Great breakfast. The cooking and dining areas are small, so there is a wait to eat to be sure. However, once the food arrives you forget the wait. I came to try the hollandaise sauce because I read other reviews that said it was the best. I agree whole heartedly, it is the best I have ever had. Rich, creamy and just the right amount of seasoning. The blueberry muffing was one of the best I have had a well. Definitely will be returning. read more

We had a really poor service experience at Mom's. We were on vacation and love breakfast, we looked this place up and it had great reviews. It's a fun little spot and the food was good, but our server was downright unfriendly. There was no reason for it and it honestly bummed out the beginning of our day. She was almost hostile and we did nothing to deserve her wrath (made no complaints, had waited patiently for a table). We are guessing she just didn't like tourists? Whatever the reason, definitely an unpleasant experience. Would not go back and would not recommend. read more

This is a very down home diner style breakfast spot. You are not to come here if you are expecting fancy dishes & lavish tastes. The staff were all fantastic and friendly and our server was just the sweetest lady. She and I are in agreement that the hollandaise sauce is one of the best (and I freakin' LOVE hollandaise sauce, so this is coming with full judgement.) The space is quite small so I imagine it could feel a bit cramped when filled at max capacity. I suggest getting there before 10am to have more of the space to yourself. 10/10 would recommend. Might go back to drink hollandaise sauce. read more

Mom's Kitchen - Veggie & Cheese Omelet, potatoes, sweet bread toast. Hollandaise sauce. Coffee. Senor burrito in background. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Wanted SOOO bad to be impressed with all these good reviews. Sorry to say pancakes were still runny batter in the middle, eggs "over medium" were runny all the way through. I actually feel sorry for these North East establishments, seems like they really struggle to get help. read more

This place is a GEM. Traditional, old school diner with the best food around. No reservations in advance and gets busy during peak hours. But, worth the wait. Their "coffee rolls" (aka cinnamon rolls) are an absolute MUST. The waitresses are super sweet. The food is beyond delicious. On the weekends especially over the summer, we try to get there by 8am to avoid a long wait. Nice, friendly and lively atmosphere. read more

Cute, small cafe, really delicious breakfast! Was hoping for fish cakes but they ran out by 11:30, still had fresh homemade muffins and had spinach/tomato eggs Benedict. Really delicious! read more

Great food! The food is absolutely amazing. Me and my wife went there and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The portions were absolutely huge and you have to try the coffee roll. read more

If you're looking for the best cinnamon roll, look no further! Mom's kitchen has giant coffee rolls made fresh daily (with love of course, like everything on their menu) and grilled to perfection! You can dine in or takeout and they are just as good! Try a coffee roll or any of their delicious menu items, (mom's special is my favorite) & you won't be disappointed. read more

After a 10 minute wheat, we were seated, then ignored for another 10 minutes before we got menus and coffee. Food was as ordered and delicious. However, my half order of eggs, Benny, which gets great reviews was charged full price. So many takeout orders were filled before our order arrived. Don't go if you are in a hurry read more

This place is a real local spot and you can feel that local love when you're here! If coming on a weekend, prepare for a wait. We showed up at 10am and could not be seated until 10:50am. Once seated, the service was excellent - very kind, warm, and appreciative that we had waited. The food unfortunately took a while come out though, so our wait continued! While waiting, we enjoyed the ambiance inside. There is lots of local and family paraphernalia on the walls to observe and even an open (TINY) kitchen where a man and woman were hustling out orders left and right. The servers kept our coffee mugs refreshed as we waited so we never felt ignored. The food: - two pancakes to split: very thick and claggy. would not get again! - fish cake eggs benedict: i had asked for the hollandaise to be on the side, but it was mistakenly placed on top. the server preemptively came to let me know of the mistake and ask if i'd prefer a new plate. i considered it, but given how busy they were i figured i could just scrape some sauce off. they expressed appreciation and brought it out. the fish cakes had a stronger flavor - somewhat fishy but also with some seasonings and additions. i wished it were more simple and delicate. the eggs were cooked through but i wish the yolk had been left a little runny! it was soft but not spilling out. the potatoes were amazing - soft and with very yummy seasoning. In general this place has lovely service and a great vibe. I can see why it would be busy even at 5am with locals heading out to start their day. The food was satisfying, just not the best we'd had in town! read more

