Incredible! We got takeout because we were low energy, and WOWOWOW I have never gobbled something down so fast. Worth all of the hype! I got some kind of broccolini curry and it absolutely blew my mind--especially given the very reasonable prices. We didn't eat in, but we walked briefly through the inside, which was clean & bright, with a casual vibe. Our food was ready at the stated time, and they gave us forks/spoons & plenty of napkins in our takeout. I would absolutely go again if I lived in the area!
On a recent visit to Sacramento, multiple omnivore friends recommended Mother, so I was happy I had the opportunity to try it. The location is great and the woman serving when I arrived was very friendly, and she remained attentive the entire time. My friend and I split the Brussels sprouts as a starter. She got the ravioli, and I went with the vegan chile verde. Both the starter and my meal were phenomenal. While we were there, the chef's dinner was going on. I think if I were in town longer I would definitely want to try it out: $88 for a 10-course plant-based meal sounds great. All in all, a great spot, and seems well-loved by the locals, so I'm glad I was able to try it.
I think I'm late but I'm so glad Mother is back! I love the new location and I think it is so cute inside. I love the art and the natural light. I had the butternut squash soup - which was pretty good, on the sweeter side. I had such a hard time choosing what else I wanted. I didn't want more butternut squash but I wanted something fulfilling but also different. So I went for the nut burger. It was really good! I've had 2 other nut burgers elsewhere, and this one has been the best. I recently had one at Tower Cafe and this one WINS. I'm giving it 4 stars for being solid though not spectacular but definitely a place I could see myself frequenting being that the menu is seasonal. I also appreciated the seat suggestion and the complimentary cookies from my server :) I'm excited to go back to try the other dishes.
4.5 stars rounded up. I love that there is this restaurant option for Sacramento. Came here for lunch today and everything we ordered the waitresses whether or not we needed anything gluten-free or if we had special dietary needs. I shared the Chile Verde and the Farro salad. First off, you honestly wouldn't miss the meat in the Chile verde ($20). It came with white beans, hominy, salad, tortilla chips, mozzarella and cotija cheese. Very filling! Loved just the hint of spice it had. The Farro Salad which is seasonal ($16) peaches, arugula, radicchio, onion, cucumber, radish, goat cheese and of course farro -- accompanied with a basil vinaigrette, I was impressed with this salad! So impressed in fact, I made it for the work potluck the following week! (I couldn't figure out the basil vinaigrette however.) The artsy interior and kitschy dinnerware screams midtown to me. Love the ambiance. Service was good and I'll be back when they put their nut burger back on the menu!
This review is for a DoorDash order. I ordered the Madras Curry for myself and the butternut squash mac & cheese for my mum. Both were incredibly flavorful. My curry dish was out of this world. It will leave a lasting impression and craving in my mind for the next time.
Being plant based sometimes makes going out to eat difficult. Finding Mother restaurant was a wonderful surprise to my day. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about alternative diets and happily makes their recommendations upon request. Our food came out in a timely manner and was plated beautifully. The restaurant itself is upbeat and quirky. We cannot wait to go back!
Vegan/veggie spot with delicious options! Such a cute little spot in the middle of midtown with really friendly staff and great vibes. Beer/wine and non alcoholic options; their lemonade is my fav! Food is fresh and creatively prepared. Put this on your list to try and support!
Really wanted to try this vegan friendly restaurant. They have a liquor license too. So sad that over half the items on the menu are not and cannot be made vegan. The mushroom bolo lasagna and mushroom sizzling skillet have dairy (and maybe egg too). So we tried the soup of the day (tortilla) and oyster mushroom po'boy. Sandwiches was yummy and came with homemade chips. Soup tasted a bit like enchilada sauce and was puréed without beans. Did have tortilla chips on top. Not my fav, but good. Staff was friendly, food came out quick, and there is plenty of street parking. Hope they plan to offer more vegan dishes. Vegetarians will love this place.
I can't say enough amazing things about this place! We came here for my wife's bday with a huge party. Not only would they easily split the checks, but the service was impeccable, and they said no problem! I didn't get a lot of photos of the amazing food we had that night so I'm sharing what I have from our most recent experience. Don't miss this gem in midtown!
We attended the Chef's 10 last night Feb 19- it was amazing. The chef's interactions were fun, the crowd was pleasant, dining room was full, iced tea tasted the bestttt, service was wonderful even though they were so super busy they were super attentive. The food was all so good, my pictures of it aren't great but in person it was beautiful. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.
I've been wanting to try Mother at their new K Street location since I heard they were re-opening. I went with a friend who is vegan and we both were a bit skeptical based on experiences at their previous location. However, we were both pleasantly surprised with the items with the menu and the food. We started our meal with their soup of the day, creamy white bean with rosemary. We also shared an appetizer of grilled shishito peppers. For our main course, my friend ordered the mushroom Po'boy sandwich and I got a golden beet tostada. We also got broccolini adobo and grilled summer squash to share. The soup was creamy without being too heavy. The shishito peppers were lightly roasted which brought out sweet and smoky flavors. The summer squash came with grilled apricots, which added a sweet touch to the savory dish. The broccolini with adobo sauce worked very well together. I had my doubts because adobo sauce is usually very salty, but Mother's version was spiced to compliment the vegetable. What I loved about all the dishes was being able to truly taste the fresh ingredients because they weren't overpowered by heavy sauces or creams. We left full and satisfied without feeling stuffed. Service was efficient and friendly. Our food came out in a timely manner and the server came around to check on us. We didn't ever feel like we had to ask for anything. All in all, it was positive re-introduction to the new Mother restaurant. I'll definitely be back soon.
Food: Toastada, curry, fries, peppers, salad was so good! Service: outstanding, the server touched based often and was very attentive. Ambiance: pretty chill.
While walking through Sacramento, we stumbled upon Mother Restaurant and were intrigued once we realized they offer vegan options, so we decided to give it a try. To our surprise, the food really hit the spot. We visited during a slow lunch hour, which allowed us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed. We decided to share the oyster mushroom po'boy and the eggplant dish ( I forgot the name of the item), and both dishes were absolutely fantastic. We had a hard time deciding which one was our favorite because each was so flavorful in its own way. .It's a great find in Sacramento, especially for anyone looking for tasty vegan options.
I am so glad I got to come here. Always when I go out to eat, my eyes are bigger than my stomach...I was hungry but it felt like a soup day for me! Was so happy that they had potato/leek soup,w/ a slice of foccacia. It was delicious and perfect for my appetite! I took pictures of everything except for my food! I will definitely be back as my eyes are set on the nut burger!!! The waiter was very helpful and kind! read more
The food here is SO GOOD! I love when a restaurant sources quality seasonal ingredients and celebrates them by creating menu items that will help them shine. Mother does just that with every menu item. The hardest part for me was choosing what to order, so naturally I over-ordered so I could sample multiple things and have plenty of leftovers for later. The team here was really nice and welcoming and the restaurant is very cute. They have seating for parties of various sizes and some outdoor seating as well. I stopped in at around 1pm on a Friday and it was busy with dine in and take out orders, but not overwhelmingly busy and I grabbed a seat easily. I ended up asking for recommendations and ordered the oyster mushroom Po'boy ($18), the chile verde ($20) and added a fried egg (+3), as well as the butternut squash mac and cheese ($11). While all of the dishes are vegetarian, many of the dishes can be prepared vegan but they don't use any animal product alternatives (like faux meats) instead they let the veggies shine. The Oyster Po'boy was on a soft and fluffy bun and had crispy, delicious fried mushrooms on it with some house made pickles and house made chips. The chips were amazing, so crunchy with the perfect amount of salt. Overall I can see why this is a customer favorite item. The Chile Verde was so flavorful and bright and came with some salad and avocado on the side. It's a filling dish and I definitely recommend the fried egg to bring the whole dish together. The Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese has crispies on top made with the parmesan bread crumbs and is so creamy, flavorful and indulgent. I will be craving this mac and cheese again soon. I'm so glad they moved to this location in Midtown (on K between 23&24) since I'm in this area so often. I'm so excited to try more items from the menu and check in for seasonal items. read more

