Always a great choice for breakfast and lunch. The place is really homey, and service is warm, coffee's hot and food is delicious. All the servers and managers are great, Marie is a personal favorite Can't go wrong! read more

We had a really nice experience overall. The service was friendly, and while we were quoted a 15-20 minute wait, it ended up being about 30 minutes. It wasn't ideal, but the meal made up for it. The kids loved their meals, and the portions were generous for the price. The lemonades were excellent, and the cappuccino was also good. The breakfast sandwiches were tasty, especially because the eggs were cooked really well on every order. The huevos rancheros were another standout and were very enjoyable. The only slight disappointment was the homemade biscuit, which I expected to be more memorable. It was fine, just not anything special. The muffin was also okay but didn't really stand out. Overall, this was a much better breakfast option than the typical Denny's or IHOP. We were visiting from out of town, and I'd definitely come back. It may not be an unforgettable, five-star breakfast, but it's a solid, enjoyable spot with good food, fair prices, and friendly service. read more

We have been eating here for many years. This is a great place to refuel, especially after fasting for our blood tests at nearby Holy Cross Hospital. Friendly service and great food keeps us and many other locals returning for good hot food! read more

Mom's Kitchen - Country - Diners Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This is my new favorite brunch spot in Fort Lauderdale! Service: attentive and helpful. We were served by Darcy who was quick, answered all our questions, provided great suggestions and checked up on us often. We also had constant refills from other staff Food: large portions and tasty! I got one of the omelettes and my boyfriend ordered the country fried steak. His hashbrowns could have been crispier but the flavor on everything was great. Everything was delicious. We got the biscuits grilled which was the best choice. I even liked their homemade hot sauce. I didn't love the orange juice. It was fresh squeezed but a little more sour than I would have liked. I was hoping we would have room for dessert but we were stuffed and even took portions to go. Ambiance: diner style but updated and it's a pretty large space. Everything is clean, including the bathroom. Parking is kind of tricky out front but there are ample spots around the side and back. We showed up around 1 on a Saturday and we were seated immediately. read more

My wife and I are longtime customers of Mom's Kitchen, and we're so happy they're now open for dinner Wednesday through Friday! We've always loved coming here because the food is consistently delicious, fresh, and comforting, and the service makes you feel right at home. It's one of those local restaurants you genuinely enjoy supporting. Having Mom's Kitchen open for dinner is a great addition for us as we work from home and are anxious to go out and get dinner in a safe cozy place. If you're looking for a casual dinner spot, great comfort food, friendly service, and a local neighborhood restaurant, definitely give them a try Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night. My wife and I are true customers and big fans.  Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch, and now dinner! -Danny F read more

Had dinner at Mom Kitchen and Marie was our server -- she made the whole experience. She was attentive without hovering, checked in at just the right moments, and gave genuinely helpful recommendations when we couldn't decide. Great energy the whole night, and it's clear she actually cares about the guest experience, not just running through the motions. The food was great, but Marie's service is what's bringing us back.

Mom's Kitchen - Shrimp & Grits - Diners Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Went here for the first time after a friend's strong recommendation. It's been a Fort Lauderdale-area staple for decades, but somehow I had missed coming here for breakfast! We were able to snag a parking spot in front. I am not sure if there's parking around the back, but I can imagine parking can be a little difficult at times. We were greeted warmly upon entering, and they sat us in the annex section. The room we were in can be reserved for a large parties. The decor was modern and there are several TV screens with information about the restaurant and menu. Our waitress was very attentive and told us about the menu. There are many solid breakfast staples available. I was in the mood for just eggs and pancakes, and they were both prepared well. The coffee is quite good, too. I think next time I come, I would like to try their lunch offerings. read more

Mom's Kitchen has been serving the public for over 50 years. They must be doing something right, but on my first and recent visit, I wasn't impressed enough that I need to go back. The food was fine, but not outstanding. The restaurant was clean. The hostess wasn't too welcoming and the waitstaff wasn't very friendly. That doesn't work for me. ‍ read more

I absolutely adore this place! I thought I had written a review already? I guess not! This is a beautifully constructed business with ridiculously good food and specials. They have a loyal clientele base that opens the store with them every morning 15 minutes before opening. They have Bloody Marys and homemade sangria but my favorite was the strawberry mimo set with fresh juice. There are two sections to this restaurant, you can reserve one space for private functions or corporate events, there are bathrooms in each of the spots, and they have booths or tables. There is no outside seating and there is a parking lot that fills up quickly. read more

Sad because from the looks of it I thought I found a hidden gem! I ordered a corned beef sandwich to go. The bread was burnt and over buttered, the corned beef was very limited (would guess 1/4lb or less!), and so were the fries (less than a handful). Cole slaw was ok, mayo based but not too soggy. For $20 I can go to Smoke, FatBoyz, Goldbergs, or Top Hat and do a lot better. It was quite busy on a Sunday morning but they were seating tables quickly. You enter your name at a kiosk if you want to dine in. read more

I attended a breakfast meeting at Mom's kitchen and wanted to share that they have a very nice and separate dining area for events! The breakfast was presented as a breakfast buffet with eggs, home potatoes, bacon and sausage and the most delicious biscuits I have had in a loooooong while! They were yummy. Crumbly and just fantastic! Anyway: the service was great and the event was very informative as well! Plan on returning to try some of their menu: but I'll go early because this place fills up fast!

