Mary - Ambler

Thank goodness, we have our amazing burgers back in Ambler! The owners of Lucky Well (now closed) have created the new hotspot in town. Atmospheric and dimly lit with an approachable menu that they switch up frequently. Tops the list.

Our group of 4 had a great dinner and experience this past weekend! Chef was at the door when we arrived (just by luck I think) and greeted us warmly. Hostess and all staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and provided amazing service. We got two apps - Poutine and goat cheese/beets - both excellent. Two of us had the steak, one had the swordfish and I had the cavatelli, which was outstanding. Only suggestion was the swordfish had (we think) a bit of nutmeg which for the three of us who tasted it, didn't care for that particular spice on fish. And the finishing touch was the outstanding pumpkin cake/bread - absolutely phenomenal! Thanks Team Mary!

My husband and I dined here this evening, great vibe, the atmosphere with low lights and blues music played in the background. The restaurant is BYOB. Apps: My husband ordered the tostones with Mary Dip- he loved it , quite tasty and not greasy. I ordered the vegetable soup, rich and flavorful with a spicy peppery kick. The topping of ground pistachios warmed me, as it’s a cold ,windy evening. Entrees: We both ordered the cheese burgers which we could taste the excellent beef and well seasoned hand cut potato wedges. Dessert: We ordered the last slice of carrot cake. Quite delicious and decadent icing. This is the first weekend that the carrot cake is on the menu. I highly suggest Chef Rosenthal order more as we believe it’s a “keeper!” Staff and chef/owner are very appreciative, and attentive to detail. We will return soon!

I went here with my brother to celebrate my birthday and everything was phenomenal! The steak frites, the raw asparagus and citrus salad was amazing. They told us they were out of steak tartare and they surprised us with freshly cut steak tartare. The best part was the dessert and meeting the chef amazing person, I will be coming back soon during the fall.

After living in the city and traveling through Europe me and my husband thought we'd never find satisfaction in a suburban restaurant... especially post pandemic where everything is just seemingly a little less good. We went here for date night and we were blown away. The atmosphere takes you to a cozy far off place and the food was like a warm hug, one you don't want to end. If you want a romantic byob spot to enjoy an incredible meal, don't skip this one.

Tucked away in the heart of Ambler, Mary is the kind of restaurant that feels like a well-kept secret. Dimly lit with deep navy walls and elegant gold accents, the space is intimate yet inviting. The flickering candlelight and soft hum of jazz set the perfect mood for an evening that feels both relaxed and indulgent. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the burger—a beautifully crafted masterpiece featuring perfectly cooked beef topped with simmered onions, tangy banana peppers, and the restaurant’s signature Mary sauce. The balance of flavors is spot-on, with just the right amount of richness and heat. Served alongside crispy, golden potato wedges, it’s comfort food elevated to something truly special. For dessert, the warm Jewish Apple Cake with vanilla gelato is an absolute must. The cake is moist, spiced, and rich with chunks of apple, while the gelato melts into each bite, creating a perfect harmony of texture and temperature. Owner and chef Chad Rosenthal is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. His passion for hospitality is evident—he makes rounds throughout the night, checking in on guests, sharing stories, and ensuring that everyone feels at home. It’s a rare and personal touch that makes Mary not just a great restaurant, but a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic date spot or a cozy escape for a great meal, Mary delivers on all fronts. It’s a place where time slows down, where the food warms you from the inside out, and where every detail—down to the last flickering candle—is just right.

This is one of the best over all experiences at a restaurant for us. We made reservations because it seats up to 40 people and is byob. Extremely friendly service, and delicious food. The menu changes once a month with seasonal selections. If you like burgers, this is the one! If you go in October, get the pumpkin cake for dessert!

Wow! First time here and Chef Chad and crew produced one of the best, creative, and most memorable meals I've had in a long time. His raw asparagus and citrus salad made me like asaragus (thought that was impossible)! The burger is divine, was perfectly prepared. The steak frites were delicious and the flavor was kin to what you get in Texas. Carrot cake and apple cake to close for our friend's birthday - amazing. This place is seriously great, the service was spot on and Chef Chad floated through the restaurant at times greeting customers. I can't wait to go again in April for the new menu. Cheers! Outstanding!
