Awesome diner food downtown!
This place has a great back-home environment, no matter where your home is. Very friendly service. The stack hits the spot!

Mary's Cafe
For what it is, Mary's is the best. Small and intimate, homestyle cooking. Exceptional breakfast (Stacker) provides more than ample portion. Staff is incredibly nice, courteous and attentive. Food arrives quickly and- SURPRISE- hot from the kitchen. The hot sauce available was better than tabasco brand, doesn't overwhelm with vinegar. I can't say enough about Mary's. I ate their twice during my visit to Chicago. A major plus is the location... you can get great Gyro's next door and some of the best Italian food right around the corner, at Volare. In downtown, there is no need to venture off this block to get great food. Mary's is only open for breakfast and lunch, sadly... but again, go to Volare for dinner. I didn't go there to use the bathroom, so I can't rate that experience... again, the food is exceptional, unless your Grandma was a bad cook and you are used to plastic, frozen, immitation home cooking.

this place scrimps on everything
This place had only one kind of sugar free sweetener, did not carry tabasco (only some off brand hot sauce that tasted horrible) and didn't accept AmEx! Further, no hand paper towels in the bathroom and food was served on plastic plates. Left me with the impression this place was pinching every penny possible...food was just so so, coffee weak and worthless.
