4.5 I hadn't been to Mama's Kitchen in over a year at least…read moreand this time picked up a carryout order for six people. Walking in for the order, it was the same wonderful down-to-earth diner ambiance that I love! I have come to believe that carryout can be more difficult for both staff and customers because it needs to be done right at the beginning because there's no opportunity to correct things later- without a return visit. There were a few things that weren't quite right and I'm not sure if it had to do with me reading texts from my family, if I got it wrong, or if it was on the part of the restaurant. No matter, it had to do with side dishes and not main entrees. Still, the little things could have been easily remedied if we had dined at the restaurant- which wasn't an option for many reasons, including the restaurant's limited hours, as they were only open until 3pm on a Sunday. When I picked up the orders, a staff member helped me carry the bags out to my car, which I greatly appreciated. Everyone at this restaurant was super nice! Since we were celebrating my mom's birthday, her entree was the most important and she said the liver and onions were delicious. My nephew was very happy with his chicken chunks. My niece didn't complain about her beef nachos. My brother and sister in law said their orders were just okay - a philly sandwich with onion rings and a turkey sandwich with gravy and onion rings. They said the sandwiches lacked flavor. Since they didn't comment about the onion rings, I'm judging from the photos that they looked amazing. My Turkey Reuben was fabulous, along with the fries. Plus, the side of Thousand Island dressing was perfectly delicious. It's hard to make everyone happy, so my rating is partly based upon my consistently excellent experience at Mama's Kitchen, including omelettes and other breakfast/brunch food. I would overall recommend Mama's Kitchen for its delicious homemade dishes and warm service. Therefore, I'm rounding up to five stars for this unassuming diner that generally over-delivers at a great value for your money!

I was told they don't take reservations but that we could sign in to the waitlist. When we got in there was nobody under our group's name.. not sure if we didn't do it right but was a little confused by that. Either way, we were able to get a table right away, a nice booth in the back at that. It's kid friendly too which is always a plus. There is so much deliciousness on the menu it's great! There is something for everyone and all of it tastes great. I will say the chickichanga I had was a bit spicy but still really good. Also, you have to try the different drinks they have! I got the kale tonic and caramel crunch coffee, both AMAZING! Although if you're lactose intolerant I'd ask for dairy free milk and if you're not into sweet stuff this is probably not for you. I was a little disappointed in the waitress. She was super kind and personable but I felt like she didn't ask enough questions, like when I asked for the coffee she never asked what milk I wanted (I should've clarified but still). I also felt like she didn't show herself enough. It wasn't terribly busy so I felt she could've done better. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The menu has a wide range of options to choose from We got the ham & greyere omelette and added spinach which was one of the best omelettes I've had. The combo was a perfect mix of cheese with the saltiness and flavor of the ham. We also got the avocado toast with the basted egg which was very fresh. They used some very fresh avocados, it seems they used the whole avocado cause we surely weren't lacking. The biscuits and gravy were extremely good. The biscuits had a slight crunch and were freshly made. The turkey gravy was flavorful and light The drinks are premade but also very well done. Slightly on the sweeter side but still well done The restaurant was packed with a 15-20 min wait but there's a community table that we sat at and we were seated immediately, fun hack for couples. Only one other person sat at the table with us so it was like we had to it ourselves, though we wouldn't mind chatting to random strangers. We love this place and will be back

I LOVE THIS PLACE!…read more Definitely one of my favorite spots in Toledo and a bang for your buck! They have everything and anything you would want for breakfast! The nicest people work there and are very welcoming and although they are always busy I never feel rushed out. They do not accept reservations or calling ahead, but do a great job managing the wait times and letting you know about how long you have until you need to wait. Definitely worth the wait time and time again! Pancakes are fluffy, coffee is hot, the people are nice, and there is so many options to choose from! The place is cozy, warm and I love going there. A true Toledo staple in my opinion! I love the scrambles!

Now 4 more folks came n sat at the bar. Somehow their food order got taken and before ours. My man is ticked and about to leave. Ordered a pearmosa which is a woodchuck cider not a mimosa to me. We got a waffle (cold), bacon, grits and the seafood grits. Most were cold. Butter just melted and that's after I heated it up next day. The flavor of the food was good. Just not proper temp, service sucked and the parking sucks. Limited street parking or pay to park lots. Im going to give them some time to grow before trying again.

The carpeting remains the same, and sometimes, you can smell the 70s. Hmm. However, if you're here for the food , you're in luck. I will say that although this is more of a breakfast spot, I like the lunch items better. I love the Super King double burger, the 4 oz Ribeye sandwich, and the fries. I haven't tried the beef Wellington...yet. All the omelettes, and pretty much all the waffles are pretty much about average. Ask Brandon what a "Malted Waffle" is. Some of the other waffle options are cool sounding (cored out waffles with scrambled eggs imbedded, meat cooked into the waffles), but I haven't tried any yet. Even when they're busy, the wait doesn't seem to be that bad. Always inexpensive. Even now Sam and Charlie's feels very much like a throwback to a simpler era, and, the food is good. 4+1 stars.

"Dog shit...fitting for Toledo?" Fitting for Toledo? Fitting for Toledo??Dude...fuck you and your single Mickey Mouse review consisting of 1 short paragraph. And, fuck your GF who wrote the other horse shit review on the same day. Alrighty then... One of other one star reviews focuses on rude service. The guy that wrote it? 7 out of his 8 reviews are 1 star...all based on poor service. Hey, I get it though. Could be a legit gripe. But, I didn't see any of that. For us, the service was accurate, very fast and very friendly. One caveat...we got there just before a flood of customers. If we'd gotten there 20 minutes later, I suspect we'd have had to wait. Atmosphere. Clean, comfortable. Yeah, the decorations, especially the wall decorations are, uh, predictable but eclectic. Farmhouse style signs, signed pics of athletes, Toledo street scenes from across the decades, UT stuff, etc. but like I said, clean and comfortable. The food rates a solid 4 stars. This rating also takes into account the massive menu. Lots of options. The smothered and covered hash browns were great. My son enjoyed the country fried steak, and said that it stacks up favorably to others in town. His eggs needed pepper and salt. My Denver omelet? Excellent. The coffee did NOT taste like dishwater...it tasted like diner coffee. Would I come here for coffee only? Nope. Location: On Bancroft near the 7/11. Very convenient for hung over UT students. This place has been a black hole for diners ever since Rick moved out to Monroe street. Hopefully Steven's Skillet will be around for a while. SOLID 4 STARS!

This bar has been here probably as long as I've been in Toledo and that's over 15 years. When you walk in you see this beautiful bar made out of wood. I don't know who made it but it is gorgeous. They have a nice selection of alcohol for cocktails and Sutter Home type wine. Even a few craft beers for me. They have special events like jazz on Thursday for free with free appetizers and host comedy events on occasion. Only problem is you have to search it out. They don't do a great job of advertising. Now this place has a reputation of being a primarily black bar but I have seen folks of all ethnicities here and they are welcome. The bartenders are semi-friendly depending who you get. Prices are like you would expect being near downtown. AKA overpriced. But the bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is nice. Come check it out
