With a smidgen of Spring in the air this morning, while running errands, it was the perfect reason to revisit a local eatery for breakfast. We have not been to
Marlo's Place since probably the early 90's. I can remember how flavorful and homey that bowl of chicken rivel soup was and could definitely tell the stock was made from a roasted chicken, which added such depth to the flavors in every spoonful. I don't know why it took until this morning to come back for some more!
They buy 97.3% fresh not frozen lean ground chuck from
Pfaff's market in St. Marys (keeping it local) for all of their burgers, I can't wait to sample the Marilyn Burger made with Swiss cheese, sweet caramelized grilled onions on a 1/4 pounder .
Marlo's also has homemade soups daily, fresh cut fries, hand dipped fish fries, homemade sloppy joes and freshly made coleslaw/macaroni salad just to touch on a few tasteful selections.
Very nice full menu filled with loads of Marlo's personal family recipes as well as your typical restaurant fare. I had a super sweet conversation with the owner's daughter in-law finding out about weekly events such as a Prime Rib buffet on Saturdays, Seafood buffet on Fridays and Spaghetti and meatballs Thursday.
On occasion an omelette station is also enjoyed, during the weekend, by locals where custom omelettes are prepared just for them such as Philly steak or bacon cheeseburger picks, yummmm. I wonder if they could whip up a ham, broccoli and cheddar or perhaps roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto, feta, olives and some of that ham steak they offer in one?

As always being able to order a pancake in place of toast is a huge ++++ for me and then when she kindly made me aware that they offer ham STEAK and not a processed rolled ham, I was in heaven. The ham was very, very good as were the home-fries with onions, my choice. At this time of the year we start to crave ham, with Easter over the horizon, just like we start craving roasted turkey by mid-September. The Corelle dishes instantly plugged me into meals sitting around the supper table at Grandmother Stump's, which was a warm fuzzy... They do offer home made sausage at select times during the week, but, the frozen patties will do in a pinch.
As we were leaving I shot this off the kitchen not realizing a couple friends were also having breakfast at the back table :) It was the perfect time to catch up on some St. Mary's happenings.
