I give this a 5 bc I can't give it a 10. The food...AMAZING The atmosphere...fun and diner like The staff... best in the city hands down My waitress Amber was the nicest and sweetest person ever (love you girl ). She was the only server there and did a fantastic job. We got the Buffalo mac and cheese balls as a starter and they were so good! kid friendly but had a tiny kick to it. I got the crispy chicken and gravy with the mac and cheese and mexican street corn and there is literally not a single complaint. My mom also got the crispy chicken and mac and cheese but she got the tater tots and they had a nice flavor and were crispy but not burnt (EXACTLY how she ordered them). My sister got the bedrock pancakes and while they looked way too sweet for me she LOVED them. We also got the Nutella Ella Ella Aye milkshake and it looked so good and tasted even better. This will definitely be a place that I will be going back to on my next trip. read more

Got the waffle and chicken but damn they smother it in a cheese sauce and hot sauce. With waffles??? Nope! You smother something that is not good quality and trying to hide the flavor. I thought it would have been a slight drizzle--not drenched like gravy and biscuits. Was disappointing. Not to mention it was very expensive. Not returning. They weren't very friendly either. So n can't really say it was remotely worth it. read more

This place is great if you're looking for good comfort food for brunch or happy hour. The apps are solid and the entrees are hearty without breaking the bank. The smoothie was exactly what I needed that day. And the staff is really great here. They made sure we had everything we needed and spoke really highly of all the food here (which they've gotten the chance to try themselves)! The interior has a fun vibe and is designed like a diner. A cute spot that also offers outdoor patio dining. read more

So this is my 2nd time here. I walked in with my cousin for brunch. We planned to go somewhere else but after searching for for parking in the area for so long, we found a parking next to this restaurant and ended up going in. There was a 20 minute wait. .... We were hungry and cold but we went back in the car and waited. Thanks goodness we did! It didn't disappoint at all! We ordered drinks - hot girl (tastes like a spicy margarita ) and frozen strawberry margarita. Oh I should add that I first ordered a coffee boozy latte and it was so sweet so I sent it back for the he got girl! We ordered the buffalo Mac and cheese balls for starters (SO GOOD! Def order that). It was pretty filling and we almost didn't finish our sandwiches. My cousins took her chicken sandwich to go and only ate the fries that came with it. I dogged my egg sandwich . Moral of the story- food is banging, drinks are tasty, vibes are chill. read more

Easily, one of the best Chicken & waffle dishes I've ever had. Yes, staff is friendly, knowledgable of the menu, all of that good stuff, they were great especially with my son, but the food was top tier breakfast. People had other items, but I was so lost in how great MY food was. Order it, everything on it, I was skeptical because it sounded like a lot, but no, its perfect. I did try the shrimp and grits, I couldn't even handle how good this was. The grits had cheese without asking (more than one kind), shrimp was sharp with flavor. I had to stay away and secure real estate for my own plate. The bacon, egg and cheese... did not feel like it came from mom's hands. By proxy of being on the same table as all this other great food, it'll get a pass but.. dont even bother with making that. This will be my designated place when I'm in the area. read more

This place was an experience lol something about the energy just made it fun. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well with the menu options. They menu had plenty of odd but interesting and what seemed to be good offerings, especially when it comes to shakes and drinks. I started with the Mom-osa which was good, Buffalo Mac & Cheese Balls which were good, Cinnamon French Toast which was amazing and finally the Shrimp & Cheesy Grits which was the only thing I think needed a little improvement. Overall an experience you will enjoy. read more

We wanted to try a new place for brunch and we found this gem. It was a saturday morning, it was packed with people. Servers and host was nice and we were seated quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating areas. They have a very interesting cocktails and mocktails to start your brunch right. Their portions were huge, so we decided not to get their drinks. So, we ordered chicken and waffles and pancake burrito. Chicken was very juicy and flavorful. Chicken, waffle and bacon was a great combo. Pancake burrito, it was my first time eating pancakes and eggs together, it was amazing with some bacon bits on top, sausage and cheese mixed with the eggs. Price were around $20/ each but the portion was worth it. I would love to be back to try their cocktails. read more

Me & my girlfriend come here every year the day after Christmas to celebrate the anniversary of our first date here. It's a part of our holiday tradition, and we wouldn't have it any other way! She always goes for the Steak and Eggs, with fries on the side or the Chicken & Waffles. Depending on my mood, I tend to vary between the Woodland Omelette or the Steak & Eggs. We always share the Return Of The Mac as our appetizer though... Overall, Mom's is a great neighborhood spot with a can't miss menu, a vibrant interior and quality customer service! There's a reason why it's a part of our holiday tradition! read more

