Mann's Grille

This place is awesome! The food is great and can't wait until i am able to go back :-)

OK... I must first preface this by reminding everyone that Mann's Grill is a TRUE greasy spoon. They serve MASSIVE portions at the least expensive price possible. Because of this fact, much of the food is preprocessed, or pre-prepared.
That being said, you will find NOWHERE that will give you the amount of food that this establishment provides for the cost. Wet side dishes (Mac n' cheese, cole slaw, green beans, etc) are served in small CEREAL BOWLS! many of the dry sides (French fries, "home fries", bacon, etc.) are served on separate plates! Every single meal will be served on at LEAST 2 dishes. For example.... Let's say you would like Lasagna with a side salad and apple sauce.... You will receive a plate with a brick-sized hunk of lasagna, and 2 separate bowls filled with the sides. One of the most amazing meals is the Mann's Breakfast... served all day. 2 eggs cooked to your liking; choice of bacon, ham, sausage or smoked sausage (probably on a separate plate); choice of hashbrowns or homefries (the homefries are more like french fries); choice of pancakes, french toast, or half-order of biscuits and gravy (DEFINITELY served on a 3rd plate because will fill it by itself!)... did I mention it's less than $7?!

Every single meal on their menu (excluding the premium meals like steak and shrimp) is less than $7!!!

Burger and fries? Yep... it's a frozen 100% beef patty... just like 95% of fast food restaurants... the difference is that the patty will be cooked to perfection. The burger is big enough to make a Hardee's Thickburger look like a White Castle Slider! You will DEFINITELY need to use two hands to eat it! Make it a bacon cheeseburger and add a pound of fries, and enjoy greasy meaty heaven for less than the cost of a Big Mac Value Meal!!!

The atmosphere is extremely laid back and casual. A board hangs on the wall with available Entree items written on pieces of paper... as they run out of the entree (It's guaranteed the board will be almost bare by the end of the day) the paper is removed. None of the silverware or dishes will match, and your drinks are served in 32oz styrofoam cups with lids. The idea is to save on costs and labor to provide lower costs to the patrons. The place will always be packed, and the crowd and staff are always a quirky bunch. Nothing makes me smile like hearing the amazed exclamation from a patron in the next booth when the table is literally covered in food :-D

They are closed on Sundays (which makes me sad, but I respect them even more for it!), and they DO accept credit (in response to those who say they don't). There may be food that you don't care for, but the menu is so vast you should try something else next time. I live an hour away and still travel 1-2 times a month just to enjoy some good breakfast that won't empty your wallet, or to enjoy some delicious pork chops and burgers.

If you enjoy a TRUE greasy spoon, then be prepared for the Ultimate experience :-) Hope to see y'all there some time!

Rik Smits (pacer's player) used to have a spot he always sat in here.  This place has comically large portions of food for the money because there used to be a huge plant next door.  This means that blue collared guys would (and still) come here to get ready for the day.  The food is very basic, but it is an experience.  Its basically a diner out of a movie.
