    Delicious food...fast service...friendly staff and very clean space. Makes a perfect place to have breakfast

    Mama's Signature Large Pancakes

    Came back to Mama's Restaurant; still keeping my rating for food & service. Everyone is friendly & courteous & the food is good. Today I had the chicken & waffle plate; the waffle was light & slightly crispy; the chicken tenders were fresh & the coating was well seasoned & crispy. My husband had the breakfast platter with grits, eggs, sausage, bacon & ham with a side of whole wheat toast. Our server today was Lacy, she was a real sweetheart & took good care of us. Mama's isn't fine dining, it's good ole home style cooking served with kindness & courtesy. We'll be back, I need to try the corned beef sandwich.

Girls had pancake kids meal $5.99 Babe had skillet omelette ( don't remember cost) I had chk and waffles $12.99 with coffee Total bill $40. Food was plentiful, everyone left full. Good place to check out if In the area.

    Bomb!

    I little rough around the edges but bomb food! Great customer service, packed restaurant with great vibes! Food hot, fresh and made to order. Parking right next to the restaurant, my husband enjoyed his Strawberry lemonade and my coffee was hot and the French vanilla creamer was a plus! I would definitely visit again when I come back to Detroit!

    Our amazing breakfast.

    Wow. Did I say wow? Visiting Motor City again with my lady. Had to find a non chain place to fill our hunger needs before driving up to the UP. MAMA'S it's the real deal. Staff very attentive, Tiara was amazing. She doesn't need to wear a tiara, she is a crown. Great personality and great service. Now the food. The juiciest chicken tenders on the planet. No joke. We got 5 plates of different food because I wanted the whole menu. Waffles, biscuits gravy, potato pancakes, corned beef hash. This is the best breakfast I have had in Detroit so far. And it will be hard to beat. We will be back.

    Perfect over easy eggs on country skillet.

    I thought I already reviewed this place...what?! Killer breakfast! I dream about their biscuits and gravy! I got a skillet with eggs over easy from DoorDash and the eggs were perfect HOW DID THEY DO IT? My new go to is chicken fried steak with the biscuits (and a side of gravy) but on my last visit I got buttermilk chicken tenders and waffle. Everything is so damn good I no longer have a go to just a really hard time deciding!

    This review is strictly for the limited run chicken sandwich they do every year, and all I can say…read moreis when he announces that it is the season, run, do not walk and get one. The spices, the flavors, the perfectly crisp coating, the toppings, you name it, this chicken is it. Order online and it's ready for you quickly so you can get it all over you in the car if you want. Service is always impeccable and if you choose to eat at the restaurant, it's an absolutely lovely spot.

    One of the best restaurants in Detroit and one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. This…read moreis thanks to the chef and owner Chef Omar, who is a fantastic human. The restaurant is easy to miss, located on a main road. They do have a small free parking lot. The interior is small, intimate, casual, and unpretentious. At my second visit (my first was several years ago when it first opened) my friend and I came late in the afternoon on a Friday. I'm not sure if we came at a slow time (we were initially the first customers there) or that the Chef was training a new service, but we received VIP treatment. I've occasionally had chefs check in, I've never had service from the chef before! He discussed the menu, as well as his intention for the restaurant. I love Moroccan tea, and the tea service they provide is just lovely. He is certified in tea, and incredibly knowledgeable. My friend and I started with the mudammas fava bean dip, served with pita chips. This was so fantastic I would return just for it. Creamy, just the right balance of flavor, topped with fresh veggies to add texture, I cannot say enough good things. I had the lamb tagine, and she had the kafta meatball batbout. The meatball is listed as a sandwich, it is in house made flatbread. Both dishes were amazing, so fresh and flavorful. The lamb shank was fall off the bone, the couscous was loaded with fresh vegetables. I ended up stopping in for lunch again by myself. I had the harissa potatoes and the flava bean soup, and a slice of pie that was a special. Everything again was fantastic, but it's the potatoes that you will crave after having once. Crispy and brightly flavored, soft once you bit in. I was able to try one of the Chef's teas, and hear a bit more about the restaurant. While the bread for the meatball batbout is made in house, the bread for the fish and chicken sandwiches he obtains locally. I like how engaged he, and the restaurant as a result, is with the community. Chef Omar treats all of his customers as welcomed friends. A quick note that the restaurant does not have any alcohol. They offer alcohol free wine and other beverages. Be aware of this, but do not let it deter you!

I was a bit annoyed by the people standing in front of the counter as if that was going to get them called faster. I had to go down the aisle to talk to the lady when my number was called because some dude wouldn't budge. (Not the fault of the business of course). The staff was so nice and gave me suggestions on what to try. The service was excellent. For sandwiches, we tried the Italian and prosciutto. The meats were really good. Unfortunately, the oil and herbs wasn't on my husband's sub, and I think they accidentally put mild peppers instead of hot. 3/5 I learned you come here for the baked goods!!!! I tried the tiramisu, cannoli, and got an old fashioned donut for my hubs. I had a harm time choosing what delectable sweet to take home. The tiramisu was stellar. 5/5 I wish the front had a little less wine and a seating area to have a donut and coffee. It's not that kind of place to sit down and have an espresso, but still a very cool spot. They have an online order option which I'll try next time.
