We go to Mom's about once a week, and we always have a fantastic experience. We have noticed that the quality has really improved. The service is always very good, everyone is so nice, and really make you feel welcome. We have started to go more often, they now have 3 course dinners mon-thurs for $19.95. They also started to carry a bigger variety of desserts, the last time we were there, someone was buying a dozen butter tarts to take to work. Great job Mom's, you are fantastic.
We went for breakfast on Saturday Oct 22/11.
We were so dissapointed with the service we got. The food was average at best and the price was well above what it should be.
Our coffees refilled only came when we requested them.
We waited for long for the waitress to finally come and take our orders.
My friends and I have been going to Mom's for years for breakfast on Sundays. At first when we heard the Corson's were selling we were worried that we may not have a breakfast hang out location anymore, but we are pleasantly surprised that the new owners have kept up the good work and exceeded our expectations!
The food is AMAZING! now you can get poached eggs all day everyDAY and the EGGS BENEDICT are the best in town.
Our food was hot, and delicious, our server was efficent and super friendly. The kitchen staff was amazing, someone in the party has a gluten allergy and our server asked the chef to cook his food in a seperate pan and it was no problem at all! Thank you! so often we feel bad for asking this...but she assured us they woudl do it without a doubt!
We had a great time, the food was super and no one was rushing us out like they used too...we left full and happy!
Highly recommend giving this place a chance, even if you have had a bad experience! The new owners took over in the fall and they have done a great job! KUDOS
ok, so after reading a lot of TERRIBLE reviews my party and I almost didn't come to Mom's but we heard through the grapevine there was a new owner, real chefs working there and that the staff actually enjoyed working now.
So we went for a late lunch/dinner and as soon as we arrived the sweetest lady we have ever met greeted us at the door. She was very polite, very happy to see us and very helpful as my aunt had a wheelchair so we needed a seat that was accessible for her.
The hostess gave us our menus, and let us know our server would be right over. The server came over, smiling and got us our drinks with 3 minutes of sitting down. One thing we all noticed right away EVERYONE who was there was smiling!!!!
When the server came back to deliver the drinks, she told us the dinner features, soups and even recommended what she thought we would like! So we listened to her advice and ordered the Prime rib, it was cooked to perfection the way we like it. the meat was so juicy and tender, the potatoes delightful and eventhough none of us are big veggie eaters they were GREAT!
The food didn't take long to get, maybe a little longer because someone at the table had a chicken parmigiana but it was worth the wait.
We went to the salad bar, which looked fab all fresh and fully stocked up for a busy night.
The server brought us refills, cleared our plates almosy immeadiately upon finishing and then she gave us a run down of the desserts.
We had heard the pies were to die for but didn't literally believe they were.
Our server recommended the Chef's homemade pecan pie, and we were delighted!!!!
when we were leaving not only did our server thank us, the hostess did , the chef thanked us through the window and as the new owner walked in she also thanked us for our business.
We will be back and we will be recommending the NEW mom's to EVERYONE!!!!
So for anyone who reads the reviews and second guess giving this little gem a try keep in mind, new owners have taken over and they are really spicing things up. They have a kitchen staff that are all trained in their field including a red seal chef, who was cooking when we were there and he is PHENOMENAL! And lovely wait staff who are a pleasure to dine with, we felt right at home. Thank you Mom's staff for a super night out!!!! Like I said we will back!!!!!
My coworkers and I heard about Mom's and thought we would try it for lunch, as is our habit every week. After waiting for the overworked waitress to acknowledge us, we were seated. The menu was pretty simple, nothing to interesting. I ordered the lunch platter, which consisted of a very plain sandwich (my own are much more interesting!) and had to ask for extra ingredients, like cheese, mayo, tomatoes! everything was ala cart. And I think it came with some 'old' tasting coleslaw and it was just a bit underwhelming and very very average. My co-workers had something else, but we cant even remember what it was! It was just a cafeteria lunch, barely worth the trip. And a bit more expensive than what we do pay at the cafeteria.
