Good home comfort food. It's name describes its food and atmosphere very well, it feels like Mama's Kitchen. Their chicken tenders and burgers with all the sides are yummy, as well as their fried okra! We have always had great service, orders never wrong, and out in a timely manner. read more

Great food, comfortable atmosphere. Breakfast is a must. Best biscuit and gravy in Green Valley. read more

Food and service was great. I'll be coming back. It was breakfast today but I'll try the lunch menu next time

I have eaten here many many times. Good basic food, enough variety.. For me, usually always breakfast. Fast service. Clean, and friendly staff, always smiling. Kinda like a local " hole in the wall " If you try it, you will come back!! read more

Friendly and quick service. Breakfast was great; they have Lots of choices. Prices are reasonable, maybe a little less than some. The atmosphere is that of a cafe, which feels downhome. read more

The food, prices and service were excellent. Will definitely be back. We usually go every few months.

It's GV and not a big city to be charging the prices that they now charge......most customers are all Seniors on limited incomes. $12.50 for a BLT with chips? And $17.00 for a burger? Really!! It's commonly known that hourly labor and food has gone up but......come on! Basic breakfast is now $14.99..... Sorry we won't be back! read more

This place caters to old folks, so the food is bland. Service was okay, not great. Prices were more than I thought the food warranted. Cute decorating. read more

Had breakfast here this morning. Nothing to write home about. I had the #7. Biscuits & Gravy with 2 eggs and bacon. The one word to desribe the meal is "BLAND". Other than the taste of pepper, the gravy had no flavor at all. Neither did the biscuits. I couldn't taste the difference between either. The wife had the pecan waffle and it was bone dry. Definitley not worth the $30 price tag. We didn't even have coffee. read more

Great Food in a Home Style Diner We happened to be at the Continental Shopping Plaza and saw this place opposite the Safeway in a strip and thought we'd give it a try. We were there at about 11:30 and most tables and booths were full. By noon, people were waiting. My wife had the Pork Tenderloin sandwich ($14.99) served on a hamburger bun with all the usual condiments and veggies and a Green Bean side dish. The pork was fried crispy and very moist inside. She really enjoyed it. The green beans were delicious, cooked with onion and green pepper. A perfect side. I ordered the Cowboy Breakfast ($10.99) served in a skillet. Crisp fried potatoes topped with a tasty chili with beans, cheese, 2 eggs cooked as you like, and I added grilled onion. Toast was included. A very filling dish that I would recommend. They close mid-afternoon so consider them for breakfast or lunch. read more

Two stars because it's local. Otherwise our breakfast was below par. I had the skillet, it was tasteless. It's obvious they use the cheapest ingredients. Of course my eggs were cooked wrong, the sausage came out in nice little cubes. The potatoes had no taste. The sever never bothered to serve us a second cup of coffee. The booths are very tight. You literally have to squeeze in and out of them.We rarely go out to eat with the exception of our favorite restaurants, mainly because the food, service, and cost just isn't worth it. We won't be going back. read more

Had breakfast there a few days ago. It was prepared as ordered. Allot of food to boot. The service was excellent and they kept my coffee cup filled. The place is quaint and has a homie feel to it. Great place for some great eats. read more

A good bet for breakfast: this Green Valley site is a local favorite. Mama's offers standard breakfast fare always cooked to perfection. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and although the seating is a little tight, the ambience is cheerful. read more

Terrible service and bland food. The only thing positive was the English muffin and eggs

We had Breakfast on 4/17/2025 Service was Ok. Food was bad Hash browns were over cooked hard to eat like eating toothpicks and tasteless. My wife tried an omelet and it was terrible. best part of the meal was the biscuits. I would try a new cook. Tried to tell the waitress and she just walked away read more

The place was packed on a Sunday and service was very slow. The food was just okay...there are enough other places in town so we won't return. read more

We all love honesty right? Yes, if you are a first timer it looks like a place your walking into to play bingo. Don't let that turn you off. The food is always delicious. My order was even wrong, I asked for American cheese and they gave my like a jack cheddar, which I was bummed about, but still delicious nonetheless. Hard workers, good food, decent prices...you can't beat that. Just be careful of the entire parking lot lol...you get some crazies. Haha read more

Mana's Kitchen has been in the Continental Shopping Mall for years. An unpretentious mom. And pop type shop open for breakfast and lunch Always a good home style food. Nothing fancy about this place, just good food read more

A cozy place to start your day. My wife and I go there often and enjoy it each and every time. The food and staff are fantastic.

We got some lunch (me) and breakfast (hubby) here today and it was delicious! I got a patty melt and onion rings and all was cooked fresh and these are the best onion rings I ever had!!!! Will go back and glad this spot is in my neighborhood!!! read more

Mama's Kitchen - Onion rings to die for!! - New American Near Me - Green Valley, Arizona

Quick easy breakfast place that serves a good hot breakfast! A pretty regular hangout for local folks.

