Mama's Daughters' Diner

One of those all-American diners. Classic food, great menu. I was here on a Thursday At 10:30. Had a nice breakfast, no waiting. Great Veggie Omelet. Service was appropriate. I want to come back and try the Fried Apricot pie.

Went here for the Wednesday brunch. Order there daily special menu,Vegetable plate and coffee. Service was good and we were served within 5 min. Portion was too good for breakfast.Everything was freshly and nicely prepared. Priced very reasonably a great place for a lazy and less priced weekend brunch .

Country Boy Meets City Slicker. Boy, how do you review Mama's. What point of view or reference should I use. Let's start with the decor. It's a diner with checkboard floors, red vinyl seats and silver swirl tables. Think stereotype diner, and you have it nailed.

Let's move to the servers. All of them wear a mix mash of their personal clothes with a front single apron. All of them appear to be in the upper age brackets (please do not blast me, trying to be factual with what my eyes saw). They are brash, to the point, with no frills. All that is missing from the server look and style is the name Flo on the name tag and a traditional diner hat.

Now let's add the atmosphere. The servers are brash and stereotypical, but if you roll with it, they are simply awesome. Sarah was our server and might best be described as salty. My lunch partner today was a ranchhand that raises cattle. He had Sarah's number. He gave it right back with honey this and sweetie that. Soon she was calling me Leroy. Several times we laughed, hooted and hollered. We threated to stiff her tip, she threatened to upcharge for hardship. It truly truly was fun, enjoyable and laughing.

Now the food. It's just diner servicable. The grilled chicken is placed on a hamburger grill and cooked with low seasoning. The red beans are average. The pot roast was tender, but a little on the fatty side. The brown gravy needed to reduce the salt. The turnip greens were over spiced and a little too salty. While the food was average. I will be back to give Sarah a hard time. I know she will be ready and give it right back and both of us will laugh our heads off.

What you're looking for in a diner. The food is your average diner food, so you know what to expect: greasy, abundant and nothing original at all. This is OK as this is why you go to a diner. Service was fast and friendly. I would go back for sure.

First time eating here, was in the neighborhood and have heard good things. Took a minute to get seated but it was well worth the wait. They were very busy which is always a good sign! Our waitress(Dorenda) was awesome she was probably running about 8 tables but was very sufficient and extremely nice. I had the chicken fried chicken, my wife had the chicken fried chicken. Both outstanding and so were all the sides. Also great portion sizes for the price. Overall great value, great food, but the best was the service which is so hard to find these days. Thank you and we will be back soon!
