    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?!

    The night shift crew was horrible, they should pay more attention to the customers and not your phone and boy friend.

    This was recommended by the motel we stayed at. The server was nice. Food was good. I'd come back here.
