Service is awesome and friendly! Food is well priced and tastes amazing! This will definitely become a regular place for us to go

We went to Mom's Diner for lunch. The food was excellent and the service couldn't be beat. I had the club sandwich which was one of the best I've ever had and my husband had the hamburger and onion rings. We will be back! read more

Best hamburgers around as good as good old home burgers great prices great employees!! I go there every time I need a good old home taste!!

This is the place for a burger and fries, but don't go for the Monster I or Monster II unless you are traveling with teen boys. You can spice it up with the Mexican burger or for lighter fare, go with the Turkey burger. Today's special was the Frito Pie Salad, but many of the ladies were going for the Chicken Quesadillas. read more

See all

Best local hamburger in town. It is cooked to order it's not fast food. The steak finger are hand breaded and pies are homemade!! Hands down great home cooking. Love this place!! read more

Wow! Delicious and great service! I had the chicken fried steak sandwich with 1/2 order french fries and 1/2 onion rings (special request). The chicken fried steak was large, real steak, hand battered and cooked perfectly. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and good quality. Everyone was very friendly and I'm glad we stopped in. read more

Mom's Diner - a hamburger and onion rings - Diners Near Me - Lufkin, Texas

Mom's is the kind of place where, when the waitress says thank you, the "you" has three syllables. Super friendly and excellent service. Had a bacon cheeseburger, which was so good. Big and juicy. The onion rings which had a great crispy batter. Topped everything off with a slice of coconut cream pie. No Amex, so there's that. Overall a fantastic meal. read more

Choose this restaurant based on its rating and unfortunately this time we were let down. I ordered a salad and was merely shredded lettuce from what they use in their burger chopped up tomatoes and lots of shredded cheese. The chicken was not great either. Hubby and grandson had burgers and they were nothing to write home about. They also had fries which were mostly just frozen crinkle fries. The lemon meringue did not taste homemade either we will definitely have to another restaurant next time we are in Lufkin. read more

Like someone says that must look at it once inside well done the meal I had a hamburger with their spicy fries were the best that ever eaten When back in the area will try again read more

This wasn't quite what we expected, but was very pleasantly surprised. You go up to a window to order your food, but then they brought it out to us. The inside of the restaurant was a very, very clean. Don't let the outside appearance turn you away. The staff was very friendly and check on us several times to see if we needed anything else. Ordered the chicken fried chicken strips. Comes with 3, but they were huge! Largest strips with ever seen. Comes with gravy, Texas toast, and choice of one side. The gravy was very tasty and seasoned well. Also ordered the avocado slammer. This is a large hamburger with your choice of 1 or 2 beef patties, avocado, cheese, bacon, and a slice of ham. There was lots of avocado which was fresh. It also was very large. The hamburger Patty was very tasty and seasoned well also. Onion rings were batter dipped and fried and were also very good. They offered several low carb menu items. Had a variety of hot dog combinations, taco salad, and other sandwiches. I believe there were several choices for dinner, which was the beef or chicken strips, fried pork chops and I think a chicken fried steak. We would eat there again. Note, Our navigation system took us to their old location which is 3 blocks further down on the same street. read more

We were looking for a mom and pop place to eat lunch in Lufkin. After searching yelp, we decided on this place which had very good reviews. Well, the reviews did not lie. The food was as good as what we read and so was service! This was our first time eating here but it won't be the last. We didn't think the restaurant was open till we pulled into parking lot and found the parking lot in back full. This was an enjoyable lunch!! read more

I drive an hour away for this gem of a restaurant! Jason at the counter is awesome and friendly and the staff is great! If you're looking for a great place for a burger stop here! read more

We finally tried this place out on a Monday afternoon. They were not busy at all in fact they looked closed, but they weren't and I'm sure glad we checked! I got the Patty Melt with Tator Tots and Hubby got The Mom #2 with Spicy Fries. You can tell they hand form the patties here. They are loose with so much flavor. The sides were both super crispy and seasoned well. Everything came out in about 5 minutes after we ordered from the counter. This will be our go to burger place from now on! read more

I've been eating at Mom's Diner since I was a kid and it was located on 103 E. Same great burger it always has been...

They are made to order burgers and give them credit for getting the burgers out rather quickly. They keep the flavor pure to the ground beef flavor. Minimal additives as far as seasonings and sauces. I went within an hour of opening and by noon they were busy. Worth a stop when in town read more

Rustic, old fashioned, pure East Texas! Why is there a Mexican Burger, because they used to have a little old Mexican lady the made it. Of course it has jalapeños! Onion rings are great too. Quick friendly service with a Texas twang. Gotta come here again. read more

If you want a little slice of Americana via an east Texas hamburger joint, Mom's fits the bill. You enter through the back or on the north east side, and slide up to the counter across the room. They are known for the burgers and chicken fried steaks (welcome to Texas!) so I recommend either of those. The chicken fried steak comes with mashed potato/fries and salad. The gravy is very, very good. Burgers are equally delicious. Take note: this is not fast food. It will take a little while to get your food as they prepare it in the back. Don't worry, it'll come out fresh, and the taste will be well worth it. read more

WOW! I don't usually write reviews, but this diner had good, old fashioned and delicious sandwiches and burgers! Fries cooked to perfection. Almost didn't even come in because the outside is not very inviting, but glad we did. I will be eating here every trip thru Lufkin! read more

