Mother's Restaurant

The service here is very fast, everything is already prepared and served on demand so the line moves very fast. If you don’t want to stand in line go on weekdays afternoons. I didn’t really like the service, people basically ignore you they don’t tell you how the system works so I was standing near the door for 10mins just to be polite, after asking one of the staff who seemed busy in his chitchat, he just rudely handed me the menu and ask me to give the order over the counter. When the food came the plates were dirty and the food is below average as compared to other places in New Orleans. I ordered coffee and it seem to be made from spoiled milk, I did feel any special about the restaurant as I heard on the internet. So basically it was a okay experience.

A MOUSE RUNNING AROUND while we eat is not what anyone wants! SERVICE: is mediocre at best. We stood up in lime to get in, then another line to order, then waited for our food to get to the table. FOOD: husband had the jambalaya n he says it was good; I has Gumbo and it was flavorless. I had to add salt & pepper. For the prices, this cafeteria-like place should offer better flavors, and definitely a more sanitary conditions- NO mice should be running around!!!!! No wonder you pay before you sit down to eat! (Secure payment in case you see the mouse and decide to leave!!). I wouldn’t recommend it!! 12/26/2022

I first ate here in 2008. 14 years later it hasn't changed one bit. And that's a great thing! We ate here twice on our recent family trip to New Orleans. Best breakfast in the city. The crawfish étouffer omelet is something truly special. As are their smoked sausages. Service is quick and to the point, but always friendly. I look forward to eating here any time I'm in town.

Our hotel was across the street so I walked over & grabbed some black ham, egg & cheese biscuits to go & OMG!! This was well worth the wait in line. The food at Mother's was the best we had during the whole week in NOLA.

Between the ambiance, staff interaction, and ordering/dining style Mother’s make you feel like you’ve almost taken back a step in time. I will say it looks small when you first enter, but the seating continues to appear the farther you go back. Highly recommend checking it out, it was definitely delicious.

Went to New Orleans for a concert, had time before so had to get my Roast Beef Po'boy. It had been a few years since being there last. They've changed up the fixin's, shredded cabbage, slight mayo w/creole &yellow Mustard! What? I didn't say anything, went ahead and ordered the Large po'boy, a side a cheesy grits and a Mother's big buttermilk biscuit. The grits were amazing, soooo good, creamy, they were the bomb!! The biscuit, I ate here at home for breakfast , it was so good also. Now, the sandwich, it was ok, IMO, I couldn't get the cabbage or the mustards? Didn't work for me, I needed more aus ju, which I forgot to ask for. We will be back next trip. Very busy place!!

Good for what it is. Down home food, great taste. Cafeteria rules, don't really have wait staff they're more like food delivery people. Get your own coffee. If you come here long enough to have to go and you'll be glad you did. Go there for the food and you won't be dissapointed. Recommend the crawfish etoufee omlette.

Great food! The biscuits and blackberry jelly were wonderful! Had Mae's omelette and blueberry muffin. It took a while to get the omelette (the rest of the table was done eating before it arrived), but it was fresh and tasted great.

Mother's is the greatest name to describe the feel & taste of your visit...just like home!
Shrimp Creole is sooo good. Go ahead & get the large. Best pancakes in town!

A very popular diner style joint. In the morning, line can get really long going around the block. The food is good and price is just right.
