Marion Street Eatery

This is not just a restaurant, it's a cozy place to meet, eat and make great memories. Today we had a birthday breakfast and the staff greeted us saying Happy Birthday and had our table all setup for a mini party. Food was beyond excellent. Service was beyond fabulous. Such a gem of a place.

I found this place by accident and fell in love with it! Such an elegant but cozy atmosphere. The server was a very nice and sweet lady. The food was awesome!! It is more on expensive side, but is totally worth it! Everything is served beautifully and the food is not only delicious, but also aesthetically pleasing I will certainly come here again! P.S. it might look a bit shady from outside, but trust me, it is a hidden amethyst inside an ordinary-looking rock

Food was delicious! Good sized menu for breakfast and lunch. Not overwhelming. Gets fairly busy, so expect a wait, but the place is quite big. Be aware if you have a gluten intolerance. A party member called ahead of time and spoke with a manager, who assured could accommodate most of the menu and just advised to speak with the server. Our server was very unknowledgeable, contradicted herself and made us/ myfriend feel awkward for asking very basic questions. The “gluten free” symbol on the menu is NOT gluten free as they said pretty much everything on the grill will be contaminated. Fair, but change your symbol to “friendly” and maybe have a meeting with the staff to ensure everyone is on the same page! Not impressed with the way our waitress handled things.

By far the Best Reuben Sandwich I have ever tasted while in Manitoba. And the service and hospitality was on top notch, my server was Pam, a truly kind and thoughtful being! We need more of you on this earth. I am definitely coming back again! Kind regards ✨️

We finally came and checked it out after hearing so many great things. Did not disappoint! Food was outstanding (great job kitchen!), our server Pam was excellent and the prices were really good 10/10! Was out first time but definitely not the last.

Not knowing anything about this place was hesitant at first going to this eatery inside a hotel/casino but so glad we did. This restaurant is nicely decorated and spacious which is a contrast from the hotel lobby we came through. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our kids. There is a nice kids menu. All our dishes were excellent not a single complain. They were well done and very flavorful. We will definitely come back.

So sad to hear that they are closing down at the end of May. They are one of my favorite restaurants for brunch!! Their Hollandaise sauce for egg benedict is divine. You can taste the creaminess of brow butter in the dish. Same goes for their brisket hash and the stew, as they are not cheap at all for their meat potion. Hope I can go back and try their pasta and fried chicken dish before they close down

Marion might be the most delicious breakfast- brunch place in Canada. Waiters are friendly and kind, portions are more than fair and the food is just perfect every single time. Nowhere else you can get a well-served, tasty salad with pistachios sufficient for two with less than $20. Sweet potato fries are always fresh and perfectly crunchy. Their iced latte has no competition. Don't forget to order their weekly dessert special every time... I just wish they stayed forever in the menu.

Great food, great people, cozy space, Will be missed. Wishing everyone the best in the future

Don't judge the book by the cover. We pulled up and almost didn't go inside. Inside was a very nice, well designed and clean restaurant with fantastic scratch made food and friendly staff. Great spot!

Food was overpriced $50 for 2 average breakfast portions ? Seriously?Decor was mediocre

This place is the perfect mix of comfort, indulgence and modern. It's not pretentious and the food is the star. My brother frequents here weekly so being in town, we had to go. Everything was awesome. Delicious and wholesome food with a twist-the bannock was outstanding. Service makes you feel like family. It's the kind of place you can go to talk for hours, read alone or meet for business. Love it and will return!

Great food! Service was great as well! Would recommend this place! Can get busy and is fairly small. Making some good food!

Really great breakfast spot in St Boniface. We sat up at the bar top and enjoyed the brekky sando, a grilled cinnamon bun, and the mushroom toast with poached eggs and everything was delicious. We even took another brekky sando home for my boyfriend when we realized how good it was and even he loved it despite it being a less traditional bacon egg mayo kinda sandwich! The staff were all very kind and everyone loved it

