Maria's Downtown in Ridgeway

Great meals.

Always great food with a welcoming atmosphere

What a gem! Affordable, friendly service and delicious breakfast!

Great little place , we had a good breakfast for a very reasonable price

We need to support local owned restaurants, me personally I am a foodie I eat out and get delivery often. The breakfast was fast filling and delicious. Parking: Lots behind restaurant

I loved the choices on the breakfast menu. Staff and coffee were pretty good

15 minutes wait for a coffee, 30 minutes wait for an omelette. I asked for more condiments, but the server never brought them. 1 side burnt 1 side uncooked hashbrown

Excellent little cafe/lunchroom right in the heart of the village. Food and service was outstanding. Especially the French . A shout out to the waitress who suggested we try mustard with our onion rings!!!!

I have no complaints, very cozy and welcoming. Love the staff, I can tell they actually care about making me happy. Great job, definitely stopping by again next time Im in town Food : 5/5

Best breakfast and lunch place in the region! Portions are good. Food is top quality and fresh. Staff are super nice and the service is top tier. I would eat here for every meal if I could!

A fantastic local breakfast place.

Called for take out and hung up told to call back later. Lol

Decent food, nice town location. Happy someoneone is open Saturday although they decided to close their doors sn hour early and turn many potential customers away. Busy and usually full around lunch on Saturday. Waited a long time for coffee refills and anything else we needed at our table. Typically really like this diner but theyre hit or miss. People we were with ordered steak and eggs and said it was really good. Well be back again because we like supporting local; just stay open the hours posted on your door or place a notice that you are closing earlier to avoid upset feelings.

The food was decent but it took us almost an hour to get our breakfast.. either they are low staff in the kitchen or the chef must be weak. for such a small spot the service should be much better.. at least the servers were friendly.

Nice old-fashioned place, great food great service..

Great food, fabulous pricesand staff. Recommend going on a cooler day.

The Reuben was just OK, but the service was good.

Had a group of 11, the staff handled it wonderfully. We got there well before they closed. Great place to eat!!!

Update.. Ditto lol. Great service, wonderful owner who overseas everything. Best poached eggs around!!!

Solid food, great service, and charming atmosphere. We love this place!!

Marias was super busy, but the staff was on it! Delicious breakfast that filled our stomachs, the they serve coffee is delicious. I would go back if I was in the area again.

Are severs were not taking are orders right not friendly at all

Always good, friendly staff

Delicious breakfast great staff love coming here!

Friendly and a great eggs benny. My favorite breakfast spot in town.

Food is good...service is better! Thank you Michelle for making us feel at home. Will be back!

Love going there with my Mom

Great greasy spoon breakfast, reasonably priced, friendly service

First time. Breakfast was yummy. Had eggs Benedict

First time there... a bit busy.. .took a little time to cook our breakfast... but it was ...DELICIOUS! ,,friendly waitress... great prices... love the *at home* atmosphere! Will definitely be going back!

Nice little breakfast spot. Busy and they could use more staff on Sunday. But would go back.

Great food even better service.

Great place for breakfast or lunch! Friendly staff, good prices, and tasty food. Just wish they stayed open later- closing at 1 pm is too early!!

Great little breakfast spot in the heart of Ridge road. Simple menu simple decor great prices

We ate here 3 days in a row while on vacation. The food was excellent, very reasonable prices, and great service. Our 6 year old refused to go anywhere else after the first day. Well definitely be back.

Our second visit to this breakfast spot. First time a few years ago we waited well over an hour for our food and ended up leaving because it took so long. The restaurant wasnt busy at that time. Today, the restaurant was busy, so we were expecting to have to wait - no big deal. We sat, ordered our coffee and breakfast. While waiting, after ordering, several other tables were sat and their orders were taken. Well after an hour of waiting, three of those new tables were served before us. The same food we had ordered. We again left without eating. Will not be giving this establishment another chance. Its a shame because there arent many other breakfast options in this town..

