Mama's Daughters' Diner - Breakfast - Soul Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pretty darn good! Showed up a little after 11am for a late breakfast. I got the Mana's favorite breakfast which is 2 eggs, hash browns or grits ( I got hash browns ), biscuit and gravy, and bacon or sausage (I got bacon). Oh and a coffee. Eggs came as I ordered them, it came with 3 pieces of bacon and the bacon was cooked exactly as I like it (chewy!!). The gravy didn't even need much pepper! Got seated immediately and after ordering the food came incredibly fast service. It's a typical diner on the inside, if you've been to a diner you'll know what to expect. read more

Mama's Daughters' Diner - #3 Mamas Favorite Breakfast - Soul Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The place is packed during business hours for good reason, and I hope you don't mind being shoulder to shoulder on the same table as another party that came apart from you. The food is so good that you'll forget where you are as you enjoy the ambiance of home cooking. If you pay too close attention, you may see chaos, but if you focus on who you came with and the food, the experience is a 10/10. P read more

It's not bad, but it's not the best. I went here because I was invited, and I was hoping that it would really be some good food! And not saying that it wasn't but it reminds me of those small town diners in a creepy town. They do have a parking lot with limited parking , and they charge you to park after 3p They were very nice and welcoming, it's not my vibe but I'd definitely let others know to check it out. read more

Mama's Daughters' Diner - #2 Mamas Daughters Special, Chicken & Waffle. - Soul Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ordered for pickup. It was ready very quickly. Hashbrowns were not remotely crispy. Fried egg was very overdone, bread was super cheap, and sandwich did not remotely match the photo they had posted of it which has two plump eggs and on better bread. Sausage gravy had very little sausage in it but the flavor was good. read more

It was the day before Thanksgiving, and we were looking for a breakfast spot before we headed into Dallas to finish our sightseeing. This restaurant is in an industrial section of town, which gives a kind of a sketchy vibe, but don't let that put you off. We were seated quickly, and while we were looking at the menu, we watched as tables towering with pies and other Thanksgiving items were being picked up. With that huge amount of pre-orders, you have to know that the food here is good. My boyfriend got biscuits and gravy, and I got the pecan waffle. My boyfriend loved the sausage gravy, and he actually said that this was the best gravy he's ever eaten. My pecan waffle was fabulous - nice thick, Belgian waffle filled with pecans. As we kept seeing pies getting picked up, we knew it was too late to order one for our own Thanksgiving, but they had pies by the slice so we were able to take two pecan pie slices with us to go. We ate those the next day, and thought we had died and gone to heaven! I wish we lived closer so that we could return to this delicious spot, I would highly recommend you give it a try! read more

Great place for amazing American no frills food! Service is great also with many attentive waiters and servers that are always within reach. It's a flash back army but it's a great trip down memory to a time when people interacted with others in the same space and surroundings. Great for that reason you can't help to speak to people and talk to those around you. read more

Mama's Daughters' Diner - Soul Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I had lunch here yesterday at this Dallas area institution with 5 locations and this one being the original. It's a meat and three type of restaurant serving home style cooked meals. There is dedicated parking all around the building and inside it's a table service restaurant. The menu offers several breakfast and lunch entrees along with daily specials. From the Thursday specials I chose the braised beef tips over rice with sides of mashed potatoes and brown gravy, fried okra and large Lima beans and rolls for $11.95. The food arrived less than 10 minutes later. I enjoyed every bite (almost). The beef and rice, mashed potatoes and gravy with two big fluffy rolls and the fried okra were delicious. Loved it. My only complaint was the Lima beans were over salted. This was the only reason I didn't give a 5. Finally, the waitress was warm and friendly. I would readily come back here for another meal. Great tasting food at reasonable prices. Mama did a good job in teaching her daughters how to cook! read more

Came here at around 11 or 12 on a Sunday and there was no wait!! It was a bustling diner but it was not loud at all, just the quiet hum of voices and cooking. Our service was speedy, our server very kind and the food was delicious!! I loved the pancake, beans, and the sugar free syrup option. There are vegetarian and gluten free options, and limited vegan options. Parking and paying after was a breeze. We will have to come back! read more

What a delightful spot for breakfast that truly lives up to the hype. I had the #2, which included French toast that was nothing short of superb. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the turkey patty sausage added an extra flavorful touch. My husband opted for the biscuits and gravy accompanied by country-fried steak and eggs, and he was equally impressed. Service by Susie was attentive and prompt. It's worth noting that our plates were clean before we even thought to snap a photo--a testament to how good the food was! The diner also has a fun atmosphere, highlighted by T-shirts featuring "Mama's quotes" that add a unique charm. Overall, it's a fantastic place for families to gather for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Highly recommended & we will certainly B-Back!! The Brewer's read more

