    Caramel latte
    Andrea F.

    Decided to check this spot out with my old college friend peeps for our much-needed, catch-up brunch. We knew going in that this is a very family-friendly place, but we honestly didn't expect the nonstop crying child lol. So for me, that's where it's a three star instead of a four. It, unfortunately, set the tone for everything else. So consider this a possible warning because the restaurant has no control over something like that. Once beyond that, the nostalgic decor and hometown ambiance is nice. The food was fresh and good. Nothing terribly special but a solid good. Definitely worth a trip back. We all had sandwiches and lattes. They were satisfying. A side of fries was shared but they had absolutely no seasoning not even salt, which was odd. Lastly, we shared a dessert. It was fine, but It looked much better than it actually tasted. The servers are friendly and accommodating. We were able to have three separate bills instead splitting it three ways. Overall, a nice outing with my peeps. Just nothing overly special making me want to come back again real soon.

    Sweet Mama's is a spot that lives up to the hype. Restaurant feels warm, comforting, and consistently satisfying. Friendly service, atmosphere that fits the area nicely; it's easy to see why I'd like to call it a go-to brunch favorite. The specials stood out on my last trip. The pesto mozzarella chicken burger was packed with flavor, fresh mozz was a star, and the pesto added a fresh, savory kick that made it unforgettable. Chicken was slightly dry, but overall was a great dish.The French toast bites were impressive--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. The drinks were just as memorable and perfect for St Patricks month! The Nutty Irishman coffee was rich with good balance of sweetness and liqueur, while the St. Paddy's cold brew was refreshing and bold--definitely a must-try if you like creative coffee options. Overall, everything from the food to the drinks reflects the quality and consistency you can rave about. It's the kind of place where you leave already planning your next visit.

    EVERY TIME I COME they never disappoint! Great food, great service! ALWAYS! It has become our family favorite spot in Stony Brook!

    Came here for breakfast with a friend and my husband. I haven't been in this neighborhood for years; a quaint street with a big and beautiful post office to the left. Upon entering, there is an ice cream counter, but it was too early for me lol Ariana, our server, was sweet and attentive. I ordered the aloha paradise pancakes and requested they go easy on the macadamia nuts, so I am guessing it would have a lot more. I received three huge, fluffy and yummy pancakes, topped with bananas, coconut and coconut syrup. They were delicious and I was full way too soon. My husband got the classic French toast. It was good, and they have sugar free syrup, which he used. Our friend got some a burrito with potatoes; he enjoyed it, and I could see huge pieces of avocado. I am not a coffee drinker, but Sweet Mana's menu looks like this would be the place to go. Forgot to photo it. This was a great place for breakfast.

    Tiramisu iced latte. Tasty, but not worth $9. I can get a large iced latte from my favorite coffee spot for $2 cheaper!

    Before posting this review, Sweet Mama's had an overall Yelp score of 3.8 which honestly sounds close (though it should probably be a tad less) when talking about what this place has to offer. There's some positives, some real negatives, and basically a general feeling of "Dang I wish everything could've lived up to what it was putting down." Let me explain. My wife and I swung by Sweet Mama's in Stonybrook on Juneteenth, a super hot day in which many people had the day off yet no one was to be seen. I say this because Sweet Mama's was empty for quite some time before anyone else came in. We were okay with this because it gave us a more mellow morning together and let us take in the cool ambiance that Sweet Mama's is rocking. The place had a southern country feel from its decor to its music, and there was even a beautiful bar in the back-left-side of the interior that might be a fun time in the later hours of the day. I will say it was surprising that there was only one single-person bathroom in the dining area and the soap in said bathroom seemed to be empty. Not good when the place had only just opened. Taking that unfortunate hygienic part and placing it on the side for the time being, the service was swell and so was the menu. Our waitress was friendly and what we ordered came out pretty quickly despite one item on my wife's plate, (her side of meat choice, sausage over bacon) was wrong. They quickly corrected it by bringing out what she had actually ordered and everything else went pretty swell...except for perhaps one other important factor. Now that factor is the food and maybe this is where my wife and I might differ a bit on a few things. We would both agree that Sweet Mama's has a massive menu with a lot of great-sounding things. We also might agree that despite the descriptions, some of these things might just not be as tasty as one might hope. We'd also probably agree that the pricing of some food/drink items really don't warrant what you get. Though we'd slightly disagree on our plates of grub because I did in fact enjoy (parts of) mine as opposed to her. Coming in with a little more clarity, we both ordered iced coffees, but mine was a special seasonal brew, a tiramisu iced latte. Sounds amazing and it was pretty tasty, though was it worth the $9 price tag? Definitely not (her coffee was a little cheaper so slightly better-priced). As for grub, she got The Little Mama which came with two pancakes (kind of bland with syrup packets as opposed to a pouring container like in IHOP or Brownstones), two eggs (scrambled and not overly dry), home fries (nothing super special), and sausage (again, not much to write home about). For me, I got the Southern Fixin's Platter which came with two eggs (over easy for me which were quite tasty, ham (nothing bad about that), sausage gravy (best part of the meal), grits (something was a little off in the flavor of these which had me skipping them), home fries (same as my wife's not-so-special ones), and a biscuit (a little hard and not fluffy or freshly baked like the menu states). It really was a mixed bag of tastes and flavors and at a price that I can't say I loved with each of our meals being only slightly under $20 each. Ouch. Overall, Sweet Mama's really could have been superbly amazing. There's so much to love about the place in what they do right in ambiance, service, and some tastes, and yet they miss on a couple of important flavor and quality marks, they are a bit pricier than they should be for what they offer, and that bathroom piece is a head scratcher for sure as it's a health-related factor and something I can't just overlook. With that in mind, I'll head south of what could have maybe been a 3.5 star review rounded up and round down to 3 with the idea that I just don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. Sorry, Sweet Mama and your Yelp rating score.

