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.

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. ‍

Meat ball omelette with well done hash brown

Very nice small business with good traditional food and good service . ambiance is full of sports memorabilia's. Nice way to start in the morning. Seems to be a local favorite.

Bloody Mary and Bellini
Tracy C.

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.

Corned Beef Sandwich, not much corned beef
Elena P.

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.

Inside event area

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!

The food here is beyond your average diner fare. Most of our meals have been breakfast orders, especially after fasting for doctor's appointments. My most recent meal was the Greek omelet with home fries and a grilled biscuit. The Greek omelet was filled with spinach, feta, tomatoes, onions , mushrooms, gyro meat and Deliciousness!

Biscuits and Gravy
Lindsay C.

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.

Supreme Omelet and Grits
LaNedra J.

My family and I visit Mom's Kitchen regularly and we are never disappointed! The service is always great with the waitresses treating customers like family and the food is always amazing. I love that I can join the wait list via Yelp.

Fried Chicken with sweet potato fries.
Raul M.

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. Our breakfast was superb with lots of flavors as well as great presentation. Service was very friendly and welcoming. I'm so glad my brother suggested this spot! Thanks to our server Jennifer for the great service!

The smile says it all!!! Great spot!!!
Beth P.

I love this place. It gets busy but the wait is never too long. Friendly staff, and yummy food. Warning: the pancakes are cornmeal? I think, not everyone's choice, but they are good. I have been here a few times and it us always fantastic.

Mandolin Z.

The food here is delicious and the atmosphere is like a favorite neighborhood dinner in a small Southern town. Wonderful experience! And our server, Priscilla, was outstanding! Very attentive and friendly! So glad we discovered Mom's Kitchen.

We were coming from Hallandale, we had an 8pm reservation got seated around 815 which wasn't too bad. We were sat in a dimmer quieter section away which I really appreciate since our 1 year old was sleeping giving us the perfect date-night setting. Unfortunately the last time we been to Shooters was Valentine's Day 2025. We weren't aware that the menu had been changed since our last time dining which was rather unfortunate since the two entrees (seared brown butter scallops & shrimp and grilled soy-ginger glazed salmon) we came for were changed on the menu. We ended up getting the soy glazed salmon and scallops & prawns which unfortunately we did not enjoy at all. Even the sides were different previously you could just get a side of Mac now you can only get a side of truffle Mac? The grilled soy ginger salmon was on a bed of veggies (bok choy, Napa cabbage, onions, peppers) the one that's currently on the menu was basically on two inedible pieces of bok choy and a bed of rice I couldn't even break and chew the bok choy. Our server Ava was very attentive and sweet even gave a beautiful little treat for a birthday dessert ( not a chocolate fan but her energy made the dessert amazing ). After we paid our check we asked Ava for a manager and did specify that it was regarding the food more and not her service. I didn't catch the name of the manager we spoke to but her response to us simply questioning the menu change was she's not the culinary director or something along those lines but she would still hear our feedback. She just had such an I don't care attitude about it in my opinion and had I not had a few drinks in my system, trying to enjoy my time out with my family and birthday I would've let her know her attitude regarding it just was unnecessary. We unfortunately agreed to find a new go-to restaurant to celebrate our special occasions since so much has changed. Thank you so much to Ava for making our visit worth it! Didn't get pictures of the salmon, scallops, drinks or oysters that we got but I did get the fish dip and the dessert. Edited to add pictures from one of our previous visits

(I was even dipping my fried fish into the coconut sauce the shrimp were cooked in!) This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants EVER and I'm not kidding. Immediately after I left I was planning my next trip there. The food tastes homemade and it's just so good. And for $15 for AYCE amazing homemade Filipino food it's honestly a steal.

The interior is very minimal which I didn't mind and gave me a sense of authenticity. If you want to go there you have to check their hours because they aren't open everyday and when they are open the hours vary! I heard they cater mostly to the cruise line industry. I truly enjoyed every single dish that I tried and can't wait to eat there again! 7/10

I'd definitely avoid the tempura as it didn't have the right coating and really didn't work with the broccoli. The best item was definitely the steak in my opinion. The seasoning was delicious and it was cooked to perfection. The short ribs weren't bad either. The coconut shrimp was tasty as well, but I've definitely had better. The sushi rolls was alright and there was a wide selection, but some of the sashimi didn't taste the freshest. They had a decent amount of salads around the corner, but I didn't take part in any. Another great thing was the dessert bar. I really love almond cookies, so I was elated to see them there. Their orange slices were perfectly sweet. Some of their cakes weren't had either. I also love when buffets have a good selection of ice creams, so it was nice to see they had several flavors. I got pistachio, which was just okay in flavor, but nice that there were bits of pistachio in it. I also got green tea which was a little disappointing, but there was a tinge of tea flavor.

And no matter what special you get, you are allowed some catfish with it. So, of course, we each had a fillet. It was the best part of the meal. While the scallops were decent, we were not fans because they were fried, and a bit dry. The fried catfish was crunchy but flavorful. As to the sides, the cole slaw is good. The collard greens were average. The baked sweet potato was very mushy, and the French fries needed to be crisper. The hush puppies were addictive. If you like large or plentiful portions, add a star, because your belly will surely be full. I couldn't finish my scallops or the extra piece of catfish that I had requested. And you're not allowed any doggie bags with the all-you-can-eat offers. We certainly didn't have room to try any desserts. Two entrees at $35.99 each, one alcoholic drink, tax, and tip was $115.
