Food not great but very good. Service fantastic. Simple no frills place for a good meal. Understandable that they've been around forever. Always consistent.

Mary Lou’s is a true gem. Delicious biscuits and gravy with every order. Staff is kind friendly and funny. Felt like family. Tasted like moms cooking.

One of the top places for breakfast food. Actually any food from here is good. Doesn't matter if breakfast or lunch.

Food was soooo good! Their biscuits and gravy are very good, best I've had in years. I ordered an omelet with bacon and they come with the biscuits and gravy, hash browns, and toast. All the food was top notch but the BnG are what really did it for me. Everyone I talk to there was very friendly as well just like most of the other reviews say! Can't wait till I'm in the area again so I can try other things on the menu

This place is a staple in Carbondale. The staff is friendly and make you feel like part of their family. My experiences here are always great. Make sure you try the biscuits and gravy!

Breakfast all day Yaya. Best biscuits and gravy I had in long time. Great service from the waitor we had serve us.

This place was awesome, the waiters we're always there. I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup, food was good ol home cooking. Will be back.

We heard this was a good place to have breakfast, our source was right! We had a great meal at Mary Lou's and would return if in Carbondale in the future. Thank you.

Excellent food, outstanding service from local owners! Will definitely be back again and again.

Not bad local restaurant. Tried the biscuit and gravy and the blt. Both were good. Nothing outstanding about the food but would definitely return.
