Honest Mary’s is a fast-casual, health-focused bowl restaurant at 4701 183A, Ste. B300, Cedar Park, TX 78613, in north Cedar Park’s U.S. 183A corridor. Founded by Nelson and Mary Monteith as an Austin-based restaurant with a mission of improving communities through wholesome food, it draws travelers for made-from-scratch grain bowls, accommodating dietary choices, and a quick but substantial meal.
What to Expect at Honest Mary’s
The format is built around signature bowls and a build-your-own option: choose a base, proteins and vegetables, then finish with house sauces. The kitchen prepares food in-house daily and emphasizes ingredients without artificial additives or refined sugar, with organic produce used when possible, hormone-free meat, wild-caught tuna, and a seed-oil-free approach except for the Creamy Poblano and Lemon Garlic sauces. Menu labels identify gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, and seed-oil-free choices, making it particularly useful for mixed-diet groups.
Start with a signature bowl if time is tight. The Garlic Pepper Chimichurri combines garlic-pepper steak, organic spinach, basmati rice, sweet corn, sesame-charred broccoli, crispy chickpeas, and chimichurri. The plant-forward Sedona Lime brings together black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and cashew-lime crema. Other menu sections include sipping broths, kids’ meals, family options, sweets and snacks, plus drinks. Ordering is geared to an easy lunch or early dinner rather than a formal, coursed restaurant experience.
- Farm & Ranch bowl: Tricolored quinoa, tender kale, roasted Brussels sprouts, black beans, a Vital Farms hard-boiled egg, edamame, tomatoes, tortilla strips, and creamy herb goat-cheese sauce.
- Aloha Poke bowl: Hand-line-caught poke with basmati rice, avocado, Asian slaw, edamame, pickled onions, jalapeños, black sesame, and sesame vinaigrette.
- Smoky Poblano bowl: Basmati rice, wild arugula, sweet corn, pickled onions, Texas goat cheese, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and creamy poblano sauce.
- Build Your Bowl: A flexible route for choosing proteins, greens or grains, vegetables, toppings, and sauce to match appetite and dietary needs.
- Nutrition and allergen information: The official menu provides dietary identifiers and detailed ingredient guidance for planning an order.
