Mother's Restaurant

I don’t know how this place is only 4.1 stars. Mothers really exceeded my expectation. I ordered a small famous Ferdi with au jus. The sandwich was MASSIVE and they did not skimp on the meat. It was definitely love at first bite. I didn’t know how I would like a sandwich with mayonnaise mustard cabbage and pickles would taste with au jus but it really came together in holy matrimony. The beef was juicy and moist.

However I didn’t stop there. I was so full but decided to get another dish to make sure this wasn’t a one off.

Ordered the grits with shrimp. I got soup like shrimp that was sort of like gumbo on top of the grits. I thought it wouldn’t be good and even made a face of disappointment because I expected fried shrimp. This meal BLEW MY MIND. It’s easily the best grits in New Orleans. The shrimp also packed so much flavour.

I loved this place. Easily one of my favourites

Service was good,there was a line but it got short quick. Dining room was huge. Staff was attentive. The soft shell crab po boy was fresh, the jambalaya flavorful.

Definitely a must try when in NOLA, dinned here many times while visiting, great breakfast, great po’boys, love the creamy potato salad, green beans, rice & beans is excellent and baked ham
Love the decor. There is parking next to restaurant get a ticket and have it marked by waiter to get reduce fee. There is a quite a bit of wait at times so be patient

You always know a good place in NOLA when there is a long line of people waiting outside and Mothers doesn't disappoint once you get inside. Homemade biscuits, cheesy grits and lots of options for Cajun meats to top it. Strong chicory coffee is just what you need after a night out in New Orleans. We love Mothers. ❤️

Based on reviews I read previously I was excited to try this place. However, I was kind of disappointed. Maybe I didn't order the right thing. The grits were delicious. But the catfish was not good at all. No seasoning. Just very bland

There was a line out the door for a reason.. I have to say that this was probably the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. I could not stop raving about this meal. Portions are big, service was great and the line moves fast. If I ever visit again, this will definitely be somewhere I go to again!

How in the lords name is this place, at the moment, a 4.1 star restaurant?!?! Those who gives Mothers anything below a 5 star are factually losing it. If you’re in New Orleans RUN at full speed to this place - if there is a line outside, do not be discouraged… just spend some time in line and build up a little more of an appetite to devour Mothers food!

Service is fast and straight forward. Staff is nice and food is delicious. I wanted to order everything on menu. Definitely recommend their jambalaya 10/10

It's a great place for breakfast. Make sure you either get here early or be ready to stand in line for a while.
It's a NOLA institution that's worth a trip though. The different types of ham are good. I prefer the black over baked. Biscuits are good and the pancakes are standard fare.

Definitely a “must eat” for NOLA breakfast. Southern classics offered here and they’re not to be missed. The sausage and cheesy grits were the highlights of my meal there.