While I had known Mother was back in Sacramento I hadnt been able to visit. But thank goodness they are back with their staples and classics and just down the street from their previous location. The mushroom po'boy is always a great choice and the additions of the chips is chef kiss. The sandwich is a great size and easily shareable. The mushrooms are fried and seasoned in a great blend, and the lettuce and cucumbers are a fresh addition. The fried chips are light and crunchy with a seasoning that resembles BBQ chips. My partner ordered the special pasta on the menu and we ordered a side of potato wedges with a great dipping sauce. Staff was very nice and welcoming, checking in at the appropriate times. read more
I have missed Mother since the original K street location closed. I worked across the street and would frequent it often. I love the range of vegan and vegetarian options they provide. Some friends and I had to switch our Thursday play date at Cap Stage to Saturday, so we decided to branch out for dinner. Mother is located where Skool Japanese was. The iconic wooden benches from the K Street location have migrated and reproduced, mixed with colorful and bright neon, wallpaper and art. Mother's menu is not huge, but it changes seasonally and contains many crowd pleasers. I opted for the Oyster Mushroom Po' Boy Sandwich- loving the play on the name. The mushrooms were fried perfectly and the overall result was a delicious sandwich thanks to the remoulade and coriander pickles. The special dessert of the day was a cardamom creme brulee, which was just divine. I shared it with the table because it was too rich to eat solo after a decadent fried sandwich. I am so pleased to see Mother thriving just a bit up the road. In a town like Sacrament surrounded by the best and freshest produce imaginable, it's a great option that goes way beyond rabbit food. read more
As a non-vegetarian, I wasn't sure what to expect when walking in for the first time. After trying it out, I really enjoyed my time there. The staff was great throughout our time there, checking in and refilling water. We came in during a relatively quiet time and were able to sit at a table instantly upon walking in, which is always a bonus. Everything we ordered was great, and the food came out promptly. The sizes of the portions presented to us also surprised me, and they were really filling. Potato wedges were big and satisfying, and the provided dipping sauce was yummy. The po boy was really generously sized, and the chips were tasty too. The special I got, the parpadelle, was really good as well. I'd be back for sure. read more

