We had just gotten off a cruise and wanted to try some local cooking while we were in the area, so when my husband found Mom's Kitchen on Yelp, we knew we had to stop! We absolutely love breakfast, so this was right up our alley. There isn't a ton of parking, but we found a spot without any trouble. We were seated right away, and that's when we met Darcy, our waitress! This lady was genuinely one of the nicest and sweetest servers we've had in a while, and she is wicked good at her job! I ordered two sunny-side up eggs, bacon, raisin toast, and chunky hash browns, and everything was cooked with that true "Mom love" you hope for when you go to a place called Mom's Kitchen. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. We also shared a couple of mimosas and really enjoyed relaxing on land for a bit before our long drive home. The bathroom was clean, and there was so much neat memorabilia around the restaurant. I honestly wish I had remembered to bring my phone with me because I would have loved to take pictures of all the little details! Overall, we highly recommend Mom's Kitchen if you're looking for friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and that comforting, homemade breakfast that tastes like it was made by a mom away from home. And if you get Darcy as your waitress, you're in for a treat! She was absolutely wonderful! read more

I had an early breakfast at Mom's Diner based on the rave reviews on Yelp. The ambiance is that of a typical NJ diner, which reminded me of my native state and made me miss it! The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the California omelette, which came with a side of home fries. While waiting for the food the cook advised the server that they don't have any avocado, a key ingredient. They asked if I wanted another filling instead and I said no. When the food arrived the plate looked a mess, as exhibited by my photo attachment. The omelette looked more like a scramble. The coffee was nice and strong. The eggs were fluffy and good but there wasn't much cheese. The hash browns were dry and flavorless. The server felt bad about the lack of avocado so she took $1.99 off the bill, even though to add avocado to an omelette costs $3.00 according to their menu. Overall, I don't get the hype. Maybe I came on a bad day. read more

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

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

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

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

This menu is amazing. I love it here. We will be back for those amazing specials every weekend.

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! Enjoy! read more

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

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

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

Had an amazing experience at Mom's Kitchen. The food was absolutely on point -- everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell the food is made with care. We had a small misunderstanding with our order at first, but Andrew handled it like a pro. He was helpful as hell and went the extra mile to make sure everything was right. Instead of just fixing the issue, he made sure we were completely satisfied, and honestly that level of service made us appreciate the meal even more. Great food, great customer service, and people who actually care about their customers. Andrew really turned the situation into an even better experience. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

We decided to try Mom's for dinner since we enjoy their breakfast. Our meals were so-so. It's a diner and I don't expect five star cuisine. It was clear that they were understaffed with one waitress and the manager serving the whole place. I understood and accepted this, but as we were finishing our meal, a customer came in with a DOG in a stroller. Not only was she not asked to leave she was welcomed and they brought a water bowl for it! Dogs should not be allowed in their restaurant. It is unsanitary and a violation of the law. I will not be returning. 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

Food was ok. Hostess was extremely rude and waitstaff wasn't much better. Would not recommend.

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
