OMG soooooooo good! I had never been there before and am so glad I stopped in. I was taken care of by Lilly and she was delightful. Knew the menu, kept my drink full, and was the right amount of attentive. I had the Smokey Skillet and it was good. It had a good taste, but after adding some hot sauce to it, it was perfect. I know the food needs to be cooked to,appeal to everyone, but I'd like a bit more seasoning or spice. I'll be back. read more

We were on our way to our summer vacation when we spotted this diner and decided to stop in. The service was top-notch and our waitress was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The diner had that classic, old-school charm that made it feel like it had been there for decades. The prices were surprisingly so low and we were amazed by how generous the portions were. Food was delicious! read more

We have been coming to Martha's for close to 10 years and it is always great. But today we had a perfect breakfast. Food came out to the table all at once, everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the fried pork on special, I get the Southern Omelet, and our daughter had a handheld egg and bacon sandwich. It's great to see Martha's just get better and better!! See you soon. read more

Good food, great service. Always have something different and good on their specials menu.

What a great find! Went there today based on reviews and can honestly say they were spot on. I had the turkey and ham club with onion rings and they were delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

Definitely an old School mom & pop Diner, but still worth a stop in! The inside reminded me of a diner I went to as a kid, metal interior. The food was spot on the strawberry French toast was delicious with rice crispy Crunch on the outside to give it a nice texture. It came with eggs and sausage Pattie's that were good too. The cinnamon roll pancakes came out as a castle that was super nice and they are moist on the inside from the whipped cream. The fried okra had a great corn meal breading and each bite was delicious Overall it was a good meal read more

First time visitor. And, we were not disappointed! Arrived around 10:20am on Saturday and sat down immediately. By 11am, folks were waiting for tables to empty. True diner vibe. We wanted breakfast (served all day) and didn't even look at the rest of the menu. However, we our neighbors' fresh fried okra arrived on their table we had to order some too. It was delish! Service was friendly and our waitress was attentive. Food prep time was reasonable considering the restaurant was almost full. Be advised that they charge a convenience fee for credit card charges. I'm sure we will be back! read more

Pretty decent place for breakfast and lunch. Recently changed hands of ownership, but still consistently good. Can be a bit too noisy at times but hey, it's basically a diner. All the breakfast items are crave-able. I like the gyro or treek salad for lunch. Parking can be dicey at times when they are busy. read more

Yet another five star experience! Man, we freakin' love this place. It's homie, the people are friendly, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are GENEROUS. Had the Hillbilly Skillet and it was just as delicious as the Meat Lover's last time. Also tasted their garlic Parmesan wings. Very tasty! Good crunch to them. Service was attentive and friendly. The other patrons were kind and happy. We just love the road side diner vibe here. Brought a friend and we'll probably be bringing even more! read more

We went back to try their AYCE ribs tonight. The service was just as amazing as our previous visit. I must say that while they weren't actually my kind of ribs (I like smoked ribs and their ribs seemed like they are cooked in a slow cooker) but they did not taste bad. They were VERY tender and you get about 6 decent sized ribs for your first plate. They were AYCE but none of us ordered any reorders because it was so much food. I came on here to add a pic because I couldn't find a pic of their ribs anywhere before visiting tonight. :) read more

3.5 Stars. We were in the area at lunchtime, and didn't have many options, so we decided to try Martha's. It's a diner-type place with an eclectic menu, decent food, and friendly, efficient service. We chose to order off the menu, although there was also a lunch buffet for $13. I went with the cheesesteak sandwich and their homemade onion rings. Food did take some time; I got the impression that the kitchen was backed up because all the servers were standing near the food window waiting on their orders. My sandwich was okay; the meat was a little chewy, but the bread was soft and fresh. The onion rings were great, if a little greasy. My friends' food took a little longer to come out. The tuna sub was packed with tuna and looked good, but the seafood lunch plate was a little skimpy and sad looking. Tables are packed very close together, plus if you are seated near the buffet, you might get a little warm. You pay at the little booth next to the front door. Plenty of parking was available next to and in front of the restaurant. I'd like to return for breakfast, because at a place like this I'm sure it would shine. read more

I got the famous Hillbilly skillet..This needs to be on Man vs. Food cuz sooo much food. customer service on point!! even the local customers were conversational....Ohhh almost forgot, the burgers...they looked meaty, my son would not share, so that was a good sign. read more

