply hoping new friends are walking in. The food is great and has been for years. Bartenders are friendly, and their drinks are delivered with a smile.It's a cash only bar, but has been for years.First come, first serve seating.Come check it out for yourself! See you there!

A good local place that has amazing burgers and fried pepperoni. Small and darker interior but not in a negative way.
Definitely a local’s bar. Friendly barmaid, looked like she knew most at those at the bar and what they drank. We did not try any food. Had bottled beers and they were ice cold and very reasonably priced. $3.50 for Coor’s light bottles. It was a Monday early afternoon so not much happening and probably a normally slow time of day. Cash Only.
