Amazing breakfast food and great place to eat any time of the day. It can get busy late at night as it is a popular place for students, but it is definitely worth the wait. The pie is always a hit and the French toast is also very good. Nice that they have such a wide selection of options
Staff are very friendly and food comes really fast. This is a regular routine for me and my family on Saturday mornings. Good old simple home style breakfast as well as burgers and other hot sandwiches and shakes. Prices are very reasonable.
Food is always tasty and arrives quickly. The wait staff is very friendly and prompt with refills. Most recently I was there with a small group of five and none of us ever had an empty glass. Plus the prices work for a college student's budget.
Merry Ann's will always have a special place in my stomach. 24 hour service in a hometown diner atmosphere, excellent service that is attentive and clearly hard working. The food is fast, hot, and greasy in just the right way. Don't care for breakfast food? Despite your poor life decisions you can enjoy all sorts of other delicious dishes of classic Americana like horseshoes and burgers. Don't miss out on this crucial part of the UIUC experience, both late night and morning Merry Ann's will surprise and delight you.
The very best in town. Great coffee, atmosphere, and open 24 hours. Tried almost everything on the menu, and only one item isn't a homerun! (the Diner Stack, definitely a drunk food order lol). Great staff too, tip em 25% every time.
Good food for a good price, and almost always filling (maybe to the point of overfilling). I've spent many nights here with friends after a long day, and also many mornings when craving a quick, simple bite to eat in preparation for a long day. Service is usually quick and friendly, and the food is consistent. Always a good time when going with a friend!
The servers are great, the food is always fresh and fast, the location is clean. The one downside is the food is just average, nothing to write home about, but if you want a quick stack of pancakes or omelete this would be my go-to spot.
Friendly staff and great simple menus. Love the breakfast. I always get their corn beef hash with scrambled eggs and white toast with a side of Bacon and a side of gravy to cover the corn beef hash with. It is pure and simple comfort food.
This place is great for diner food in general. The menu prices are really reasonable for a college campus. The staff here are generally on point assuming it isn't being flooded with patrons, otherwise it is pretty slow.
A great dinner for late night food, lunch or anytime you want a bite. Usually pretty clean and the wait staff is nice. The food is good and there is a pretty wide range of options for a dinner. Will definitely keep coming back.
Merry Anne's is like the cheap seats at the movie theater. You go because it is cheap. You don't necessarily care about the movie you're going to see, you just can't turn down the prices, so you go anyway. The floor may be a little sticky, and the popcorn might be a tad bit sketchy, but chances are you're probably drunk when you show up, so you really don't care. You are only going to the place for the cheap, decent experience. Not for a high class, fine dining, tablecloth type experience. It is a diner. and a damn good one at that. It pretends to be nothing more or less than what it is. Merry Anne's is an honest restaurant, and that is something the world deserves.
Great food, great service, and the banter between workers is actually amazing. The staff is great and amiable, and chef even took a custom order for a couple of late night customers. Much love and thanks, will definitely come again!

Cheap, tasty, fast. Everything you'd want/need from the local campus diner.
Had a great burger and a chocolate malt and my daughter had a grilled cheese and shake. Typical old school style diner with good food. I like the menu that says this is good food, not necessarily good for you food (or something like that).
Was in town for a Confrence and this Diner was Conviniently located, Horseshoe burger was FANTASTIC but WAY more than I could eat, A large menu which impressed me and The service was Superb, DEFINITELY worth stopping! The atmosphere was also worth noting, Kind of a stereotypical 60's diner with all sorts of decorative stuff 5/5!
