Mary Cody's Restaurant
What people are saying
This is probably some of the BEST breakfast you can get in lacrosse in my opinion and we’ve tried most of the options around because we’re big breakfast people. Everything was hot and fresh when we got it and their coffee is nice and strong not watered down like some places. I wish we came here sooner now that we’re about to move out of town. If you’re in town I highly recommend! And it’s CHEAP, $26 for two people!
Upon walking into Mary Cody's, you're treated with a nice replica of what would be an Irish pub. It's a great environment, nice and cozy for great conversation. This being my first visit, I'm sure I had that face of "What am I doing here, I need help!" I was quickly greeted and had the cream of the crop for eating locations, I took saddle at the bar. Looking at the limited menu for breakfast, everything was tempting. I took the following: Meat Lover's Skillet, Eggs Benedict, Biscuits and Homemade Sausage Gravy, and Buttermilk Pancakes. Meat Lovers Skillet It was expected. Well executed. I didn't need to season the dish. Came out fresh. Nothing to write home about, but their take on the Meat Lovers Skillet is solid. Let's be honest, can be purchased anywhere in the area. Eggs Benedict Eggs were runny and perfect. I'd happily buy again. Biscuits and Homemade Sausage Gravy HANDS DOWN, the best sit-down biscuits and gravy in the area! Most restaurant have Chef Mic(rowave) in the back, nuking biscuits and gravy. Not here! You can tell that this dish is made from scratch. I'd love to take an IV direct into my vein and just pipe the gravy into my bloodstream. *Chef's Kiss* Buttermilk Pancakes Pancakes are hearty and filling. I'd have no problems recommending the pancakes here. If you're looking for value and QUANTITY, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a true under the radar breakfast place, with great and quick service, friendly atmosphere, and all the dishes coming out perfect and fresh. It's worth the money. Easily a top 10 hidden gem breakfast spot in the LaCrosse/Onalaska area. Biscuits and gravy, BEST IN THE AREA.
I have only been here once for breakfast and it was disgusting. It looked like I had a tray of air plane food placed in front of me. Even with a pre packaged syrup on top of the food, not on the side but on top of food seems like a contamination risk. The "scrambled" eggs were so greasy and off-putting in the had the consistency of pre packaged liquid eggs. Being overpriced, cross contamination, and poor service as in we hand to ask for silverware. I cannot recommend this restaurant.
The Mother's Day brunch was absolutely delicious! There was a wide variety of food and I tried a little of almost everything. Everything was excellent! It was extremely busy and we did not get anything to drink until we had been there over a half hour. We had to ask several times before they finally came with water and asked for our drink order. They did comp our bill without us even having to ask which definitely showed us they felt bad about the service. We will definitely go again next year.
Food was good. Kinda spendy for portion size. We went for fish and you get two sides. Our friend asked if they could get double steamed vegetables and waitress says yes then they got charged extra for them even though they only got two sides. Thought that was unfair or should have been told they would be charged more
