Delightful, friendly service with a smile, a vast menu with something for everyone to choose from and a pile of baked goods for sale...just in time for the holidays! Can't believe I just heard of Mom & Pop's; clearly I've been living under a rock. This family owned business knows how to provide delicious food fast! It was obvious that there are MANY regulars (the owner was on a first name basis with everyone that walked in)-which I would be if I lived a smidge closer. Loved my Mediterranean omelette; the skillet got rave reviews (and a to-go box!). Picked up some cookies and struffoli (yaaassss Italian honey balls FTW!!) for a Christmas dinner I'll be attending..plus a couple of pieces of eggnog cake (which were insanely good...those won't make it to Xmas dinner). I'd like to go back again soon and try some other breakfast (or lunch) items. They close at 2pm and are currently open Monday-Friday (so I can only get there on a day off). Oh-they do catering, too. read more

The parking lot was very busy and there was a line at the front door, but they just do a bustling takeout service. We had NO WAIT for a table. The interior was tidy and clean. The menu is huge! It's like a diner...basically anything you might want, they probably have (for breakfast and lunch). I chose the turkey club. I had an option to have it with chips or a side salad. The sandwich was big, and I had to eat the sections in mini-sections! It was very good. I can't wait to come back! I felt that the prices were very reasonable. read more

Was the most discussed breakfast we've ever had. Asked for eggs over medium cams out fried asked for has crispy and was still like dog food. The hash was supposed to be homemade but it was canned there's no way you can cut potatoes that small and uniform that way along with the corned beef mushy. Will never go there again or suggest it to anyone. read more

I have been procrastinating to get to this place for a long time now and I finally made it!! I wanted to cone here with someone special but they didn't like the ambience in the place amd kept me away. Though this special person finally wanted to get here, we vanished from each other's lives. Though some treasured relationships disappear, Mom's and pops cafe still stands, where "great food, family, and friends come together". We ordered Andes mint chocolate pancake and Mediterranean omlette. I'm not a big fan of pancakes and this pancake was excellent. The place has a big menu and the prices are reasonable. I was here new years eve and they were closed for vacation. I sent them a message on Facebook and got a reply instantly. I'll probably be here again to try more tasty food. read more

I've stopped here before to pick up to-go orders for other people, but never tried anything myself. I'd heard that the turkey sandwiches were very good. In fact, I found out today that they are excellent. They are now tied for my favorite location for a turkey sandwich. Yes, they use fresh roasted turkey, and my normal configuration is to add lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, and mayo on whole wheat bread. That comes to about $11 with the additions and house-made chips or salad of the day are included. The turkey is thinly sliced and fresh. The wheat bread is soft and flavorful. And speaking of flavorful, the bacon is not only crisp, but has a nice strong smoked flavor. I just wish they were open later so I didn't have to buy my dinner at lunch time. read more

Two of us for breakfast. Coffee was ok. Mediterranean omelet was bad! Frozen spinach, canned mushrooms and it was awful! My wife got a cheese omelet with spinach on the side. Both were gross. Server Didn't get asked how it was. Both left half on the plate. Last time there for breakfast. Yuk! read more

I've passed by this place many times never pulled in BIG MISTAKE ! It's a small place w adequate seating . The waitress are busy yet attentive.

There open for early birds an unfortunately close at 2pm If your in the neighborhood do yourself (a flavor ) an stop in you'll be pleasantly pleased . read more

This little restaurant doe catering. They are amazing. This Italian American family set a very high bar for fresh Italian food. The charcuterie wow--figs flown in just for us the day before from California, the best of charcuterie meats, I mean the absolute best---amazing olives. Eggplant and peppers I want to bottle and order a case. The Italian and other cheeses---all of the highest level. A large salad bar with everything you could possibly want. Two kinds of pastas, chef prepared in front of you by the owner and his son. chicken piccata, lot of capers and lemons just the way we want it. And brisket. Crusty rolls, freshly sliced italian bread. Everything the bride and groom chose but they had so many more options. Here's the big surprise, you don't have to look any further for an excellent bakery cause chef co-owner in this husband and wife family operation, is a master baker. I have had her cannoli's, amazing pies and other items that are amazing. She made a berry filled wedding cake and three kind of beautiful cupcakes. She even made lemoncella filled cupcakes that were beyond the beyond. The nicest people, the warmest and most professional team---hugs all around!!! read more

Lovely place. Owners are amazing - like you're in their home... Food very good - I had the veg omelet w home fries and toast - tasty. Coffee very good too. Sat outside as they put up picnic tables due to covid - very good setup with a nice view of the vistas. Make it here if you're close by, worth a short drive out of your way as well. enjoy.... read more

A great find. The menu has lots of choices. I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger it was huge and delicious Only open for breakfast and lunch. Mom and Pop are taking a vacation for two weeks and will be back. Call ahead for times and days they will be open. read more

Great service and pretty good food. Some things like the fries are way over cooked and greasy.

Stopped by here a couple of weeks ago for breakfast, believe it's my first visit here under new management. They weren't too busy so seating wasn't a problem, coffee and water was served quickly, ended up ordering the Big Boy Breakfast, 3 eggs, 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage, homefries and toast. A good chance to sample a few things without ordering on the side. The food didn't take long to come out and the portions were good for the price. While I was there, a steady stream of customers came in, some for to go orders, others to eat in, so that's a good sign. It's a small place and easy to miss but worth the stop if you're ever looking for a bite to eat. Will have to make a return visit for lunch someday soon. read more

Nice quick spot to eat breakfast, many different menu options from a typical spot but the food was good!

