Lots of food, nice little place, prices are decent, service was great, the only issue I had was that I like more of a white gravy on my biscuits, but the biscuits were light and fluffy, all in all I would eat there again read more

1/2 order was like a biscuit and a 1/2 I can't imagine eating a whole order. Fried potatoes were plentiful and fried perfectly. Seated ourselves and waitress was quick to come address us. Took our drink order and came back to take our order and came back quickly with it. Place is U K themed with a huge selection of coffee mugs around the ceiling See y'all there read more

Charming little diner! Actually much bigger inside than I thought. Lots of booths, plus tables- including two that could hold a group of eight. Plus a tiny counter. I wanted to sit there but there were no open seats. They've got a real honest to goodness jukebox. I was sorely tempted to drop some money into it, but since I was solo on my first visit, obviously not a regular, plus it was Sunday morning, I opted against it. Next time with courage. Service was prompt and food came quickly. Eggs over easy were closer to over medium, alas. But everything was fresh and tasty. Coffee was hot and strong. Refill was offered. I brought my husband back a fried bologna sandwich on Texas toast. He devoured it quickly and said it was excellent. Lots of kitschy decor with a dual theme: Coffee mugs, and the UK Wildcats. Restaurant is attached to (but independent of) a convenience store so there's a good amount of parking. Cash only. I'll return! read more

I am a sucker for local mom and pop restaurants and this is one in Franklin. I love how they support our schools and town. Make sure to get there early they are usually packed with a line. The parking is great plenty and attached go a gas station. The menu is large and offers breakfast and lunch. I love the soup beans. The boys had a great breakfast prior to kicking off there baseball season with plenty of packages and sausage if you do decide to eat here no it's super cheap.prices buy great quality of food and they only take cash read more

Food was mediocre at best. The eggs were basic and barely seasoned, the bacon was nothing special, and the biscuits and gravy had very little flavor. Overall the meal was pretty bland and underwhelming. On the bright side it was cheap and the place is cash only, which is inconvenient. Unfortunately not a spot I'd go back to. read more

I found out about Mom's when Mom visited our deli. Mom's Restaurant turned out to be exactly what I had been looking for sinceiving to Ohio 10 years ago. I absolutely loved the soup beans and cornbread. The kids had a Mickey Mouse pancake and French toast. Everybody lives it!! I can't wait to get back and try the omelettes. Mom is super nice, she gave the grandkids two pieces of gum for giving her a hug. I'm definitely going to make this a frequent dining option. read more

Mom's Restaurant - Soup Beans with Cornbread, Onions and Peppers. Side Salad with Ranch. - New American Near Me - Franklin, Ohio

Very disappointing! I've been burping up the old oil they use to fry things. The CFS was no good. The service was good, the ambiance was just what you'd think of a diner. They need to try harder with the quality of food. read more

We enjoy getting breakfast at Mom's Restaurant. The biscuit and gravy with bacon is my go to. The restaurant can be busy which is great for them. We use to wait to be seated until we realized other customers would walk right in front of us and sit down. We asked if we needed to wait to be seated because we always had and we were told if there is a table open to go ahead and have a seat. So keep an eye out! The service is pretty fast and the staff is good about coming around to check on you. We always enjoy seeing the woman with the beautiful white hair that is always wearing some sort of sparkles and fancy boots. I'm assuming that's "mom". She traded mom son a piece of gum for a hug one time. That made us laugh for days. read more

Great place for a real home cooking meal. Don't expect a fast food pace. It takes awhile for your meal.

A classic diner. Mom's is an institution. Best for breakfast, ok for lunch. CASH ONLY. read more

Mom's Restaurant - Mom's menu, under plexiglass on the table. - New American Near Me - Franklin, Ohio

Had breakfast this morning at this delightful little place. Entrance is a door on the left inside the main entrance to the Marathon station. Mom is in her 80's now, but she still is there on a regular basis. And she is a BIG Kentucky fan--UK memorabilia all over the place. And they have a coffee cup collection all over the walls and ceiling--over 1200 altogether. If you think you have a unique one, bring it in. I had the half order of biscuits and gravy and eggs--WOW--can only imagine how big the regular order is. You get a lot of bang for the buck here, more than any place I know of. They had a big selection of homemade pies listed on their board, so I got a couple pieces to go. Service was very friendly and attentive. Great hometown ambiance. Seems like primarily a breakfast place, but they also have sandwiches. Note that they are CASH ONLY and it states this clearly when you go in. read more

Still like Mom's it's a local favorite for breakfast especially. It's in the Marathon gas station and I tell you even going to the Marathon gas station it's easy to miss right as you walk in the door there's a wood door to the left. Go to the Cafe go through that wouldn't door it's easy to miss. Places very warm inside so if you're menopause or hot blooded keep that in mind when you dress. They only accept cash I repeat they only accept cash. I do have signs right as you go in but several people including the ones I was with did not notice them. Sometimes parking is an issue there is parking over to the side but when it's cold I wish they had more parking closer to the door. Staff is good the food is good especially if you like home cooking. They do lunch and dinner but they have limited hours. Still pretty much just go there for breakfast. Not to be offensive but most of the people that go there older people. Seems like a place a lot of people meet up on a regular basis a Hangouts read more

Mom's Restaurant - New American Near Me - Franklin, Ohio

A friend and I went here for an intended lunch. When we drove up we saw it was connected to a gas station. No big deal. I hadn't known what to expect. We went in and were pleasantly surprised. We also discovered they served breakfast and lunch and we both ordered a breakfast meal. I had the pancakes and sausage patties which were fluffy and delicious and very filling. My friend had the biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. She had all of hers as well. All in all it was a very nice meal at a very reasonable cost. I would recommend this restaurant again. But keep in mind I think they close at 2pm. read more