Second time we have tried this place for breakfast, both times we waited for menus, both times we placed our order only to wait forever for drinks and food, both times we watched multiple tables get served that were seated after us. Head to the breakfast beacon for much better service. Also the place was an oven the day we were there, no AC. We will never be back sadly, we support all other local restaurants in the area but this one I would avoid.

Excellent portion sizes. Staff makes sure your drinks are always topped up ( coffee , tea etc. ) Love the large windows and old fashioned feel. Prices are excellent.

Seats were available. Service and food were excellent. Staff was pleasant. Prices exceptional.

Service was pleasant. Breakfast was great. Price was good. Would have given 5 stars if it had been warmer.

Love the food and the people who work there!!! The service is the best Parking: Not enough and not close enough to the restaurant. Food : 5/5 |

A bit slow, mediocre food. Pancakes were very thick and heavy like it was a mistake. Really needs an update.

Hot and fresh everytime! Highly recommended!

It was pouring rain and my family and I just wanted a nice warm meal. We went to this diner and were greeted by a hostess/server just shaking her head no and saying were at capacity. No offer of where else to dine, takeout or waiting for a table to become free. We were simply told no service. I would like to give the server the benefit of the doubt and assume she was overwhelmed with the restaurant being at capacity, however, part of me believes that it was simply because we are a family of colour that we were offered no service and no assistance. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was just an overall disappointing experience.

Great service and good food for reasonable prices.

A perfect traditional Canadian breakfast! Very good!

Best breakfast Ive had in years.

Great food!

Great food and very friendly staff

Great breakfast as airways

very small so it gets busy wuick but the servicr and food are great! cant wait to come back

Nice place to go for breakfast an old building reminds me of going to Grandmas place staff is excellent and the food was delicious

Covid is tough,I know but 30 minute wait for 2 eggs,homefries and toast.

Love the omelets.

Real home fries with fried onions! The best in the Region! Great coffee!

Review changed, take out not available anymore. this dosnt work for those of us who dont want to sit shoulder to shoulder with people we dont know. Had never been let down by this place previously. Just one more place off the list. Gotta love having a small town with zero places worth going.

Great service Especially since I arrived close to closing

Food was decent, but nobody is asked to show proof of vaccination, and I was sitting shoulder to shoulder with a stranger I didnt know. When I inquired about not being asked about proof of vaccination I was told, that everybody signs in, the waitresses wear masks, they know most of the people that eat there, and sometimes they are too busy to ask. Sorry rules are rules, we wont be back.

Good food, good prices, friendly staff

It was okay. Waited a long long time for just drinks. It shouldnt take 20 mins for a cup of coffee thats already brewed. The food was just regular diner food.

Marias is the best breakfast in niagara hands down no competition!

Great food and service

Maria is very nice and welcoming. One of the best for breakfast around. I drive from St. Catharines to Crystal Beach just to dine here. Amazing food and staff.

Its not pretty but its worth it. The service and food are excellent.

Cute quaint place, friendly staff!

Great food great staff

Had the Captain Crunch French Toast. Delicious!!! A small restaurant in Ridgeway, serving breakfast and lunch, with that down home atmosphere. Food is made to order so dont be in a rush. If you are, this little gem isnt for you.

Great service and good food

Not great ambiance. Servers not very welcoming and a little stand off-ish. Little attention paid to detail.

Best BLTs

I love it here, food cooked fresh, funny staff, the owner has a great sense of humor and is very nice. Great place to eat,, and work.

I dont know why this place has such a high reviews rating! In my opinion if someone has no idea how to cook and serve customers, shouldnt be in this business, period!

Nice place, good foof

Went there about a month ago we had a table of 10.. took an hour and a half for our food to come out! My fiancè didnt even get hers until everyone elses done eating. Couple orders were wrong. Severs were nice but didnt make up for the poor kitchen staff. We wont be back thats forsure.

Breakfast is always delicious! Friendly and very courteous staff. Service is always quick! Busy though because of the wonderful food!

Great Food & Great Atmosphere. Love the homemade homefries Will Go Back For breakfast !!

All fresh. And very good food.

I had an out of body experience after eating an omelette here and happened to meet Elvis. He told me if he was still alive, he would eat at Marias. Damn good food.
