Broadway Mary's - Lorain

My wife had this place on her radar after wr arrived in Lorain. This place is capital A Awesome! My wife ordered a panini and I had the breakfast plate. Both meals were very good. We will make it a point to come here when we are in Lorain!

The best burgers in Lorain, tasty all-day breakfast, and bottomless coffee mugs! Mary’s has a fun, funky atmosphere that doesn’t quit: Glance at the ceiling, corners,walls, etc. and find interesting and even exotic decor. And Mary? The sweetest, most accommodating, attentive proprietor/hostess you could hope for. Mary earns special kudos for her community involvement and commitment to a reinvigorated downtown Lorain (where parking is easy and plentiful).

The table I first sat at was very wobbly almost spilled the drinks. Messed up on our drink order and food. Had hair in my food and my moms. didn’t have anything on menu. Dirt in the bottom of our water cups. Egg on my tator tots was so runny and Slimy. Overall not satisfied.

$30.00 for two sips of coffee, we left. Our server was still in pajamas shuffling around not awake when we arrived, we did come right when they opened, nothing was ready as in coffee station ...you'd think employees set this up before open time? Idk... paid 1st (kinda odd) before getting food/service, no receipt after asking for one a few times. We waited and was more than patient understanding they had just opened, more ppl spilled in as we waited, we notice our server with a change of clothes now...still shuffling around not awake, we watched a table that came in after us get fully served, we waited some more, one small plate of eggs was shuffled out and set at the table, no utensils...we waited some more for the rest of order to come out, by that time a fly landed on the eggs that were cold...no toast or bacon in sight to eat with it, pancakes come out... banana rum somethings they looked amazing except the big human hair right in plain view on the plate... idk how my server missed that... oh wait... ? no bacon or tots came out either, you get your food in shifts there not all together at once, always waiting for something to arrive. Crumbs from night before left on floors/tables. something else I picked up on... the plates and cups seem to have white fuzzy hairs on them, I'm guessing from a dish towel possibly...cute atmosphere, ppl are nice, food looks great, I don't think I'll be back though... if they can leave food peices on tables and floors over night in the dinning area for us to see, I'd hate to see what the kitchen looks like in back. Place was fully staffed both times I'd been there, no reason for nobody cleaning up at the end of each day or before open time.

4.25 stars. A few tweaks and it’s a 5. Food took about 45 minutes. Wasn’t too busy but food was excellent so I don’t mind waiting. Staff was friendly. They need to have silverware out at tables. Or hand it to you when you order. Prices are actually too cheap. $8 old fashioned, $6 for bacon and eggs and toast. Add $2, make more money, and that would still be a reasonable price. Put some menus on tables. It’s on the wall and you can’t see it until you approach the order counter. Also a sign to seat yourself would be nice. Decor is awesome. Just a cool spot. Everyone loved the food. Will be back.
