What People Are Saying About Hamburger Mary's

The Scene
Making a bold statement with cabaret colors, this gay-friendly burger bar lives up to its reputation of kitschy, casual dining. Posters are hung sideways, and receipts are returned to customers in sassy stilettos. Large booths hug the front windows, while a mix of circular tables fill in the space between the entrance and the back bar. RuPaul videos share TV time with Brandy and Lindsay Lohan. Service is friendly, efficient and timely.
The Food
Appetizers, burgers and cold and hot sandwiches may bear flashy monikers like "Buffy (The Hamburger Slayer)," and "Her Hot Legs," and dishes don't stray too far from the predictable. Worthy starters include golden brown chicken tenders and stuffed olives and jalapeno poppers served in a martini glass. Teriyaki flavoring and pineapple sweeten the half-pound Big Kahuna Burger; crispy bacon, grilled onions, cheddar and jack cheeses are sinful, welcome additions to the Queen Mary patty.

My husband and I were looking for a new place to try this afternoon. He suggested this place, so we went. We were seated pretty quickly, just had to wait for a table to be cleaned off. Host was very helpful and friendly. Our waitress on the other hand... We ordered drinks, I ordered a drink, my husband a soda. It took about 15 minutes for my drink to come, when she said it was going to be a few more minutes for the soda, he switched to a drink and I asked for a water when she had a minute. Which didn't seem to make her very happy. Ordered, food came out fairly quick, it was decent. But our server was too busy waiting on a different table to even check in. Then she disappeared. We had to ask the host for water, which he brought immediately. She did show up to drop off the check (which I agree with previous reviewer, is disgusting to put in a shoe!!) Maybe we were just expecting more, but we will not be going back to Hamburger Mary's! I think we will try this Huey's, the other's have mentioned.

This is a fun place with really decent flavorful food. A big variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and some really creative drinks. Most of the staff is fun and seem to enjoy their work. Nothing fancy but never been disappointed!

This is the worst restaurant in Andersonville. If you want a good burger, go across the street to Huey's. At Mary's you will just be paying extra for horrible food, bad service, bad attitude and a bad time. How you can make a burger taste that bland is beyond understanding, and a half pound of bad burger is hard to swallow. Don't waste your time telling the owner, he thinks this place is a burger palace. Come to think about it, just don't waste your time in this restaurant.
