I wish I could give this zero stars because the service here was absolutely terrible!!! the food was sub par. The ambience was okay. the waitress passed our table several times and just looked but didn't accommodate us at all. we actually had to go to the desk and ask for our own stuff. this was the first time I've been here and I had heard good things about it. this will be the last time I ever come.

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.

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.

The service was great, staff was so attentive and the food came out quickly. My husband and I ordered omelets and they were phenomenal. I ordered the café miel and it was so delicious. We are visiting from Arizona but we would definitely make it a point to come back next time we are in town.

Heather truly brightened my day with her wonderful cheerful attitude. Food was amazing. Presentation was perfect. Service was above and beyond. The experience really cheered me up after a bad day at work. Thank you Heather for your professionalism. I will definitely be back again. .

We try to get to Mary's Market when visiting Rockford, Not anymore! In the past, I've had great food - from sandwiches to trays of desserts. This time we joined friends for lunch. We should have left with the sticky menu's. The prices were great but the food was bland to bad. The "seasonal quiche" had a paper like crust with a gooey, bland filling. Skip this place!

The service was excellent, the food fresh and very tasty. We had the honey chipotle chicken tacos and the Monte Carlo. The food came quickly, with a great presentation and generous portions. The Monte Carlo was melty and cheesy and, of course, the bread wa was homemade and delicious, along with the accompanying compote. The tacos had a myriad of ingredients and flavors and the two tacos were huge. The fruit cup was fresh and the steak fries had a nice smattering of spices. All in all, a great meal for weary, hungry travelers. I highly recommend this restaurant!

ordered a southwest chopped salad, for carry out, got home no sales receipt in the bag, the container of salad was a square clear leftover container very small. A month ago and for months before that it was served in a round black bottom huge container, not going back,
The chicken in their caesar wrap was hard as a rock and borderline inedible. Would not order again.

Ordered a cake for my daughter online. Got a call the day of her birthday that there was an issue with the online ordering system and they wouldn't have the cake. Offered no substitutes. Had to scramble to find a cake the same day as her birthday. Would not order from again.

Had the gourmet vegetable stack sandwich and was disappointed. The worst veggie sandwich I ever ate at a restaurant. The sandwich included one piece of lettuce, slice of cumber, top half of the green pepper that was not sliced to eat, two slices of cheese (because it came with 2 types) and a small amount of the mustard spread. There was no tomato and the bread disintegrated as I ate it. The sweet potato and tomato soup was flavorful though.We had to wait for the five employees standing near the entrance working to acknowledge us and weren't sure if they knew we were waiting to be seated. Don't think our waitress wanted to be at work that day since she didn't even crack a smile.Won't be going back.

They have AMAZING gluten free goodies! Their gf cookies are so yummy and always fresh. I love their skillets, omelets and gf pancakes. They also have great espresso drinks. Always quick and friendly service.

July 30, 2022. Table for 3. Meal orders placed at the same time, I would hope, at any rate 2 of the 3 meals arrived kinda hot the third meal arrived 9 minutes later. Since no one ate till we all had our food, 2 of us had cold meals. I ordered the eggs Benedict which arrived at my table hard cooked. I basically cut into a shell less boiled egg, it was not what I was expecting. Wait staff said thier cook was on vacation to explain why one of our meals arrived so late. I might try again when the cook returns from vacation., it just could been an off day.