Awesome, homespun breakfast spot. Friendly staff and a great menu. Guaranteed to find something that trips your trigger and tastes delicious. Eggs Benedict was outstanding and the hollandaise was probably the best I have ever had. read more

I would rate this one star, but the workers were absolutely the nicest. They messed up my order and once I got my order it was burnt, they are short on workers. There's only one person making the food. It is decorative though. It was a bit messy. I wouldn't go back. Overall, this gets 2 stars. read more

Mom's Kitchen - A bit of a mess - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Breakfast just like mom cooked. Nice meal with great service. There were too many choices for me to choose as everything I saw coming from the kitchen looked great. I went with a two egg plate with Portuguese sausage and a Portuguese sweet bread toast. It was very good. I wish that I could have tried more, but I had to save room for my lunch plans with friends. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

We had a wedding Sat night. Went to breakfast at Mom's. Had about a 15 min wait. Not bad for Sunday morning. Great location, small place with a couple tables outside. We got a table outside. I got the fish cakes Benne, GF got an omelet. Both very good. Our server Amy did a big favor. The bride & groom were there when we were. She snagged their bill & gave it to us. As we asked her. Great breakfast before heading home. read more

Found the continental breakfast at my motel was a little lacking so I went looking for something more. Drove around a bit and found Mom's and it looked interesting. A bit off the main drag of the waterfront. Checked it on yelp and saw it rated high, so in I went. Seated and greeted immediately, but by the time I left a decent line had formed outside around 9:45AM. Anywho....I had the 3 egg breakfast with linguica, which was very reasonably priced at $8, including home fries and toast. The server was very friendly and helpful and my order came out without too much delay. The toast was nicely buttered, but the home fries were a bit on the crispy side, like they had been on the flattop a while.. Hopefully they were working on a another batch for the mid morning crowd lined up. People next to me had some eggs benedict going and it looked pretty good. Service was great and the prices good. Food I had was good but not great. Maybe other items on the menu are better. read more

Best place in town for locals. Great people there, service and great food!!! We try to go once a week ! read more

INCREDIBLE breakfast!! the service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and had a lot of suggestions for the menu. We sat by an open window that let in a nice beachy breeze. I had the best bagel sandwich I've ever had, the eggs Benedict was to die for, and there are plenty of options. 10/10 would eat here again if I ever find myself back in Gloucester. read more

What a great find. Amazing cinnamon roll but what makes it special is the people running it. Super friendly!

The cinnamon rolls are the size of a baby's head! Definitely worth the wait if you're visiting on a summer weekend.

The best Hollandaise sauce I've ever had!! Super fast service by a very friendly staff! It's a very small breakfast joint but so worth the wait to get a table. read more

great experience !!!Small place but perfect And breakfast is delicious!!! !! Friendly staff read more

Went for breakfast on Mother's Day and was treated like a queen. French toast was so yummy; service super-friendly and funny ;-)

Came to Mom's for breakfast before sea glass hunting. It's a tiny place, but such a great atmosphere! The wait staff makes you feel right at home, and the chatter from locals and tourists alike was warm and inviting. The FOOD.... I had the breakfast burrito w/sausage and it was the perfect mix of vegetables and meat. My girlfriend had the frittata which she has now been trying to replicate at home. We split a side of corned beef hash and it was HEAVENLY. One of the best I've ever had. I can't say enough about the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. I felt like I do when I go to my local breakfast place, or like when Norm went to Cheers. Maybe everybody didn't know my name, but it certainly felt like they did!!! read more

I hear the food is good, but be prepared for shifting open hours! We drove all the way up from Lynn and got here at 11:00. Their hours say they close at 12:00. As soon as we walk in, the guy says "sorry, we're closed". They had just decided to close nearly and changed their sign just as we walked in. Just be aware! read more

The potato's weren't the best and the sausages were a lil burnt but the staff was so nice! They made my day they were so nice!