    Very cute and homey and the food was delish! Our server Isabel was really nice and food came out in great time and hot. Definitely recommend and will come back here to eat.

    My family and I have been here twice. First time for a late lunch and ice cream. Second time was for breakfast. Both times were amazing. The chicken and waffles sandwich is amazing. Coffee flight was the best. Highly recommend and will be back.

    A cute little breakfast & lunch spot to check out. It's located in Stony Brook Village, and there is ample parking, which is a perk. We sat in Grandpa's Shed bar area, which was nice and quiet, but the restaurant area was packed with every table filled. It did take some time to get served in that area, but once we did, the service was friendly and had good recommendations. The food came out very quickly, but my drink order took a long time, coming out just a few minutes before the food. It was a Tuesday around lunchtime, so it's possible it was just due to the lunch crowd. The main reason I wanted to check this place out is because of the coffee flight. It isn't on the menu, but I saw it on Instagram. You can get a flight for $15, either making your own or the coffee cookie flight that they choose the coffee. It was a bit pricey, but it was definitely very photo worthy and tasty. I got the spicy Benedict for breakfast. It was a good amount of spicy. It was also a bit pricey, at $16.95, but it was delicious. They have a menu with something for everyone. It's worth trying their breakfast or lunch. Get a coffee, get a mimosa flight, or even a cocktail with your meal. It's a great way to start your day.

    Nice food, nice servers, could be a pinch cleaner, but great time! We will be back! Have to try some more sandwiches.

    Sweet Mama's offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with generous portions and consistently satisfying meals. The stuffed French toast and pancakes are standouts--rich, flavorful, and well-prepared. Service is friendly and efficient, and the pricing is reasonable for the portion size. A reliable choice for brunch, breakfast, or a casual lunch in Stony Brook.

    I was in the area, for not so good reasons, but "Sweet Mama's" helped make it better. I've had this place bookmarked for years, so I was happy to come by. Outside the place looks small and quaint, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. When you walk in, you are transported back in time to a 1960 ice cream shop. It's very surprising. I thought that's where we would eat. However the waitress slash hostess came over and escorted us to the restaurant side. The restaurant side is huge! It has a old school feel. It has rusted metal walls and wood paneling. This place felt like a country barn. I never felt more comfortable. After, the waitress came over and took our order. We were there earlier enough so it came out quick. The food was hot, and some advice, come hungry, the portions are huge. But nothing could prepare me for the taste. The grits to start were the center piece. They were cheesy and they gave you enough. The home fries were my second favorite. They had a crunch to them and plenty of flavorful onions. My omelette was great as well. To wash it all down, they gave us a large orange juice. This restaurant is perfect! Come with family or friends, come alone even, just go! Trust me you'll love it. Just again, make sure you're hungry, they got the southern hospitality down packed!

I did make reservations for a party of 4 at 5pm and thankfully I did, because this place does get packed even on a weeknight. We had an extra person join us and thankfully, thankfully, they were able to accommodate our request. We ordered a few Paper Airplanes over Paris, which were delightful. Each one did come (with the same) poem folded on a toothpick. The salted pretzels to share were also nice, pillowy with the perfect amount of salt. For our entrees, it was a mix of Sauerbraten flatbreads, Sauerbraten, and my entree, the Holsteiner (chicken) Schnitzel. Everyone liked their entrees, but I found mind pretty mid. The schnitzel itself, darker than I was used to, but still had a crunch and was tasty. The red cabbage had far too much vinegar for my palate. And the spaetzle it came with, was pretty bland. Almost like eating plain pasta. The seasonal vegetables hidden under the schnitzel were also good. I do think , overall, if you've never been to Germany and are wanting to try authentic German food without travelling to Manhattan or beyond, give Schnitzels a chance! But if you're a self titled expert on schniztel because of one trip to Germany (/s like I), I would find somewhere else.
