We were breezing through town on an errands and saw Mr. Mom's Cafe and absolutely had to stop for lunch. This place is a classic gem! It's a much loved and well- worn diner, the kind of place that I would have strolled into with my parents when I was a kid. Absolutely nothing fancy. And I mean that in the very best way. We were seated immediately and provided menus by the friendliest waitress you could want. She quickly got us our drinks, ordered up our food (a French dip sandwich with fries for me, and an omelette with home fries for my companion.) Our food was delicious! We both left looking at each other saying "This place is the real deal!" read more

I heard a lot about Mr moms prior to my visit.....honestly it's standard breakfast fare. I typically order biscuits and gravy as my test dish, if that's outstanding then typically the rest of the menu is good. Unfortunately, it was pretty plain. I've had better. I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but it's doubtful I'll return. read more

I felt so ripped off. How was our bill over $39? 2 coffees, a 2 egg and toast and a meat omelette that was upcharged without explanation to over $19. My sunny up egg was rubbery, the potatoes on my husband's plate looked like chunks of coal, the coffee was weak, the butter on the bread tasted like margarine and the toast was barely crunchy. Nothing tasted like home cooking and the patio needs a good clean up. So very disappointing. read more

I had a less than stellar experience here, so I'm not giving this restaurant a good review. I was driving by, and it looked like a fun place to eat but it was a big let down. The service was good, and my burger was decent, but that's about all I liked about this restaurant. My server was attentive, served me quickly, and was pleasant to talk to. My burger had a nice soft bun, a decent amount of cheese, and some fresh crunchy produce. What it didn't have was a lot flavor or meat for the price. I sat at the breakfast bar, that had some old-style diner chairs which looked cool, but were really uncomfortable. I ordered French fries with my burger, but they were, limp, undercooked, and loaded with grease. Probably the worst fries I've had in a long time. Then they overcharged my debit card by .86 cents, which wasn't much, but it's the principle. Anyway, that left a bad taste in my mouth kinda like their French fries! read more

Mr. Mom's Cafe - Decent burger, but limp greasy fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Petaluma, California

Only giving 2 stars cuz the service was good and friendly. But the corned beef hash was the worst I've ever even seen, didn't even resemble corned beef, absolutely disgusting, the fact that the kitchen would serve something like that says all u need to kno. Too bad because we need some decent options around here, but this place ain't it. read more

This is diabolical. Ordered the grilled cheese, bread came perfectly toasty but cheese was just slapped on and sent out. Not thrilled. Minestrone soup was delicious. read more

Mr. Mom's Cafe - "Grilled" cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Petaluma, California

Classic diner in America. Good solid food, family run. Sit at the counter and pick your next dish.

Small but cozy. Excellent service. I got the BLT with onion rings, the onion rings were exceptional. DIL got the Mr Mom's Burger Extravaganza and it really was extravagant. Our friend got the Mr Mom's Special breakfast. Plenty of food-well prepared. Would go again. read more

Great hash browns. Glad they had a veggie burger. Wish they had some more Vegan options.

Excellent breakfast my eggs were done perfectly, with crisp bacon. Service is attentive,coffee is good and the prices are very reasonable. I will be back. read more

Very homey vibez! Preferred Cash. Service is like a diner vibe. Good and Attentive. The Hungry Trucker is no joke. It's HUGE. The pancakes were slightly crunchy on the edges, which added a nice touch to its fluffiness. I would order this again. IMO, the Mr. Mom's Home-Style Country Gravy Breakfast is very heavy. The biscuit is delicious and the gravy has a nice flavor. Combined, it felt like... I was eating a crumbly and soggy oatmeal. There's probably a better way to describe the texture and flavor. Overall, I would come again next time to try their French toast and waffles (served until noon)! read more

Not the best food around. Tried the biscuits and gravy, too much flour, the gravy was very bland with little to no flavor. Honestly for the price go to dennys. I love supporting local restaurants but I can't get behind this one. read more

Great food, fun service. This is an "old school" local diner. I've been eating here as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure it's changed hands a few times but the food and service have remained amazing. read more

Decent food, old school diner atmosphere, hit or miss service. The house made jams are the star. Seasonal flavors made fresh were sweet and tangy. Perfect on toast or a biscuit. The menu was a bit confusing in how it priced their omelettes. It said you can add 4 items, didn't realize that each item was a couple dollars extra. My omelette ended up being $17, and frankly wasn't worth it. The cheese was laid on top, rather than mixed in, so it never really melted enough and slid off. The peppers and onions were not seasoned before folding into the eggs. The coffee was standard diner style, thin, acidic, with out much profile to speak of. My son ordered a waffle and that was pretty good. Tall and fluffy inside, crispy outside. I've had really slow service here before, and also really great attentive service as well. It depends on how busy they are and who your server is. All in all, not great but not bad. read more

Mr. mom used to be our favorite breakfast restaurant today, December 31. We have the worst meal I ordered a Joe special. It was dry. The spinach was old. The toast was burnt. The butter was cold sad day for us our favorite restaurant for breakfast. We won't be going back. read more

Pretty good. Customer service was one of the best. My sandwich was over toasted and it tore up the top & bottom of my mouth. I asked for an extra piece of bread so I could reassemble my sandwich and $1.75 was added to the bill. When I explained why, they kindly removed the charge. read more

Mr. Mom's Cafe - BLT with hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Petaluma, California

So happy we stumbled across this diner that has been around for 4 decades! Cozy decor, inside and outdoor seating, and friendly staff. I got the eggs Benedict and my son got the biscuits and gravy. First let me start by saying they make everything in house. I asked to confirm but if you love hollandaise sauce as much as I do, I already knew before I asked lol. My eggs were poached to perfection and everything was seasoned well. The potatoes were golden and crispy. No complaints on the biscuits and gravy either! Gravy was yep you guessed it homemade in house and is a 32 year old recipe! Will be back for sure read more

tired is the best I can say. Expensive food, that's ok if the food shines but it did not shine.