When you walk in, there's no real waiting area, and the restaurant was busy! They told us we could sit anywhere we liked. There were only 2 seats at the same table as another family, so we decided to wait. Others sat down after us at this seats. Unfortunately, there's not much room to be picky. A gentleman left, and we took over his table. They wiped down the table with a rather smelly rag. But everything else seemed very clean. I ordered the #2- 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, potatoes and toast. There are several options to spice that up such as your choice of an English muffin or biscuits instead of toast and sausage instead of eggs. It's a very simple breakfast choice. My husband ordered the French toast with 2 eggs and bacon. Both of us ordered the eggs over medium (which many restaurants seem to not understand), and the same held true here. The eggs were runny and over easy. My husband loved the flavor of the French toast. I felt my potatoes didn't have enough flavor. They were homemade with peppers and onions, but nothing was super special about them. The staff was nice and friendly and seemed to like working there. People seemed happy to be there. And with no real other breakfast joint in the area, I could tell why it was crowded. I really wish I could have given it 5 stars, but I wasn't super impressed. It was good food but not amazing. Try for yourself! read more

We used to come here a fair amount, but hadn't eaten at Mama's Kitchen for a few years. There is a sign on the window advertising for a cook, and boy howdy do they need one. I got the cowboy, which was potatoes, chili, cheese and eggs. Hard to mess up, right? It was under seasoned, and the chili appears to be either made by someone who doesn't understand the concept or to be the cheapest nastiest canned stuff anyone could buy. Either way, it was sour and bitter, like it'd turned. My daughter's corned beef hash was similar in texture to scrapple, for those familiar with the Maryland dish made from fried ground pork snout, but with next to no seasoning. The other dishes served were also under seasoned and, where applicable, unpleasantly sweet. We had to pop to the Safeway across the street for parfait to get the taste out of our mouths. No one was able to finish - and it's not super cheap either. A real shame. The service was good, but that's about all this place has going for it. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service! We are in town visiting and had the opportunity to eat at Mama's kitchen. I had French toast and chicken fried steak. read more

Good Food, friendly people. The interior is in desperate need of painting or refresh

Nice people. Good prices. Sadly, the food was mediocre. There aren't many other places in town, so you could do worse.

Cutest OG breakfast spot. Service was stellar. Super clean and good food. Classic breakfast spot.

Service was wonderful! Our wait staff checked on us frequently and were very friendly. I got the Eggs Benedict but substituted tomato for ham. It was delicious! Perfect Hollandaise sauce and veggies (tomatoes and spinach) were cooked perfectly. The hash browns were good as well. Crispy on top, which I like. Coffee was very good. My fiance ordered French Toast. He said it was very good and was happy that they had sugar-free syrup. I tried a couple of his fried potatoes which had a few red peppers and onions. The potatoes didn't taste or look homemade to me but my fiance liked them. I rate the food 4 1/2 stars. Also, the meat choices are limited. If you don't eat pork don't expect options like turkey bacon or sausage. Overall though it is wonderful and we would go back! read more

We visited on a Saturday morning, around 9am. We were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere. As soon as we sat down we were greeted by our server with coffee. Very nice! We took a few minutes to go over the menu because it was our first visit. Placed our order and our food was served to us very quickly. The food was delicious and well served! Our cups of coffee were constantly filled. Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and great food! New to GV and we definitely found our breakfast spot! read more

This is my 3rd time posting this but Yelp isn't working. So to get my point across one last time. Don't go here, go to Dennys or Jerry Bob's instead food would be better. The price you pay isn't worth the little food provided. Tasted bland and dry. The service very much gave the vibe of being in a hospital cafeteria. The waitresses weren't happy to be there. In this economy, mom-pop shops need to have love in their establishments. You really should be children-friendly (you need kid's menus and crayons) it won't break the bank. You also need to have respect for veterans and provide them a discount, or a free cup of coffee, or a simple thank you. I overheard you just say "No, no military discount" to that vet not even thanking him for his service. Remember it's for men and women like him that you have the freedom to have your establishment. All in all do better you have potential. read more

Denver omelet served to me was some scrambled eggs with uncooked green peppers and tomatoes. That is NOT a Denver omelet. Won't go back.

The food here is nothing special and the inside is abit rundown but the staff here are the best. They are super nice and very pleasant to talk with. read more

Awesome service and great food at even better prices they always make you feel like you're getting something extraordinary love this place it's just like home.

Friendly staff and the food was very good. I had breakfast and my wife had a lunch dish. Both very good. Will definitely eat here again!

Food was good. Service was good. But the customer directly behind me this morning started loudly snort blowing his nose every few seconds. Then he started coughing and sneezing continuously. I didn't look back to see if he covered his mouth but it didn't sound like it and I definitely felt his cough and sneeze on the back of my neck a couple of times. meaning it probably went in to my food. that's when my wife and I pushed our unfinished plates aside. We paid our tab and left an unfinished breakfast. This was our third and last visit to this restaurant. The staff did nothing, said nothing. read more

I called and said I needed breakfast on the go I could eat on the road. Got a beautiful breakfast burrito with bacon, egg, cheese, potato, mushroom, onion and peppers. They toasted it and gave me fresh salsa on the side. So delicious and less the $8! The staff were so friendly and the restaurant was small but clean. Great place right off the interstate to stop and get something that's fast but not fast food. Will come back to try their eggs Benedict soon. read more

We love this restaurant! Great food and great service. Try the French Toast. The best in Southern Arizona (or anywhere).

I love everything there is about Mama's. It is basic surroundings with soul satisfying food. We stopped in for lunch and it was pretty packed so something had to be right with our choice. The Wife ordered breakfast while I had the special, meatloaf! I can't pass up meatloaf. This one was tender and flavorful with mashed potatoes and a red gravy of some kind. It was very good and the perfect size plate for the mostly senior customers they seem to attract. read more
