The restaurant also has a really fun vibe. The decor is themed around the Day of the Dead (don't worry not creepy)! Just really fun and a good atmosphere. Always lots of people.

Based on the older reviews of this place, it seems that Mama Brown has evolved into a different…read morerestaurant since the pandemic. What was once a place known for fish tacos is now more of a tribute to American Diner foods like hamburgers, fries, shakes, chicken and waffles. Overall, I really like this place. It's a great hangout spot for groups to bond over nice smashburgers, fries, waffles and fried chicken. Pros: great selection of burgers, fried chicken and a variety of waffles both savory and sweet in options. Con: if I had anything to complain about, it would be the odd liquid nature of the shakes. As an American, I'm used to shakes that are served thick enough at least initially to be eaten with a spoon. With shakes like Snickers bars mixed in, you expect a thicker more frozen shake to evenly disperse the candy bits. The shakes here are more molten ice cream milk in viscosity which is problematic causing the candy bits to all congregate at the bottom. I'm still giving this a 4 out of 5 because I do recommend this place. If they ever redo the shakes to be thicker and more frozen in nature, it would elevate the Americana experience in Wellington even moreso.

If you have issues with slow or rude service, speak up! I hate it when people gripe about something, but then don't say anything to resolve the issue. Restaurants and cafes need to hear feedback, and a review site is one place you can let your violent and passionate hate flow. However, another route you can take is to let your server or waitstaff know! They're in the service industry and should be catering to please you. Passive-aggressive behavior only comes back to haunt and not help you, dear diner. That said, cafe workers should realize that there's a certain expectation of niceties when working in the SERVICE and HOSPITALITY industry. A smile goes a long way, and sometimes, an apology with an "I'll get right on it" will work wonders. I like this place because it's no-nonsense. It's run almost similar to a fast-food establishment, but with a lot better food. Their vegetarian burger is the best in Wellington. Hands down. They've got tasty curly fries, too. I'm a devoted carnivore, but I end up ordering the veggie burger every single time because I know it'll be delicious. They should definitely think about entering it into the Burger Wellington competition. Evenings are much more delightful without the lunch time crowd rushing to get their meals in under an hour.
