Mother's Restaurant

They pile your food on one plate (touches) green & bean juice get on your meat. Shrimp 🍤 poorboy made with coleslaw, sandwich was dry & fries were hard & cold. It was very crowded, so I expected the food to be descent & it looked good. $25 waisted,didn't want to say much cause other ppl were enjoying they're food.

Awesome tasting food served cafeteria style. Portions are generous, prices are great and everything is cooked with LOVE. There’s a lot to pick from on the menu.

I got a sampler platter that had red beans and rice, grits, crawfish etouffee, and jambalaya. Each dish was delicious and flavorful. My friends loved the po boys they had there as well. This is a MUST GO when you’re in town because a lot of other places in the area feel like a tourist traps.

Everything was delicious especially the Shrimp Creole! The portions are a good size. Wish there was cornbread to go with the red beans. Service was excellent

The original New Orleans Po' Boy sandwich experience... Had to wait about 30 minutes in line to get served. Worth the wait though to experience this historic New Orleans eatery and their Famous Ferdi Special.

Good home cooking for breakfast, ordered cafeteria style and brought to your table. Biscuits, cheese grits & debris, and cheese grits & crawfish étouffe were the best. Coffee was hot and we were served a refill. Get there early to avoid the line!

The food was good but the staff was great. There were some concerns about a couple of dishes made but our waitress made everything better. Thanks Daranique 👊🏽

One word...delicious. It was everything we hoped it would be, a restaurant with history and fantastic food, plus friendly service. We went with their famous Po Boy sandwiches, holy cow they are huge. Their ham, roast beef, and debris (which is like a roast) are melt in your mouth good. Try their potato salad, it's a smooth texture but packed with flavor. We also enjoyed their red cream ale. It's a must visit while in New Orleans.

We ordered the regular shrimp creole and seafood gumbo with a quarter fried chicken white meat with the potatoes salad and red beans n rice. After finishing that when we should have been satisfied, it was so good we also ordered another quarter chicken with cheese grits and turnip greens. It takes 30-45 minutes to get your chicken because they make it to order. We could have even eaten more since it was so amazing. They are big portions; we were just gluttonous lol Best Damm chicken I have had.

I give four stars simply because I didn’t get what I ordered. I wanted a fried shrimp poboy with potato salad and cabbage. First of all the cashier repeated my order back to me 3X and said French Fries, I said no cabbage and potato salad every time. The fourth time she said it correctly, but I got fried shrimp with my correct two sides. It was good, shrimp very good, but I wanted to try their poboys. Potato salad looked bland, but still had a good taste and my cabbage was seasoned well, had a huge hunk of ham in my cup. Fried Gulf shrimp platter with my two sides and soft drink came to a little over $25 with taxes. I tipped cash to the deliverer of my food to my table.

Cafeteria style, huge portions, reasonable prices

Fried catfish and oysters are awesome!
Jambalaya is super flavorful

Gumbo was disappointing in comparison

Jambalaya is excellent!
Shrimp creole is excellent!

Bread pudding was tasty.

Poboy was a mess but very tasty

Need to try biscuits and/or breakfast. Breakfast served all day! And they were out of pie :(
