Mason-dixon Cafe - Fredericksburg

I truly enjoy the Veggie Melt and sweet potato tots! The salads and breakfast come in as a close second and third. Make sure to arrive by 11 or after 1 for lunch, as this spot tends to get quite busy.

I went with a friend who usually has good things to say about this restaurant, but today's experience was disappointing. Perhaps it was just because it was a Tuesday, but the food was quite greasy, the potatoes were undercooked, and the bacon was burnt. On a positive note, our waitress was fantastic and brought a lot of energy to the table. However, it might be a while before I decide to eat there again.

Every time we attempt to visit this restaurant, something seems to go wrong. It's consistently busy, which leads to long wait times and other complications.

We did the online reserve a table. It’s very unreliable, it gives you ann estimated time and the number of parties anhead of you. We arrived just a couple of minutes before it was our turn and it said 0 parties ahead of us. When I checked in, hostess said it was still a 20-30 minute wait. I checked in again at the 30 min mark they said maybe about 20 more minutes. Each time I hesitated to wait because our party of 5 has kids. We waited… for an hour before an outside table was then offered. With the heat and the kids we couldn’t accept. Another indoor table opened up right after and it was given to someone else. So we left. Total wait time 1hr 35mins when online it said 18-24 minutes. Waited in person 1 hour 5 minutes when were told 20 minutes. I understand times are estimated but over half an hour off is too much. Others also came to complain and a few left. So disappointed! In our time there it seemed liked the wait item for food was over 30 mins after ordering. Some tables sat empty for about 5 mins before anyone sat down. We found a different cafe near by so we also left. It had delicious food and amazing service, staff so attentive and fast paced. We saw a couple who had laso left just a few moments before us already eating their lunch. People actually smiled at us at Amy’s.

Food is delicious, but the service and organization is very poor and dissatisfying. If we were not already waiting for an hour and had out of town visitors with us, we would have left. The food is not worth the experience.
