    #2 Mamas Daughters Special, Chicken & Waffle.
    Brooke A.

    Love this place! So cozy and the prices were so great! The portions were honestly perfect too. I got the mamas daughter's special with scrambled eggs and french toast (I completely forgot to take a picture before devouring my eggs). My friend really enjoyed her chicken and waffles! Our server was kind and helpful!

    Hash Hashbrowns

    Ordered for pickup. It was ready very quickly. Hashbrowns were not remotely crispy. Fried egg was very overdone, bread was super cheap, and sandwich did not remotely match the photo they had posted of it which has two plump eggs and on better bread. Sausage gravy had very little sausage in it but the flavor was good.

    It's not bad, but it's not the best. I went here because I was invited, and I was hoping that it would really be some good food! And not saying that it wasn't but it reminds me of those small town diners in a creepy town. They do have a parking lot with limited parking , and they charge you to park after 3p They were very nice and welcoming, it's not my vibe but I'd definitely let others know to check it out.

    Location Uptown by trinity river Parking Large lot Atmosphere Kitchy diner-Mama's saying on walls Seating Booths, tables, great for groups. Service Outstanding- Menu Daily specials-breakfast, lunch, peach cobbler only on Fridays. We had the pancakes, eggs, toasted English muffin, and bacon.

    Good place for comfort food, reasonable pricing and very homey. While the dishes weren't anything out of the ordinary, it still made for a satisfying meal. Would come back

    It was the day before Thanksgiving, and we were looking for a breakfast spot before we headed into Dallas to finish our sightseeing. This restaurant is in an industrial section of town, which gives a kind of a sketchy vibe, but don't let that put you off. We were seated quickly, and while we were looking at the menu, we watched as tables towering with pies and other Thanksgiving items were being picked up. With that huge amount of pre-orders, you have to know that the food here is good. My boyfriend got biscuits and gravy, and I got the pecan waffle. My boyfriend loved the sausage gravy, and he actually said that this was the best gravy he's ever eaten. My pecan waffle was fabulous - nice thick, Belgian waffle filled with pecans. As we kept seeing pies getting picked up, we knew it was too late to order one for our own Thanksgiving, but they had pies by the slice so we were able to take two pecan pie slices with us to go. We ate those the next day, and thought we had died and gone to heaven! I wish we lived closer so that we could return to this delicious spot, I would highly recommend you give it a try!

    French Toast

    I had a delicious sugar overload with the staff kindness, patience and guidance. I had the French toast and pecan pie With whip cream on top absolutely delicious.

    A coworker of mine took us here and I'm so glad she did. The pricing is reasonable and you get a lot of food! The service was great, we were attended to very quickly and the food was out almost immediately. If you're looking for some good home cooking that isn't a chain (or from your own home), I would definitely suggest heading to Mama's Daughters'!

    Great place for amazing American no frills food! Service is great also with many attentive waiters and servers that are always within reach. It's a flash back army but it's a great trip down memory to a time when people interacted with others in the same space and surroundings. Great for that reason you can't help to speak to people and talk to those around you.

    Such a great restaurant, with comfort food selections and yummy. Only negative is, it is so popular, you might have to wait for a seat.

    A local family diner with an old school vibe. You come in and sit anywhere. It's great to bring your grandparents who like to read the newspaper hehehe lol the food is so good. It gives homemade breakfast. Everything I had was a 10/10. Ashley was our server and she was great. I would come back when I need a home cooked meal

    With everyone is watching carbs, touting the newest dietary buzzwords of the day, it's nice to know…read morethere's a place that we all remember growing with and doesn't apologize for it. Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

    Thought I would try the Chicken Livers today. I haven't had them since I was a teenager... and…read moreno... not doing the math on that one! Walked in, joined the line and placed my order. Noticed ladies working in the dining room to assure tables are clean as soon as customers leave. Once your meal is ready, they will call your name or someone will bring it to your table. Retro decor. Loved the music. Located across from SMU. You have the college crowd, residents from the neighborhood, grandparents with their grandchildren, and drive thru all buzzing with conversation. I found the chicken livers lightly battered, crispy on the outside and very tender meat on the inside. Mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans were my sides. All tasty. Add additional seasonings and pepper sauce if you prefer. Be sure to check out the banana pudding. I requested extra meringue. Dessert was made fresh and tasted great. Pick-up, drive through, or dine in. Side note: Although there is no place for a tip when paying for your order... I always leave a tip on the table or hand it to the ladies working there. Much deserved for their hard work, friendly smiles, and pleasant attitude.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive--they really go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of. The food is the real star here. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The portions are HUGE, so you definitely get your money's worth. Their chicken fried steak is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy is rich and delicious. Don't even get me started on the pies--they're out of this world! Service was fast, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the whole experience just felt genuine and comforting. If you're looking for a spot with great food, generous portions, and top-notch service, Norma's Cafe is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

I had the chicken fried steak and eggs with the homemade biscuit... oh man. It had been. A while since I had something that good. My wife.\nHad the french toast and bacon. The bread tasted like it was sweet at home.It was already sweet and the bacon was nice , long and thick and crispy. Order a cinnamon roll to go , which we're excited to have here in a couple of hours, but everyone in this establishment is very hospitable , and everyone has a smile. If you have a chance to come and to enjoy please do so. Ask for Joshua!!! Great young man.