I try not to review restaurants solely based on delivery/takeout, which unfortunately is the reality now thanks to the pandemic. However I feel this place deserves a shoutout for the food quality I received. I've been wanting to try the Marion (as locals call it) for a while, but I'm rarely in that corner of St. B. A combination of the pandemic, some recent photos of takeout/delivery surfacing on /r/winnipeg, and the fact they have in-house delivery allowed me to choose this place last night. I ordered The Big Cheese, because the photos posted online showed fresh strips of bacon even after delivery...which is very hard to do in my opinion. I needed to see if it was the real deal, and sure enough it was. The delivery time took a bit longer than expected (90 minutes for a 5:45pm order, which ended up being almost 2 hours). However I felt that it was worth the wait. The burger was exactly as how I imagined; the bacon was the perfect crispiness level despite the delivery time, the burger patty was one of the best I've ever had, and you can never go wrong with bothwell cheddar. The fries that came with it were also quite good. I definitely recommend trying this place out! They have in-house delivery (no need for Skip/Doordash/UberEats) during these times, as well as take-out. It's not often I give 5-star reviews, but this is one place that deserves it.

You'd never know how cute this spot is until you went inside - being that it's in the same building as a rougher looking bar. But when you walk through the door of Marion Street Eatery for the first time I'm sure everyone's reaction is close to what mine was. "Wow! I never would have guessed how cute this place is! I love the decor!" Not only is the atmosphere inviting and quaint, but the service is amazing as well. The servers know the menu inside and out and are fabulous at their jobs. There isn't anything I've tried on their menu that I haven't enjoyed. But to list a few that I loved ... The Apple whiskey pancakes are amazing. Didn't even need syrup! Eggs benny Chicken pot pie was some goooood comfort food Spicy chicken wrap (sans peanuts) I also had a super good hangover mimosa there one time that hit just right.

Terrible service from SUPERVISOR we asked to be seated and this person said it was going to be an issue to seat 6 people, even though we saw availability to be able to seat us. Will NEVER return to this establishment.

Very happy to support them during COVID as well as get an awesome meal as their food has always been delicious. Was very happy to learn that they do their own delivery so profits aren't being siphoned off by other companies! Staff was very friendly and food was amazing, can't wait to order again and return to eating in person post pandemic!

Missed our reservation time by 5 minutes and still got a seat! I had the Apple Whiskey Pancakes which where great. Had a very nice, helpful server who had our food out rather quickly considering how busy it was. Highly recommend.

I just had the braised short rib hash. It is excellent. the braised rib is melt in your mouth tender! the poached egg was soft the way its supposed to be. So good! cant wait to dine in for more.

Okay so let it be known that I stopped by here as 1/4 of a touring band from Vancouver who is working on a lack of sleep and depravation from basic nutrients so all I was craving was a wholesome meal with, hopefully, some vitamins. We sit down at a cute little booth with an excellent view of a painting of three majestic buffalo. Side note, if you love those little packs of peanut butter and raspberry jam stacked higher than the heavens - this is the place for you! I really appreciated that the names of the meals described the type of person who would eat them, for example my drummer, wearing plaid, ordered the lumberjack. I, being the health nut that I am (ha ha) ordered the tree hugger. The food was incredibly average. Not too much taste which is cool if you're into that sort of thing. BUT oh what a surprise my guitarist had when she found a couple of MEAT CHUNKS in her Mexican breakfast. Described as a veggie meal, she was naturally shocked. But alas she is the most polite person this could have happened to because she just placed them in her napkin and continued. The highlights of the meal included the 6 slices of bread that came with these 12$ meals and the pile of mints they offered as a parting gift. Very OK.

Absolutely amazing dinner tonight from Marion St Eatery!!! If you never tried it...I strongly suggest you do! I had the spicy wrap and beet salad...so delicious! Hubby had a burger and said it was great! Amazing food!!!!!!

Second time there and still have to give them 5 stars. This time had the meatloaf and their patty melt special. Both were really good. We split the Mac and Cheese again too. THATS AMAZING!!!! The food was amazing. We had the bison burger and the chicken sandwich. We then had to order their signature Mac and Cheese to split. Everything was top notch and atmosphere was great.

Sunday 10:30am... You want to go in there hungry but not overly starving because they don't take reservations!! It was a good 25 minute wait (lots of big parties) but the server was quick and so nice once we sat down. So maybe during the wait ask to look at the menu. Food was good. The pancakes were ok, bacon is always good. The Apple whisky sauce, I would have licked the plate if I could. I got laughed at when we first pulled up to the location but it's a very nice surprise when you walk through the doors. I say try it but remember no reservations!!! Don't go hangry cause you can always take your food home!

