Mother's Restaurant

I recently had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. I must say, the food was absolutely delightful. The dishes had a homemade quality to them, with flavors that reminded me of the delicious meals I enjoy in the comfort of my own home.
The menu offered a variety of options, and everything I tried was delicious. From the hearty breakfast options to the comforting lunch specials, each bite was packed with flavor and made me feel right at home. The quality of the ingredients and the care put into the preparation truly shone through in every dish.
While the restaurant is not an expensive restaurant, I did find the prices slightly higher than expected considering the overall experience. However, given the taste and quality of the food, I still found it to be a worthwhile dining experience.
The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.
If you're looking for a satisfying and tasty meal, I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.

They don’t need my stars because they have such an excellent reputation without Google. But, I want to give them all my stars. I’ve been in town three days and already been there twice- dinner and then lunch. Shrimp creole with grits was incredible. The Ralph- amazing. Buttermilk biscuits- out of this world. Don’t miss this restaurant- it is worth the line!! Oh, and try the bread pudding!!

I visited New Orleans twice, in both times I visited this establishment. 1st time I was underwhelmed. the restaurant was crowded and the food was mediocre. I came with a party of four and all of us were disappointed with our meals. Being told that this was a staple in New Orleans. Two years later I decided to visit with my husband, thinking I may have judged them to harshly. This time I visited it wasn't as crowded but the food was less than mediocre. My husband said the chicken was dry and wasn't very tasty. My Po Boy was packed with meat but flavorless to say the least.
And the mixture of hot and cold meats threw me off. My gumball was edible but uneventful. So disappointed, I truly believe that this place is over priced and overrated.
The only thing good I have to say is that they have very nice service. The wait staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. Oh I enjoyed my fruit punch.

10 out of 10 must try again. This place was delicious. We went for lunch one day during my conference and turned around and went back for dinner and lunch the next day. Food was delicious and the service was okay. We sat in the third room where the bar was and the nice gentleman ( Caucasian young man very tall) was very attentive despite being the only person working that section. He deserves a raise and a title change.

If you're ever in New Orleans, please stop in and have a taste. Everything was delicious but the grill fish was seasoned by my ancestors and I loved it.

Here's the short version: the service is excellent; The portions are gigantic; and some of the food is really good and some of it is rather average in my opinion and my experience of going to soul food restaurants for more than 50 years.
If you're a soul food fan, and I mean a serious fan, there may be better options. But if your vacationing in New Orleans and looking for a plentiful meal that two could share, mothers is an excellent affordable option.

The food was great and the team was amazing. The ham was delicious and moist. The cheesy grits were very flavorful. The red beans and rice were spot on. I had the debris sandwich and it was AMAZING! They also have a homemade spicy vinegar concoction that really married well with the beef. Will definitely be back.

There is a reason that this restaurant always has a line and is always busy. Even though it seems like a fast food diner, the food is surprisingly tasty. I ordered the seafood extra extra. If you order that, you better like things fried. My catfish was good. My shrimp was decent. My oysters were wonderful. Unfortunately, the first time I went I ordered the greens. They are a little overcooked and a little too tangy. I also ordered the red beans and rice which was a little heavy on the rice and light on the beans. The second time, I ordered the cheese grits which were astoundingly good. And I ordered the green beans with tomatoes. A little different than I was expecting but still good. The gumbo was quite good, but the jambalaya was a little too dry. The bread pudding is so good you will want to order your weight in it.

Hmmm where to begin with this one? The service and Mimosas are good. The food looks good but lacks seasoning. The grits are creamy but bland. Biscuits are fluffy. Catfish fried to perfection, but again the seasoning is lacking. Hot sauce should be an option, not a requirement for seasoning.
Not sure if the food is always like this. Essence Fest weekend applied a significant amount of pressure on the local businesses.

Making my rounds trying as much food as possible in The Big Easy. Mother’s restaurant was recommended by local friends of a chef we sat with on our flight. I had the Shrimp Creole and bread pudding. They were both delicious, although they didn’t photograph particularly well. Service was great and there was plenty of seating and little wait. My husband had the ham, but maintains, his is better. :-) He loved the green beans. A friend had the gumbo and she loved it. I have another place on my list to try the gumbo though.
I am in foodie heaven!

Not only is the hospitality warm,welcoming and friendly. The food is over the top delicious. Just can't pick one favor. Everything I put in my mouth was so scrumptious. Soft shell crab is a must. You definitely won't be disappointed if you eat here.