Mom's kitchen is the best! We were looking for a restaurant to host a bi-weekly pastors' breakfast for 7 month, and found Mom's. They have a private room, with Bluetooth and tv's that can project our own content. The manager Andrew was very helpful and made sure we could host these breakfasts here, and with the amazing help of our waitress Julie they made it a success. The food is also great, and full menu to choose from. Avocado Toast my favorite!! We still have a few months to go, but shout out to Mom's Kitchen, Andrew, Julie & the cooks! read more

We went today for a birthday breakfast at Moms Kitchen in Ft. Lauderdale and if you haven't been there you're missing out. A large place to handle big crowds with attentive and friendly staff, a huge selection of food at reasonable prices and huge portions. Been around since 1972 and is a great spot for breakfast and lunch. I had a burger with bacon, egg and hash browns on a waffle and damn it was amazing. read more

Looking for a breakfast place in Ft. Lauderdale and I had a craving for some basic homegrown diner food. Mom's was it! I cannot believe how much I love small diners. These places are the epitome of America and the back bone of our food industry. I absolutely love these little diner offerings. And Mom's didn't disappoint. It's super cute inside and extremely homey. As soon as I was sat, my waitress was immediately attentive and ensured I was taken care of. I opt'd for the biscuits and gravy - to me it's always the best indicator of how the kitchen operates.. and a true test for good food. And it definitely didn't disappoint. The gravy was thick and packed with flavor, biscuits were fluffy and great. Eggs were real! Thank god! And the sausage was everything you'd expect from a diner. I absolutely loved this little spot and hope to include it in future trips. read more

Mom's Kitchen - Crab cake benedict - Diners Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Used to be great, then the meat portions got small (meatball and greek) so I started pay $4 for extra meat (menu option), a little better but still worse than they used to make. So then I stopped paying for the extra meat option and tipped the cooks asking for extra meat on the order. Even worse. They asked for feedback on the online order, I left it politely. This was just before the cook tipping strategy. So now I'm leaving a 2 star review bc I want a manager to hire back the good cooks or stop serving chinsy meat servings made for a bird. If you guys can fix that I'll change my review rating and gladly order, it's nice to have a good breakfast place available. Please give me a reason to make this review 5 stars. Thank you. Edit: I didn't ask you to post my full name on this public platform. Go ahead and take that off. Also, no one ever contacted me and I was paying 4$ extra as a menu item for extra meat, an argument which you conveniently ignored in your reply by calling my request "arbitrary". And yes one of the online ordering platforms that enables ordering from your restaurant allows tipping. Lastly, the long dash used throughout your reply is only used by ai, another sign of laziness and not taking responsibility. Edit #2: back to a 2 star rating since you took my full name off your reply, I'm a fair person read more

Great food! The Hot Chick sandwich made my day, and it was very efficiently delivered on a Sunday morning rush. We were in and out of there in 30 minutes. Service was top notch. My coffee cup kept getting filled and I was offered - and accepted - a to go cup . It was that good! Atmosphere is a very comfortable local vibe. In the 30 minutes I was there, 3 different people sat down at the counter at different points and ordered without bothering to look at the menu. In one case, the server dictated the order to the diner and he simply agreed!! Finally, the price was certainly reasonable, especially for this day and age. I will make a point of getting back here every trip to FTL from now on. read more

Lots of choices and smiling faces! You are always greeted by a welcoming person and seated promptly (unless it's peak times and you wait a short bit). Choices cover all bases. Breakfast has lots to select from and the sandwiches and salads are great for lunch. I understand they just started dinner a few nights a week. Haven't tried that yet but will get there soon. Always a good choice! read more

This is one of those places that the moment you walk in you know it's gonna be amazing. Very cute and quaint decorations that make you feel home.

Although Mom's has been around since 1972 I had just started seeing Mom's Kitchen a lot on Yelp and social media recently. I was excited when my son and I were looking for a place to eat and we happened to drive by Mom's. We arrived at 10:30 am so it was kind of in between breakfast and lunch but they still had a steady flow of customers. We opted for breakfast, I had my go-to breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, $8.00 and he had the Country Special. His meal consisted of eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and hash browns, it was a great deal for $14. The prices were very reasonable and the serving sizes plentiful. Check-in on Yelp and receive a 10% off offer. Service was attentive, pleasant and efficient. My coffee never got halfway empty before any of the servers came around to top it off. There is an awesome display of bakery items to greet you as you enter. Mom's Kitchen has an old school vibe and it seems like a lot of the diners are regulars who frequently visit to enjoy a hearty meal. There were TVs and a lot of sports memorabilia on the walls. We sat inside but they also have a patio seating area and a few tables on the sidewalk. There is street parking in front of the restaurant. Mom's is convenient to Holy Cross Hospital. I recommend Mom's Kitchen and I want to go back. read more
