Was just there for my birthday. Â Andy is an amazing lad who makes and serves a mean drink, as well as a Prime Rib Feast fit for a king. Â Mary's still is hands down the best prime rib dinner deal in the area. Â 20 bucks for a huge portion, flavoured well, with sides. Â I still couldn't finish it, and I can put away food when hungry.
Chicken Fried Steak looked really damn good too. Â Nice menu selection with decent prices. Â Not foofy, but not of sub-par quality either.
Great crowd for the most part (creeper, drunk fishermen will need to be put in check now and then...but no biggie). Â Nice mix of working folks, retired folks, folks of all ages, sad folks, and a few sexy folks. Â Great tunes on the jukebox as well.
This is a nice local's neighbourhood pub. Â No frills, no BS.....just a decent place to spend a few bucks, have some good food, meet some nice people, dance, and get jarred on your birthday. Â Damn, each year gets a wee bit harder. Â I swear Andy adds more booze to my drinks each year to make me hungover the following day. Â I still love him though... we'd make ugly children together, and I'd be a gazillion pounds from all of the prime rib, as well as an alcoholic, hence why we must exist apart..... sigh.... At least I have my lovely lass to keep me warm on these cold coastal nights...

Oh, hey guys. Do you like Bingo?
What's that? Yes, it is your favorite game in the whole wide world?? ME TOO.
A friend and I staying in Astoria for the night stumbled into Mary Todd's on a Sunday evening. We walked in right in the middle of a Bingo game, and everyone turned to stare. My friend and I looked at each other, feeling like intruders "Do we leave?" we asked each other with our eyes. A second later, everyone shouted to come on in, and they cleared 2 spots for us at the bar.
The people were so friendly and so fun and the drinks were... well, they were drinks, and the Bingo was sooooo much fun I want to play allthetimeforever and we didn't eat (not a whole lotta vegan options here) but I just love this place so so much.
The people were great, the vibe was great, everything was great. I will come back here every time I'm back in Astoria. Hopefully next time will be on a Sunday so I can play at Bingo again. First card's free, additional cards are .25 each. Â Doesn't get any better than that.
