    Sweet Mama's has always been a place I've enjoyed taking my kids to for breakfast. This past Sunday my wife and I took my son, his wife, and my grandson. This restaurant in Northport has a very cozy feel to it with friendly service. With many good choices on the menu, I opted for the Croissant French Toast which was filled with cream cheese and topped with strawberries and blueberries. Delicious breakfast! If you're in the area looking for a breakfast or lunch spot, Sweet Mama's is a place to go!

    The service was the best part. The waitress we had was so kind, observant and quick. The food was good regular breakfast foods. The omelette had a lot of avocado in it and the potatoes were nice and crispy. Had kids meals for breakfast and lunch. Place is old school but a good family vibe. Would go back !

    A pristine family style restaurant, Sweet Mama's serves breakfast and lunch in a delicious and timely manner. The interior is quaint, reminiscing days gone by, while the staff is pleasant. Weekends are busy and the food keeps you coming back for more.

    I had this place bookmarked for a while and we decided to give it a try this morning. Outside, the place is in need of a landscape. But we weren't put off for long because the inside was so cute and felt like a small town restaurant. The holiday decor was adorable as well. But that's where our positive experience ends. We were sat quickly and the server came to take our order. Sorry, but she was awful. The place was busy and she was inattentive. We ordered and couldn't eat when the food arrived because we were missing butter for the pancakes and dressing for our salad. The food was terrible. We ate most of our avocado toast but the grits were a waste of money. We didn't get a chance to say anything to the server because she was nowhere to be found when we needed her. Not even when it came to paying for the check. Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Very rarely do I give a poor review but today's experience certainly warrants it.

    Big Breakfast combo
    Cuda G.

    15+ years ago, Sweet Mama's was rather forlorn and so was their food. But as of 2024 they 've completely turned things around. The food is now consistently very good, fresh, and with generous portions for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Their big breakfast combo platter is wonderful and a huge bargain compared to the measly servings of nearby diners. At dinnertime, their old-fashioned favorites include meatloaf, fried chicken, Thanksgiving-style turkey platters - - - even chicken fried steak. And the salad that comes with these entrees is the biggest, loveliest starter salad you'll find anywhere. Desserts are all fresh and amply-sized. Their carrot and chocolate cakes are big enough for two to share. Sweet Mama's has fully redeemed itself, and is a great local place for reliable quality comfort food at very reasonable prices.

    Wow what a cutesy place!!! Food was delicious! Def hits the spot if you are craving southern cooking. Service was excellent, waitress was friendly & patient! Definitely recommend going for breakfast/brunch.

    Big Daddy
    Amneris M.

    Sweet Mama's! Where have you been all my life? Wow! When I say "home-cooked," I mean it genuinely feels like someone made it right at home. It's mind-boggling that I hadn't heard of this place before. I started with a mimosa flight, and every flavor I picked was delicious! For the main dish, I chose the Big Daddy, and I would definitely order it again. I can't believe I finished the entire thing--it was that good! I can't wait to try the Stony Brook location. This place is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty, home-style meal.

    Super cute place with a fun retro vibe! There's a huge bar, plenty of seating, and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was quick, and there's a great variety of drinks to choose from.

    Cute breakfast spot when west of Maureen's Kitchen (Smithtown), on par with diner breakfast fare. Nothing at our table was remarkable but a still a fair substitute for a home-cooked famiy breakfast when no one wants to cook. Service was on the slower side. I'd be curious to try the specials or Stony Brook location next time.

    South Beach Omelet
    Cyrus A.

    What a fantastic diner! If you find yourself in Northport, come here for home cooking and friendly staff. Plenty of menu options for breakfast and lunch. Even within the breakfast menu, there is a diversity of both sweet and savory options. I ordered the south beach omelet, hoping it would be a bit on the lighter side. It was delicious, but a lot heavier than I was expecting. As far as sides, the home fries were fantastic, and the biscuits were outstanding - light and fluffy, with flavor-packed gravy on the side. All in all, an excellent meal, especially if you're looking for something super filling at a great price!

    Such a cute charming familiar cozy feel to this restaurant! It goes perfect with the name! It's really cute inside and the waitress we got was very welcoming and friendly! Good breakfast and brunch spot for sure! We didn't have reservations on a Sunday afternoon but we didn't need any. There were seats outside but it was too hot to sit outside. I had an omelette (nothing special but wasn't bad) my husband and friends had steak and eggs, blueberry pancakes with bacon and sausages. Your regular brunch spot for locals for sure but a bonus was the brunch cocktails and for me it was the mimosa flight and their lavender flavored mimosa which was my absolute favorite! Never had a lavender mimosa before and I highly recommend everyone taste this! This may be the reason for my 4 stars. Going back for that and love that it's so close to the beach! Great spot for breakfast!

    Outside!! This is the place!

    So sweet! Food off the hook!! Delicious! Smiles and great service!!! Takes me back to a time when sunday morning breakfast was delicious! Love the antiques!

    Since my review of a disappointing first experience at Birdie Bar, I have returned quite a few…read moretimes (largely because there aren't many options in area and the ease of parking), and have found some dishes to be excellent. This includes the olive oil cake, bbq pulled pork nachos, crispy Brussel sprouts, smash burger (although not consistent in size), and chicken picante. The restaurant is relatively new (just reached third year anniversary), so perhaps the kitchen needed more time to prepare dishes more consistently. For the most part the food now matches the social media hype. TIP: Others have recently noted slow service, incorrect orders. I have been visiting at the start of dinner service, and have not encountered this, so some of these issues may potentially be avoided by arriving before inexperienced service staff are overwhelmed. Most people will be seated on second floor which requires walking up a staircase. If special accommodation is needed I suggest informing restaurant in advance. There is some seating downstairs, but depending of time and day this area (bar) can get uncomfortably loud.
