Yeah, wow, what a breakfast. The wait was about 15 minutes, half the time they said it would be, so great start. But the service and the food were terrific. Wide variety of traditional breakfast selections but all had a nice touch to make them specialized. Some spicy options available but everyone's food was full of really good flavor. Clean and welcoming atmosphere with character. Highly recommend, worth a wait. read more

We ordered the Veggie Lover's Scramble, the Farmer's Breakfast and a cup of coffee. The eggs, vegetables, sausage (awesome blended in house), biscuit and apple butter are excellent. The fruit is okay and the coffee very strong. This place needs to put some $$$ into the restrooms. read more

Met my son and his friends for breakfast before he left for OK. Seated right away, server was good. We all had eggs and bacon and potatoes. It wasn't super busy but busy enough for the food to take a bit. Everyone got their meals and I got mine about 5 minutes later. Coffee refills were quick and our server was attentive. The only other downfall was how long it took to get the bill. Mom's is a Chico favorite and is usually always busy no matter the time of year. read more

The service was a little slow (it was a busy Sunday brunch which is to be expected) but when the food came out it was amazing. The drinks were amazing and cheap and sitting outside was awesome. read more

Pancakes tasted like they were out of a box mix, did not serve maple syrup, eggs lacked flavor and coffee was very muddy, potatoes were boiled and no char was applied after for crunch, service was very good and outdoor seating is nice, shame the food is so subpar read more

Great food. Fun breakfast cocktails. Convenient parking. There was no wait for a table at 9am on a Holiday, which was a wonderful surprise. The chicken fried steak is great, classic style with a big pile of potatoes on the side and a couple of eggs. More than enough food for a single person, but not excessive. The bloody mary flight is lots of fun. The bacon was probably my favorite. But, the jalapeno and dill were quite good as well. There was plenty of metered street parking available and a paid parking lot right across the street. read more

The options in the menu as so amazing that I had such a hard time choosing! We settled for: Chicken and Waffles and Bacon Lover's Eggs Benedicta! Wow! We were taken care of within reasonable time. I prefer to go on a time that we do not have to be rushed and can relax and talk while we have breakfast. Call it Mom and daughter quality time. Make sure to try them and when you're back, you can try something else from the menu, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Let me know how you liked it when you go . read more

When you first walk in it feels a little old fashioned but that's not an issue. The place is amazing and has awesome customer service! The food is also amazing and I've been there many of times. Recently I had their homemade corn beef hash and it's been the best I've ever had! Definitely will be coming back in the future read more

Don't understand the popularity of this place. Food was ok but spent $70 on breakfast for 3 people. That's insane.

Food: I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak meal with toast, eggs and country potatoes. The meal was also served with a bit of fresh fruit, which I absolutely appreciated. Everything was tasty. Service: It was a bit poor. The server was probably overwhelmed because I came with a huge group of people. The server didn't ask if we needed anything else or never simply tried to refill our water cups. Overall Experience: Besides the service missing the mark, the food was good. read more

This place I give 4 stars, staff are polite attentive and professional. Food is mediocre nothing where I'm like "wow gotta go back!" For being in a college town it's perfect. Our breakfast came out quick. My daughters chicken and waffles was just there on the plate when it arrived nothing special..looked like the chicken was fried them microwaved. My breakfast came and the biscuit, ehh not warm, potatoes undercooked and my tizatiki sauce was not fresh and just looked like everything was plated then sat under heat somewhere...not sure but the omelette/egg scrambled or whatever was ok nothing special. If your in Chico on a visit give this place a try maybe you'll have a different experience! read more

Stopped in Chico to visit some friends and they raved about Mom's. So of course we had to try it! We had a party of 4 adults, a baby and a dog. The wait was pretty long. It was a Sunday morning though, so no surprise. We were told about 45 minutes and it took about an hour but it was fine. The weather was nice! Just be prepared to have a wait. Once we got to our table, it was pretty quick between getting our menus and then our food. The service was mostly great. Our server was slow to get us sauce or refill our drinks, but he was really fast in getting us our orders. I got the chilaquiles and it was very good! My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy which were great too. HUGE though. 3 eggs and 2 biscuits. The prices were awesome for the proportions! They instantly gave us a water bowl for my dog, which is always my favorite thing. They also were fast to get us a high chair. We were overall very impressed read more

