After struggling through the free breakfast at Holiday Inn Express, I decided to go here. I was greeted warmly at the counter and ordered typical eggs over easy cooked perfectly with 3 slices of bacon and home made delicious English muffin toast and bottomless coffee. It was so good I went out of my way to go back a second time and had scrumptious french toast again with their bakery bread. Service was super and I would go back in a second.

We got ice cream, portions were small for a large ice cream. It was made very skinny tall did not even cover the rim around the cone but the cherry dip was delicious. Tables outside were clean too.

Rick's Dough Boys

Reviewed By mrpesce - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Rick's is your average local pizza place. If you've eaten pizza in 'sany other town in the country you've eaten at Rick's. The menu is the same old standards and the pizza is just ok. The one thing that makes Rick's stand out is the decor of the place. It's not like your average pizza place but I want pizza, not cars.

We visited this cafe while stopping through Saint Mary's. Had a very nice meal. I ordered a lunchtime salad -- greens, orange wedges, craisins, blue cheese crumbles and red vinagrette dressing. It was presented beautifully and was very filling. My husband ordered the special -- meatball sub, which came with melon slices and chips. His was also very good and filling. We would definitely return.

Marienstadt Public House Beer Garden

Reviewed By cissi15905

Small German style restaurant-Beer Garden. Unpretentious. Authentic, and I am very familiar with very good German cuisine-I've been there several times & am also German heritage. Charming with indoor & outdoor seating. This is what you look for when you want to find local flavor & are really tired of the Same-o restaurant chains. We were pleasantly surprised.

Don's Pizza

Reviewed By SZQ - Pittsburgh

We ordered delivery from Don's pizza to our hotel in St. Marys.
Our order was accurate and the food arrived hot and ready to eat. You must try their pizza and wings. Delicious, and not overly greasy. My husband enjoyed his hoagie (baked sub) also.
A pleasant surprise while traveling!

Very reasonably priced dining place with a bar. They get your meal out quickly and it's clean. I would take clients there for a meal and feel confident our service would be good and the meal tasty. The atmosphere is uplifting and the dining area decorated with unique quotes painted right into the timber.

Tablespoons Cafe & Deli

Reviewed By Jean Z - Chicago, Illinois

Eclectic, country furnishings, tin walls and ceilings set the atmosphere for this small-town cafe. The food is simple but satisfying: made-to-order sandwiches, salads, soup (especially the local German favorite Spatzle), etc. It's nothing fancy but that's what Saint Marys is all about. The place is a good value; my mom and I had lunch and dessert for less than $25. It's also one of the only places in town where you'll get a good fresh salad. A local bakery, StoryBook Sweets supplies the desserts; the peanut butter brownies were fantastic.