This place was okay. A lot of my friends said that the food lacked flavor (steak and eggs) and complained that the steak was overdone. The milkshake, I expected more. It tasted more like milk than anything. The service was good tho, despite everything but definitely had higher expectations. read more

I came here previously and enjoyed the food here before. Don't get me wrong, the food is great, but as a service based business, this location can do better. I came here on Easter weekend with my wife and was given a table in the center of the room where people coming in and out would bump into me. When I asked if I could change tables, they did not accommodate and even left it for other diners that weren't here. Because of this experience, it is sad to say, but I will not be coming back anymore. read more

Finally crossed this place off my list! The decor is super cute and full of things you would find in your mom's kitchen. Went in on a Friday afternoon and was seated immediately. Had to get one of their iconic shakes, of course! The Rainbow Bright was a stunner and made me feel like a little kid again. One shake can definitely be shared between two people. I had the chicken & waffles and it was honestly one of the better chicken & waffles I've had because of the hot honey and bechamel. The avocado toast was good but a little heavy on the pickled onions (I'm not the biggest pickled onion fan). Cute lil brunch spot and I'll be back to try their other crazy shakes! read more

Enormous portions and throwback 90s vibes makes for a fun hangout for lunch. They're always super busy on the weekends but service keeps up.

Before we leave nyc, we had to visit Mom's kitchen after hearing so many great things about it on Tik Tok and reviews here on Yelp. We got there at 9:30am so a little after they open at 9 and they already had a few people there by the time we got there. Service was really fast, we got seated right away. The place is kind of tight but we were still comfortable. Drinks; I got a mimosa and man did i underestimate the power of that mimosa, it got watery pretty quickly because of the amount of ice in there but still very strong. Food; My husband had the egg sandwich and he loved and ate everything there. He also had it with homefries went we thought that it was a type of season on it that was very strong and dominating that we didn't like but it was still tasty. I had the chicken and waffle and wow was it so different but so good!! That bechamel sauce on top of it was everything. The chicken was well seasoned. I've never had my chicken and waffles like this before. Loved it! Coming back or nahhh? Yess yes when I'm back to the city! read more

We didn't try a lot as we are having a short stay in New York, so typically we try one small dish at a place and move on. Most of the items on the menu appeared to be a large portion and heavy carb so we kept it simple and shared the cheese steak egg roll. Not what you'd expect, cheese steak traditionally in my mind means some sort of thinly slice meat and cheese and onion or peppers. Not sure if they had to modify how the meat came since it would be fried like egg roll style but it felt more like a meat sausage with cheese inside. Overall the flavor of it 7/10. The sauce they served with it completely clashed or overpowered the flavor. We just finished the dish without the sauce. Wife got this large Mimosa. I think it was called momosa. She never mentioned that she loved it " Usually she does or does a little wiggle when she enjoys something. Would consider trying other things on the menu, but most things looked loaded in sugar. read more

My husband and I stopped by during our mini-honeymoon. We live in Philadelphia, but as a born-and-bred New Yorker, I was on a mission to hit all the best food spots--and this place did not disappoint! We arrived early, around 9:00 AM on a Monday, before the brunch crowd rolled in, so we had the place to ourselves. The menu was thoughtfully designed, and what really stood out was the décor. It was filled with nostalgic nods to the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s--TV shows, toys, and pop culture icons that took us back to our childhood. It's clear that whoever designed the space has a love for that era, and it added such a fun vibe to the experience. As for the food--absolutely fantastic! Everything was delicious and exactly what we needed to fuel up for our hike at Bear Mountain, which we were heading to next. This spot was a perfect blend of great food, unique ambiance, and a trip down memory lane. Highly recommend! read more

They're owned by the people who own the bar next door and they share a kitchen it's just a more extensive menu on this side and a lot more kid friendly. We pooped in because we wanted to go to the bar next door and it was packed so we were still able to sit at the bar here and watch the game. The bartender was nice and the drinks were good. I wasn't necessarily a fan of the food (I ordered the tomato soup and it tasted like canned tomato soup not fresh and the bread was super dry but we were able to watch the game so I guess no complaints there. They're known for their milkshakes but I didn't feel like having milk with alcohol so we skipped those, as I said, it's super kids friendly so it can be overwhelming during the earlier times bc there's kids everywhere lol read more

Stop into Mom's Kitchen & Bar for breakfast on a Saturday morning. This location is very quaint allowing the wait staff to be extremely attentive. We ordered the Mac and cheese pancake, friend chicken sandwich, build a burger, and a few drinks. Everything we consumed including the Brews clues brunch beverage were all delicious. If you want to feel like you are in the 80s at a dinner and someone's mom is making you breakfast... stop into Mom's kitchen. read more