I consider myself a regular. I have always received great service here. Like any restaurant some dishes are better than others. You just got to find your favorite. This place does get packed at lunch but food comes out fast. For lunch, I recommend the Roast Beef in Brown Gravey, Fried Okra, Corn Bread, and another side of your choice. Delicious! For breakfast, I like to get the Sausage and Biscuits with Gravey, sometimes with eggs. The Biscuits are just basic and simple, but they are sure are good and flavorful and fresh n hot. Overall the prices are good for the portions you get and you get alot of food. This is dinner food, so expect dinner quality. It is not the greatest, but it beats most other breakfast places. Personally, I like the food and will continue to eat here every week. read more

Unfortunately today's breakfast felt like they've lost a step....while I've been here several times since the "great shut down" the food seemed average today Everyone's trying to cut corners while maintaining quality and good prices. However,they're on the edge of, at least my breakfast was. I'll just chalk it up to an off morning in the kitchen. I'm definitely not giving up on them after years of awesome breakfast and lunches.. I'll Be Back! read more

Good home cooking. The food was cooked the way i ordered it. The eggs and bisquits were excellent.

Just west of downtown design near Design District, you'll find Mama's Daughters' Diner. Immediately upon walking in the ambiance gives off as the local neighborhood breakfast spot. It's extensive menu allows for multiple options to customize breakfast favorites. Not to mention the low prices make it that much better. Servers continues float the floor offering coffee refills. Mama's Daughters' is definitely worth of try if you desire local over chain! read more

I haven't been to a Mama's Daughters' Diner since about a decade ago! It was a different location but I remember loving the food, so I decided to stop by and check out this location. The service was amazing and quick, even though it was a busy lunch day. The waitress was very attentive and the food was AMAZING. Huge portions and everything tasted great. We will definitely be back! read more

This is a lunch and breakfast place and just what you'd expect from the name. It has a very southern feel with grits (yum!) and huge portions but otherwise is very standard diner. The combo meals have good sized portions and they have turkey sausage! I took many pictures of the signs inside the restaurant and completely forgot to take pictures of my food. Everything seems to come out made to order, though no substitutions on the combos. I do recommend it if what you want is a diner style breakfast or just to check the place out for all the fun sayings all over the restaurant. The service was perfect and very friendly. She came back to check on us many times and kept the coffee and the waters topped off! read more

Mama's Daughters' Diner - Biscuits and gravy - Soul Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Well today my friend and I had a soul food taste. We said let's go to Momma's and Daughters, it's been a minute. OK, not a good day I have to let You know. The lunch special for today was Chicken Tetrazinni, Meatloaf is what we ordered with three sides. My entire plate was lukewarm. The fried okra was even lukewarm. The greens were the same. The butter beans were over cooked, the Tetrazinni was not gonna make it any better. It had way too much cheese and it was yellow with very little chicken on top of being cold. I left all my Tetrazinni and fried okra! We said lets go. At the check out. There is no price on the ticket. So he said 21.83, I turned around to see who he was talking to, he laughed. I said oh, OK! It will be a while before I eat there again. The reason for the 2 stars is because, the waitress was kind, It was crowded but not worth the cash!! Thanks for listening! One Love and unity!! read more

We were looking for a good breakfast place near where we were staying and the choices were Dennys and then we found this place that was just around the corner by car if you are staying at the Hilton Anatole. I know it's a little further on foot because you have to walk out of the hotel parking lot and over one of the bridges to get to it. But let me tell you it is well worth it. I love this place. It has that southern charm outside and inside. I was able to eat here twice during my last visit and both times I ordered the big Texas Breakfast i believe it is the #1. I ordered it with toast the first time and with biscuits and gravy the second time. What's nice is they serve it on the side instead of drowning everything. Now I am picky about my biscuits and gravy and this is one of the best I have had. Even if you just get the biscuits alone they are worth it. I also got the Chicken fried Steak both times. I was delicious even without the gravy. I also ordered the hash browns but wish I had ordered the grits. The way i know this place is good food is because I saw police, construction workers, city workers all eating from this place. They always know where the best spots are. I also wish I had gotten to try the pies. They looked and sounded delicious. Oh well next time I am in Dallas I will have to stop in. What is nice is there is no expensive parking fee if you are driving unlike a lot of the places in the Arts District. So keep that in mind. My server was great her name is Steffanie. And the service was very quick both times. read more

Best southern breakfast I had while visiting Dallas! Everything was hot, fresh and came out so fast! This place runs like a well oiled machine! The restaurant had a constant hustle and bustle but not one person. Missed a beat! I loved the old school feel and originality that has been preserved through the years, it really added alot of charm and nostalgia to the place. I highly recommend stopping in for breakfast if you're looking for a good home style meal! read more

When I got there she couldn't find my order then said oh it's a online order- she printed the ticket and then sent it to the kitchen I had to wait 25 mins for them to cook it- Never apologized, didn't ask me if I wanted a drink, wanted to sit down. So I will rate them a 2 for now, gotta understand what customer service is. The food is good, service is lacking read more