Marion street eatery has amazing food, the staff are very helpful and friendly. Bring the family down for some amazing food, and just a overall good time with the family.

Excellent Winnipeg resturant gem! The Marion eatery is a cute, modern and affordable place to take friends and family to enjoy great food. The portions are hearty. The menu items are a mix of some classic favorites with some new creations, like "perogy bowl" All menu items are made with local fresh ingrediants. Being a vegetarian, I love the home made veggie burger and wedge fries!

Marion Street Eatery is one of those places you'd go straight on by if you didn't look amazingly hard for it, and when you did go by it, you'd never think twice about it. Why do I say that? Because we did, twice actually. And the fact it's located in a run down motel that looks like a place you'd see Patrick Swayze playing a bouncer at might also lend me to thinking that. Anyway, on the third pass, and stopping in a parking lot across from where my GPS said it was, I finally spotted this place and we swung in. Very nice little patio out front, but, we were hanging out inside on this morning. Awesome service, can't say enough about how good the service was here. We get our menu's which, for a weekday breakfast, seemed to be paired down quite a bit from what the online menu showed. Either way, the items we wanted were on there, the woman rolling with a banana caramel pancakes, we split a grilled cinnamon bun, and I go with the Lumberjack. Essentially everything on the breakfast menu thrown onto one plate (hash, sausage, ham, bacon, 3 eggs and 3 pieces of toast). Little wait which gave us a chance to go through the decor - very western style saloon with awesome woodwork and their awards shown near the front. After about 8-10 minutes, out comes the food. The meh: grilled cinnamon roll. I was interested to see what this was about, and it fell flat as the surface it was grilled on. It is a dried out, cut in half cinnamon roll that hits the flat top. It then comes out dried and crispy. Really needs to have an icing, or sauce added to help with the texture and taste, which is really lost when the bun hits the grill. Great idea, needs refinement and addition. The good: My breakfast. Everything about it was a solid 4/5. Bacon was a bit disappointing, but the ham and sausage link - which was cut in half and grilled instead of deep fried - were damn tasty. I loved the toast too, which was a very grainy wheat bread. Eggs were done perfectly, and the hash was very solid. The outstanding: Pancakes. I'm hard pressed to get my big ass in the car and drive back just for these. Talk about PERFECT. Cakes were fluffy, light and had amazing flavor on their own. Then, the bananas and caramel sauce is like the nectar of the gods on these spongy little creations! And just when you think it's not gonna get better... there is the light, sweet, fresh creme on the side that you throw on this. I was about to kick the woman away from the table, steal these, and run down the street like an escaped mental patient, but, I held it together. Overall, don't let the location fool you, its worth a check. Would be a 5 if the cinnamon roll were better and my bacon wasn't crisp to a brittle point.

A hidden Winnipeg Gem nestled inside a hotel. An underrated restaurant that makes very comforting food. I liked the atmosphere inside the restaurant as it's a combination of calm and energetic, the food is extremely underrated and the employees are very kind to their customers. Only downside was it was too small, otherwise, it's very much worth checking out -- you won't regret it.

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous....the Cuban Sandwich, what a delight and the sweet potato fries, the best ever...my companions loved their meals too...loved everything....come, enjoy, leave satisfied

Went this morning for breakfast 4 of us visiting my old home the place is located just up the street from where I lived as a kid on the main floor of the old motel I had the Mexican breakfast with chorizo sausage and rye toast cubed potatoes amazing My family also had the lumberjack very good as well And as I was asking the waitress about the delicious coffee from local supplier She reminded me that their chef is a world award winning female Way to go with good value and portion size very much like a great truck stop diner

Yummy yummy breakfast in my tummy! This cute and modern eatery was recommended to us by a local for brunch with our kids as her favorite breakfast place in the city, and I'll go ahead and share her sentiment! I had eggs Benny, hubby had an omelette, and the kids had pancakes. Not a bite was left, and service was great to boot!

