    If you e ever read any of my reviews you know I LOVE hand cut, homemade fries. Mom's cafe does fries right! Food is always fresh and home cooked. Service consistently good. It's an old time cafe atmosphere and that's great! If you're in Salina or just passing through don't settle for the chains near the interstate (you will be disappointed if you do). It's two blocks into town with lots of parking and easy access. Save room for the homemade blueberry sour cream pie. It's so awesome!

    This breakfast was the worse. I took it back. Very disappointed $ 17.00 for this.  Waitress blamed it on new owners.  I wouldn't go here

    The worst.. 17.00 ordered to go i had to turn around and go back for a refund. The waitress blamed it on new owners

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Tim G.

    This is the real deal in terms of being a small cafe in a small town that's not really close to anything. But we had a very good lunch here when we stopped in during a road trip. The service was prompt and friendly, and attentive throughout our lunch. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, which was good. The menu said the chicken would be breaded, but I just got grilled chicken. Still, the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The sauce wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but still good. My wife had the Chef's Salad, which was a bit on the small side so I would think of it as more of an appetizer or side dish rather than a meal. Ingredients were really good though. I was also tempted (successfully) by the Apple Pie, which was one of several pies on display at the diner counter. It was very tasty, though slightly dry. We were happy with our lunch and with the service. It felt like a place that's been there forever, with many of the employees having been there forever. I'm sure it is a favorite with the locals, and we enjoyed being welcomed for a good lunch in a small town as we made our way across Utah.

    We loved this soup. I think we ordered 3 cups of it!! I was also just so happy to see fry sauce back on the table, I had to take a picture of it. Service was pretty good, and the cafe makes you feel like you take a step back in time. We will definitely be stopping again when traveling from California to Utah.

    A decent choice for out of towers for dinner. It was close to our Air B&B which was convenient. The welcome greeting was warm and friendly. We got to choose our own table. There are two rooms you can dine in. The back room was unoccupied so we walked through the doorway to the front. It soon filled up and bigger groups sat in the other room. Definitely the minority I'm glad we got some friendly smiles. They serve a very nice delicious appetizing plated salad that comes with your meal. The person who made the salad had each ingredient compartmentalized in a circular pattern around the plate; beets, peas, cheese, lettuce, etc. The dressing was good too. They had several cakes on the counter but with COVID still present and guests and employees not wearing masks, it seemed unusual for the cakes to be out on the counter uncovered. The cookies looked fantastic and were covered so two left with us to be eaten the next day as we continued on our road trip. Doc had trout, hubs had hamburger steak and I had veal. I was kind of disappointed it seemed like a processed patty rather than a thin flat piece of breaded veal that I've had before. They ran out of baked potatoes so one of us took mashed potato and I took wild rice which sorry but tasted like boxed rice pilaf. My cut green beans tasted like canned beans. I chucked it up to my memory of veal cutlet decades ago was a good one.

    It's always fun to visit places that still serve full meals. This place was great in that you get soup or salad, a scone (which is like fry bread) and your entree. Pros: -good, balanced meal -their scone came out fresh and warm- it was my favorite item I ate -great vintage atmosphere Cons: -I wish they had a cover over their cake. They looked so good but were not covered with a lid. Other: -you get to seat yourself -parking is available in the back of their business

    Pancake the has the best flavor! I didn't even use syrup!! Tasted like real butter?!

    The service was great, although we didn't catch our servers name! Food was delicious and all plates were cleared, with the exception of the scone. We set out on a rainy day for my mom's birthday. She was satisfied!

    Salina is a small town in the middle of nowhere, on the way out of Utah onto America's lonely highway 50 in Nevada. We picked Mom's because we were hungry and there weren't 100 choices. Well they didn't disappoint. Standard lunch menu, normal American foods, decent service, decent food, decent prices. Interesting town, there was a German prisoner of war camp here in the second world war where a massacre happened. Look it up if you're a history buff!

    The chicken fried steak was great, but the milk was over priced. If you're in Salina, stop in and say hello. Friendly people, good place.

Primarily looking…read morefor a place to eat we stopped by on our trip from the Red Rock country of Southern I Utah to Salt Lake City. The bar is a bit off the I-70 freeway, but not too far. It is spacious inside with large tables and a friendly, welcoming staff. I had a margarita with my lunch; only one though because I was driving. It wasn't strong but was tasty enough. The beers are mostly domestic with only one micro brew selection but there were plenty of national brand choices. The food was home made and not bad for bar food. I had a Pittsburgh cheese steak sandwich that I thought was good. I ordered it with a side salad instead of fries as I had also ordered the loaded Pastrami fries which came with cheese, pickles and mustard on top. It was a bit too rich and heavy for my taste and the flavors didn't really work well together. Maybe without the mustard I would have liked it more. Not a bad place for a rest stop or a reasonable local hang out as well with some decent food.

    I've been twice now- both times ended up here for an overnight stay in Richfield. It's a dive bar…read morebut super clean and spacious. Simple food menu, basic beers and cocktails. The cheesesteak was alright. It was nothing to complain about or write home about. The jojo fries were kinda undercooked but good and seemed homemade almost. Attentive service, not overbearing. A lot of locals since Richfield isn't exactly a destination but you'll get the same treatment and be just as welcome.

    The short Yes, now…read morethis is what I like to call hidden gem. The onion rings were fantastic and they had an absolute huge butter cake. The service was nice as well. The Longer We stopped by this place on our way back from St. George for lunch. As soon as I stepped in, I felt very homey and cozy. I will say this felt like one of those diners you seen a TV show where everybody in the local area goes there in orders good food. I ended up ordering the French dip with fries and it was OK. It was not something that I would pick first on my next go around. But I did get to try the burger that they had and it was pretty good though to my surprise my favorite item that I got to try was the onion rings. They were actually pretty amazing, it has been a little while since I've had onion rings taste that good At the end of our lunch, we ended up getting a butter cake, which ended up being pretty good. I will warn you that it is definitely too big for one person and that you probably need a few semi-hungry individuals to take it down. I will say that the spot is not somewhere that you should avoid if you're driving through Beaver. 3.75/5
