    Fish and grits
    Isana A.

    The place is relatively small, but they keep customers flowing in and out and are consistently packed even on a Tuesday morning! The customer service was great. Literally anything you needed there was a button on the table and a waitress would come by to help. The fish and grits were phenomenal, but the crab cakes and grits were also good if you want something a little different. Local spot but would happily return any day bc of the kind customer service. They even bought out a celebration pancake set for a kindergarten graduation.

    I absolutely love mamas diner. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots. The food was so delicious and affordable and the service is always great. The workers are very friendly and always make you feel welcomed as if we're one big family. I really love how this restaurant feels like a safe space for diversity too! I definitely recommend.

    Hot green tea

    My first visit and definitely it my last. A group of approximately 20 ladies dined at Mama's on a Saturday morning. From the the time we walked in to the dine we left, the staff was fantastic. The promptly took our beverage order followed by our food order. The food came out hot and in a timely manner. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out Candy 5; the robot assistant. Candy 5 played a few variations of the birthday song and just added to the spirit of the group. Mama graciously agreed to take a few group pictures for us and even danced while we sang the birthday song. In order scrambled egg whites, Belgium waffles, and turkey sausage links. The food was delicious, and I washed it down with hot green tea. Some of the ladies in our group are frequent diners and they enjoy the fish and grits . So that will be my meal next time.

    It's so location is really lowkey and unassuming, but why you step inside it is beautiful. They had this really cute butler robot to help with servicing tables. Very warm and welcoming. The service is fast and friendly service. I had a bacon, egg, & cheese breakfast sandwich & coffee, both were really good. Solid breakfast restaurant!

    Salmon Cake and Grits

    We stopped into Mama's diner with the family after church. It's such a cute and cozy spot! I started out with a peach Arnold Palmer. It was so good! For my entree I got the fish and grits. It was very good. My husband got the chicken and waffles, but opted to get wings instead of the breast that typically comes with the dish! Omg! That chicken is so yummy! It was crunchy and coated with a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. My father got French toast with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. My mom got salmon cakes and grits. Needless to say, my fork traveled around the table and everything I ate was good! The servers were prompt and kind. There is a button at the table for you to call the waitstaff, if they are not visible. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    The food is pretty good the customer service is outstanding but be prepared to pay close to 20 bucks for a 2 pancake platter with 2 small eggs 1 meat and 1 bev.. this ain't worth 18 bucks

    My family and I were looking for a bite to eat after church and were told that we had to come here. As soon as we went in I was impressed by how nice the restauraunt was with the trendy design and friendly vibe. The service was attentive and friendly which helped for a good experience, just in case they missed you there is a button on the table to call someone to the table. I was told to order the chicken wings and they didn't disappoint, they were amazing. My other relatives at the table also agreed how amazing they were. I also enjoyed the waffles that were packed with flavor and cooked extremely well. Anytime I go back to that area that is the first place I'm stopping in.

    Breakfast Platter with grits, cheese eggs and bacon.
    Cassandra M.

    The food here is absolutely delicious. I've only had breakfast food so far. The portions are worth the price. Could definitely feed two people. The prices for a side of breakfast meat is pricey. It was $6.75 for a piece of scrapple. Can't wait to try something else. She also puts nice notes. Only gave 4 stars due to the meat price.

    Do they take reservations?

    It's not that type of place. They have seating for about 30. It's real casual. I'm told Sundays they are really, really busy. But to my knowledge, they do not take reservations.

    There's a hidden gem in Elkins Park - a small bakery near the SEPTA station. I've been there…read moreseveral times and it's been a wonderful experience each time. We went there this morning to pick up a raisin challah - we were making French Toast! The challah is excellent - rich, soft and sweet, it has a tender, delicious taste. The raisins added an extra touch of sweetness to the French Toast. Then there are the numerous pastries and cookies. We decided to get a few Hamentashen (chocolate and poppy), a raspberry croissant, a chocolate and a raspberry rugelach, and the most amazing looking Sticky Bun. I'll start with the Sticky Bun. It was exceptional; a soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy dough - challah like, but denser. It was laced with a sticky, caramelized glaze, studded with raisins and walnuts. It was 'melt in your mouth delicious', and a must try. Next up - the raspberry croissant. This is not your typical croissant - I'm used to the plain, or chocolate - I can't recall having a raspberry croissant before. It's one of the best I've had. It combines a flaky buttery croissant with a sweet, tart raspberry filling. The Hamentashen were good - the chocolate was better than the poppyseed - as the later needed much more Mohn (poppyseed paste). The rugelach was good; the raspberry was too sticky, but the chocolate was fine. If you're near Elkins Park, and you haven't tried Rolings Bakery, it's time you did!

    Terrific bakery. Best challah. Great bagels. Everything is truly delicious. I am happy they are in…read moremy neighborhood.