I really liked: Ferro Salad I liked: Squash Latke Benedict Sweet and sour Brussels sprouts These were ok: Oyster mushroom Poboy Dutch baby The ferro salad and latke benedict #goodeats carried the meal otherwise I wouldn't consider coming back. There's no chicken poboy as suggested on Yelp and the oyster poboy was not very substantial. Not a lot of flavor and kinda bland tbh. If you like lighter meals, I think this place is fine. Service was pretty standard. Nothing extraordinary or bad. There were a good number of people eating here and there's a modern diner feel to the place. read more

I like the new location in midtown and am happy there is more of a dining experience than their previous downtown spot. We were seated in a tiny 2-seat table right on top of someone else however so it felt a little like we couldn't have a private conversation. Louder upbeat music inside (I remember hearing The Rolling Stones in particular). I like that everything is vegetarian and there are many vegan options. I got the farro salad because I used to love it before. I was a little disappointed though because the serving was pretty small ($14 salad) so I left kind of hungry. There were a bunch of green apple slices and some roasted butternut squash. It was good, but not that exciting so I'll probably try something different next time. I had to order without cheese to make vegan. My friend got the mushrooms sandwich that came with a bunch of potato chips. He said the more milder just sauce was good on it read more

I have been eagerly wanting to come to this restaurant because of its renowned vegan menu, and my expectations were certainly met. The food in the menu was exceptionally delicious and satisfying. We placed the following orders: - Turmeric hummus- it pairs perfectly with their house- made flat bread. -Strawberry Farro Salad - basil vinaigrette brings out the best flavors in this refreshing salad featuring crisp arugula, juicy strawberries, cheese, red onion, and cucumber. -Chili Verde- arugula, crispy tortillas, and fresh avocado elevated the flavors of this salad. -Potato Wedges- large potato cut into five pieces with skin and sprinkled with rosemary salt. Smoked mayonnaise dip makes it more delicious. Because of the chilly and wet weather, we opted for hot tea and coffee. -Soup of the day- I forgot the name but it was so good. Finding a parking spot was the biggest challenge. We waited for a car to leave so that we could park. Highly recommended this vegan restaurant for its delicious plant- based dishes and cozy atmosphere. read more