Always a good place to grab some made to order food. Just ordered a couple of burgers, onion rings, and tater tots to go, for me and the wife for supper. Drive thru pick up with friendly service. I have also dined in on occasion. Always good. The only issue we had was the onion rings. I usually ask before ordering, if they are hand battered or premade frozen. Didn't do that because a picture posted on here showed hand battered Orings. They were the premade frozen and we were disappointed. Otherwise everything else was real good. read more

This was our go to place for the best burger, homemade onion rings and fries. Things seem to have changed since the family split up. The burger is still good but the onion rings have changed to some type of tempura batter? Not sure. Just know the onion rings are no longer homemade. The fries have changed. They seem to be breaded? Both the fries and onion rings are not edible to us. We will be passing Moms by on our way to Ray's. read more

Quick service and quick delivery of food. We both had cheese burgers and fries. Juicy and hot! Great bread, fresh veggies, and a good selections on sodas....my fav big red soda pop! Friendly service! A must stop if you are in the area. read more

Don't let the outside fool you - inside awaits delicious juicy hamburgers, well cooked onion rings and the sweetest kitchen and wait staff ever. It was almost like eating at Mom's house, except here your brothers and sisters were actually nice to you! read more

Great food and the best service in town!! Everyone goes out of their way to be friendly. That's Lufkin for you.

We received a gift certificate to go here ... which is just as well as we wouldn't pay to eat here as the counter service was as rude as I've ever experienced read more

This is, by far, the best burger in town. Juicy, fresh, and so very tasty. The staff is a family, and they'll treat you like a favorite member of their family when you visit. Food is always cooked fresh, you never get fries or anything that has sat under a heat lamp because they just did a big batch to serve the restaurant. My wife's favorite appetizer are the Munchers (kind of a jalapeño-potato-cheese tot). The burgers are absolutely the best in Lufkin. Sizes are Junior, single patty, double patty, and the Mom's Monster. They also have a selection of plates including Chicken-Fried Steak, hand breaded chicken, and pork chops. read more

Mom's Diner ranks at the top of my list for a Texas burger. Thanks to concern of the owners to be consistent in the quality of their products. Thank you, we'll be back. BT, Livingston, Tx read more

Nice country restaurant, very casual. Great onion rings, cheeseburgers and awesome chicken fried steak! Nice people working the counter and I love the fact that I can get my own drink refills. Will be going back to visit soon. read more

I have to say that in my 56 years in Texas this is one of the best burger places I have eaten at. Cheeseburgers are delicious. The double cheeseburger is juicy, flavorful, and my favorite. Don't let the restaurant's appearance fool you. It's not fancy, but it is good. The employee's most of which are all family members are good natured friendly people. As for the prices beyond reasonable...two adults can load up on burgers, fries or tator tots for about 20 bucks. Do also need to mention that make a pretty darn good chef salad, just add bacon. read more

If you can find a better traditional burger somewhere, please tell me. Don't get cheese on your burger, it only covers up the flavor of that juicy patty. read more

Order at the counter. Known for their burgers. No thrills, no frills home cooking! Friendly service. Will return!

Food hot and made to order. Place is clean and the people friendly. Good atmosphere. Onion rings are hand battered with a good fresh onion flavor-not frozen from a bag-YUM! Burger is delicious and the meat hand shaped. Close to the hospital and I've recommended it to family read more

Mom's diner is a staple in Lufkin! There is nothing on the menu that isn't homemade and delicious! There burgers are some of the best in town! There chicken fried steak is one of my all time favorites! It is huge and I eat it as two meals! read more

Finding a good burger is a hard thing to do. Who would've known that one of my top burger joints would be Mom's Burgers, in the tiny town of Lufkin Texas?! From the outside, Mom's may not look like much, but don't let that fool you. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you're at a family member's house. I'm always warmly greeted immediately after walking in. And even though I know what I'm getting most of the time, I still take a minute each time to take another look through the menu. I usually opt for the Mom's monster and of course, french fries! The burgers are cooked to order, so if you're looking for fast food, Mom's is not the place. The burgers are tightly wrapped in their wrappers, keeping the juicy goodness within nice and warm until you can get it into your gullet. The meat is cooked and seasoned perfectly. It has that little bit of "char grill" but not too much where it feels like you're biting on a piece of charcoal. The bun is the traditional bun with seeds on top and the perfect thickness (you can keep those fancy brioche buns). The toppings are always fresh and they put just the right amount of condiments. There's nothing worse than a burger that drips mayo onto your chin. Not cute. Anyway, I always make it a point to visit Mom's when I'm in Lufkin. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

I know that burgers and fries are highly recommended here but the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans are southern made and to die for. Drove 60 miles to to eat here and will do it again!! read more

Best Burgers in town. ( seriously nothing else to say as what I said sums it up but apparently this site is extremely picky and want more words o a dabbing in and on in a run on sentence to satisfy its demands.) read more

Everything here tasted like it was home made, just like momma used to make! Very friendly staff, everything was delicious.

This is the absolute standard when it comes to burgers and fries! My wife and I try all of the highest rated places on Yelp or Food Network etc when we travel, but none of them have ever beaten Mom's Diner. I always order the bacon cheeseburger with spicy fries. The closest places we've ever tried are Hodad's in San Diego, CA and Lindy's on 4th in Tucson, AZ. read more
