Upon walking into Mary Cody's, you're treated with a nice replica of what would be an Irish pub. It's a great environment, nice and cozy for great conversation. This being my first visit, I'm sure I had that face of "What am I doing here, I need help!" I was quickly greeted and had the cream of the crop for eating locations, I took saddle at the bar. Looking at the limited menu for breakfast, everything was tempting. I took the following: Meat Lover's Skillet, Eggs Benedict, Biscuits and Homemade Sausage Gravy, and Buttermilk Pancakes. Meat Lovers Skillet It was expected. Well executed. I didn't need to season the dish. Came out fresh. Nothing to write home about, but their take on the Meat Lovers Skillet is solid. Let's be honest, can be purchased anywhere in the area. Eggs Benedict Eggs were runny and perfect. I'd happily buy again. Biscuits and Homemade Sausage Gravy HANDS DOWN, the best sit-down biscuits and gravy in the area! Most restaurant have Chef Mic(rowave) in the back, nuking biscuits and gravy. Not here! You can tell that this dish is made from scratch. I'd love to take an IV direct into my vein and just pipe the gravy into my bloodstream. *Chef's Kiss* Buttermilk Pancakes Pancakes are hearty and filling. I'd have no problems recommending the pancakes here. If you're looking for value and QUANTITY, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a true under the radar breakfast place, with great and quick service, friendly atmosphere, and all the dishes coming out perfect and fresh. It's worth the money. Easily a top 10 hidden gem breakfast spot in the LaCrosse/Onalaska area. Biscuits and gravy, BEST IN THE AREA.

I think I enjoy the atmosphere more than anything. It’s just a decent little place to sit down and I’ve been here multiple times. Took my partner and mother-in-law here this time. My favorite time to stop in is definitely during breakfast. Their prices could be better on certain things, but their food has yet to disappoint. Hope to visit again soon!!

This is probably some of the BEST breakfast you can get in lacrosse in my opinion and we’ve tried most of the options around because we’re big breakfast people. Everything was hot and fresh when we got it and their coffee is nice and strong not watered down like some places. I wish we came here sooner now that we’re about to move out of town. If you’re in town I highly recommend! And it’s CHEAP, 26 for two people!

Went for Sunday breakfast. We were lucky and one of the tables near the window was open. The waitress was accommodating to my dietary restrictions, going so far as to ask clarifying questions. The Caprese skillet was flavorful with an ample portion. Noting it's Italian flavor profile, I think it'd be better with the sausage. I do recommend, if you're looking for a new savory breakfast to try.

Nancy and I stumbled across this place after our original plan directly to the south was closed. Upon entering we immediately loved the ambiance and sophisticated vibe we felt. The very personable tender of the bar made us feel very welcome and took care of our hydration needs posthaste. What followed was a wonderful late morning breakfast coupled with a very interesting conversation with our intelligence and engaging mixologist/server. Rest assured we shall participate in a reiteration of this feting experience.