Came here during memorial weekend and there was only a 10 min wait. Not bad! They also had ample outdoor seating where we could sit while we wait for our table. Service was speedy and friendly. I ordered the veggie omelette which had loads of spinach, peppers, with some cheesy bites. There were other veg too but I don't remember. It was a good balance of light, filling, with bites of cheese. The potatoes were ok in my opinion, seemed like an afterthought. The biscuit was crunchy outside and fluffy inside. Exactly what you want when u picture the perfect biscuit. My partner ordered the biscuits and gravy with 3 eggs. The gravy was DELISH. Loved it and was jelly since I chose the healthy route. The gravy had deep sausage meaty flavor with small chunks of sausage. Smothered on top of their perfect biscuits. Great hangover cure! Lastly the bloody Mary's are huge and nicely strong. Recommend! read more

This place is always has a line outside waiting but they seat you pretty timely. There is a large outdoor seating area off Salem and 2nd St where you can sit and enjoy a meal with your 4-legged pals. The interior vibe is country kitchen and the meals are just that - large portions for us country folk. The generous portions can be shared for sure or grab a to-go box to enjoy your leftovers later. The service was outstanding from the hostess to the sever. The coffee was hot and creamer with added vanilla flavoring was a hit. The food is good but it's not outstanding so the 5 stars goes for the overall experience of great customer service and a good hearty meal to start your day. read more

This place confuses me, plenty of customers and some of the dishes like the corned beef hash suggest they care about putting the time into making stuff from scratch. I can appreciate that. What confuses me is how it seems like there are corners being cut. The last few times I've been here I eat at the bar, and I've noticed that the waitresses never sanitize the bar. I noticed the waitress today cleaned up after the person next to me by sweeping up crumbs with her hand, and then without washing her hands put new silverware down on the unsanitized surface for the next guest. I would assume that the bar staff should be the most proficient waiters and waitresses out of the whole restaurant, and I noticed the bussers for the main dining area use a spray bottle of sanitizer. Also noticed that when I order my eggs over hard that every single yolks is broken, I'm assuming this is on purpose? As a breakfast spot, this place has the potential to be five stars for me but missing the mark on some obvious stuff. read more

Nothing like an amazing breakfast at mom's. This place has some very delicious food. Great service as well. Highly recommended! read more

Wow! This place was great. So we were in town just dropping our son off for school and searched Yelp to find a place to eat and noticed all the 5-star reviews and said we gotta go in. There was a big crowd outside and the wait was about 30 minutes. The wait was worth it. Everything on the menu looked great so it was hard to decide but I saw someone with a BLT and agreed I had to have that. I've never had a bacon sandwich with this much bacon, it had about 8-10 pieces of bacon, almost a full pound. It was so good. My wife had the grilled cheese and loved it. My son got the beef dip and it has tons of meat. All of our plates were huge. Next time I'm in town we will definitely stop here Again. read more

This place was highly recommended to us and it did not disappoint. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, but if the weather is nice I like to sit outside. The food here is very good. My friend ordered the vegetable scramble and she enjoyed it. The veggie hash was my favorite item of the morning. We ordered a screwdriver and the bloody Mary flight. The screwdriver was okay, they make it using vanilla vodka which I wasn't a fan of. The flight was very tasty though. read more

Such a cute place and food was great! Mom's famous hashbrowns were amazing! Would love to go back and try more items on their menu.