Always have a great experience at Moms Kitchen. Friendly, homestyle feel with plenty of options. The dining room is on the smaller side but cozy. Service is always friendly and the food is great, don't skip the grilled coffee rolls! read more

I was starving after my neices graduation and i decided to check this place out with a few people who were with me. Now when we arrived the place was full so we wound up waiting a good while to be seated. Honestly i didnt mind it because i had good company with me and it made waiting a lot easier. The whole time we were waiting the staff would routinely come to check on us which they didnt have too but it was appreciated. When we were eventually seated everything from this point on was great. Our waiter whose name i wish i could remember was one of the best ive ever had. She was short older woman with a charming personality. She made us laugh, accomodated us accordingly, and really made the experience here extremely pleasent. Now the place itself isnt a big or extravagent restaurant with fancy gimmicks. It was like an old school mom and pop family business. Again, i have to repeat and say what made this one of the best dine in experiences ever was the staff they really made you feel at home. Now on to the best part of the visit, the food. I had steak tips, eggs, homefries, with a side of OJ. Now let me tell you about these steak tips, it made me wanna slap my momma, thats how good they were. I found myself trying to make the meal last as long as i posibbly could. Never in my life had a tasted steak that was so good. It was like the good Lord himself came down from his throne put on an apron and made miracles. Whoever the chef was that made my meal must of came from heaven, theres no way steak, eggs, and homefries could taste THAT good from human hands. Even my OJ was the best ive had you could just taste the richness in it. Im positive it was freshly squeezed, i forgot how good REAL OJ tastes. All in all this place has given me one of the best dine in experiences ive ever had, im definitely coming back here for those steak tips anytime im back in town. read more

Small breakfast place near Beauport Hotel that serves wide range of typical breakfast fare. Had the homemade muffins that were delicious, comes slathered with butter. Place was packed with locals but the waitstaff were cheery and efficient. Outdoor seating available. I enjoyed their egg frittata with cheese which came with toast and home fries. read more

We stopped in this tiny but welcoming breakfast spot on a cold dreary morning and the atmosphere inside made up for the coldness outside. The women who worked here greeted us immediately and made us feel right at home! The first thing we saw was the open kitchen and the most delicious looking cinnamon buns drew out attention. They smelt like heaven!!! There are only a few tables inside and they were all taken but upon our arrival one very kind patron moved his table so we could sit. We ordered a home made Cinnabon and had Coffee and eggs. The Cinnabon was delicious!! Warm and melted in my mouth. I couldn't help but eat it, immediately forgetting about my gluten allergy... I devoured the entire sticky bun in minutes!!!! Everything was SO good!!! Our food, the coffee, the Cinnabon!!! The atmosphere, the waitstaff, the chef and the other customers!!! Next time I find myself in Gloucester I will be back!! With friends!!! read more

We stayed at the beauport hotel across the street and wanted a more laidback breakfast option. Mom's did not disappoint. We got two breakfast sandwiches, which were sloppy and delicious, but it was the coffee bun that really hit the nail on the head. The guy who took our order insisted that he grill it for us, so it came out gooey and hot. We both agreed it was the best cinnamon roll we've ever had in our lives. Great spot with very kind people. We will definitely eat here again. read more

My only complaint is I did not take a picture of our dishes when they came out. As far as the Restaurant goes, absolutely excellent food! I have not been here in a while and my kids and I loved it! I had a veggie omelette with a side of sour cream and homemade salsa... Yum! My kids had sweet bread French toast topped with delicious whipped cream and real maple syrup. We all finished our plates despite the huge portions. Staff are working extra hard, please be patient and realize they have very high demands on them and tip generously read more

Super cute little breakfast spot with a surprisingly big menu. We got pastries expecting a light breakfast, but WOW were they big and filling.
