Who is Marie?
The name comes from a long family tradition. Original Deby Marie (Phil's wife) is still active in the operation and has proudly passed the name down through her children and grandchildren.

Is there really an Uncle Moose?
Yes, all the names you see on the menu are relatives of the Buerk family. Many are part of the operation today. You may see one of them bussing your table or serving your food.

Will you be opening a store even closer to where I live?
Will you be opening a store closer to where I live? While originating in Toledo and then expanding to Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton and Detroit, we are excited about new franchise opportunities that will expand our great meals throughout the Midwest.

Why are you only open from 6:30am to 3:00pm?
There are three reasons: First, operational efficiency of one shift of staff every day ensures maximum productivity and fresh, cheerful service. Secondly, there are lifestyle benefits. Being able to be home in time for dinner helps us keep our great attitude and helps us attract the sharpest staff available. Finally, because we concentrate on ONLY what we do BEST (breakfast and lunch), we proudly say, "our breakfast is so good, we can leave dinner to someone else."

Thank you for your interest in our operation. We hope you enjoy your breakfast at Marie's!
