Mom's Grill - Our fresh baked def loaded bacon egg and cheese biscuits!! Yum!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, North Carolina

The biscuits are HUGE; the size of a man's fist. The cheese in them is a huge chunk of melted cheese (cheddar, I think) and they are fluffy and delicious! This place is literally inside a currently operating convenience store but it has 4 little booths to sit in after you order. There is no menu posted but just ask the nice lady (big Cowboys fan) behind the counter as there's a lot of items to pick from: sausage, ham, bacon, eggs, pork chop, etc. You pay at the register of the convenience store and those people are just as friendly and nice. read more

Title: A Contender for the Crown: Mom's Grill is a Must-Try! Rating: Living in Washington, you learn pretty quickly that we take our burgers seriously. After my latest visit to Mom's Grill, I can confidently say the local leaderboard has been shaken up! I ordered the Original Cheeseburger "All the Way" (chili, onions, and mustard), and it was an absolute knockout. Here is the breakdown: The Burger Breakdown * The Patty: The first thing you'll notice is the size. The beef portion here is substantial--it's noticeably larger and heartier than the patties at Dairy Palace or King Chicken. * The Build: They've mastered the "Meat-to-Bun" ratio. Even with the chili and mustard, the bun holds up, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. It's a messy, delicious, classic NC burger. * The Verdict: This is easily the best burger I've had in a long time. It's simple, nostalgic, and incredibly satisfying. My Official Washington, NC Burger Rankings: * La Vaquita Mexican Grill: Still the reigning champ. These are the "supermodels" of burgers--huge, juicy, and incredibly photogenic. * Mom's Grill: A very close runner-up. If you want that classic, hometown cheeseburger flavor with a superior meat portion, this is the spot. * King Chicken: The perfect "hand-sized" burger. It's a total throwback to the old-school drive-in days. * Dairy Palace: A timeless local staple. It's a great burger, though I personally think both DP and King Chicken could reach that next level if they upgraded their beef patties to match the quality of Mom's or La Vaquita. Pro Tip: If you're a fan of a heavy meat portion and classic toppings, don't sleep on Mom's Grill. It's officially in my Top 5! Would you like me to generate a catchy caption for you to use when you post those photos on Instagram or Facebook? read more

The flakiest, cheesiest biscuit I've ever had. Mom's Cafe is in a convience store, but the sign is easy to see while driving. Definitely stop by if you're in Little Washington, or even visiting the rest of Beaufort County. read more

Homemade cheese biscuits, crafted with care and love. I stop by every time I'm down in Little Washington to pick one up. Service is quick and it's all in an old gas station, nothing fancy, but it need not be fancy. Just give me more biscuits! 10 stars! read more

Mom's Grill - Mom's Grill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, North Carolina

I stumbled along this place just passing through. I happen to be scrolling through Yelp looking for breakfast somewhere. I was road tripping but unfortunately they were not a lot of great reviews for places along these country roads. As they drove by this place caught my attention and I wanted to see just outta curiosity what reviews were written. To my surprise this place is a big deal for their biscuits. I made a U turn, parked and went inside. Yes this is an old repurchased gas station/grocery store/stopping point for locals to buy lottery tickets and beer. I told the lady behind the counter people are talking about how good the biscuits are and she said try one you will see. I had missed the breakfast rush by a couple of hours and they still had a few biscuits on hand. She added a slice of ham to this buttery, cheesy biscuit. The photos just don't do this buiscuit justice! This was a good biscuit, she offered me a second but I really didn't have room, it was filling. Biscuits are a big deal and I really enjoyed it. If I have the chance to pass through in the future I will definitely stop off. Unfortunately for me it's not very easy to get too because it's off the major highways connecting Virginia and North Carolina. read more

Great service. Wow, the sausage biscuits are amazing, gotta get there early before they sell out!

New to this area and man does this place live up to the hype! This could very well be the best biscuit I've ever had, it was definitely the best bacon egg & cheese biscuit sandwich ever. This spot is tiny, and gets pretty crowded (at least on Sunday morning when we went). Also, some of the nicest ladies working there too which is an added bonus. Its deliciously greasy and huge, so definitely not something you can eat every day but worth the caloric and cholesterol splurge every now and then. I almost can't wait for my next hangover, I know just where to go for the cure! read more

This was the best cheese biscuit I've ever had. The owner is at the grill hand packing the biscuits. And the GRITS! So good! Yes, it's in an old converted gas station and mini mart. Get it to go. You'll be glad you did. read more

The cooking staff are excellent plus. Great food. Lovely ladies. Arrived Monday morning. Standing at the door. 6 am and the girl sits 2 ft from the door. Doesn't open the door. 6:02. Doesn't open the door. One crap employee ruins the whole experience. I went to kings chicken for my breakfast. read more

