    Mom’s is simply an amazingly delicious, affordable and cool breakfast nook in Midtown just minutes walking from Times Square. Come early to put your name on the list because there might be a 30 minute wait around noon on the weekends. The chicken waffles and grits with shrimp are just divine.

  • Review 2 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent experience! From the walk in the atmosphere was pure vibes. The music was loud enough to sing along without being overbearing. Crystals energy upon approach to our table was magnetic. She was friendly, accommodating, and super chill. I ordered the Cinnamon Apple French Toast with vanilla ice cream and a side of turkey bacon. Absolutely delicious! The White Christmas Coquito rimmed with coconut flakes was even more delicious! The beschamel sauce was the perfect blend of cheeses. I would also recommend the Papas Peach which is a perfect blend of an Arnold Palmer and Bourbon. 1000% returning. Moms Kitchen definitely felt like my moms kitchen ❤️

    Our waiter, Phil was friendly and professional. We had a party of 6 and our food arrived quickly. The food was hot and fresh. Abe stopped over to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. And of course we were! Also, since we were visiting from out of town, he gave us some great places to visit. We definitely would recommend this place for the food, service and atmosphere.

    Amazing little diner! Really relaxed atmosphere with music and multiple televisions playing disney films when we went! Great for all ages. Food is utterly incredible! Recommend the breakfast sandwich!

  • Review 6 (2024-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Looked everywhere for a restaurant with homemade meals open on Thanksgiving. Im glad i found Moms Kitchen! Amazing food, just what we needed after walking miles in NYC, close to our hotel, good drinks!

  • Review 7 (2024-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    I make it a point to hit up mom‘s kitchen and bar every time I’m in New York. A staple for me? Absolutely their fruity pebbles pancakes 🤤. I’m a sucker for a retro/eclectic restaurant design and this place hits all the marks. With 90s cartoons playing on the TV is above you, great music on the speakers (a little loud for over 30 me but still enjoyable), and 90s paraphernalia scattered throughout the restaurant, Moms knocks it out of the park paying homage to the 80s babies and our childhood.On the weekend, it gets super busy so be prepared to wait 40 minutes or so but I think it’s worth the wait. However, last time we were there, we got the food within 10 minutes or less of ordering so it makes up for it. Other staple I recommend would be a boozy milkshake if your stomach can handle all the dairy!

    This place is amazing! Diana was our server and she was simply the best! The food came out hot and it was delicious! The host was kind enough to change our table after we were seated. They also have a great playlist of music. Please visit! They do don’t disappoint!

  • Review 9 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    This spot is incredibly cool—its trendy yet has a comfortable vibe. The staff is friendly and down-to-earth, making you feel right at home. Adorable kid’s menu. Its just a fun place to enjoy lunch or brunch!

  • Review 10 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Really excellent choice for unpretentious comfort food. The portions were generous & very well prepared.

  • Review 11 (2024-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    Fun and creative menu with an easy relaxed vibe. I had the pancake burrito which was a nice mix of pancake, egg, bacon and sausage. Add maple syrup and you have it all!

  • Review 12 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent brunch spot. Delicious and creative menu. The wait time for a table was only 10 minutes at 11 am on a Sunday. Our waitress was very nice and helpful with suggestions. The music was at a good level so I didn’t have to shout across the table (it was just a 2 top). I definitely want to go back to have one of their shakes and other dishes that looked really good.

  • Review 13 (2024-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great Drinks!! And good food i will be back!! Large portions and they let me do turkey bacon instead of pork for my chicken and waffle. The Bulldog marg was 🔥

  • Review 14 (2024-01-04 - Rating: 4)

    This was our first time at Moms. The menu was fairly limited but the options were unique and creative. My partner had the breakfast sandwich which he said was good. I had the chicken sandwich which I thought was great and Id really recommend this item from the menu. There was a hint of sweet, a hint of spicy, tons of flavour and crunch. Really fabulous sandwich.The service was nice and prompt. A little on the pricey for a brunch/lunch though.

