    If you e ever read any of my reviews you know I LOVE hand cut, homemade fries. Mom's cafe does fries right! Food is always fresh and home cooked. Service consistently good. It's an old time cafe atmosphere and that's great! If you're in Salina or just passing through don't settle for the chains near the interstate (you will be disappointed if you do). It's two blocks into town with lots of parking and easy access. Save room for the homemade blueberry sour cream pie. It's so awesome!

    This breakfast was the worse. I took it back. Very disappointed $ 17.00 for this.  Waitress blamed it on new owners.  I wouldn't go here

    The worst.. 17.00 ordered to go i had to turn around and go back for a refund. The waitress blamed it on new owners

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Tim G.

    This is the real deal in terms of being a small cafe in a small town that's not really close to anything. But we had a very good lunch here when we stopped in during a road trip. The service was prompt and friendly, and attentive throughout our lunch. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, which was good. The menu said the chicken would be breaded, but I just got grilled chicken. Still, the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The sauce wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but still good. My wife had the Chef's Salad, which was a bit on the small side so I would think of it as more of an appetizer or side dish rather than a meal. Ingredients were really good though. I was also tempted (successfully) by the Apple Pie, which was one of several pies on display at the diner counter. It was very tasty, though slightly dry. We were happy with our lunch and with the service. It felt like a place that's been there forever, with many of the employees having been there forever. I'm sure it is a favorite with the locals, and we enjoyed being welcomed for a good lunch in a small town as we made our way across Utah.

    Breaded Veal

    A decent choice for out of towers for dinner. It was close to our Air B&B which was convenient. The welcome greeting was warm and friendly. We got to choose our own table. There are two rooms you can dine in. The back room was unoccupied so we walked through the doorway to the front. It soon filled up and bigger groups sat in the other room. Definitely the minority I'm glad we got some friendly smiles. They serve a very nice delicious appetizing plated salad that comes with your meal. The person who made the salad had each ingredient compartmentalized in a circular pattern around the plate; beets, peas, cheese, lettuce, etc. The dressing was good too. They had several cakes on the counter but with COVID still present and guests and employees not wearing masks, it seemed unusual for the cakes to be out on the counter uncovered. The cookies looked fantastic and were covered so two left with us to be eaten the next day as we continued on our road trip. Doc had trout, hubs had hamburger steak and I had veal. I was kind of disappointed it seemed like a processed patty rather than a thin flat piece of breaded veal that I've had before. They ran out of baked potatoes so one of us took mashed potato and I took wild rice which sorry but tasted like boxed rice pilaf. My cut green beans tasted like canned beans. I chucked it up to my memory of veal cutlet decades ago was a good one.

    We loved this soup. I think we ordered 3 cups of it!! I was also just so happy to see fry sauce back on the table, I had to take a picture of it. Service was pretty good, and the cafe makes you feel like you take a step back in time. We will definitely be stopping again when traveling from California to Utah.

    It's always fun to visit places that still serve full meals. This place was great in that you get soup or salad, a scone (which is like fry bread) and your entree. Pros: -good, balanced meal -their scone came out fresh and warm- it was my favorite item I ate -great vintage atmosphere Cons: -I wish they had a cover over their cake. They looked so good but were not covered with a lid. Other: -you get to seat yourself -parking is available in the back of their business

    Salina is a small town in the middle of nowhere, on the way out of Utah onto America's lonely highway 50 in Nevada. We picked Mom's because we were hungry and there weren't 100 choices. Well they didn't disappoint. Standard lunch menu, normal American foods, decent service, decent food, decent prices. Interesting town, there was a German prisoner of war camp here in the second world war where a massacre happened. Look it up if you're a history buff!

    Pancake the has the best flavor! I didn't even use syrup!! Tasted like real butter?!

    Great spot for a quick dinner when passing through town. Decent food, and the kids liked it, too. Very good scones and pie.

    Great find that is worth the extra 10min drive off the freeway. Trust me, don't waste your time at Denny's.

    honestly, this food is totally mediocre, greasy,yes they can do a good pork roast at dinner but the rest is basically the same as Dennys.

The vibe is cozy and fun, the coffee is absolute heaven, and the owners are super friendly and proud of their business! Highly recommend all the way around! Their shop was packed full of super fun Halloween decorations which was such a welcoming vibe - the inside is cozy and comfy. There's lots of relaxing porch seating outside and tables inside. It truly is like walking into a friend's house haha! The owners are a brother and sister and they are so kind and helpful. They have an extensive variety of pumpkin spice flavor combinations that was very impressive. And they even have quite a large boba tea menu!! Very unexpected and made it hard to decide what I wanted - until I saw that they had my FAVE - a peanut butter mocha!! So of course that's what I had to have and it was delicious!! Creamy and full of flavor - a very nice balance between the PB and the chocolate. My son got a regular house brew and his gf got a vanilla latte. Prices are great and everyone totally loved their drinks! We had such a nice visit - browsing around their funny Halloween decor and also the little shop part which offered lots of local goodies and art - very nice! Parking is on the street out front but it also looks like they have a lot out back too. GPS had no issues finding it - it does look like a private house when you pull up so fyi - and that just makes it all the more cozy!

We went into the bar and restaurant and were greeted by the hostess who asked for out IDs so she could scan them. (They scan everyone's ID, so be sure to have it with you when you go into the establishment. There is a large selection of draft beers. The menu is pretty large with everything from sandwiches to pizza and tacos. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and some carne asada tacos. The tacos were amazing and their pico de gallo was very tasty. The pizza was a good size for the price. This place is great. The food is tasty l, the beer is cold, and the seats are comfortable.

It is spacious inside with large tables and a friendly, welcoming staff. I had a margarita with my lunch; only one though because I was driving. It wasn't strong but was tasty enough. The beers are mostly domestic with only one micro brew selection but there were plenty of national brand choices. The food was home made and not bad for bar food. I had a Pittsburgh cheese steak sandwich that I thought was good. I ordered it with a side salad instead of fries as I had also ordered the loaded Pastrami fries which came with cheese, pickles and mustard on top. It was a bit too rich and heavy for my taste and the flavors didn't really work well together. Maybe without the mustard I would have liked it more. Not a bad place for a rest stop or a reasonable local hang out as well with some decent food.
