I was in Mars, PA to check out the Giant UFO that is in the middle of the town. After being in awe of the man made UFO I was hunger & craving coffee. Right across the street was The Grand Avenue Grille. It definitely had that down home, mom & pop dinner feel, which is totally my jam. It’s a cozy lil’ dinner that is very popular with the locals. We walked in and sat ourselves at an available table. Seating options are table booths or at the counter. Our waitress came over and greeted us warmly, gave us our menus & took our drink orders. The menu was simply awesome! Packed with western PA comfort food & the prices were stunningly affordable!! Shortly after she returned with our drinks the took our order. The entree sizes were nice and big for an awesome price. I enjoyed every bite of my omelette, unbelievably tasty. My coffee was nice, hot and refreshed when our waitress stopped to check on us. I absolutely loved this place! I strongly recommend you stop and dine here. After go check out the awesome UFO across the street.

My wife and I both loved our experience at Grand Avenue Grille in Mars. My wife’s one sentence review, “this is my favorite breakfast place that we have gone to so far.”
The ambiance inside feels like a small town diner. Despite florescent lights, it’s not too bright, and it feels nice and comfy inside.
The menu is pretty big; there are a lot of options here. The prices are nearly half what I am used to paying. For instance, an omelet is between $5.75 and $7.00 from their cheapest to most expensive omelettes. I’m use to paying $10+ for an omelet anywhere else.
I went with Country Fried Steak and Eggs from the Main Line menu. It was $8. I will admit, the portion of steak was rather small, but the plate filled me up and was delicious. The potatoes were perfect. The sausage gravy was outstanding. And other than it’s small size, I loved everything about the steak.
My wife had the French Flyer, which is a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich between two pieces of french toast. She loved it, and I loved the bite I stole from her.
This place will definitely be in my rotation from now on.

my mom and i had been sat down at a table for ten minutes before being asked if we needed a menu or drinks. the owner herself was standing talking to a couple without greeting us for that entire time, and there were five customers total in the entire restaurant including us. the guy who took our order took five minutes to write it down at the table, and then another ten minutes to REWRITE our order before giving it to the kitchen. i had to go up and ask for ice, silverware, and re-ask for everything we needed twice. the owner brought us my moms gravy and threw it down on the table and barely spoke to us at all.
i used to love this place but im never going to be returning because no one should be treated like they’re a nuisance like that.

Waited 55 minutes for our food.
It was the longest I’ve ever waited for food and i had my two young kids which made the time very hard as they are young and that’s a long time for you to wait. Will not return there. Food wasn’t terrible but not the best I’ve had. Waitress was ok.

Great food in a place I call a “hole in the wall” type of place… in which I will return.

My colleagues and I had a pretty classic breakfast diner experience here. I would say the food was good and the prices were very reasonable. However, we arrived between two very large breakfast groups and we waited approximately 45 minutes for our food to arrive. Our server was very nice but clearly the staff was overwhelmed. I would wish to return if I could see that there wasn’t a major backup from a big group.
