Today's review comes from a small town Mom and Pops restaurant. Simply put Momma's Kitchen. First note, this restaurant is NOT easy to be seen especially if you didn't already know before hand of where it is. It's kind of tucked away behind the gas station, Shell Station, it's along the extremely busy and fast moving Hwy 69. There is a stoplight to get into the gas station and the awesome lil community/town of Humboldt. Otherwise you'll fly right by it. Immediately there is a lack of parking next to the restaurant. If your looking for a disability parking spot, I'm not sure if they have one to think about it, but finding a parking spot alone could be a challenge. My first impression is that it's going to be a neat, small hometown type of atmosphere. You know like a simple kitchen all the locals go to. I was ready to gettin my eaten on as my wife says I say, (personally I think she's hearing things but hey gotta keep the wife happy). Upon entering we were Immediately greeted and seated. No seats had any duck tape keeping the seats together but hey that's not always indicative on how good the food will be. Sometimes the most worn down places being held together by duck tape or baling wire seem all too often serve the best food around. The volume of noise was very low. Perhaps because it was during the breakfast hours and nobody in the restaurant was awake yet? lol So conversations was easy to hear amongst us at the table. Aside from the occasional clinging noises made by others stirring their coffee cream/sugars and their conversations the volume was on the low side. Menu offers a wide selection and they adjusted things to my liking's without issue's. Side note, gotta love the head tilt or sigh or even that stare of death so graciously handed out by impatient servers. (I really am not that picky but with food allergies I'm required to be a little selective on ingredients) In fact today our server was very pleasant, attentive and answered questions politely. Almost seemed as if she was happy to be at work. It was an almost fall out of my seat kind of polite. A southern style kind of thing. All of the menu's were clean and not stuck together like with syrup or whatever else they often get on them throughout the day. Food arrived in a fairly timely manner and the portion sizes were not on the skimpy side. I heard no complaints from the herd I bring along with me so everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. To be fair, there's no doubt they have a good cook or bad cook type of days which now means I'm obligated to give em another shakedown later to see consistency. Prices and amount of food your served were on average as other local restaurants so that was expected. Another failure, #2 on my part was I was unable to get to the loo to check cleanliness and if it's ADA accessible for wheelchair/mobility restricted individuals. Most all businesses have ADA complaint facilities but the majority lack the room needed for transferring from a wheelchair to commode vice versa. That's a huge difference. And to some a big difference on being a pateron or not. Kind of the same as to disadvantaged individuals parking spots and accommodations. That'll to will be on the next trip for certain. So bottom line. I give Mama's Kitchen a solid 4 for this time. As always, I rarely give out anything higher than a 4. It's not they did anything wrong however there is always room for improvement somewhere even though i might not have seen it this visit. (Final note, a throw out to all my fellow brothers and sisters whom currently are or are now a veteran, I failed to see if they are a pro military, public servant business and offer the near common 10% incentive or not. I normally ask about this after I pay my bill) I don't want to set-up any business with asking before hand. It also gives the employee an out so to speak if the businesses don't. It's certainly not the staffs decision. So that's failure on my part #3. Better end this review quick before finding out anything else) Hahaha Sit down, kind of relax a bit, and enjoy a meal at this restaurant! read more
