This place is pure magic! My friend and I stood outside as soon as it opened, and the line was already stretching around the side of the restaurant. Within minutes of the doors unlocking, the place was packed--buzzing with energy, laughter, and the clinking of dishes. And it's no surprise why: everything about this spot is incredible! The menu felt like a work of art--carefully curated with an attention to detail you can taste in every bite. Each dish was methodically crafted, and the aromas alone were enough to transport us to culinary heaven. From the first sip of the Bloody Mary, which was vibrant, rich, and practically alive, to the coffees that were more than just drinks--they were miniature masterpieces, decorated so beautifully they felt like Christmas trees on the Fourth of July. This restaurant doesn't just serve food--it serves an experience. Every plate, every cup, every aroma felt like a moment of art in motion. It's a place where the boundaries between food and storytelling blur, delivering more than just a meal but a sensory adventure. If you appreciate flavors that sing and coffee that inspires, run (don't walk) to this place. Absolutely worth the wait--spectacular in every sense!
As my group was enjoying breakfast here, I occasionally heard snippets of conversation from nearby tables along the lines of, "This is why they've been in business all these years," or "Of course it's good, it's Manory's." There is clearly a dedicated set of patrons here, and I can see why. They have a lot of qualities I look for in this type of restaurant. The atmosphere is casual. The staff are friendly yet very professional. The menu is varied and quite interesting, and everything comes out quickly... really quickly. Restaurant chains that specialize in breakfasts should come here and watch and learn. I had a tough time figuring out what to have, but I settled on a breakfast combo featuring their crispy hash and pancakes, in this case their banana cinnamon pancakes. Their has was the best I have had in many years, indeed crispy but also not greasy at all. All our meals came out at once. Even though it was a busy Saturday morning, there was rarely a wait for a table, and when there was, it was a short wait. These folks know what they're doing - of course they do, that's why there still in business after all these years.
AMAZING as always the service and the food! OMG if you have not been for the Cinnamon roll, the pancakes, the Trojan with the gravy. I have NEVER had anything there that I did not like :)
Good was good service was great. Whole staff were very friendly, street parking was not so bad. 10/10
Went to Manory's before going to the Farmer's Market. Great choice! I got Peanut Butter and Jelly Waffles. Amazing!
Had an amazing breakfast this weekend at Manory's and can't wait to visit again soon! We arrived around 10:45 am on a Sunday and it was crowded with a wait, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The servers were hustling here, we were greeted quickly. We tried a spiked iced coffee and a cocktail from the specials menu - strawberry champagne margarita. Both were delicious. We ordered the buffalo chicken omelette and lumberjack pancakes (made with sausage in the batter and sausage gravy on top). Our food arrived quickly, hot and very tasty. The portions were excellent as well. While it was very busy in here, everyone was working hard to provide a great experience. The only issue we faced was when we arrived, because it was cold out, patrons were crowding the doorway inside. This made it difficult to figure out who was in line and how to put our name on the waitlist. I'm not sure a solution besides being aware you may have to wait outside, the employees kept asking people to clear the doorway but people were stubborn. We're already planning a visit to try something from the lunch section!
A mom and pop shop at its finest. I'd you're looking for that butter crispy edge pancake spot. This is your spot! I love a good pancake and this hit home for me. This is a hole in a wall that only locals usually go to. I really enjoyed it and honestly you will get your monies worth.
Chose this restaurant on a whim for breakfast as it was on our way from the airport and we were starving, and it ended up being a great find! We didn't realize it was Troy's oldest restaurant. It has a diner feel with breakfast and lunch options. Our server recommended the muffins as that's what they're known for, so I got the grilled muffin breakfast (if you've never had a grilled muffin you're missing out). It was delicious! And also huge. It came with sausage and eggs as well.The highlight for me was the seasonal coffee options, the gingerbread shaken espresso was amazing.
the banana bread french toast was one of the *best* things I've eaten in a hot minute. 10/10. Looking forward to eating my way through their list of creative pancake options such as fruity pebbles, cookies n' cream, etc.
I worked in Troy for many years within walking distance to Manory's. Co-workers and I did not eat here because, unfortunately, with only a half-hour lunch, you couldn't get in, eat, and get back to work in that amount of time. Should we have taken extra time for lunch? Maybe. SO and I decided one weekend to give it a try. I am very glad we did. The special that day was a "waffle french toast." What a great idea! Wish I had thought of it myself. (Love my waffle iron for more than waffles.) It was large enough to enjoy and not have left-overs. Crispy waffles dipped in egg and then fried on the grill. OMG. Yes, I'd go back just for these bad boys. Side of bacon was enough for two people; crispy and bacon-y. Took my leftover bacon home for another meal. Keep in mind that there is limited parking in Troy. I did find a public lot a block away; but during the week you might not be that lucky. Staff are very busy but do refill your coffee regularly.
