2008-05-15 03:01:05 There is indeed a parking lot behind Mark's. It's even paved now! Wacky. I don't think their towing service is all that good, but I think they got some complaints because I've actually been asked which car is mine while dining there lately, presumably to keep it from disappearing while I ate my meal. —PatrickHarris

2008-05-18 17:14:23 Pretty good version of the garbage plate - served with crinkle cut french fries rather than homefries. I do not care for any hot sauce on it so I can't give a comment about it. —MVPujols

2008-05-19 11:42:38 Ok diner fare, but the place needs a major remodel or hosing down. Great for late night food at 2 or 3 AM. —MrRochester

2008-08-27 16:30:43 The quintessential late night eatery as far as i'm concerned. I always opt for the cheeseburger special. The price has barely gone up at all on it since I started going there over 10 years ago. Even when this place is packed to the ceiling, the service is lightning fast. I can't say much for the company there on a weekend night, but the food is by far the best diner food around. —AlexD1234

2009-01-06 19:57:16 Decent food at low prices, but don't go there on a weeknight for dinner! I've gone there on weekends during the late-night rush, but never for dinner on a weeknight. What a mistake! There were a bunch of sketchy people with extremely poor hygiene (smelling of poop and cigarettes, I kid you not!!!) and rude table-side manners. One man kept hacking up phlegm very loudly which made everyone at my table gag. Don't get me wrong, I go to diners all the time and never expect a fancy atmosphere, but this was just a disgusting experience. Stick to Mark's for breakfast or post-drinking fare, but avoid at dinner time! —TrishHeckmann

2009-01-26 13:41:23 My friend was in the hospital hooked up to an IV for 4 days after he ordered a hot dog garbage plate. Enough said? I used to go there for their grilled cheeseburger and fries, which was good but since I've grown up and stopped getting wasted during the week and hanging out in the city I've seemed to not ever go there ever again. —PersonFace

2009-07-17 12:32:58 Used to go here all the time but they have just recently raised all the prices on their menu items. Also, watch out for the more expensive menu they give out late night. Now that the food isn't really cheap, there aren't a whole lot of other reasons to go here... —GioD

2009-07-25 01:59:33 I just went here with a few friends on a Friday night. After being short changed, we called the waitress out asking how our bill stacked up. She "corrected" our bill by saying we were off another incorrect amount of change, when really each menu item was overcharged by over a full buck. After calling us assholes for pinching pennies, we payed for the bill as it should have been with a correct tip, and the bouncer told us we were banned for life. Even if it's a late night dive, I was severely disappointed that the waitress would verbally assault us for her mistake in the bill. The plates were nothing above average and the customer service was completely out of line. Avoid Mark's, or at the very least, call them out on their bill. Be careful. —gandhi