The ladies who work there are super amazing and such sweet people, I thought his place featured on TV so I decided to visit at the food looked amazing, they definitely do not disappoint, Mac & cheese Marianne style is the best... And their Caesars are beyond tasty... This is my new go to plays

Hey good afternoon Yelp readers sending this review live from Marion Street Eatery. I come in here quite frequently the staff is always friendly very courteous and knowledgeable. I always suggest when eating alone You want to come and sit have a drink at the bar for lunch have a good sandwich and I find it's always best when Mandy's here to greet you with a smile and take good care of you and she will make sure you get in and out as fast as you can. The owners of The Establishment down here at Marion should to take a good hard look at Mandy for she's truly a great asset behind the bar for both the customers and for the establishment itself. I will always give Mandy 10 Stars.

While in Winnipeg visiting family, I met a high school friend here for lunch. What a nice treat! I had the 1/2 salad with pear and chicken and a bowl of the soup of the day (pumpkin). It was so tasty and beautifully presented. It was certainly on-par with the quality of food I am used to in Southern California. I would definitely dine here again.

I came in on Tuesday for lunch. Had to wait for a server to take my order. The food is good. But had to wait for service.

I love this place. It's sometimes hard to get into but they have a patio now which is glassed in and should help in the summer time. They have cinnamon sugar bannock (so tasty) and good basic breakfast goods and portions. Coffee is good quality and strong. I like the decor (somewhat old fashioned inspired new reno with those neat old fashioned light bulbs) Can be noisy but worth it.

We ordered the New Years short rib dinner for two!! Delicious!!! Very generous portions!! We love everything we've ordered so far!! We will be back. Thank you!!

Such a cute eatery in such a sketchy biker hotel. I find the dichotomy rather interesting and the diners even more interesting as it tends to draw from the St. B neighbourhood while just meters away you have a more intimidating crowd. There's a small patio outside and the interior has a rustic chic thing going on. Menu is homey comfort food so stuff like bison chili, chicken pot pie, meatloaf, mac and cheese, burgers, grilled cheese etc. Pricing is between $10-$14 average lunch entree is about $12. I've been here for lunch several times and have had good meals here. Nothing outstanding and nothing earth shattering but it's good. The 6 ounce angus beef burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, garlic sauteed mushrooms, roasted garlic aioli, tomato and lettuce with shoe string fries $12 is a good juicy burger with good flavour though the fries are disappointing here. I've had the fries several times and they are never crispy, just flimsy and limp so I'd opt for a side salad instead. The bison chili is topped with havarti cheese, sour cream and crispy onion with bannock and jalapeno butter with a side salad or fries of your choice for $12.25. The chili is really good but the bannock is a skip so save your carbs. The mac and cheese with bacon and brocooli for $12.75 is a bit too heavy for my taste. On the other hand, the full order of the oven roasted salmon salad ($13.75) is a great meal. Not too light, just enough for lunch. There's cucumbers, apples, carrots, sunflower seeds, pretzle crumble on mixed greens with a maple mustard dressing. The salmon is perfectly cooked and has a very interesting mix of spices on it (not spicy but there was a nice complement of sweet and savoury flavours). There's a kid menu with a few choices for about $6 and includes a juice or milk. Service is always warm and friendly and lunch is doable within an hour. There was a much longer wait when they first opened when the free press reviewed them but it's much more sane now. You can park in the back behind the Marion Street Hotel near the funny beer store called "Oui got beer". That place is hilarious. Parking can be tight so maybe opt for street parking. Note - they don't take reservations.

Went on a Sunday, they had a limited menu with only breakfast items because they close at 2pm. Pretty standard breakfast fare with some healthy options. Really cute decor and nice servers, but we waited about half an hour to sit when we were told 15-20 mins. The food was mediocre, not bad but not amazing and I found the portions a little lacking. They had really nice ceasers with pepperoni sticks and pickles- yum! I'm not sure if it was because they just opened, but our waitress couldn't answer a lot of questions about the menu- even something as basic as drink prices. I did love the look of the place and it had nice big windows, plus its in a great neighborhood. I hope they work on the little kinks!

Great sandwiches and fries in an environment you would not expect it from. Warm and welcoming.

Excellent food in a relaxed, family atmosphere. The food will remind you of home if you're dad is Wolfegang Puck. I could eat here every day.

Love the atmosphere and the service. Food is excellent no matter what you order. My nephew loves the meatloaf and I love the salads and breakfasts.

New favorite. This place is fantastic. It is a busy place but we were able to get seated right away at the bar. I had the breakfast burger with Caesar salad and hubbie had the bison chli Great portions and prices. We left both very satisfied. Will absolutely return.

