Mamas Kitchen - a breakfast burrito on a plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

From the check in to paying the bill this place is tops. You may have to wait but there is a reason for that. The food here was delicious and the service was on point. I had 2 eggs, rye toast, pancake, has browns and delicious sausage links. My coffee cup was never empty. We had six people and had to wait 20 minutes for a table glad everyone agreed to wait. We for sure will be back! read more

The most wholesome restaurant ever! The food was crazy good and the service was spectacular. There was a bit of a wait (expected on a Sunday morning) but there were so many workers that were all working so hard customers were consistently in and out. We got the country fried steak, french toast, and biscuits and gravy and all were exceptional. Food came out quickly and the best part was it was SO CHEAP. The owner thanked us after taking our payment, even though he was busy taking phone orders and hosting (very respectable of him since you don't see that a lot nowadays). This is a place worth gatekeeping but also supporting forever!!! read more

A perfect diner! Fast and friendly and delicious. Exactly what it should be! In town for the Saints Bucs game and could not be happier with stumbling on this gem! read more

A 4.5 from me. Service was incredibly fast & the servers handled my crazy family with grace. Outstanding wait staff! Portions were excellent, my family left full and happy. The only thing that got marks was really the space. Parking is tight as well as the seating because the place is always packed full. I have driven past here multiple times & always see a crowd. Not a bad thing, but I personally don't want to have to fight to feed my family. Also, a military discount would be nice, but not a dealbreaker read more

Was in town for work and happened upon this place for breakfast. I must say that it was probably THE fastest sit down breakfast I have ever received! Place is very clean, staff is very efficient and friendly and appears to be tons of return customers, which is a great sign! I love that they also support military and police and aren't afraid to say it! Would definitely recommend Mama's Kitchen! read more

Their breakfast burritos are so good. They are very busy on weekends so be prepared to wait a bit for a table.

This is your classic local old Tampa yummy spot. I will admit...When you walk in the place it has dingy walls and old furniture. But the staff is very friendly and the food is great! We are avoiding carbs and they were happy to accommodate. I am also allergic to pork and they accommodated for that as well. My eggs were cooked perfectly. The beef kielbasa was amazing. My husbands omelet was huge and he loved every bite! This place was filled with locals. The prices are great too! I have driven past this place on sundays and their is never a parking space left. Today I was glad to give it a try! read more

Decided to stop in for some breakfast before going grocery shopping with my husband. Every breakfast place we went to had a at least a 30 min wait, then we stumbled upon this gem. Straight to the point breakfast, no frills. I had the corn beef hash meal and it was delish, it hit the spot. My husband and I split the french toast which was great. Portions are large, so unless you have a big appetite you'll definitely be able to split or take some home or to work. Also the food came out quickly which was a plus because I was starving from my morning run. Military peeps, its right up the street from one of the MacDill gates. It is definitely worth a try if you're in town TDY! read more

Mamas Kitchen - Sausage breakfast, Corn beef hash, and French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

A community staple. Will forever bring my family here. We enjoy seeing the family when we go and seeing that everyone is doing fine. Classic breakfast items. Choose anything. You can't go wrong. read more

This is truly a small diner. We were a bit worried by outward appearance. We were seated quickly surrounded by many regulars. Waitress a bit curt but was busy. We had veggie omelet and hash browns and scrambled eggs with corn beef hash and grits with biscuit and gravy on the side. The coffee was good but not great and the food was good, biscuit was great!. It is a true dinner experience. read more

Great locally owned restaurant! Food is always great and service is always fantastic!

Quality of food was less than acceptable. Server was stretched to serve too many tables. Too many other good places from which to choose.

Love the breakfast here! The gentleman that runs the register is always so sweet to my little girl! She knows exactly where to go for her lollipop read more

No receipt offered or given, no recourse for overcharge. Everything was fine until checkout. Gyro read more

Excellent breakfast, it's like going back in time! Great old-fashioned food with old-fashioned service. I had the breakfast burrito and my hubby had the standard bacon, eggs and hash browns- he declared it the best breakfast ever - perfectly cooked eggs over medium. Highly recommend! read more

This is your typical home style mom and pop diner. Their club sandwiches and BLT's are great for lunch, but they have so many options to choose. My go to's are the clubs for lunch and they make some great Bacon egg and cheeses or sausage egg cheese on bagels for breakfast ! read more

For $23 we just had the best breakfast. My husband got eggs, bacon, home fries, grits and toast. I got the Western Omelette with home fries. My daughter got the French toast, 2 eggs, and chocolate milk. Plus 2 coffees. For the record we are stuffed to the gills and won't be eating the rest of the day. This is a true NY style diner in every sense from the decor, to the staff, to the food. I can't wait to come back and have the lamb shank. Don't expect a fru-fru First Watch or Keke's breakfast joint. This is a diner with hearty food and great value. If you are hungry in the South Tampa area- it's definitely worth a visit. Ps: Their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. My daughter also says the French toast was amazing. read more

I tried this place, for the first time, last weekend. I ordered the mama's special with French toast, with a side of hash brown. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be returning. read more