Don't let the gas station fool you. The food here is excellent for breakfast. The service is fast and the mugs around the walls are just neat to see. read more

Real down home country cooking! Wonderful atmosphere and great people, and our favorite country music star is a regular. He and his wife have an amazing Saturday radio show we always look forward to. read more

I had the opportunity to try this little restaurant last week, and I will say that I would truly go back again. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Just keep in mind that when you go there it is cash only. read more

Can I do 3.5 stars? Went there with my wife and senior mother. The place was accessible and clean. The service was great. The eggs were perfect. The fried potatoes were good. The gravy not so much. read more

Food and service were great! I'd definitely go back! Bring cash though. No cards accepted.

Food order was 66% correct. Never was offered refill on my drink. Another customer was watching loud videos on his phone. Wait staff said he was hard of hearing. People across the street could hear it. read more

It is what it is ... a great little breakfast spot with fun waitresses and a fun group of regulars. The jukebox was a joy. And the food was well prepared. read more

Very patriotic old fashioned atmosphere. Food was old fashioned and a super value. The mom's special is fantastic.

Good for breakfast and lunch. Cash only. Has a long table for people who want to eat with others. Truckers welcome. Can buy tickets to some local entertainment there read more

Passing through & saw this place right down the road from the Pilot Truck Stop. So, checked out the Yelp reviews & thought I'd give it a shot. Glad I did. "Mom" greeted me, sat me, grabbed my drink, & took my order. She's been doing this for over 40 years! But I'll have to admit that service was slow. That's why "Mom" jumped in & helped me out. My breakfast was really good. Mom's is known for her gravy. But I wasn't a huge fan of it. I like a really good sausage gravy. Anyways, loved my visit & look forward to going back when I'm passing through. But you better get their early because they close shortly after lunch. Also, CASH ONLY! read more

Hole in the wall place, with a locals feel to it. Great comfort food menu with great prices. I got a breakfast plate of bacon eggs toast with a side of grits for $11. Everything was very tasty and service was very friendly. read more

Mom's Restaurant - This place is an absolute treasure! - New American Near Me - Franklin, Ohio

I honestly feel like 2 stars is generous but our waitress was very sweet so gotta give something. It's cash only which you'd think would make prices lower but nope. I ordered a blt which was about $5 for just your sandwich and it was embarrassingly small and just not good. Bacon over cooked, tomato on the orange side, & the Mayo was funky (kind of Miracle whip like). I ordered a side of fried cauliflower and requested cocktail sauce. I was brought out a packet of something that said it was cocktail sauce but looked like it had been dug out from behind the fridge. The hubs ordered the Mom's breakfast special and again, not impressed. The image showed sausage links, he got dried out patties. The only thing he slightly enjoyed were the biscuits. It seems like a local joint with lots of loyal followers so it should be fine without a return visit from us. read more

Open for breakfast and lunch only. Breakfast is good portions but a little cold on the potatoes or home fries. Used gravy from chicken fried steak to warm them. read more

I've been going since the old location, always great food. Recently I visited and the servers had masks on their chins, and the owner had no protection on at all. Wake up, this is real. Service is great, food is great, prices are great. Last time I went, I visited my mom's after and farted. read more

Bypass this place food is cold .have eaten at mom before year ago .this time biscuit and gravy cold think grease gravy thin no sausage. The biscuit out of a can .food was cold .the atmosphere is very uncomfortable if you don't support a certain person. Cash only knew that.but the food just terrible. Cold just not appealing and no taste.you get better biscuit and gravy from McDonald's. Don't waste your time. Go elsewhere read more

I would give this 10 stars if I could! From the moment you walk in, to the time you leave, you feel like family. Food is amazing!! Good portions, friendly people. This is a rare find and a treasure... read more

Outstanding breakfast. Betty Crocker herself couldn't make a better biscuit. 10/10 recommend this cute spot!

Hands down the best breakfast you will find anywhere. This is the cutest place, everyone is very friendly. Don't be fooled because it is connected to a gas station, wonderful experience. Biscuits and gravy and pancakes are simply delicious. read more

Nothing Fancy- Just Good Food Stopped in on a rainy Sunday, the place was just about full. We did the Breakfast special which was biscuits and gravy, eggs, choice of meat and fried potatoes for $8.95. Food was good, service was attentive and Mom was greeting table all over the dining room. Oh be warned- it's cash only here! read more

Great food, cool vibe. Like walking into your grandmas kitchen. Don't let the gas station location fool you. It's been an area staple for years. Omelettes are big, coffee is constantly filled and hot but the homemade biscuits and gravy are what it's all about read more

I asked a couple of truck drivers Where's a good place to eat. They told me about this place I had the chicken dumplings. It's good. Home style cooking. Friendly staff. Clean Good place to stop and eat. I will be back. read more

Cash only Drove 25 minutes to get Breakfast only to find out they don't take a card. read more

Pros: Really a nice atmosphere and a very friendly waitress. Food is reasonably priced. Cons: Known for their homemade cooking. Really? The crinkled fries were store bought and they put cold slices of processed cheese on top of the omelette. Known for their biscuits but mine were as dry as the Sahara. Overall: If you are looking for an upscale McDonald's, this is your place. If you think you will get a homemade breakfast, Donald Trump has a steak for you. read more
