Maryann and Wanda's Eatery

We had family in from out of town and brought them here for lunch. Just amazing!!! We were so full when we left. We had three take home boxes. We had the naked pork chops, with white beans and mashed potatoes. We had a broccoli cheddar soup (trees and cheese) and a grilled cheese sammich. Mama Mia sammich with sweet potato fries. A Philly cheese steak with sweet potato fries. Poppy seed chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. All in all, just an amazing lunch. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves home cooking. The milk shakes are just amazing too!

This young lady is awesome from the time we walked in . The time we left, she was great nice respectful funny she is a great waitress. Food is on fire. I could not finish it all because of this big milkshake. The young lady that makes the milkshake she was great also her and the other lady had a bet I could not finish the shake but I did. Really friendly place. It has a really cool setup. They have a variety of board games to play while you wait on your food and old arcade games. A place we will be going back to.

Boast Maryann & Wanda's Eatery in Lyles TN.
I came across this eatery going through this little town on a road-trip.

Customer service was fantastic! I placed the order over the phone and originally was wanting to try the “ it ain’t easy bein cheezy” deep fried cheez curds and raviolis battered in our house parm dust $8.95

They were unfortunately out of ravioli, so I decided not to get just the cheese curds.

Instead, I opted for Hawaiian hammy, which was a glazed, thick cut baked ham, grilled Polynesian pineapple, spinach and mozzarella cheese. $9.95

This was really good! You got the taste of the saltiness from the ham and the sweetness from the pineapple. I would’ve liked a little more seasoning on the sandwich because the spinach had absolutely no taste. (my preference.)

The fries were homemade, and when I got there, they were still warm. They too could’ve used a little more seasoning

If I’m ever out that way again, I will definitely stop in and try something different. Hopefully the next time they have the raviolis with the cheese curds to try.

Cute decorations ! Love the variety in the menu! I got the turkey and dressing and my husband got the chicken n dumplings! The sweet potato casserole and deviled eggs were delicious!! The white girl wasted tea was yum! Wish we had room for dessert! Will be back again!

What a gem!! This eatery is a must visit, a real country atmosphere, with good O'l southern hospitality. The staff were very friendly and funny. The food was extremely delicious 😋. I had the Fresh Prince Philly and it was fabulous 👌🏼. We didn't get to try any of the homemade milk shakes, but we will definitely be coming back to indulge. There were so many options and they all looked tasty! Even the local patrons were super friendly. I highly recommend stopping by if you are ever in the area, and give this place a taste!

I have been wanting to play bingo for a long time now, and they have recently started family bingo night on Fridays. Well, my birthday happened to fall on a Friday this year and I planned a little over a week in advance that, that was what I was going to do.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (including patrons) were so fun and nice. You can tell the atmosphere they have created is a fun and enjoyable one b/c everyone was just relaxed and enjoying each other's company.
Bingo was awesome! I didn't win, but I laughed so much and had the best time. From folks heckling the caller to the caller piping back at them and everyone just laughing to the super neat decor. It was so awesome.
I ordered the special for the night, and it too, was so tasty.
I will say for the folks who have left the bad comments about the food, I will say this....is it a 5 star? No. Is it fancy dining? No. It is 'southern' cooking, down-home, Cheers like, fun atmosphere where folks just share tables and chit-chat and enjoy themselves? Yes!! They have that full southern flavored sits with you for a minute, but tastes oh so good kinda food. I don't know how much fat was used in the cabbage that night, but it was some of the BEST cabbage I've ever had.
They even put a little happy birthday note on my shake that I ordered. Southern hospitably meets southern cooking with a come as you are for an enjoyable time kinda spot.
I am so excited to have such a spot so close to home.

*Our Pepsi machine is brand new but could not seem to keep the cold plate cool enough to have the drink flavors not taste wonky, this was repaired by Pepsi today. We had no clue you have to keep the cool plate in the machine cool or it will taste flat. 🙈
*All 4 pastas are made fresh each morning at 8am and placed in our ovens to stay hot all day long. We will add cheese, sauce & spices and thru the day to freshen up just as any restaurant industry does. No oil or grease additives is included but what the ingredients may release once baked together.👍
* Catering side is different per event & request of the clients. Each dilemma or issue that day is revise & resolved without stressing the clients to improvise. We aim for 💯 satisfaction. All trial & error! 💕
* Our shakes are made to order so each one is unique, if you prefer thick or thin, please let us know. We are happy to create according to your desire. 🙌

This was one of my favorite places to eat and certainly one of the best in the area! I hope they've just relocated I went there today and they were closed with the for lease sign in the window..... If you girls see this I hope you open again somewhere soon.

I just like places like this. Food was good. The staff are very attentive. Even the trip to the bathroom was not boring. Dark Vader worked.a must see experience. You will have fun reading the menu.

The food is delicious and the service is even better. The waitresses always so hello when you come in, check on you frequently and seem to actually enjoy their job...unlike MANY chain style restaurants. Highly recommend!

MaryAnn & Wanda’s was contacted to cater for my bookclub and with very short notice they accepted. Tasha came up with themed Harry Potter sorting house shakes and capri suns, which made our night even more fun. It turned it into “Harry Potter Night” from anticipation of those treats alone. It was awesome! She event went out of her way to get treat toppers MADE by friends so she would have them in time for us. Truly above and beyond!!!
They also made us a food menu. I ate the country fried steak, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes, & green beans and it was phenomenal!! Truly delicious southern cooking backed by an amazing group of people, how could it get any better? Definitely check them out!!

What’s not to love about this classic small town Tennessee restaurant! It made my entire visit from out of town totally worth it. Pork chop is amazing. And don’t forget the banana split!!

We went on a Saturday. I had best chicken and Dumplings. The milk shakes were awesome. I liked it so much took the family back for breakfast on Tuesday. Great breakfast.

Delicious breakfast and lunch so far. Can't wait to try more! The most adorable place and friendliest service. Can't wait to bring everyone who visits here!!!!!

We had a great time and great service. Not to mention the best milkshake I’ve ever had.

Hidden gem!! Food was delicious. Service fantastic. Atmosphere was so unique and fun! Definitely recommend!! Can't wait to go back!!

This is one of my new “go-to” places! Very fast service, and the food is always very good. The prices are close to unbeatable, and the milkshakes are great. Below is the baby yoda shake (so cute) and it looked better than that when they brought it out (some of it was already eaten lol) highly recommend this place!

The dedication and service of the employees at Maryann and Wanda's is top notch. We booked them to cater our daughter's wedding and they knocked it out of the park. The food was perfect, they were helpful to the guests, they thought of everything and it showed! I never once worried about anything that they were in charge of. They are a jewel in our community and I'm thankful for them and their excellent work ethic.

Also, if you love milkshakes you definitely need to try theirs, large portions and great presentation!

Super fun decor and delicious classic southern fried food.

Great place unique awesome you go once you will want to go again food combo's u wouldn't even think of and wow really good eating
