Our experiences with Mara have been hit or miss--sometimes the food and service have been great, other times--not so much. The last time we went was for a birthday celebration. We had a reservation for five and showed up at the correct time only to be told our table wasn 't ready. They asked if we wanted to sit at the bar while we waited, which was fine except for the fact that the bartender gave us menus. It became pretty clear they wanted us to eat at the bar rather than at a table, which we didn 't want to do because (a) it was a birthday and (b) we 'd made a reservation for a table. Finally they got the hint and about fifteen minutes later we were seated. Now for the food. I ordered frie...
Went years back and didnt have good experience. decided to give it another shot. will be last time. food was all over cooked. ribs were incredibly dry and bland. smoked chicken the same. steak in the fajitas were fatty and all like linked together. was not easy at all to cut up to put in tortilla. small place, which lends itself to loud volume but the staff make it worse constantly by dropping vs placing plates in dirty plate bin behind bar which crash very loudly each time. weird how they could care less about the noise they make.
I do not live in the area but this popped up on my restaurants near me. When I first drove up to it I hesitated and almost went to a different location. I'm so SO GLAD I didn't. We had a big family lunch and we all got different dishes and tried a whole bunch of things including the crawfish cheesy bread appetizer, which the waitress had recommended. I LOVE THIS PLACE, and will def be back even though it's so far from where I live.
Food was great and I LOVED the bartender Sam. She was so polite and easy to talk to. I've been here about 3 times and luckily Sam was always there and always knew what to recommend on the menu because I can never make up my mind. Definitely coming back here, it's a hit or miss with friendly down to earth servers/bartenders in Long Island sometimes. I recommend the crawfish stuffed bread omg soooo good!

Maras has okay food, but with the lack of southern comfort around here it still remains in business. When I went, we waited 1 hour to get 3 entrees. We waited 30 mins for the check after asking... this was on a Thursday for lunch. I can't imagine what dinner is like here. They need to improve their service soon or the okay food won't keep them afloat.
Our family of 6 came in we each ordered a different menu item and proceeded to pass round our entrees saying oh my god you have to try this! Everything was so good! Our entrees were Jambalaya, Chicken Fried Steak, BBQ Brisket, Shrimp Po Boy, Mac n Cheese with Shrimp Crispy Duck Breast. Mari her staff are great. I highly recommend!!
No joke, our Lobster Roll was literally cut in half and served as a whole portion because they ran out. It was a birthday celebration so nobody wanted to complain and ruin the dinner. NONE of us will ever return.
AWFUL! Just AWFUL!!!! NEVER GO THERE!!! The food is awful and dry! Atmosphere is great, servers are awesome BUT FOOD IS AWFUL. I wanted so bad to like it, but it was just awful!!!

A fantastic spot for a New Orleans-style meal. One of party is gluten free and the menu/staff is accommodating.
