Aqeel R.

Very nice place. I like the TV mom decors. I had the shrimp and grits and they didn't disappoint. Also, our server made sure my hot chocolate had plenty of whipped cream. She even brought me a second dish full of it.

Watermelon Sugar High Cocktail
Chloe L.

The food was great, the portions were huge, and the staff was super friendly! The atmosphere was also really cool and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot!

-Pancake Burrito -Chicken and Bacon Waffle
Laura D.

Classic diner-style breakfast with a cozy, comfort food feel. The chicken and waffles were good, though nothing particularly unique. I wasn't a huge fan of the maple syrup or the béchamel sauce, but the dish was still enjoyable. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Coffee options are limited to hot brewed coffee or cold brew, so nothing special, but it gets the job done. I went for Sunday brunch, and while it was busy, the wait was short and we were in and out pretty quickly.

Indoor seating and decor
Michael M.

My wife and I were walking around and stumbled upon this establishment. We only stopped for drinks and did not try any food. Although the food menu looked good. I had the nutcracker, which is a nostalgic drink for me. Between the music, the drinks, the decor, the atmosphere and the service, everything was phenomenal. We found ourselves singing along to old songs from the early 2000s that we used to love and had not heard in years. Such a great place and I love the old school vibes. I plan to return again to try the food next time!

Breakfast Sandwich
Zoe W.

Mom's is such a great brunch spot! Not only is it super cute inside, but the menu is unique and everything we tried was delicious! I ordered the most basic nyc dish, a breakfast sandwich - and it did not disappoint. It came on a bagel with a side of home fries that truly hit the spot. My friend got the chicken and bacon waffles and loved them just as much. The prices were very reasonable, and our server was attentive and helpful throughout. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

-Mac and Cheese Pancakes
Meri L.

Stopped by here with my fiancé and family and had a really fun brunch experience. We tried a handful of their cocktails; the Bacon Mary, Brew's Clues, Watermelon Sugar High, and Hot Girl Fall. Everyone at the table enjoyed their drinks. For food, we ordered the chicken and waffles, Bedrock pancakes, and the Mac and Cheese pancakes. The chicken and waffles were just okay for me. Not bad by any means, but not something I'd personally order again. The Cholula honey served on the side was a great touch, though, and added a nice kick. The surprise standout of the meal was definitely the Mac and Cheese pancakes. It sounds a little odd, but trust me, it works. The flavor combo is unique, comforting, and honestly delicious. Totally worth trying! Service was decent; a side of bacon was forgotten at first but eventually brought out without much hassle. Overall, a solid and memorable brunch spot with creative dishes and fun drinks. I'd happily come back, especially for those mac and cheese pancakes!

Great egg sandwich on an everything brioche bun. Great veggie burger too. Strong drinks. We loved our waitress, she was from Kentucky. Super cute and sweet and friendly and warned me about the hot sauce and suggested that I get it on the side. She saved my dish! Thank you and we will be back!

Jessica R.

NOM NOM NOM!! This spot was absolutely delicious! Open early for breakfast, so much variety, large portions. My new favorite breakfast spot. Pro Tip! Get something savory alongside the sweet breakfast

Cinnamon Roll
Claire H.

Um yum!!!! Food: Cinnamon roll was so good! And it was in a hot pan just warmed up! And the icing just oozed and felt yummy and warm! Perfect for winter! Also the scrambled eggs were good :) Service: Quick! Friendly! Ambiance: love the fall decor!!! It was so cute inside and they were showing a movie on the TVs. Also the bathrooms were clean!

I have passed by here many times and either it's been crowded or I was not hungry. It is located in the hells kitchen area, also near by to many theaters. Came here on a weekday morning and I pretty much had the place to myself. There were like 2-3 other people there. When you walk in it's well now decorated for St.Patricks day. They have a few tvs playing movies I think Mama Mia was playing when I was there. I had seen on social media their pancakes with fruity pebbles and I wanted to try them out. I got that and a side of scrambled eggs. The pancakes were huge and had to take the rest home. They were good! Eggs were fine, nothing special. Could be a fun place for groups to come for brunch or drinks. I would come back here and try other fun takes on food they have on menu.

-Crispy Chicken and Gravy
Kathie H.

This was a great and super chill place to eat dinner and work on our taxes haha! They let us use our laptops and the wifi. The food was great, milkshake was insane, and waitress was super nice. They were playing good music and something entertaining on the tv. It's a big space so great chill diner vibes.

-Chicken and Bacon Waffle with a Mom-osa!
Brie R.

The perfect brunch spot! On the corner of a busy street and a car-less one, you have Mom's Kitchen. They're small inside, maybe 8 small tables, but they have a large outdoor dining area as well. The drinks are fun, the food is funky and delicious! From a pancake burrito to cinnamon toast French toast, they have all kinds of breakfast options. Leaning more towards lunch? No problem, they've got sweet sandwiches like a short rib melt to die for. Vegan? No sweat! Beyond veggie friendly breakfast they also carry a vegan fried chicken sandwich, given 5 stars by my husband! I also have to mention their INSANE chicken and bacon waffle, it's a must try! The servers are friendly, and you don't feel rushed. I noticed they also do trivia nights, which they list on their website. I'll definitely be back a third time when I'm feeling brunchy.

-Fried Chicken Sandwich
Lulu T.

The food was very mediocre. Fried chicken sandwich was dry, not much flavor, the cold slaw, were big pieces of cabbage chopped up, decent flavor. I added cheese to mine which didn't help with a more flavorful sandwich. Seemed like the chicken was sitting under a heat lamp? Fries were good. Steak was decent, eggs were watery. The drinks were watery imo. Chicken wings were fried a little too hard and the flavor was supposed to be Korean BBQ, I got none of that flavor profile. The food came out after a few minutes of ordering. Which leads me to believe a lot of what we ordered was premade, sitting under a heated lamp? Our server was fast and nice, but we got a few different servers/waiters. The place is clean, the bathrooms were clean. The food wasn't terrible but nothing to write home about.

Do they ever offer bottomless mimosas?

Hi Christiana, Thanks for your interest in dining at Mom's!…

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing.

Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after.

Arrived Thursday for lunch around 12:45pm to find plenty of tables available without a reservation…read more I was given a table to enjoy before my second guest arrived so I could settle in and place an order in advance. Booths were available just beyond table and chair seating. Love the wood and leather finishes and soft lighting choices that create a subdued atmosphere even mid-day. I was given a lunch/dinner menu and a Lunch Special prix fixe that offered an appetizer and entree for $25. The spicy carrot hummus was recommended and didn't disappoint as well as the grilled chicken sandwich w/ bbq sauce on a buttered pretzel bun. Everything was fresh and excellent and I would order it all again. Noticed the happy hour at the bar is a pretty sweet deal as well with $8 wine, $6 beer, and $10 bites.

The breakfast items that I ordered were fast to make, with good service. I was able to get the omelette without the ham. The vegetarian omelette was thick and fluffy, with a good amount of sliced portobello mushrooms and spinach. It came with a side of market salad (leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, carrot, radish, cucumber), making it a great low-carb & high-protein breakfast option. The fruits platter was also excellent - came with a good amount of various sliced fruits (cantaloupe, honeydew, orange, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries) that were all very fresh. The milk, however tasted thick and a bit bitter. Not sure if they gave me homogenized milk (3.25%) or the milk was starting to turn bad. Unfortunately I couldn't drink it.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
