    Seabass, green beans, Irish potatos, the remainder of my salad.
    Miss M.

    I don't usually go to this area of town so I thought I'd try a little something different while over there. My Mother's Restaurant looked like it might be it. It's an old strip mall right on the road with limited parking. I was there early so I'm guessing it wasn't a problem. At first I was the only one there and then three other groups came in. The menu is not huge but it's varied. The weight staff was quick and kind. I have sea bass on the menu for $17! So I got it! But I won't do it again. It was dry, a day old, And Char grilled which I don't like. I did like the green beans a lot. They've been cooked long enough and had some flavor besides of can taste. They have a small salad buffet with just the right amount of things and even blue cheese dressing! It's clean and well kept. I didn't notice any booths that were cracked or torn. If I'm back that way someday I might try something else!

    Brought my friend at 6pm on a Saturday night. Now wait and service and food were amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. We enjoyed everything. Wish we had room for the pie. The restrooms were clean.

    I've passed by this spot a few times and have stopped in before just for the sweet butter and bread, which honestly was enough to keep me curious. Today I finally decided to sit down and have a full meal, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Mom's Special Prime meal, and it was genuinely satisfying--simple, comforting, and done right. Perfect if you want to dine in without feeling rushed or stuck there too long. The service was very responsive and attentive, and I really appreciated the care they showed throughout my visit. The ambiance feels like stepping back into the 1970s in the best way warm, nostalgic, and charming. Overall, it's a cute little spot, and if you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by.

    My comfort restaurant. Warms my heart and feels like a giant warm hug. The price is reasonable, portions huge, and they have amazing PIES! I eat here at least once a month and have never left unsatisfied. The staff are always friendly and on top of their tables. Favorite entrees- pot roast, meatloaf and the roast turkey dinner WITH cranberry. Favorite soup- vegetable beef and the potato soup. Pie- BANANA, coconut and strawberry.

    I can't believe I've never reviewed My Mother's Restaurant! It's been a favorite of mine for many years. A friend introduced me to My Mother's Restaurant. It did not look like much from the outside, and I was skeptical as to why she had recommended it. But once I went inside and saw the cute salad bar and the enormous slabs of pie, I knew I was in a great place! Everything is homemade at My Mother's, from the bread, soups, and salads, to the crust on all of their pies. My favorite pies are the chocolate cream and the chocolate peanut butter. The pie flavors vary per day, so be flexible with your choice. You might get to try something new! Their prices are very fair for the large portions of food that you will receive. The service is friendly and it's a family-run business.

    Thanksgiving dinner

    So good! It was Thanksgiving day and we were out of town and my husband wanted a traditional Thanksgiving turkey meal. We found this place to be open on Thanksgiving. Our hopes weren't too high, but we were wrong!! Everything was great and perfectly seasoned! Definitely recommend this placed. I had the chicken fried chicken and that with the gravy was amazing!!

    After one year of living up the street, we finally decided to give My Mother's Restaurant a try as we were craving a home style dinner. The restaurant seems somewhat hidden, though right off the Main Street. The interior isn't anything special. A little bit bland and boring, and shall I say outdated? But I had read reviews prior and the place seemed promising. Prices are decent for the offerings and overall service was good. We were given a small loaf of bread which was warm and tasty. Not sure if it was fresh baked but it could pass as though it was. We started off with the sautéed mushrooms which were a great starter. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak dinner which came with one visit to the salad buffet (limited offerings but all vegetables were fresh and crispy, leaving me satisfied), two sides (I chose mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, both of which were tasty). The serving sides were plenty, which certainly justifies the price point. I enjoyed about half of my meal at the restaurant and took my leftovers to have for lunch the next day. My friend ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and a trip to the salad bar as well. And my partner ordered the Chicken Parmesan which came with spaghetti, and also ordered the buffalo wings, both of which he says were good. Overall, we were satisfied with our choice of dinner at My Mother's Restaurant.

    What a HIDDEN GEM. I seriously could have been back in my grandma's house and honestly from the decor to the food it might as well have been my grandma's house. Our waiter was so kind and the food came out hot and quick. The complimentary homemade bread and sugar butter was so good. But the pot roast and chicken parm were the stars.

    Me. I was there. "As rare as possible" is exactly what I said.

Inside atmosphere, upscale pizza place. Staff was attentive throughout the night. All of the food hits. Maybe I'm sucked in to the lore, but I don't care. All of the food brought flavor worth the hype. This is the kind of spot you want to bring your out of town guests to. Experience it, I know I will again. Best result for me was an air fryer for the leftover pizza.

