Mother's Restaurant

Crazy busy, but with food that good it's understandable! It's small, but they have their routine to make sure people will have a place to sit and their food brought to them. Being from the west coast, we'd never heard of red cream soda so we had to try that. Everything was super tasty!

Don't let the decor fool you this place is legit. Food is prepared well, great selection and large serving. We had the mothers breakfast, two eggs, meat toast or biscuit with grits. Busy place but they get you in and out fast.

Great food friendly staff. The environment is very casual so expect excellent food with minimal service. The food is simply excellent. I would 100% come back again and get huge portions had I more time.

This is a deli style establishment. The fried chicken and jambalaya were pretty good. They serve the typical New Orleans comfort foods in a casual setting.

My omelette was soggy. There was a baby cockroach on my coffee. The Grits had no flavor. The omelette wasn’t even that good. The pancakes were dry. The beans were hard as rocks. As soon you pick up the biscuit, it would fall apart. The only good thing is we’re the sausages, they were good. The food was expensive! It was 60 dollars! And the food wasn’t even good! Other than that, I don’t recommend this place.

Yes. This is exactly what everyone says it is. Wait in line. It moves faster than you think. Order at the register. Get your drinks when you pay. Find a seat. They bring you the food. Yes this is a historic building and not much has changed other than the prices it seems. I got a grilled chicken Po-boy and fries. Wife got seafood gumbo and red beans with rice. Good portions = good value. Easily the best Po-boy I ever had. Crusty fresh roll. Fries were above average.

Great place to eat. I ordered to go. The staff was really friendly and the grits with shrimp creole was fantastic. I also enjoyed the biscuit. I am giving 4 stars because I ordered 2 eggs scrambled but didn't receive it. I still recommend

Excellent food. The breakfast special from 7 - 9am is one of the best deals ever. More food than you can even eat. Legendary establishment. Everyone has eaten here!

I hear you really have to come here for breakfast, but unfortunately I’m not the biggest fan of eggs which probably diminished my experience. Legendary place. I had the seafood gumbo (7.5/10 for me as it is good but if you have family / friends from New Orleans who can cook they would do it better) , the baked ham (5/10 as it was honestly way to dry) and the Red Beans (9.1/10 those were freaking delicious!). They have a huge menu tho and I would definitely say it is worth trying!

Lovely New Orleans traditional place! One of the musts for visitors. Sausage and the peace maker was great as well as the bloody mary! Went there for breakfast and had to queue. It was very heavy and fat too! But do not regret going there and would go back for sure.