Was quickly seated right when we walked in but the tables were kinda tight and small. Our drink order was taken shortly and was able to order with our food coming out in minutes. After that we weren't checked on, asked if we needed refills or anymore food. When we finished eating we had to flag down a server to get the check and pay because we seemed to not be seen. Food was alright and kinda forgettable. The drinks were subpar i don't plan to be back unless im craving an expensive breakfast. read more

I don't think I've ever had baked mac and cheese quite like Mom's--it's just that good. I've been on the hunt for a place that comes close, but nothing hits the same. This spot, though? The vibe is immaculate--great food, amazing music, and top-tier service. They don't hold back on the indulgence either--think a whole slice of cake stacked on top of a milkshake. Absolutely wild. If you're coming here, leave the diet at home. I've been to both the Astoria and Manhattan locations, and there's definitely a difference. Astoria had a cozy, homey feel, while the Manhattan spot leaned more over-the-top and chaotic. Personally, I preferred Astoria. Either way, this is the place to celebrate a birthday! read more

Came here on a Monday for my 8 year old bday. The place is so cool retro like diner. It's not big, it's very home like. They have retro lunchboxes on the tables. Which we explained to our girls that's how our lunchboxes looked like back in the day lol A family friendly place with a bar sign me up Of course we both ordered margaritas and there was happy hour so that's that. I made my own burger Swiss cheese and added avocado. I wish they had like a chipotle mayo or something in the burger it was a bit dry i had to keep adding ketchup. The fries were nice and crispy . My husband and older daughter had the pancake burrito it ass huge. They definitely enjoyed it. The bday girl got a kid's grilled cheese. Which was on sourdough bread omg looked so yummy the girls got shakes the bday girl got a cookie one i forgot the name of it. But my older one got the Nutella one and when she ordered it she sang the song to the server . Hilarious! He was such a great sport about it. Will definitely come again read more

Such a nice spot! I've read about the Manhattan location so I was happy to know there was an other location just in Astoria. I went for brunch on Sunday afternoon, and I was pleased. They sat us down at the tables of their sister bar - we were outside so it was fine for them. We were provided with both menus. We also had a Mac and cheese which was great. The short rib grilled cheese was massive, but the cheese wasn't really felt at all. House burger was very good. The drink was sugary and could feel the alcohol!! Overall a good experience, but service was a bit slow (I guess that sitting us a bit far didn't exactly help). I would go back :) read more

Quaint spot on 31st ave and 33rd street serving breakfast starting at 9am. Surprisingly small space indoors, but in good weather they have a ton of outdoor seating on the street and on the sidewalk. Very much a diner vibe with the Jetsons on TV and the condiments and served out of metal lunch boxes. Service was on point. We waited a little bit for our food, but the restaurant was 2/3 full at 10 am on a Friday. We ordered chicken and waffles and avocado toast. The chicken was perfectly breaded and crispy. I would 100% order this again. The avocado toast was also good, but not the best ever. For these two items our final bill was over $50 (with nothing to drink except water). The portions are large enough to share if you are not starving. This will be my new go-to spot for weekday breakfast and brunch! read more

Food - 4.5 Service - 4 Atmosphere - 4 The food here is delicious and plentiful. I ordered the chicken bacon and waffle, and it was everything I hoped for. The chicken was crispy, the waffle was savory, and the bacon was thick and delicious. It has a little sauce on the top that includes a Cholula syrup. I was stuffed after eating it. I also tried the bloody Mary. Delicious and filled with fresh horseradish. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cool. It's a tight spot but worth the visit. read more

Sunday Funday! Early brunches are starting to be my vibe. Came to Mom's on a Sunday around 11am and it was packed. Only 1 table was available between the outdoor and indoor areas. We sat inside, scanned the menu and ordered our libations. I was torn between the mimosa and the hot girl summer. The mimosa comes in a huge 21oz goblet and the hot girl summer is served in a flamingo floatie! I went with the Hot Girl Summer. This is for the girlies who enjoy spicy cocktails.... If not don't pass Go! The cocktail was spicy and strong. For my meal I had the steak and eggs. Steak cooked medium, Eggs scrambled hard with Gouda cheese. The steak was cooked as asked and generously seasoned, the eggs didn't do it for me. Very chalky and lacking any type of flavor. We had an amazing waitress that continually checked in on us. I will definitely be back for that mimosa! read more

Mixed feelings with this place. Not bad, but also not the greatest. For starters there was too many flies inside & an ant on the table. Made me wonder if the kitchen was the same. service was good. The waiter was Very attentive and knowledgeable regarding the menu & best options. We ordered a chicken sandwich with truffle fries, and chicken, Mac & gravy. The food taste good but wasn't a fan of the Mac. Too liquidy for me. Although the menu seems big on breakfast & sweets/ desserts I wasn't too intrigued. It was cool visiting but don't see myself dining again. read more
