Went on Sunday morning at 8am with a party of 2. A very comfortable and homey place to eat. The place definitely needs some structural work but you can tell it's very clean and well cared for. The staff was very friendly, tentative and informative. Felt very welcomed. They also seemed to be well staffed, a lot of places feel like they need more people but this place had everyone well taken care of and quick service. The decor is a bit strange, you can tell it's mostly winter sports themed but there are a lot of strange and old holiday decor items also. The food was good. The bacon was a little on the thin and sad looking side with otherwise the food was good. I would come back.

I have been enjoying the people and the food at Mary Mary’s for years. Never had a bad meal. If you go on Saturday they serve Eggs Benedict. Delicious hollandaise sauce !!! If your food takes a bit longer because they’re busy, chill out. It’s it's entirely worth it.

This is a friendly local cafe. It has the usual cafe breakfast fare. The home fries had no flavor, no spice and no onions or peppers. The eggs were well cooked, and the biscuits were flaky and soft. The one specialty is waffles. The batter is sweetened, and they applied a million pecans.

This place is like ya fav mom & pop place with all the regulars. Soon as you walk in all eyes are on you. Staff is friendly. Very quick to take your order and get the food out. I’ve only been 2 times & always got my food to go. Roast beef sandwich and mashed potatoes. 2 slices of white bread, warm roast beef, power gravy and box mashed potatoes. Could use some work. Breakfast potatoes w/onions. Delicious It was so good I went black a 2nd time for more! Chocolate cake. Delicious got it again

The food was good, although the service was a little slow. It may be due to high load at the time. We ordered omelettes, pancakes and biscuits with gravy (vegetarian). They were all good. The pancakes with strawberries and cream stood out!

My boyfriend and I came here around 9:20am as we were waiting for an event nearby that started at 10am. As we entered, it was super packed and there was a large party waiting to be seated. Luckily, the waitresses noticed us and told us that a party of two could be seated right away. We were seated at a booth near a window which was cute and intimate. We were offered coffee right away and it's wonderful that the servers here are always wandering around at coffee at the right times to refill as my boyfriend never had an empty or cold cup of coffee. When we were ordering, we were told that they were backed up on orders but we didn't mind since we had time. I got the SOS full order with a side of grits with my boyfriend got the Mary Mary's breakfast bite. The grits were a good size but it wasn't really worth getting. I feel like they should add cheese on top for the price too. The gravy was great with my breakfast plate and my boyfriend enjoyed his breakfast bite. We'll come back once we try some of the other spots around as there are quite a bit a few diners in the Spanaway area to which one is our favorite but so far this is not a bad spot for those who enjoy American breakfast, lunch or dinner. The service here is definitely friendly no matter who comes by. They greet you with such kindness and bid you farewell with the same amount. They are also pretty good about checking in at the right times. The interior here feels very classical retro American diner. The bathroom here was clean and well-maintained.