I love this place so much, I eat here just about daisy. Mike & Donna have a friendly bunch of staff & the food is always delish.

Excellent food, very nice people. They always have everything I could want, and I look forward to seeing the people there.

I LOVE mom and pops. I eat here about once a month. The food and service are GREAT! They make you feel at at home and very welcome. Great people!!!! read more

I've even here many times when my business has brought me to Ballston Spa. Food is terrific and the service is absolutely fantastic. I've had the wraps, homemade salads, and a few sandwiches and have been pleased every time I've gone. Waitstaff is very courteous and friendly. Definitely recommend this place. read more

The restaurant is great. Food is good, service is great, highly recommended. Yelp, on the other hand, lists the place open on Saturday, which it is not. The sign in front of the diner says, "Monday thru Friday." Be sure to visit during the week. read more

I have stopped in to Mom and Pop's a couple of times and have always enjoyed my lunch. It is right next to Curtis Lumber on Route 67. Plenty of parking. It is a small place with a limited menu. Because it's so small, the service is good. You never have to wonder where your server is because everything is in plain sight. For lunch they have subs, specials, and wraps. Not an extensive menu. I have never had breakfast there. Roast beef sub with cheese and horseradish is fantastic. Potato chips are large thick dry ones that I don't like and won't get again. Corn chowder is really water based corn soup - you might want to try something else. If you're in the area, Mom and Pop's is good place for lunch. read more

Spending the day inside Curtis Lumber, my co-workers and I decided to do lunch at this close, local establishment. Great service with a smile! The food came out fast. Turkey club was good. Yhe turkey seemed to be a bit off. I am also a Coca Cola fan. They serve RC! I have not had a RC cola since the 70's. Good lunch. I would eat here again. read more

Ordered the western omelet which was pretty good and came with home fries and toast. The home fries weren't at the ideal temperature. However, the coffee was super good as well as the service. They do the bacon crispy which is how I like it. I really like the setup as well as the atmosphere I will be back. read more

Superb in every way: cheerful, welcoming vibe, great friendly waitstaff, a knock-out menu with a glorious variety of delicious choices. We highly recommend this incredible restaurant. read more

It doesn't get better than Mom & Pop's for breakfast. Skillets, Omelet's, everything is too notch!

Great food and great staff. Conveniently located off the road for a quick bite to a nice sit down meal. Dropped in for breakfast and was presented with so many different choices. Decided on the French toast platter. The French toast was delicious partnered with amazing whip cream! Bacon was crunchy and flavorful. Staff was welcoming with great smiles and energy. Will definitely come back! read more

Went for lunch with my daughter. Service was great, everyone was so friendly. Then I had the best French dip sandwich I have ever had!!! Absolutely delicious. Wish they were open later, I'd be there weekly! Highly recommend giving them a try read more

What a gem of place! Donna was as sweet as pie and the food was everything you want from a diner.

Most excellent . Truly a Mom and Pop's place. Cosy and quaint. Great food and service and price. If you want a good breakfast or brunch you should find this place. read more

Large portions...great food...inexpensive...fast and friendly service...yummmmm!!! Going there NOW!¡! Small town friendly diner!¡!

Good American cuisine. Diner style, with some bonuses - - the handmade sliced fried potatoes are really excellent. The service at lunch time was quick. Prices are very reasonable. Great eggs and home fries. I'll be back to try some of the other dishes. I've heard only good things from my colleagues so positive word of mouth is growing. read more

Found this on Yelp. Super nice owner and family staff. Delicious breakfast with attention to our specific requests. We were surrounded by 70+ so you know it will be good food at a good price. It was! read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch before traveling. I found the prices to be good and the facility itself is in top condition and clean. These are the kind of folks that will remember you after a few stops in. My quesadilla was served piping hot with salsa and sour cream, cooked to the perfect texture. The fresh fried potato chips were a welcome surprise, some chewy and some crispy, not too salty. Overall good for the price. Only recomendation would be to class up the cheese filling with spices or another kind of cheese, the straight american got boring quickly. I will be returning! read more

This place is hands down the best breakfast spot around! Haven't eaten lunch here yet but judging by the quality of the food so I'm sure it is outstanding! Breakfast burrito is incredible great food and great owners don't pass it by! read more

Stopped for breakfast and staff and owners come out to greet us. That was wonderful and the food was excited!!!

The inside is a bit small, Not many can fit in there, but it does look nice and it's certainly not your typical Diner style. The food itself is ok, It's not bad but it's not great either. The prices are a bit much in my opinion. $1.75 for 2 pieces of bacon, $1.75 for a bit of Nutella on your pancakes. Heck, For 3-4 bucks I could get a full thing of bacon and Nutella at the store. I mean if you are going to run a diner at least charge reasonable prices you know. I hate over-paying for a meal that is so-so at beast. So overall, while it is not a bad place, it's certainly not one that I will be visiting again. read more

Absolutely pleasant! This place has a homey atmosphere, welcoming energy, friendly folk, and great food. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking in the Malta area. Two big thumbs up for sure. read more
