    Chicken and waffles
    Cheryl J.

    This was our first time at this restaurant. We were a party of five after church. The menu was large and varied, with lots of breakfast and lunch offerings. We all chose breakfast. My hubby and I were especially pleased to see heart smart items. I ordered the Turkey Sausage plate with extra crispy hash-browns. Everything was cooked perfectly. The portions were generous. And the food tasted great. The waitstaff was attentive and pleasant. When I am on that side of town again, I will dine in!

    Came back to Mama's Restaurant; still keeping my rating for food & service. Everyone is friendly & courteous & the food is good. Today I had the chicken & waffle plate; the waffle was light & slightly crispy; the chicken tenders were fresh & the coating was well seasoned & crispy. My husband had the breakfast platter with grits, eggs, sausage, bacon & ham with a side of whole wheat toast. Our server today was Lacy, she was a real sweetheart & took good care of us. Mama's isn't fine dining, it's good ole home style cooking served with kindness & courtesy. We'll be back, I need to try the corned beef sandwich.

    I little rough around the edges but bomb food! Great customer service, packed restaurant with great vibes! Food hot, fresh and made to order. Parking right next to the restaurant, my husband enjoyed his Strawberry lemonade and my coffee was hot and the French vanilla creamer was a plus! I would definitely visit again when I come back to Detroit!

    Our amazing breakfast.

    Wow. Did I say wow? Visiting Motor City again with my lady. Had to find a non chain place to fill our hunger needs before driving up to the UP. MAMA'S it's the real deal. Staff very attentive, Tiara was amazing. She doesn't need to wear a tiara, she is a crown. Great personality and great service. Now the food. The juiciest chicken tenders on the planet. No joke. We got 5 plates of different food because I wanted the whole menu. Waffles, biscuits gravy, potato pancakes, corned beef hash. This is the best breakfast I have had in Detroit so far. And it will be hard to beat. We will be back.

    Perfect over easy eggs on country skillet.

    I thought I already reviewed this place...what?! Killer breakfast! I dream about their biscuits and gravy! I got a skillet with eggs over easy from DoorDash and the eggs were perfect HOW DID THEY DO IT? My new go to is chicken fried steak with the biscuits (and a side of gravy) but on my last visit I got buttermilk chicken tenders and waffle. Everything is so damn good I no longer have a go to just a really hard time deciding!

    This place has been on my list of places to try for a long time and finally I went to go try it. I…read moream so disappointed with myself for not going any sooner. I absolutely love this place! Everything we tried was delicious. The pancakes were a standout for sure and were very fluffy. The service was great, clean atmosphere. I informed our server that this was our first time here and wasn't sure about what to get. She eagerly provided a rundown of the menu and some of her favorites. I truly appreciated her patience and attentiveness. I will definitely be back to try more items off the menu.

    Jagged Fork is a breakfast and lunch spot with six locations across Southeast Michigan. It offers a…read morevariety of staple menu items, and is also known for its seasonal specials. Lattes: The bonfire latte (special) had a strong espresso flavor, but it became sweeter as the marshmallows melted. I enjoyed this more than the lavender iced latte (special), though that ultimately came down to personal preference. Savory Breakfast Options: The triple triple omelette (regular menu item) is one of my favorite local omelettes, featuring three meats and three cheeses. The components of the sweet potato and pork belly hash (special) complimented each other nicely. It was served with house-made salsa verde and hot sauce. Sweet Breakfast Options: The campfire s'mores French toast (regular menu item) was rich and filling. The chicken and French toast (special) featured double-battered chicken tenders alongside Captain Crunch-encrusted challah French toast. Between the two, I preferred the chicken and French toast. The cinnamon swirl pancakes (regular menu item) are a classic dish here, and can be ordered as an entrée or a smaller side. Lunch Options: The birria tacos (special) were tasty, but a bit spicier than expected. Similarly, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (special) definitely packed some heat. The chicken was sauced rather than coated in a dry rub. While I'm typically not a fan of chicken sandwiches that feature tenders instead of fillets, the size and quality of the tenders made this one work. The fries it came with had a fluffy interior and were lightly seasoned. Jagged Fork's variety and consistency over the years has kept me coming back. I often opt for the specials, but that's not a knock on the regular menu items. I'll be back to try more of the house favorites and new seasonal specials.
