A stapel in the local community. Serving great breakfast. Great event gathering hall for special occasion.

Posting a review because our breakfast was exceptional. The cambo Biscuit and Gravy was great. The biscuits are fresh and soft, with a surprisingly balanced gravy. They were busy this morning, and it would have been so easy to over- or under-cook items to deliver a typical, good breakfast. We’ll be coming back.

Good food, great staff, and a good price for what you get. They stay steady busy but food is usually out promptly. This is one of our go to spots for a nice breakfast.

Real eggs, real French toast, really good prices. Plenty of space in the dining area, not noisy, friendly staff. I'm driving an hour and a half to come back. I've lived all over the world and you dont find this quality in a restaurant.

Cozy and heartwarming place Food is great. The eggs super fresh. You can see how fresh it is from York color Extra crispy potato Yammy

Wow is all I can say. This place was so cute and locally owned very classic diner vibe. I dont know who Grandma Mary is but I love her cooking. Service was on point.

Great Breakfast. Friendly service. Wonderful coffee!!!

On very short notice, Grandma Mary's catered an event for my family in Prairie du Sac. The food was amazing and they were very helpful. I'm looking forward to eating in their restaurant in the near future and will always count on them for any catering needs we have in the future.