  • Review 15 (2024-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    You’ll want to take a nap after eating here. The portions are massive, I recommend going with others to try and share plates.Went with family and everything we had was at least good - most of the dishes were amazing.For savory dishes, the pancake burrito tasted like an elevated McGriddle. The mac and cheese was rich and heavy, honestly could be an entree instead of an app. The chicken and waffles were great - the waffles has a bouncy, mochi-donut like interior, and the chicken was crisp and juicy. Though separate dishes, eating the cheese bites with the tomato soup was amazing.The bedrock pancakes were sweet, but surprisingly not too sweet despite the appearance. The freshness of the fruit complimented the sweetness crunchiness of the pebbles and fluffy pancakes.The shakes were addicting. Me personally, I thought the peanut butter one was a bit too thick and sweet. Had to eat it with a spoon and could not finish it.Service was great. I would definitely go again for a hefty brunch with friends.

  • Review 16 (2025-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Upleveled Americana brunch turned up to 11 to make your heart sing with heavy hitting, large portions and drinks such as Bloody Mary and hot apple cider. Get all the weird sounding, delicious mashups and revel in their glory. Nothing fickle.

  • Review 17 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 4)

    Quick service! It was a delicious breakfast with a cool atmosphere!

  • Review 18 (2024-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    This place was lit!!! We came after the pride run and enjoyed great food and fun drinks!!! Staff is super friendly and engaging! My steak was cooked perfectly, I had the steak and eggs with the sassy classy and badassy drink!!! Come here for good music and good food and good vibes!!!!

  • Review 19 (2024-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    It was a good finding. The portions are really good in size and the food is really good. The Avocado Toast and the Build-Your-Own Burger are really good options. Mac & Cheese Pancakes are good but the portion of Mac & Cheese is small. Be aware, no espresso options

  • Review 20 (2024-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    I absolutely love this place. the food is always incredible and the staff are always so sweet. the interior design is so cute. not to mention the service is always super quick without sacrificing quality. whenever i’m in the city (like all the time) this is my go to place. can’t recommend enough!!

  • Review 21 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    What a great mid weeks brunch spot. Food is amazing but not what you go there for, unless you’re going for portion because it’s huge. Staff and service are fantastic

  • Review 22 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been to Mom’s kitchen in Astoria and it became one of my favorite brunch spots. Visited the one in the city and have to say that I enjoyed the here food much more! I loved their fried chicken sandwich and home fries with a side of aioli sauce! The service and staff were amazing, very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Another plus for this place is that it’s very affordable compared to many other brunch spots.They have a wide menu and their ambiance is welcoming for families and friends. Definitely check this spot out if you are around Times Square looking for a great, affordable and delicious place to eat brunch.

  • Review 23 (2023-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    I read the rave reviews and stopped by. I was immediately greeted and seated. Atmosphere was fun with moderately loud music that I liked playing (90s rock/pop/ country). TV had a cartoon playing with no sound. A super friendly waitress took my order for cinnamon roll pancakes just a few minutes after I sat down. They came quickly and were nice and hot. They was good but I didnt order what I thought was an add-on of apple compote, but I got it anyway. They were good but not exactly what I expected. The pancakes themselves were either some flavor to seem like a cinnamon bun or made with something else as they were not white/ yellow like i expect a pancakes to look but brown. And there was not much of the cinnamon or icing toppings- just a drizzle around the plate and over the 3 pancakes- and no syrup so they were not as sweet as I expected. I know I have a sweet tooth but these were not my favorite. They might be great for someone else. I have had cinnamon roll pancakes at IHOP and Dennys and both were far sweeter than these. But the service and coffee were excellent and the pancakes were fluffy so maybe I will just try pain pancakes next time.

  • Review 24 (2024-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    When someone has Shrimp & Grits on their menu, you know it’s for a reason. I’m telling you, these were some of the best grits I’ve ever had! Highly recommend and cannot wait to return. The service was 10/10, the food arrived quickly, and even though it was busy, we opted to sit outside, and it was just as delicious as if we had sat indoors. The food came out hot! My best friend got the pancake burrito, and my daughter had the burger. GO HERE!

  • Review 25 (2023-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibes and good dinner food. I had the cranberry salad with fried cutlet and it was so yummy. My friend had the waffle which she loved. The cocktails were good. I ordered an extra shot for more potency. Def stop by for great dinner food.

