We stopped for lunch about 1:30pm at Mary's Market on McFarland in Rockford. Sandwich and salad were outstanding! Desserts were also good, but a bit pricey and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself, including the tables and bathroom were dirty with probably eight tables with dishes stacked all over them. Watched an employee use the same damp towel over and over to clean a few tables so customers could sit down. After we left, wondered how sanitary the kitchen was where our food was prepared.

This is how my toast came for my breakfast! Thrown in this bag not sealed or with a container. I’ve never seen this before! How disgusting. I just threw it away. I ordered 4 pieces of bacon and got two! Food was act good though

We went Mary's Market for the first time, it is a bit confusing when you go in, the door on the side closest to State St takes you into a sit down restaurant with full table service, the entrance on the other side takes you into a counter service type restaurant. We entered the counter service door and walked through to the table service area. They share the same menu it's just one side you have a waitress who delivers everything to you the other side you order at the counter and get your own drinks, silverware and such.There were several things on the menu that looked good so we tried several things.One ordered a Cubano sandwich which came with 1 side, so caprese pasta salad was chosen. The Cubano was not like any I have had which is fine however the pork was not a slice of pork it was a pile of meat that tasted like dark meat turkey, it was supposed to have stone ground mustard which i had one little tiny dot on one side so it seemed rather dry. The caprese salad was very good and really unique. We ordered a cup of chicken soup, which I would not do again as it cost $6.29 and had 2 noodles, 1 little piece of chicken the rest was celery carrots and a very spicy broth. The other meal ordered was a tuna melt. The tuna melt was very good, made well with a perfect ratio of tuna to bread, that sandwich also came with your choice of 1 side so steak fries were ordered.

Unfortunately, we will not be using Mary's Market for future parties. We've consistently used their catering services for showers and other events. In placing an online catering order with their app (which I highly recommend not doing), the order came through wrong. And, according to the individual I spoke with on the phone, it is not their fault, it's the app's fault. It is astonishing to me this was feedback we were provided. Why are we not working through a solution, but instead blaming an app, vs taking accountability for a system the restaurant has clearly purchased to service their customers? Not only did we receive 1/5 of the Baby Shower catering order, the lunch was delayed (due to the team having to prepare a number of wraps to make up for the "apps fault."). Each wrap cost 12.95, YES 13 dollars for ONE WRAP that comes with no sides, and in addition to paying a premium for a catered shower, the only remediation Mary's Market provided my family was with a "free tray of cookies," 11 days after my sister's shower. I'm in sales, and I'd be fired if I treated a customer this way. The way to maintain long term customers, and recommendations is to make things right. I'm not asking for my money back, I simply asked for a discount as we were not provided with the service in which we paid. I will not be patronizing Mary's Market and will not be recommending to my friends or network.

This was my 2nd time here and it has surpassed my expectations once again. I got a half sandwich & salad and it was healthy, delicious, and way more food than Panera! You get to choose your bread (I got sourdough), up to 3 meats on the sandwich, plus choice of cheese, sauces (i chose pesto), and toppings (lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, sprouts, etc). Then you choose between 2 different salads or your choice of soup. Plus a cookie! Everything here tastes home made and delicious..I just can't say enough good things about this place. If you don't worry about being healthy, they have really yummy comfort foods too, like Mac & cheese ?. You order at the counter, get a number, then they bring it to your table. Their bakery is amazing too - my boyfriend got a raspberry cheesecake and we thought about getting a pie to go!

Heather was my server and was an absolute joy! I was stuck between pancakes or french toast, she recommended the french toast which did not disappoint!! She was super kind and didn’t mind that my toddler made a mess which was super helpful for this new mom. Definitely would go back and request Heather for any future visits!

Stopped by before driving back to the big city. Great local cafe, the breakfast was great. I had the French toast with sausage. Very good! I grabbed a few cookies on the way out too.

The place was great. I had the country fresh omelette and my waitress, heather, recommended the pancakes for the side which was delicious. She was very attentive, nice and made sure I had everything I needed when I needed it. Definitely recommend this place.
