Mary's Place Cafe - Halifax

The food was fantastic and the service was incredibly quick.

The food is good my biggest problem is deciding if I want breakfast for lunch or a good hot turkey sandwhich. Very quick service, you can call them and have your food ready in 10 minutes! Great for quick lunches.

I love the diner food. It's good. It's just not worth the price anymore. The prices have been jacked recently, and breakfast for two is now in the $25-30 range. It's a bit much for a regular breakfast that isn't anything special.

I have had mixed feelings about Mary's so far. The tornado burger just blew my mind. 3 six ounce patties are not for the faint hearted. . literally. I loved it! On the other hand, the lamb kofta (kafta) wasn't tender enough for me. Kinda on the chewy side which I did not enjoy much, but I did like the lentil rice, salad and hummus. To be honest, I probably should give their other menu a few chances but so far I am on the edge. The staff is very polite and helpful though so it's always nice whenever I go there so would most certainly try their other dishes. Also, 98% of their menu has gluten free options.

I definitely prefer the Mary's Place on Robie St much smaller, the regulars are friendly, and it's a nice place to relax. On Spring Garden it was packed and loud (not an unpleasant loud but loud enough to want to just eat and get out . The staff were definitely working hard and well, everyone was super friendly. Great place, maybe I just came at a random rush, as I overheard another girl say she had never seen it so crowded. Oh, and amazing food, too. :