Went to Mom's this morning to grab some breakfast. This place is nothing to write home about. It is an old gas station converted into a small store/cafe'. Mostly set up for take away but they do have a few tables for indoor seating. The breakfast is comparable to other places in town but what sets it apart is the cheesy biscuits. It was one of the best I've had. I would recommend giving this place a try just for the biscuits. read more

Sometimes when you read about or hear about an iconic "hole-in-the-wall" eating establishment, you just know that it's only a matter of time before you show up there - so it was with Mom's. We were in the area last week for a forgettable night in Greenville, and decide to try for a foodie save by sliding down to "little" Washington for a trifecta of non-fine dining - Mom's, Bills, & King's - all the artery clogging food groups within a 3 miles radius! Mom's is a very small, very dated grill in a weary looking convenience store, and it is renown for its biscuits - especially its Cheese Biscuits, an Eastern NC regional favorite - though the concept has drifted west as far as Chapel Hill (Time Out, Sunrise), and probably farther! The ordering flow here is more than a little chaotic, no orderly line, no rhyme or reason, all orders are given verbally, and transmitted verbally to a largely unseen kitchen group, and called out verbally when ready- so remember what you ordered!. You pay at the front counter, where a little more confusion is inevitable. You take your score outside, there is no seating. We ordered a plain biscuit, a Cheese Biscuit, and a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit, and the order was delivered intact. I had been aware that some found the Cheese Biscuit more than a little heavy on the cheese, and this was a bit of an understatement - the cheese crushed the biscuit, a bite or two was plenty - acquired taste I'd guess! The Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit was huge, greasy, and delicious - but even here I'd ask them to go lite on the cheese - and you're eating in your car more than likely, so cover your front. The plain biscuit was excellent, simply adorned with packaged jelly and a form of butter. Enjoyed the experience, but a repeat does seem likely! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and cheese biscuits! Made fresh to order every time. Love this place and the sweet ladies that run the grill. read more

Stay away. I want this place all to myself, so maybe I should have left a terrible review. Place is awesome. Didn't know that a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit could be that much better than what you typically find. Man, was I wrong. I have seen the biscuit light. Sad thing is, I'm not sure if I will ever appreciate other bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits after a stop at this establishment. The bar was set, and very high at that. PS, super friendly staff--so another bonus! read more

I ordered a chicken biscuit, and it was definitely a frozen, precooked, breaded chicken patty. I don't think they cook the biscuits from scratch either. I don't love it, but frozen food sometimes hit the spot read more

Stop get a biisguiiit and compare to anywhere. Photos are of bacon 2 egg and cheese. It is takeaway and I had to walk the dog before I could eat it I think the cheese is very mild cheddar. Yes it was good. Yes I will return n eat one warm.. located up from Frank's. read more

Mom's Grill - Home cooking take out. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, North Carolina

Everyone in Washington knows that Mom's Grill has the BEST cheese biscuits. Every other restaurant just tries and fails.

Grand Rivers Michigan. Visiting family here for holidays. Visited for the first time Sunday. 1/5/2025. Establishment was very busy. Waited approximately 15 minutes for cheese biscuits everyone raved about. While waiting I observed a worker with tattoos on her arms come out from the kitchen. When she came back she had on a uniform for another establishment. She greeted everyone when she came from behind the counter and when she came back she was more gracious than before smiling and talking encouraging customers to wait and it wouldnt be much longer. She was leaving and turned to say something to the woman still working. Her name is Denise. I made it a point to find out names after she yelled and viciously verbally attacked her in front of anyone who was there to see and hear it. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Donna the lady with the tattoos on her arms didnt say anything. She did look at everyone and just walked out. She looked so defeated. Just watching to see what she would do. She walked outside to her car. My wife approached her outside. She asked her why she would work in such an abusive environment. With tears in her eyes she said she wasnt a quitter her boss is off and its different when she is there. My wife hugged her. I hugged her. We encouraged her and tipped her. Im leaving 1/12/2025 and I never got those cheese biscuits because we didnt wait anymore we left the store. Cheese biscuits were mentioned this morning to take home and I vetoed the idea. The experience is too fresh and Im not happy to see anyone abused. Me and my wife are fans of Donna at Moms Grill. We will come back looking for her in the future and maybe we will try one then. read more

Amazing biscuits! Worth a detour if you are anywhere near this down home place. Best ever!