    After 30 years of dreaming about this moment, I'm finally here at Pizzeria Bianco. Many of us…read moreremember the mid-1990s when reports were coming out of Phoenix that some new pizzeria might just serve the best pizza in the United States! What? So far from New York? How is this possible? And the reports kept coming. Bronx native Chris Bianco had done the impossible, expanding authentic pizzas beyond the Mississippi River. The accolades and awards were endless, the critics raved, and even documentaries were produced. So we all started putting this place on our bucket list. I finally made the pilgrimage in 2026 to this mecca, this icon, this uber-famous destination. And it was worth the hype! The most beautiful red sauce complements the perfectly stretchy fresh mozzarella. Since I opted for the Sonny Boy, I was treated to high quality slices of salami and whole olives.The crust is thin, charred in various spots, slightly crispy on the bottom but still properly chewy. It is a thing to behold, ranking right up there with the best pizzas I've had in Italy and the states! I wish the olives were halved and not whole so they wouldn't roll off my pizza. But I didn't care. I even violated my germaphobic code for the first time in decades and snatched an olive off the table, it was that good! Because of its location inside Heritage and Science Park, there is a mandatory $10 parking charge for valeting plus a recommended tip. There is no validating inside the restaurant. But the surprise surcharge was also worth it!

    Cibo is the kind of place that helps define a city. And this part of downtown Phoenix (the…read moreRoosevelt District) has had a rebirth in a city that's matured tenfold over the last twenty years. It had been a minute, but my friends and I made the Cibo lunch scene the other day. Now, when Italian-Americans order lunch, it's a given, EVERYTHING ordered is for the table. The pizza was as good as any Neapolitan-style pizza in town, including that dude named "Chris". The arancini was slightly over-fried, but I actually dug the crunch. Salad, fresh. Staff, energetic and fun. Fellas, take your date. You'll be a hero. Some places are restaurants. Some become part of a city's story. Cibo feels a lot like the latter.

    Went from 5 to 3 Stars; only because past experiences were so good! Went in for lunch the other day…read moreand the service was AWFUL! There were kids at the drink station filling up cups. We were seated and immediately after sitting down I literally couldn't hear anything anyone was saying at my table. Most the customers were crammed into the front right room and it was impossible to hear anyone at my table with loud women surrounding us enjoying lunch (which is fine) but break up the crowd a little.. I immediately stood up and asked to be moved so we could atleast hear each other. The young teen who Sat us was very helpful and moved us to a different table in the back right. When I tried to order the appetizer, I said "Yes, (looking at the waitress) we'd like to split a Caprese ( glances at my daughter to confirm in a questioning voice hesitating at the end) The waitresses said, "ok, I'll come back in a few when you figure it out" obviously not willing to wait a few seconds for a confirmation. We just sat there going Wow?!? That was wild, we also had our pizza orders ready but ended up waiting till she wandered back our way. The entire time we felt like we were keeping her from her kids? Grandkids? We definitely put her out, drinks were not offered beyond the first, I had to ask for a second one. The pizzas came, but not mine. I was informed it was wrong and they had to remake it. After my pizza finally came I realized it was still rather doughy and undercooked. We moved on as my daughters were done eating thier pizza and one of them grabbed boxes and we boxed them and waited to order crepes. We finally got our crepes and mine didn't look gf and was missing the allergy flag. We waited a few and I finally got up and went to the front room, the 2 teen girls (servers? They were serving) were messing around in the front room and almost ran into me when I FINALLY went up front to say My food had been messed up after it was dropped, no one checked back. They kept messing around and then stopped and looked at me asking if I needed help. I said YES please. She went into the side room to the front left and the waitress got up from the table where she was sitting with the other kids (that were at the drink fountain when we'd walked in.) She asked what she could help me with... I told her my gf pizza was not cooked all the way; I'd thrown it into a box (that we'd actually went to get) and I'll reheat it properly later and eat it, but the crepe I was concerned as there was not an allergy flag and it looked JUST like my daughters texture wise. I'm familiar with the crepes and I REALLY didn't think it was gf. She said she would not do anything about the pizza since I didn't mention it prior but the crepe was indeed gluten free. A little stunned I again said I would take the pizza home and reheat, I didn't ask for anything in regards to the pizza as they reheat well... and I would not eat the crepe, I truly didn't think it was gf! She said they'd remake it. I replied no thank you. (I'd already sat once while my party ate, for the gf pizza to be remade... I wasn't doing that again. With an attitude she told me she'd remove it from the bill! One bite was cut out and STILL on the fork, it should but have been an issue. I love Cibo and the food is amazing and it's worth the drive to come from Surprise for a treat, but that was a bit much...I'll be back, but I'll definitely ask for a different server!

You can also get a whole pie of your choice. They grate fresh parm on all the slices which I thought was a nice touch. The girl at the register seemed very knowledgeable about all the pizzas and gave us lots of details and recommendations which we appreciated. First we got the green, di Parma, and the Phoenix. The green has pistachios and fresh arugula on it, I thought the overall flavor was too sweet and the pistachios weren't crush enough. The Phoenix was good, very honey forward and overall the flavor didn't stick out to me. The di Parma was a cheese pizza with procuttio and ricotta, overall a little plain to me. I think they all would've tasted better hot, but I understand that's not super realistic for a slice shop. For our second order we got the vodka sauce slice, which was for sure my favorite. First of all it was piping hot, and that elevated the whole experience. I thought the sauce was so flavorful and savory, and the basil made a perfect bite. I would go back for a whole pie of this! I really liked the prices here, we got dinner for less than $25 for 2. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some other slices and get a pie of the vodka!
