I'm past my college party days and was pretty hesitant to go to Marios at the suggestion of dinner from a friend. Enough people convinced me that it is not just a watering hole for undergrads, but it also churns out decent food. Boy, were they right. So glad I listened!
This location has a $5 apps special during happy hour, half off drafts, and is frequented by normal other mid to older 20 somethings before 10pm. The downstairs doesn't have that many seating options but does have table service. You seat yourself and a waitress comes and finds you. The upstairs allows smoking and is much larger, including a nice patio. The owner is really nice and seems to hire a solid crew.
The food is great! I've never had a bad meal here, and their sweet potatoes fries are bae. Try the wings, burgers, salads or spinach artichoke dip and you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go back and try the pizza!