The name says it all. Mother is such a great find in Sac for a unique meal that's accommodating to your whole party's dietary preferences and restrictions. We wanted to try a little bit of a lot of items, so we ordered the Po'Boy sandwich, the Fava-oli, the broccolini, the turmeric hummus, and the wedge fries. Everything was delicious! A favorite was definitely the Po'Boy sandwich. It's popular for a reason. The flavor of the ouster mushroom itself combined with the crispy onions and their hot sauce is a great combination. I also really Loved their turmeric hummus and broccolini Adobo. The simplicity of the dishes truly doesn't matter because they are so well executed. Highly recommend as apps for the table! I wasn't the biggest fan of the Fava-oli but it was a big hit with other members of my party. If you enjoy a lighter and more lemony pasta with peas, this is definitely for you. Overall, we had a great experience here celebrating a birthday and we'll definitely be back! read more
My house is under construction for a few days and I wont be able to cook! I was gifted a Mother gift certificate a few months ago so I ordered takeout. Ordering online was a breeze. The restaurant is really cute. The service super friendly. They accommodated my special requests. I will eat in and take my friends next time. I tried the vegan chili. I liked the texture. It was hearty and spicy. I didn't miss having meat in the chili. I also had the kale salad and farro salad. They were awesome. There were so many textures and super fresh ingredients. The basil salad dressing was incredible. Great food and experience. read more
New location feels a lot more spacious than the previous one. A little warm inside for a restaurant but not too uncomfortable. The Sunflower Pesto pasta with trumpet mushrooms was absolutely delicious. I'm a meat eater and I didn't miss the lack of meat one bit with this dish. Staff was friendly but not very attentive. Our server never came back to check on us after our food was delivered and we had to wait quite awhile until a different server noticed us just sitting and offered to bring our check to us. Our table was very wobbly and made it difficult to eat. The food itself was 5 stars, the service needs some improvement. read more

I had not been to Mother since pre-COVID. The food was always delicious but the space was small. I was pleasantly surprised when I visited their new location on K Street today. It is spacious, brightly decorated and the food is still all things, fresh and amazing! One of my friends asked how is your food? I replied, it's like a party in my mouth! I will be back again & again! read more

I felt guilty arriving here 45 minutes before they closed. No, we are not one of those. But tonight we were. Sorry! Still, amazing service and as always the food is good. The art on the wall was new, it was pleasant to look at. Can I share my art too? Anyway, this is our second or third time at this location. I've tried them once in 2019 before they closed the other location and I'm glad they're back and better. Don't ever leave again. read more

$46.35 for a farro salad & mushroom po'boy. 1 of which was supposed to include a blue-cheese. No cheese afaik. Food taste was great. Pricing is ridiculous. Especially when you can't call to express your dissatisfaction(no phone number/someome to reach out to) with service after tipping 20% on a to-go order that wasn't fully fulfilled. read more

Ok so the food was kind of like pretentious (that's the best way i can think of describing it) and very expensive for what it is. It almost as if they are trying too hard. I would come here if someone else was paying for me but i wouldn't just come here with the homie again. It was cute inside and the lady who waited on us was nice but damn I just feel like there's better stuff for cheaper. read more

Why did they close 😢? My go to spot every time I visit Sacramento. Also, does anyone remember what kind of mushrooms they used?
Same! I loved that mushroom sandwich and I'm not sure what they used in it but I've heard their sister restaurant Empress Tavern has a similar sandwich.
Do they still do the Chef's Choice? I had that option years ago and LOVED it. Hoping they still have it.
Are any of the menu options compliant with Whole30?
I'd think so! They're really easy going about modifications, so you could probably at least find something that can be modified to your diet!
Are the food organic?
Yes, at least a lot of them are. The food is excellent, natural, they have vegan options too.
Do they have gluten free options?
Yes. They usually have at least a few options (it's a small menu), including salads and an entree. Breadcrumbs are in a lot of things. The kitchen is small, so that's something to consider if you are allergic to gluten and concerned about cross…
I notice that there is outdoor seating. Is Mothers dog friendly?
Yes they are. I think their website even says something about the patio bring pet-friendly. I've personally seen many a leashed-dog in the patio. Enjoy!