I understood that this an old gas station , but this IS a gas station minus the pumps. I was caught off guard. It is a convenience store that has a small grill. The first person we encountered was the friendliest person in the world. We placed our order and took the food home. We ordered cheese biscuits and biscuits with cheese and bacon. WOW! The biscuits were amazing. They were delicious. I'm glad that we went. read more

The cheese biscuits was good. However, the ball of cheese in the middle was not completely melted down. When I went I ordered and the lady put something different then what I said. I thought maybe it was another customer order so finally she asked me what I get. I begin to tell her and she cut me off and said she done called that several times. I allowed her to finish and explain I ordered a little different then what she called. The lady was a little snappy. Chances of me returning is slim. I wish the business nothing but the best. read more

The best biscuits I have ever had in my life. My family and I were in town and stopped by this little shop before we headed back home. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! We got the bacon egg and cheese biscuits and we wished we would've taken some for the road! The biscuits are homemade and let me tell you...you can sure taste the love . We will be back next year when we are in town! read more

I love their cheese biscuits. When my parents lived in WV (where I grew up) there was this chain called Tudor's Biscuit World, and their theme song went "Tudor's Biscuit World... it's just like coming home," and being the snarky child that I am I would always sing, "Tudor's Biscuit World; the reason for coming home." Mom's cheese biscuit, I won't say have replaced Tudor's because there I got the potato biscuit, but it's serving a very similar function, i.e. making me willing to drive 8 hours to see my parents. Thus, I say come here. Yes, it's a bit unorganized inside, but I'll deal with it for the biscuits. read more

Good sausage breakfast sandwich! I'm camping it out so any home cooked meals I can find I'll pick right up. Thanks! Coffee is good too read more

Small grill inside the gas station. Mama makes biscuits from scratch every day. Apparently the restaurant inside a gas station is common in the area. I've had the biscuit with egg and a biscuit with egg and cheese. The cheese is a bit overwhelming. Optional ham on biscuits too. About 5 tables so decent seating area. Bread pudding here is amazing! She uses leftover biscuits and adds yummies including peaches and raisins. A must try!! read more

The food? I'd give a solid 4-4.5 stars. If you order a cheese biscuit, you're guaranteed to get half a block of cheese on that biscuit. Extra napkins are absolutely necessary. The hours? Still have quite figured them out and this was my third time going back. Menu & hours are hand written above the grill, and a bit hard to read. The location? Sketch. Not someplace that you would ever look at and say "oh that looks really nice", more so someplace you'd look at and wonder if there is a health code violation... or 10. Does this stop me from eating here? Nope. But does it cross my mind? Definitely. read more

"Don't judge a book by its cover." A statement many of us have heard for years. This is one of those places. I took a friend's advice and stopped in this morning for a couple of biscuits for my wife and myself......growing up in the country in eastern NC, I had 2 grandmothers that knew how to cook, and cook good. Both made cathead biscuits. With lard. And they each taught me how, so I know a good biscuit. These biscuits, folks, are as good as you'll find at any family reunion, church homecoming, or post-funeral celebration meal. I got two bacon, egg and cheddar cheese that were as good as any I have ever eaten. There's a place in Wilson, NC called Flo's Kitchen (some of you may be familiar with it) that I think has the best restaurant baked catheads you will find. This place is now 1-A, just below the same level as Flo's. Mom's is strictly carry out, but plan to either eat it before you drive off, or when you arrive at your destination, because if you try to eat it while driving you will: 1 - need an apron and gloves; and 2 - spill most of it out before you can get it in your mouth. Trust me, you don't want to lose any of this goodness anywhere in the car. I also saw link pork sausage, and what I thought was smoked sausage as well. Sadly, no tenderloin, thus its 1-A ranking just below Flo's. Do not pass this place by if you are in need of a biscuit fix. I arrived about 8:30 am to a packed parking lot. When I left, folks were still piling in. This is a destination spot for breakfast biscuits if you are within 30 miles of the place. read more

Mom's Grille is the first "institution" in Washington that didn't leave me cold. We'll get the cheese biscuit with prettym much anything and they're always rich, cheesy, and huge. You can practically feel your arteries clogging when you look at those things. I'll usually hit it at a slightly later hour when the main crowd has dissipated, but there's still plenty of food available. read more

We saw this place on the news as the states best biscuit so me and the wife took an hour and a half ride to see for ourselves. It is a hole in the wall that you would never think had biscuits like this! Cheese is squirting out every bite(this is a good thing in case you were wondering). There smoked sausage is great and large. Plenty of bacon on the bec. It was well worth the drive and reasonably priced we got 4 biscuits for $15 and the second biscuit will have to be for lunch. IT IS BY FAR THE BEST BISCUIT IVE EVER HAD FROM A RESTAURANT. if youre ever in little Washington nc check it out you wont be disappointed read more

Their cheese biscuits and bacon egg and cheese biscuits are immaculate it really tastes like home-style cooking but at the same time, you are out to eat.