I've eaten here a bunch of times and the food is always good. Sadly I haven't had good experiences with the service. I gave it another go last time I was in town, and had Megan as a server. She was awesome and really turned my opinion around. I had a great breakfast with a friendly, helpful, and attentive server. Great experience!

Delicious food. Fancy enough for foodies and traditional enough for the non-adventurous. I loved the burger special. Huge portions. Awesome cocktails.

I've never been disappointed when I go! It's the perfect place for comfort food, a great glass of wine, and friendly staff. I love it.

I'd say this was a wonderful surprise - but the truth is I came to the Marion Street Diner by online recommendations, so I was expecting (hoping for?) good things. I was not disappointed. Visiting Winnipeg with family, the tastes and ages of our large group were varied. 7 of us walked in the door from the admittedly sketchy outside, and found a modern take on a rustic homey ambiance. Barn wood and antique chairs blend with vintage crates, chalkboard signage and fun art that seems local (a rainbow striped picture or a deer for example). We were seated at a large table in a room all to ourselves, and served quickly. With a smile. The ambiance feels expensive, but the food is cheap compared to other trendy restaurants I've been to. That's what I love about this place. It feels like it's made for everyone. You can have meatloaf. You can have a fancy grilled cheese. You can dine in style. You can afford it. I had the grilled cheese, which takes the standard, adds goat cheese, prosciutto and more. I subbed in the onion soup - among the best I've had. My daughter had the mac and cheese which was again the best I've had. We were all trading bites. It didn't feel rude to do that. It felt like family. We had a local beer. Refreshing. In the end we were too full for desert, but it sounded so good my wife and I came back for date night. Guinness chocolate cake, salted caramel and peanuts? Yes please! 5.50? Huge size? Seriously? Wow! In Edmonton, we have a lot of awesome places to eat, but I cannot think of a spot that so effortlessly blends value, familiar menu items, excellent, surprising execution and a broad, family appeal. In the end, Marion Street Eatery gave me one more reason to return to Winnipeg.

I used to love sitting on patio for late afternoon lunch but since they shut down now for supper, it has become hard to go. Sat and sun morning breakfast are super busy. They are quick but expect at least 20 min wait or more. Food is always delicious and quick to come out. Just wish they had longer hours again.

Food overall was average. I got the mexican breakfast with extra quacamole. They gave me my bread but I couldn't even eat it because it has way to much butter.The salsa they use reminds me of the "el paco" stuff you can buy from the grocery store. It was an okay price, but I don't think I'd eat here again.

My daughter's and I always like to pick somewhere different to eat, well this place was chosen by my eldest on 2018-03-21. Quaint little place with friendly staff and great service. I had the open faced hot turkey sandwich. It's something I never had like before. Unlike others which were smothered in gravy, this was the best one I've had in my life. Simply put, it tasted like Christmas supper all in one..amazing. my eldest had the vegan burger which very tasty and my youngest the chicken pot pie, also delicious. The carrot cake and berry crumble topped it off. You definitely have to put this place on your to go list. Next time I'm in Winnipeg I'm going there again. Hats off to the staff..

Delicious, classic ingredients served up in fresh, creative ways! Portions are generous and it doesn't break the bank eating there.

I asked the waitress what to pick between the Angus burger and a Cuban sandwich, she told me to go with the Cuban and I was very impressed! Good food and friendly staff.

Meatloaf was deliousious, carrot cake bread pudding with raisins and pecans, Carmel sauce too for desert !

Great food, great service and great atmosphere! The chicken fried steak and waffles as an appetizer was amazing! I will definitely put this in rotation instead of hitting up the usual places like earls/Moxies.

Poor at seating. Two girls walk in, stand in front of us & hostess takes their names 1st. Left without eating here upset. Hostess could have asked who was next.

This is a popular brunch spot for us. We like to meet up with friends. However, the last time we went, the service was beyond slow. We had our toddler with us and had an 1h30 window before our next destination. I ended up getting my meal boxed and leaving the restaurant with the toddler. My husband and our friends stayed back and ate quickly to then join me at our next destination. The food is good but that left a sour taste in my mouth and we haven't been since this incident. The waitress was unapologetic and acting as if it was normal to have waited that long. However, everyone around us had their meal and ordered after us.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! I had the quinoa bowl it was delicious, I will definitely be back!
