    I can see why this is worth the hype! The croutons are genuinely soooo good. Very crunchy and definitely something you can't get in a grocery store! I've never been to the SF location to see if it's comparable but definitely worth it!

    Finally was able to check this place out after seeing it so many times on social media. I stopped by the Mill Valley location before lunch rush on a Thursday morning and there was no line which was great. Kelly was my cashier and she was amazing! Super friendly, positive vibes and very helpful. Greeted me as soon as I came in. I was on my way to an appt so I couldn't sit and eat there for lunch so she made sure to separate my order to keep the chips nice and fresh for when I could get to it later. My order: chopped chicken Caesar wrap cut in half with the smoked paprika potato chips on the side. She even let me try a strawberry lemonade on the house! Delicious and refreshing. The wrap was big enough to share so I gave half of it to my brother. It was seasoned well and the lettuce was still crunchy when I got it home. Paired well with the hot sauce they provided. Will definitely be coming back to try other goodies on the menu. Thanks again, Kelly, for such great service. You've got a returning customer!

    This place had a lot of hype on social media, and I was excited to try, but I didn't feel it was worth it. There was too much dressing in the wrap and the lettuce was welted. The presentation and flavor were good and I liked the chips on the side. Portion size was average. Not sure if I'll return because I felt like the overall quality and price didn't justify another visit.

    I love a good chicken Caesar wrap, and Mama's Luncheonette is my favorite to date. The chicken-to-lettuce ratio is just right, the croutons add the perfect amount of crunch without being overpowering, and the chips were a flavorful addition.

    I came here on a weekend and there was almost no line at this location compared to the one in SF which was good. Immediately, the restaurant is very cute with a friendly, diner atmosphere and the staff was nice. The caesar wrap was also good, and I liked the crispy croutons and dressing to salad ratio, but honestly it was nothing special. It was just another chicken caesar salad wrap. If you're just in the area, then it's worth a try but if there's a long line, I would skip this place

    Wow. So yummy and refreshing. So many people with good music. Quick service and good to grab on the go. I split it with my friend and it was the perfect amount

    Mama's Luncheonette is a little gem I first heard about from an influencer. My mom loves a good, simple wrap, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Caesar wrap with the smoky paprika chips, and it was delicious--simple, fresh, and flavorful. And I'm a sucker for a good homemade kettle chip! At the end of our 3 night Mill Valley trip, I asked my mom what her favorite meal had been, and without hesitation, she said, "Mama's Luncheonette!"

    I don't get the hype. My best friend and her daughter ordered the lamb wrap before me while I reserved one of the two tables outside. We sat together for awhile before I went in to order at the makeshift table with ready to go lemonades. I ordered next and my food came immediately in a to go box. My friend's food came on a plate freshly made. $30 for a salad wrapped in a cold tortilla and a strawberry lemonade with tip is criminal. So expensive for lettuce wrapped in a tortilla. Chicken was nonexistent, what fancy croutons?, bland. A buffalo inspired hot sauce that comes on the side saved the sandwich. Chips were fine. The lamb wrap doesn't come with chips but I had no problem sharing mine.

    I ordered the tikka masala wrap and my daughter ordered the Caesar wrap. Both were good. I thought the tikka masala wrap was better. I liked the mix of contrasting flavors and unusual ingredients (slaw and pickles). I would return. I'd like to try one of the breakfast options.

    The service is really great and this location is a huge difference from sf because you can actually sit and enjoy your food. I enjoyed the matcha lemonade which was so good! Breakfast burrito I was nice but didn't enjoy the huge slabs of brisket that weren't cut up like they usually are. Overall great experience and friendly staff.

    The Dipsea and chips

    Strolled in here last week after seeing their new tuna sandwich on Instagram. It looked so good, I had to try it. It did not disappoint! If you like tuna sandos, you need to try it. It was truly perfect. Plus, it was a good sized sandwich, I ate half for lunch and half for a snack later in the day. Could see this being fire after a hike in Mount Tam. Yum! Recommend!

    I like the name. That was the hook. "Mama's" makes me think of either Southern comfort/hospitality or a recipe brought down across generations haha. I had their Egg McLovin for breakfast. I like how it's not quite a normal "burger/sandwich". Think burger, but patty is chicken sausage, bun is a flaky English muffin, and onions are grilled (like In n Out), and sauce is harissa aioli! Also, they offer some hot sauce if you want. I heard this place is known for its wraps though, so I will try that next time. Good thing they opened a location closer to where I am!

    We were in the area and noticed that they opened a Mama's Luncheonette here! We live in SF but there's always a huge line in the Marina location - there wasn't any here, so we decided to take advantage so we (read: I) could try the viral chicken Caesar salad wrap. I've seen mixed reviews but decided to save judgement for when I actually had it. Quick affair to order, sit down, and receive the food. It's on the pricier side (got up to $18 ish after I was done paying) but the wrap is huge. I ended up only eating half and saving the rest for later. If I ignore the price, it's a really really good wrap. The salad was dressed well and there's a lot of flavor in the chicken bits (which are really large by the way!). If the line wasn't always so long in SF, I would get this a lot more often. My friends got the breakfast burrito with bacon included, and they said it was also really good. Lives up to the hype, but it's not a regular lunch option for me due to price and accessibility. Worth a try though if you've got time or you're swinging by/live in Mill Valley.

I ended up waiting about 10 minutes before I realized my order hadn't even been sent to the kitchen. After I moved seats, the employee noticed me and then finally handed my order to the cook. From there, I waited another 10+ minutes while the two customers who ordered after me got their food and left. When I asked about my order, I was told it would be another 5 minutes--at that point I had already been waiting close to 30 minutes for a simple meal. To make things worse, the staff started talking in Spanish assuming I wouldn't understand, saying I should've been told it would take 20 minutes. One of them even claimed he told me that--which was completely untrue. Long wait times happen, but poor communication and ignoring a customer's order is unacceptable. If it was going to take 20+ minutes, just say that upfront. Don't skip my order and then pretend I was informed. Definitely not a good experience, and I wouldn't come back.
