My husband and I were in there for lunch today, after waiting 45 minutes I asked how much longer. We had a small order of a shrimp quesadilla and two soups. They didn’t have our order anymore. They said they threw it away because someone...had an order similar to ours and wanted a refund. Fifteen minutes later or food was ready and an extra cookie was in the bag. Maybe they should have asked for the number back before refunding our order to someone else and refunded our money to us for screwing up our order. A cookie big whoop. My husband said we will not be back ever and I really like the food but he was not a happy camper. NoraMore

The food is good, worth the price. However, prepare for poor service. We almost memorized the menu waiting for service. Getting a hot coffee top-off at 2pm in the afternoon took 15 minutes of holding up my empty cup plus speaking with my wait person...(5 minutes after speaking to her).More

Great food. Pastry was delicious. Street tacos were really good. Cubano was fantastic. I can also recommend the buffalo chicken wrap.

We were looking for lunch after a hike in the parks of Rockford, and decided on this place. We'd tried their place on Alpine Road, and it was good. This was no exception. My sandwich was very tasty and good. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her...soup and sandwich. They have a nice espresso machine if you would like or have a variety of different soft drinks available. Social distance (tabled blocked off) and masks worn by the staff and required to be worn by those entering the establishment. I saw them sanitizing recently vacated tables as well. Sit near the front windows, so you can watch all the people buying pot and walking back to their cars. It's a LOT of people.More

My daughter and I just had the worst experience. We ordered breakfast and it was awful. The eggs were overcooked and everything else was dry and bland. When I returned my eggs to have them recooked the cashier apologized to the cook with an eye-roll....Never again.More

waited 1 hour and 7 minutes from the time we ordered until our meal was served. The fruit cup was the size of a thimble and had 6 small pieces of fruit. Thought I was back in the Army on fat boys portions. I would...think a place with this slow of service would have more comfortable chairs.More

Mary's Market has great curb appeal but has become inconsistent with there menu and friendly service is hit or miss, Example- Their grilled cheese with artichoke. Might be nicely browned or soggy, artichokes might be nicely chopped and well distributed or a couple of quarters...plopped on. As a restaurant manager myself consistency is a top priority!More

This is a nice place with a local vibe. Food wasn't fancy, but it was certainly good. Staff seemed friendly, but a bit overworked. Need to wait in line to place your order.

I visit Mary's Market regularly, at this location and others in town. I've never had a bad experience here. With so many options to choose from, foodies and picky eaters can all find what they crave. I've never had a bad experience with service or...food. The soups change daily alongside a few choices always available. Sandwiches are good, baked goods are always great. The muffins are a must.More

Much like a Starbucks but better food and since it is a restaurant more seating. Never had a bad meal. Love the seedy begal sticks.

We are local customers that have been loyal to this business for years and know many of the employees. Today’s visit was the worst experience ever. Most of the staff were doing their best but it was obvious that no one was in charge. Their...claim to fame is generally their flavored coffee. Today, that was even difficult to get. The orders were not complete and tables were not cleaned. The staff was continually apologizing for the service. Not fair to the employees or customers! They need to improve the management to save the business for our community!More

We happened to be staying directly across the street and lucked into this find (new location is on State Street). Good lattes and baked goods. We went back for breakfast and lunch. My Monte Cristo was wonderful! A huge improvement from the hotel breakfast offering.

We dropped in for lunch on a lark. It was the day of the BIG SNOWSTORM that the weather people made such a fuss about. Schools closed, you know, the whole shebang. The roads were clear enough to drive, so we drove. For starters, this...place is nicely done. Nice interior, nice lights, nice decorations. The sign on the wall "Our soups don't come in bags" made a point with me - they make their soups right there, using their recipes. Nice. We were kind of split (well, my wife loves breakfast, while I'm more lunchy at lunch), so the waitress asked if we'd like a breakfast menu, and when my wife said yes, she promptly provided one. Good service too - she worked to keep our glasses filled without having to ask or give "the look" (you know, the one you give servers who haven't seen you since you ordered, and you're wondering what is up, so you give them "the look" so they know to talk with you?) I digress. So, we ordered. I had their Turkey Club Wrap, which comes with one side so I had their pasta salad, and my wife had Mary's Florentine Quich. The quich came with hash browns and two slices of buttered toast, and was good. The hash browns were good without seasoning, and tasted good (not like shortening!) The Turkey Club Wrap was tasty - nicely wrapped and full of turkey and club stuff including bacon. So, good service, good food, nice place.More

Food was delicious. Ladies room was disgusting. When I mentioned it to an employee she laughed and said they’ve been busy. She could have just said thank you we will take care of it.

My husband and I hadn't been there since the remodel, so we checked it out. Great atmosphere and amazing food... from the soups to the macaroni & cheese to the variety of desserts (we couldn't decide so we took a few home).