Mamas Kitchen - French toast, eggs, and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Totally fine diner food served by slightly salty wait staff. This place has fairly typical diner food. Mostly breakfast food but also burgers and grilled sandwiches. I had a patty melt. It was a little underseasoned. It started out well, but the second half was soggy. I got it "Deluxe," which means it came with fries and Cole slaw. The cole slaw was generic cole slaw. The fries were crispy but unsalted. Maybe it is because I'm not a regular, but my service was lacking the typical small diner experience. No friendly waitress calling me honey. No constant refilling of my iced tea. My overall experience was okay. I have other places I'd rather go for a meal in the area. read more

I found this Place on Yelp! after my wife and I left the Tax Collector's office getting the last vehicle registered. We both were in the mood for breakfast food and with over 300 pictures, this place seemed like a good choice. I was put off by the fact that the restrooms are outside and the overall appearance of the restaurant from the outside didn't seem very inviting to me. Still, we came in and were told to sit wherever we wanted and the server would come clean the table for us... never experienced that before. We both ordered the French toast, with bacon and sausage patties, respectively, home fries, scrambled eggs with cheese. I must say that the food was surprisingly REALLY good, although I wouldn't rate it as high as KeKe's and I'm not sure I'd pay as much as I pay when we eat at KeKe's again. The Arnold Palmer was great, not too sweet at all. The server never introduced herself and that's a pet peeve of mine. Also, I'm not comfortable eating at an establishment where the burly host hovers over you. All in all, I have to give them a C for their grade based overall upon aesthetics, food quality and service. By the way, the restrooms AREN'T in the restaurant, they're outside and as long as they're open, the restrooms are publicly accessible. That being said, DON'T USE THEIR RESTROOMS, especially female patrons. Use the ones at the RaceTrack gas station next door. read more

Great service and delicious, fresh, made to order food. Place is small, but so comforting and the family makes everyone feel so welcomed z

Mama's Kitchen was amazing! We were sat right away and felt welcomed immediately. It is small, but mighty. My family of 4 all ordered breakfast and we left full and happy. read more

Only a few in the area that open very early (6am). From the outside, thought it is a budget friendly breakfast. Surprisingly, not considered cheap, but portion is generous and ingrediencies are fresh. read more

They have finished their inside remodel. Thus is my go to place for breakfast in South Tampa. It is not a chain restaurant, just a good old-fashioned dinner. If you haven't been go will not disappoint. read more

Great local diner style restaurant with good breakfast and lunch options. I've been here a few times and tried different items each time with all being good choices. Seem to be a lot of regulars here which usually indicates a good choice and value. The one drawback is it fills up quickly and parking is a little limited. If you're in the area and looking for some down home cooking, definitely swing by. read more

It is so nice to have a diner in S Tampa. They seem to be disappearing from the landscape. I like a place where I can get a good breakfast anytime or liver and onions, served with real mashed potatoes and gravy. This is the kind of place where many customers are greeted by name and the servers have worked there for years. It's not fancy but you are going to be served homemade food. The atmosphere is as welcoming as the plates of good basic food that sale by your table. There are daily specials that will probably require a doggie bag as they come with homemade soup or salad and are very hearty. I saw a chicken pot pie today that made me wish I had ordered it. A real S Tampa jewel. read more

My friend and I randomly decided to go here for breakfast because we were looking for somewhere simple.. and we enjoyed it. It's small so I can imagine when it's super busy there would be a wait but luckily we got right in. I ordered a cheese omelette and hash browns and I was very happy when it came out and there was a lot of hash browns which is my fav. The omelette was good also. Definitely big portions here so you won't leave hungry. The pricing here is great and I like how you can purchase pretty much every item separately. They don't accept American Express. read more

So my bestie and I tried two other of our fave brunch spots and they were packed with long waits. So what do two women with woman hanger do? Call around. Found this place via Yelp and they had no wait so we decided to check them our. Glad we did. Homegood cooking. Small place but nice. The staff were very nice and personable. I had the corned beef with eggs, potatoes and grits and my friend had Mama's special (I had some of her pancakes...don't judge). I prefer fresh corned beef has rather than canned but theirs was really good. The grits were creamy and the potatoes were crispy. My friend also enjoyed her breakfast and her pancakes were tasty. I would come back here when in the south Tampa area. Friendly service and good food. Come and pop by if nearby. read more

Mamas kitchen offers home cooked meals with Greek flavors and hospitality. I go here often and always feel welcome like family. The breakfasts are great and the lunches are to die for. Many times I'll have lunch for breakfast if I'm running a bit late and the lunch menu is available. The lamb shanks, pork chops, and mojo pork are my favorites. I can honestly say you won't be disappointed. The staff will go out of there way to please you. Tell them James sent you. read more

My spouse and I stop and eat there each time we visit the MacDill commissary. About twice each month. The food is always delicious. We always have more than we can eat. Even when we order just two plain tuna sandwiches. No fries or nothing. The lettuce, onions, and tomatoes are always fresh and the tuna in not soggy. All the food is just fine as far as we are concerned. Never heard anyone complain. read more

Small, quaint, mom & pop style restaurant. Excellent breakfast potatoes. Friendly service.
