  • I can't help but feel that the foodies who love this place only do so with a kind of hipster irony. When ordering at Merry-Ann's, "Occam's razor" applies: go with the simple choices. See a particular dish on the menu that you'd consider ordering? First, imagine yourself cooking it at home...now count all of the potential steps where poor decision-making or lack of skill could result in disaster. Choose the dish where there is little room for error and you're set. On my first, misguided visit to Merry-Ann's, my youthful enthusiasm (and naivete) led me to order the Mexican omelet. What was I expecting? Maybe an egg-licious concoction with chorizo and peppers. Instead I got something akin to a burrito with scoops of taco meat, where the thin skin of egg acted as a wrap. I openly and unashamedly admit that I am a snob in this regard--due to early childhood trauma involving Taco Bell, I simply refuse to consume oily ground beef cooked with packets of "Mexican-flavored" seasonings. The meal didn't make it far past "Go" before it had to take a few steps back... Err. With that experience behind me, I still gladly stop by Merry-Ann's, but now I stick with those simple dishes, like eggs, breakfast meat, and hash browns. All the breakfast combination plates are pretty reasonably priced and the serving sizes are more than adequate. I don't recommend the dinner items (remember Occam's razor?). The overall ambiance of the place is above average. Compared to campus-town's IHOP, Merry-Ann's is bright and clean. The kitchen isn't in a separate room, which allows you to observe that a good deal of the food items are microwaved. Maybe those people who have food industry experience wouldn't be surprised or bothered, but most places aren't quite so brazen about the nature of food preparation. For standard breakfasts, Merry-Ann's is a solid choice, especially as it's the only real 24-hour game in town and within easy walking distance of all the downtown bars. Still, I'd recommend keeping your expectations low.