This was our second visit to Martha's. This time we got breakfast on a Sunday morning. This low-key home cookin restaurant was packed and it's worth the wait. We got here closer to 11 am on Sunday. People were waiting outside and the parking lot required some creativity. It was make your own space at this point. We got our name on the list and waited out front with everyone else. At least 45 minutes. At one point, we were told they stopped bringing in people so the kitchen could catch up on orders. Finally, we were seated. The place had quieted down a bit now. Our next dilemma was, breakfast or lunch? It's now past noon. Everyone stuck with breakfast on this trip. Our server was around quickly and got us drinks. She was friendly, kind and welcoming just like our server from last time. For breakfast, I ordered the Hillbilly benedict. My wife ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes. Also ordered at the table was the meat lovers skillet. The food took a little while but wasn't too bad. By the time it arrived, we were good and hungry. My Hillbilly benedict was fantastic. A huge serving of soft, buttery biscuits, covered in a savory, peppery, sausage gravy. Layered in between was two sausage patties. This covered my love of benedicts and my love of biscuits and gravy. Adorned over the top were scrambled eggs. On the side, home fries. Everything was perfect. The home fries were real chunks of crispy potatoes. Seasoned well and soft on the inside. I'd order this again if I didn't want to try other things on the menu. My wife ordered the Cinnamon roll pancakes. These had a great presentation. They were cut and rolled up like cinnamon rolls. Drizzled with a sweet glaze and popped with cinnamon flavor. These were excellent. On the side, my wife also had eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything cooked well. Hot, fresh, and top quality. Our family at the other end of the table had the task of tackling the meat lover's skillets. This huge pile of meat and potatoes looked like a dream and lives up to its name. They did good work and had plenty left over for a meal the next day. You cannot go wrong with Martha's. Their service is great. The food is comforting, delectable, and ample. I can completely understand people waiting outside to get a table and it's well worth it. I'd wait again too. Check this place out but you'll be in line behind me. read more

Great local lunch place. Good burger and REALLY good onion rings. Enjoyed our meal and would visit again.

Thank goodness for Yelp, without it we would have never found Martha's Family Restaurant. After a great weekend in Tampa my husband and I were driving home and wanted to stop for breakfast. Martha's was a great find. The staff was friendly and very efficient. The menu offered several great options and the daily specials were outstanding. This hometown southern dinner is must visit when in town. Obviously a favorite spot for locals. We will go out of our way to dine at Martha's in the future. read more

Good flavored, seasoned, well-cooked & tasty food. Seating available per customer choice is plentiful and comfortable, dependent on arrival time. Arrived approximately 1130a, it appears to be a local favorite as parking and seating filled up within a short time. Intended goal was supposed to be catfish but after discussion with Alicia, selected the Thursday Special "Alice springs chicken" as it is not always offered. Good choice. Chicken is cooked and well seasoned, smothered beneath a flavorful combination of Monterey jack cheese, bacon, mushrooms & honey mustard dressing which worked well, complemented the dish. For the two sides, in addition to the freshly made salad, selected corn chowder soup (delicious), mashed potatoes with gravy. Potatoes were real potatoes - small potato chunks still intact and beneath the gravy was flavorful. Portion-wise, the meal is presented for hearty appetites. As Alicia explained "this is what they do." I had to get half of the meal to go. Wasn't a problem though, some customers did the same (i.e., provided to go containers, whatever they ordered). Martha's customers filed in steadily, no one had to wait for seating but suspect it can change. Other than the menu, refreshments & refills and the service was provided in good time. Hot food arrived comfortably warm. Support staff is helpful and work as a team. This was a good trip and well worth cost for the meal. Location is on south side of Hwy 92 west of Parsons Ave. Based on this experience, expect a second visit is necessary to sample the catfish filet. read more

The service was friendly and casual. We felt very welcomed. The catfish was delicious both in the platter and the sandwich. It had excellent fresh flavor and crunch. Additionally, the fresh, crispy veggies added the perfect complement to the soft bread and crisp-coated fish. We do recommended stopping for a home-cooking experience. Prices are fair, too. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure you allow time to dine. The service was slow due to understaffing problems. This may be resolved in the near future, so I would not let it affect my rating. (We waited 35 minutes for food.) read more

Home fries are so good and fruit bowl was fresh. Lots of locals here so it's got to be a good breakfast place. Food and service were great! I would recommend if you're traveling and want diner experience with great food and coffee. read more

Ended up in Tampa with my best friend. We were staying nearby for a concert. I ended up finding this place and tried it out. I am glad I did, because it is one of the best breakfast places. It might look like a dive, but it is a wholesome small breakfast place. The food is freshly made and delicious. The energy of this place is very family friendly. The service was great. I ordered the grill catfish sandwich with a side of onion rings and sweet tea. My friend ordered the pumpkin spice french toast platter with egg, bacon, and hash. I loved the catfish. It was grilled to perfection. I also liked the onion rings. My friend enjoyed her pumpkin spice french toast, she said it was just the "right amount of sweetness." Overall, I hope I can stop by here again. I am out of state, so I will try my best to fly back and visit my friend. read more

Great food. Great service. Doesn't get any better. Anytime in the Tampa area I will make a point to be there.

The place was a decent place for breakfast around this area. The French toast came with a twist as they include Pops cereal with their batter. If gives it a nice crunch. I actually thought the outside (corners of the toast) of the French toast was better than the inside cheese filled portion. Again, there seems not too many places for breakfast around this area. read more

I don't typically leave reviews for places that I didn't actually dine-in at (the only reason for 4 stars is because I haven't been to this restaurant physically), but we ordered breakfast from Martha's for our office, went and picked it up and everyone was so satisfied and happy with the quality and quantity of food, that I had to leave a review. The food comes in normal to-go containers, it isn't fancy or thoughtfully plated - but the food and sheer amount of food was incredible. I don't think anyone cared about the presentation when the food was that delicious! If you're looking for a hearty breakfast and don't want to go to a place that might skimp on the amount of food, this is it! We will definitely be ordering our team breakfasts from here again. read more
