Mary Ann’s Deli & Catering

Cute place, friendly service. The menu has good variety. What we ate was delicious! Pimiento cheese and bacon sandwich with a salad. And pastrami and Swiss with tomato soup. Yummy!!! We also had Mississippi mud bites for dessert… so good. I will be back!

This restaurant has a bad practice of closing way before their posted closing time. Posted time for closing on Sunday is 3:00 but they are closed by 2:20 because they say «we’re not very busy». Poor management and no appreciation for their customers. Wonder how they would feel if all businesses followed this practice.

Very nice casual lunch/​sandwich shop. My wife and I both had «make your own» sandwiches, and they were great. I asked for extra meat and cheese, and there was no additional charge. The crushed ice for the drinks was another nice touch. I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re in the mood for sandwiches and a simple dining experience.

I love this quaint eating place in Fairhope. They have really great, freshly made food, the prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is casual and quaint. They have outside eating as well and parking is on the street.

Fabulous food and service. The selection and variety is amazing. The quality of the meat, breads and cheeses are great. The friendly staff is very accommodating. I love the outside tables. It’s always clean and neat. I love going for lunch.

Yum Yum. I do not know why this place falls off of my radar, except for perhaps I end up buying a lot of cr@p in the vendor space on my way out. Have my eye on those driftwood side tables for the patio…
The food is A+++. The sides are very diverse and make up for the price.
Today I had the quiche (perfect) with very fresh fruit salad. My Mother had the grilled chicken sandwich with the broccoli salad. Since I am a slow eater I missed the chance to sample heres, but the plate was clean.
I also love the fact that the place is very «green». All table clean-​up is sorted for recycling.
There is nice space for outdoor dining.
The space is a bit too industrial and there are drafts. It is NOT a cheap lunch choice, but worth a couple of extra dollars for good, very good, simple food.

Our favorite lunch spot in Fairhope! They have gorgeous sandwiches and luscious salads. The French Dip and chicken salad sandwich are my favorites. They have super yummy deserts also. We try something different in the menu each time and we loved them all.

First time trying Mary Anne’s. My parents love it and always rave about it. I had the RTC III and it was delicious.

Consistently delicious food and good service. As a local, I am very familiar with the place — never had a bad meal. Great salads (The caesar is amazing) and awesome sandwiches.

They ruined the grilled pimento cheese with too much mayo! Disappointing.

After trying with no luck to get into McSlurry’s Pub (closed) and Panini Pete’s (packed), I realized that this place existed. From the outside it is hard to tell. It’s cold out so no one is sitting outside on the patio. Walk in – different story. It is a great, fast-​moving deli. I loved the white bean chicken chili soup that my husband ordered. I chose a greek salad with chips on the side, it too, was delicious and most importantly every bite was FRESH.
Service was friendly. You go in, get on line and order. Simple and easy. Grab a seat (we sat by the window) and enjoy the décor. They bring the food out to you when it’s ready. The décor is really interesting from the quotes on the art work on the wall (which made us chuckle), to the really cool «big ass fan» (that is really what it was called and it was BIG!) on the ceiling. Be sure not to get confused by the menu of another dining establishment advertising on their cash registers. It’s weird. Must be a town thing.
Prices were right, food was good and tasty. Cute «deli». Free refills on drinks (you help yourself) and you’ll want them because they fill your cup with ice. Tons of ice!
Will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu.

Great food, nice use of flavors in their sandwiches. Moderately priced, service can be slow when they are busy, however their quality of food makes up for that.

Both sandwiches we had were delicious. Pimento cheese and the fish sandwich tasted fresh and homemade. They split our bowl of soup into two cups and brought the food to the table quickly and efficiently. The only downside was paying $ 30 for our meal… Just a little on the pricey side for me for lunch.

My husband and I really like Mary Ann’s sandwiches — have been there twice so far and had the Italian Hero and the RTC III (smoked ham, bacon and jack cheese with homemade honey mustard on grilled sourdough) with pickle and chips. We enjoyed eating at the picnic tables outside while listening to live music and checking out the shops in the Windmill Market. We look forward to trying their salads and many of their other sandwiches — I think this will be one of our downtown favorites for lunch and would definitely recommend.

Mary Ann’s is the go to place for casual but good lunch fare in Fairhope. The staff is terrific — they understand that you are there to grab a bite and they make it as easy as possible.
Men and women look for different things when choosing a restaurant. I’m a guy that likes a hearty lunch. Fairhope has a lot of lunch places that are fine but serve what I call girl-​food. You know, salad nicoise, perfect dainty sandwiches, soup of the day… Mary Ann’s is that too but knows how to keep a guy happy.
They have great tea, daily quiche and sandwich specials, and a menu broad enough to make me happy.
And its in the fabulous Windmill Market. Live music during lunch several days a week, check your listings… And Moe’s BBQ is under the same roof. Talk about boy food…
While its not a deli in the New York tradition (sigh) it is a fine place to dine and keep both men and women happy.

A Fairhope tradition frequented by locals. The owner/​Chef Bob is professionally trained and eager to please and does! The Cosmopolitian Salad is the best!

For a nice, very casual lunch spot in downtown Fairhope, Mary Ann’s can’t be beat. The counter where you order is towards the back of the Westside Market. After you order, sit down at one of the many tables and someone will bring you your basket. I went twice this weekend and had the chicken salad sandwich and the blackened fish poboy. Both were exceptionally good and I highly recommend them. Their salads also look really good. My girlfriend said Regina’s salad was really tasty. One downside is that there is very little A/​C and it can get hot late in the day, but they say they are working on it.
For a super casual deli-​counter style lunch spot in Fairhope — this is it.

Its just not a trip home if I dont make it to Mary Ann’s for lunch at some point. The sweet tea is perfection — the salad plate is a classic with any three of your choice (egg, potato, chicken, tuna, pasta, fruit) — but try any of the sandwiches too, and then you have to save room for the Mississippi mud cake — so sweet it will literally make your teeth ache but in a good way. I’ve never had a bad meal here, from salads to sandwiches to the quiche of the day. The poppyseed dressing for the fruit salad is delicious too if you’re in the mood for something sweet but not too bad for you. Its quintessential Faih-​hope and if you dont see someone in linen or some monogrammed item then you’re probably in the wrong place. Perfect place to take a friend before/​after some downtown shopping!

I had lunch here today and thought this was a cute place! We sat in the courtyard (which was very nice) and everything we ordered was good.
I had the quiche (could have had a nicer crust– there wasn’t one) and fruit salad. The fruit was ripe, fresh, and was a wide variety (banana, strawberry, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes). Hubby had the muffaletta and it was fantabulous. He scarfed it down so fast I barely got a few bites. His parents also enjoyed their sandwiches (I can’t remember what they got).
Word of warning– we got there at about 1pm on a Saturday and had no problem getting a table and we got our food quickly. By the time we were getting ready to leave (about 1:30– 1:45) there was a line through the courtyard and no available tables.
They sell beer and wine (yay!) and we were very pleased with the whole experience.

Really nice courtyard. I had a ruben and my friend had red beans and rice. Both just passable. Took forever to arrive and was not worth the cost.