It was soooo good I'm a big fan of salads and this hit the spot! I had it with the blue cheese dressing and wow it was so good with chunks of cheese read more

Mr. Mom's Cafe - Tuna salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Petaluma, California

Quite expensive considering what you get. Far from delicious Biscuits and gravy, frozen flat links, but well prepared egg. Way over $20. Coffee was good and re-fills of black coffee. Pretty much the same as a fast-food breakfast place for way less. read more

If your looking for something simple this is the place to go. I enjoyed my meal. I wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a fancy breakfast. The only thing missing from my meal was a little salt. The decoration is pretty old school but that's just the whole vibe of the place and I didn't hate it. The girls that helped us were friendly and fast which honestly I really enjoy. I'd come back if I was looking for just a simple old fashioned breakfast l. It wasn't outstanding but like I said very simple. read more

Under new management, but they kept the old menu. As always, the servers were great. We went for Mother's Day and sit outside, which was a mistake because it was for reason and they didn't have any propane for the outside heaters. read more

From the service to the food, it's all excellent down home cooking and still FAMILY owed and operated! It gets super busy around breakfast but so worth the wait. All the staff are great but our personal favorite is Amanda! read more

Good Old Fashioned Food!!! Great Place, hidden gem, customer service is always good stick to your gut food yummy

Excellent Hole in the wall type of joint where the interiors are quaint very clean and the staff is very friendly. I ordered the basic breakfast one egg Sunnyside up, hash browns, sausages and just one slice of sourdough bread. It was perfect and the quantity was just the right amount that I wanted to eat, not too much generally leaves me feeling guilty about wasting food. Hashbrowns were toasted perfectly, the sourdough bread was toasted nice and brown and the egg wars fluffy. All in all an excellent experience and I will visit this place quite often. read more

Good breakfast with an average fair. All was good, but nothing was great. We had egg breakfast with sausage, and pancake breakfast. Don't care for the sausage read more

This is my go to breakfast place. I have never had bad service here, they are consistently good. The ambiance is just simple diner which for me is what I'm looking for for what they offer. read more

Two stars only because the service we received was excellent! Food on the other hand was not. Steak sandwich was terrible. I asked for it cooked medium rare, and it came out more than well done and with zero flavor. French fries were soft and greasy. The biscuits and gravy were slightly better than my meal, except for the biscuits were very chewy like they were not fresh at all. Gravy on them was somewhat decent. Really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately won't be coming back. read more

This place is my go to for breakfast. The food is absolutely delicious not matter what you get (pancakes are the bomb). The staff is super friendly and nice. Was so upset when I heard they were closed for a little bit but so happy they're back open. The atmosphere is welcoming and feels like one big family. read more

Old-school diner with hearty portions and no-nonsense service. The Florentine Benedict was good.

Terrible service. Sat down and waited about 15 minutes to be served coffee. Another group was sat after us and were waited on before us. We asked if we could order, and we were told "you'll be waited on when it's your turn." Got up and left after that...no place is worth waiting around to not be given an opportunity to order food. oh yeah, and the coffee wasn't even good. read more

A great find in Petaluma. Competent staff and great food. They listen to your order to make sure it's right. Bacon soft. Perfection. It was busy and they still were able to run smoothly. Would absolutely return. read more

I have always had a great experience here. The food is delicious and made fresh. Service is good, and prices are reasonable.

This place has great food!! I wanted biscuits and sausage gravy. I was told they don't have that! What??!! Who doesn't have that? They said it's bacon gravy. OK, I'll give it a try. OMG! It was so good. It's better than sausage gravy by a mile. There are no pieces of bacon though. Odd, but you want this stuff, trust me. We load up the table with multiple dishes and pig out! The daily specials and a blueberry pancake (just 1 for like $5) and biscuits and gravy... I can't wait to get back. We eat there everyday we're in the area. read more

As I haven't been into the restaurant, I can't speak to the vibe or environment, you can see for yourself from the pictures that it is a quaint local joint. I am here to review the customer service that I got from the owner Meg. I called today with somewhat of an emergency. My car broke down in the middle of the night in their parking lot that is shared with the automotive company. She was happy to help me and she was so kind and helpful. I will update my review once I pick up my car and have a chance to try their food. But if their food is half as wonderful as the kindness I received from Meg today, I'm sure it will be a great meal. Looking forward to it! read more

Great food. Great service. Very convenient. Delicious coffee. My girlfriend is picky about her bacon and they did it perfectly. Extra crispy. Will definitely keep going back. read more

Great food and wonderful service! Love the side choices of potato pancakes and biscuits too.