Mom's will always have a place in my heart as my college favorite. Coming here post grad I was a little underwhelmed. The coffee refills are prompt and the prices are fair, but the best things here are the ambience/location, not so much the food. Our particular server seemed annoyed by splitting our bill... read more

The fried chicken and waffles with the house made jalapeño honey is amazing! My daughter loved the cinnamon apple chai drink she had. We sat outside with our dog and enjoyed the nice weather. read more

Mom's atmosphere is a very fun vibe. The staff is lively, the place is vibrant at brunch time, and the food comes out fast. However, I wasn't wowed by their take on typical brunch offerings. I'm a suckered for chicken fried steak and eggs, and it was on the pricier side ($17) and my serving was on the smaller side. Good flavor, but not a great that really was worth $17. Plus, the potatoes came out soggy which is never a good time at brunch. However, they check the boxes when it came to typical offerings like bacon, eggs, and toast that were served during our visit. Pro tip - get extra apple butter! read more

Cute restaurant sat outside. The weather was perfect. The waitress is very friendly super nice came and checked on us quite a few times the food was really delicious. I got the Chico plate and it was almost more food than I can eat left very full. I would highly recommend. The cost was really good for what you got. read more

Came in for a Bloody Mary and it was bomb! They had a flight which I wish I should I have gotten but maybe next time. Giving it a four because I did not try the food but it looked and smelled really good! Nice vibe, college students and locals and friendly/quick service. read more

My family and I always love going here. Today, my husband and I got an amazing server named Tracy. She was very attentive and thoughtful of my dietary restrictions. She made us feel very welcomed. The gluten free pancakes are a must! Gnarly breakfast scramble is just as named. My husband said the sausage patties are the best sausage he has ever had in his life. Thank you for great service, Tracy! read more

I really need to complement your new waitress. She's blonde and has the most prettiest smile. I haven't seen anyone love what they do in a long time. So helpful and friendly. I used to work at brunch in Chico in my 20s and I it's hard to point out someone like me who has same energy working. The food was on point and was nice way to start our Friday. My parents and I will definitely be back and ask for her every time cause she so welcoming and her smile brighten up your day. read more

Having spent Mother's Day at Mom's a couple of years ago while visiting Chico, I was happy to return now that we've moved to town. The warm, cozy vibe still makes Mom's special -- amiable staff and charming decor (we love the Tiffany-style lamps) welcome us -- and the menu and beverage options (and portions) are delightful. My ABC (avocado, bacon, cheddar) omelette was a generous size and full of flavor, served alongside slices of watermelon and orange plus a biscuit with apple butter, and my mimosa ("Mommy's Little Helper") was perfect, filled to the brim! A huge shout-out to awesome Karen, who was our friendly server from our first visit a few years ago and who went above and beyond for us again, especially as we had our two grandsons in tow this time and Karen has a wonderful way with little kids. Can't wait to return! read more

We went there this morning for the second time and it was great service,and ambiance! The food was delicious and I chose to go here because I saw they had gluten free options(you can have gluten free bread/toast,and gluten free pancakes or waffles. If you have Celiac though there will be cross contamination on the griddles they do tell you that. I'm only gluten intolerant so this isn't a problem for me. They were also able to help me navigate making my meal dairy free,very helpful waitress! read more

Anticipation loomed as we waited to be seated. Big disappointment with not so clean place setting and not very tasty veggie skillet. The service is so poor and then you realize this place is run by and cater to this generation college student... read more

Super yummy food and the drinks we had were awesome!! We tried the Bloody Mary sampler and it was super fun to try all the flavors (dill was our fav). The sampler is enough for two to share. We both got an omelette and it was delicious!! The food portions are pretty large so if you're not super hungry or can't take a to-go container with you, I recommend maybe splitting a plate. The restaurant is very homie and the decor is fun to look at! There is parking around there but you do need to pay. I like parking further down the road near the houses/apartments and walking up to make it easy! Highly rec! read more

Loved Mom's and frequently went to Chico just to eat there. However, when management from the Sierra Tap room took over, the menue favs were replaced with heavier food. Still some good food, but missed the small Mediterranean plates! I'm more of an eater for taste than for lots of heavy food. read more

Breakfast outside at 8am in June. Excellent service. Clean tables and cloth napkins (always a plus over paper in my book). Pretty good coffee. Huevos Rancheros Tostada not bad. Their menu is limited if you wish to order seperate items such as a side of eggs and so on. read more
