Mary's Kitchen

Awesome restaurant! Our server Nicole was very sweet and gave great service, and the hostess was sweet as well. Food was amazing and came out very quickly, had the WRV bagel which was awesome and eggs cooked perfectly. Would definitely visit again and again when in the area.

We love Tuesdays here and always enjoy the beef tips over either mashed or rice, select a side. And it comes with a warm roll. Really great. This is our steady go to place when we visit VA Beach. Breakfast and lunch only, plenty of free psrking.

I had the meat lovers omlett and added veggies. The food was very good. We were looking for a decent breakfast spot in the area, and this was it. The service was friendly and the establishment was clean. I would come back.4 Stars

The food was good; *really* good. Nice variety of dishes, and fair sized portions. The decor was fun, interesting, clean and comfortable. The service, though, while friendly, was SO slow. It wasn't even that busy, either ~ half the tables were empty. We waited forever for our waitress to show up, and though she delivered the food fairly quickly, we didn't see her again until long after we were done eating. Then we had to wait in line at the register to pay. I would probably go back, but certainly would budget more time for my visit.

My husband has been trying to get me to eat at Mary's for brunch for a couple of months now and when I ran the recent 10-miler last weekend we decided to come in here so I could carb out. My in-laws came with us and we waited for about 15-20 at 11am on a Sunday minutes but it moved very quickly. We were seated by the friendly GM who took our drink orders to help with a newer waitress who was clearly overwhelmed and took about 15 minutes to get to us to take our order. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and a kid's happy face fruit pancake, my father-in-law ordered the adult pancakes, my husband the drilled cheese with fries, and my mother-in-law the breakfast bagel sandwich with eggs, cheese and turkey bacon and a side of fruit. Coffee was decent but refills were a bit hard to get - when the food arrived everyone's came but my husband's and my pancake was wrong and had no fruit so I had to send it back. Our waitress said somehow his was deleted and she'd have one made quickly. After about 15 minutes of waiting (and eating while he waited) my father-in-law approached the GM who eventually came to tell us that our waitress was new, not doing too well, and had not only not put in the order, but had not told anyone AFTER his food didn't come so it wasn't even being made. He apologized profusely, said the food was comped for my husband and he was rushing it out. After about 30 minutes from the time our food arrived, his grilled cheese came out. It was delicious - buttery and cheesy and perfectly cooked. He liked it. My biscuits and gravy was absolutely wonderful - thick and fresh and soft buttery biscuits with yummy gravy. My father-in-law and I agreed the pancakes were only ok. My mother-in-law's bagel sandwich looked good. They have a large menu and tons of lunch specials daily to choose from as well as lots of pies and desserts in a display up front. There is a nice bar area you can also sit at and it's a local, relaxed feel inside with surfboard decor. The food was good - our waitress was trying very hard and was very sweet - and the GM was excellent. We will come back and give them another try - they handled it well.

Cute, clean, busy, not super loud, pleasant.Our server was Joy, and while she was every so lovely & attentive, she was slammed and didn't have a ton of extra time. That's just the way things are now.I got the avocado toast, and it was pretty basic- nothing too fancy. I did add one scrambled egg with cheese on top. I would come again! Very good!

Eat Like A Local is their motto. If this is how locals eat, they must be very happy folks. Great diner food. Mary's Feast was a sampler of their breakfast hits. Pancakes are a specialty, so don't miss those. Big portions, great tasting food with friendly service. My new favorite at VB. Try it, you'll like it. Great local atmosphere.

I am a creamed chipped-beef fan. After dozens of restaurants, I have concluded "without any hesitation" that "Mary's Kitchen" chipped-beef is the worst!The chipped-beef is way too salty, has hardly any beef, the quantity is small, and the gravy is way too thick and tasteless.In addition, the breakfast potatoes are a common frozen commercial brand and are dry & flavorless.In the positive side, "Mary's Kitchen" has a super-riffic serving staff - they always give me "More Smiles Than I Came In With!" and make me wanna return.After 3 tries at "Mary's" chipped beef, I will not order them ever again - Stouffer's store brand chipped-beef would be a better choice for "Mary's" to serve.How about some fresh potatoes too?the atmosphere is spacious with a BIG business feel, rather than a desired "ma & pa" local's feel."Run-A-Way Bill" was here! - AGAINWednesday 12.06.23p.s.Thanks for the smiles "Shannon" (this time) & "Tyler" on my previous visit.

The building was super cold but during the summer that's a good thing. There's a beachy atmosphere. Our server was very friendly but they seemed a bit short staffed. She was training a new server. The food was delicious except the hash browns were a little chewy. Overall a cute place to have breakfast or lunch.

Great breakfast with a large menu and homemade biscuits filled with love. Servers were friendly. Good place to eat