  • Review 26 (2023-10-29 - Rating: 4)

    Visiting NY and landed here. Ordered a black bean burger. It was pretty good. The place is obviously pro LGBTQ, which I was happy to patronize. Server was attentive, and food came out rather quickly. Enjoyed the drink I ordered, and the environment was inviting. Would recommend!

  • Review 27 (2021-09-25 - Rating: 4)

    Really nice place! Very welcoming and service was fantastic! Food was pretty good. My daughter had the fruity pebbles pancakes (of course) and they were very sweet, but that’s to be expected! She just didn’t love the syrup. I had steak and eggs and it was very good! Eggs were delicious. Steak maybe a little on the tough side but still very good. Wish we had more room left to have tried one of the milkshakes. Next time though because we would definitely come back. Recommend checking it out for sure! Great vibe!

  • Review 28 (2022-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    So the food looked awesome but unfortunately the chicken was overdone and dry. The breading was great and as much as I was excited for that really thick bacon it was almost unbeatable. It had a hard as a rock strip and inconsistent cook felt like it had been sitting a while. My wifes burger was great same bacon issue but cooked great and nice flavor. The honey sauce is good just not a honey guy so I recommend getting it on the side. The staff was fast friendly and the drinks great.

  • Review 29 (2023-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Best chicken and waffles dish I’ve ever had. I crave it all the time. Waffles was fluffy and perfectly crisp on the outside. Chicken was fried perfectly as well - super flavorful and not oily. The sauce on top brings it all together as well. Get the hot chocolate as well (winter time)!

  • Review 30 (2022-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    This place was awesome. My girlfriend started with a “Hot Girl Summer” drink because she loves all things flamingo. I got the Crispy Chicken and Gravy dinner which came with two sides. I chose the Mom’s mashed potatoes and the Mexican Street corn. Everything was delicious the chicken was super crispy. The portions were generous. We also tried an order of the Bedrock Pancakes for dessert. Those were also amazing. Would highly recommend. Staff was super friendly. Will go back. A lot of cool things on the menu.

  • Review 31 (2022-09-10 - Rating: 4)

    Overall, good food and a fun vibe. NOTE: they charge a 3% credit card feeThe bedrock pancakes had tons of berries and fresh whipped cream. Chicken and gravy came with 2 sides, and tasted good. However, it didnt come with enough gravy- the chicken was a bit dry and and mashed potatoes didnt come with extra gravy. There was an assortment of sauces available on the table though.I ordered the ginger beer cocktail, which wasnt too sweet

  • Review 32 (2023-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    I have been there twice, and I will bring every tourist friend to this place to see the cute old style American dinner place. The stuff are absolutely amazing, very helpful, and caring. Food is delicious and the portions are giant. The sweet potato waffle fries are out of this planet!! When you get those speciality drinks you get to take the rubber duck with you. Definitely will be back!

  • Review 33 (2024-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    After Church, we were looking for a quick bite to eat before heading to a show. Online Moms looked like an eclectic vibe so we decided to check it out. It was busy but they were able to get us sat in less than 5 minutes. Marlin was very attentive and on top of making sure we had what we needed. For food options, we opted for the Woodland Omelette and the Mac and Cheese Pancakes. Yes, I said Mac and Cheese pancakes! I didnt know what to expect but they were fantastic with the right balance of cheese with the honey syrup.

  • Review 34 (2024-01-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great service and awesome portions. Our kids got some appetizers which was more than good enough as dinner for them. There are some comfort favorites on the menu such as tator tots and chicken and waffles. My daughter also got one of their shakes which was mind-blowing. Definitely recommend, but just note that they dont accept reservations so be prepared to wait a bit during the peak times such as Sunday brunch.

  • Review 35 (2024-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    As good as they said it would be! From the friendly staff to the delicous food, it was exactly what we wanted to experience in a NY diner. Highly recommended.

  • Review 36 (2022-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    We got avocado toast and Chicken & Bacon Waffle. It was delicious after a workout! Gave a 4 star as I felt the quality wasn’t good enough for the price and they don’t take reservations.The avocado toast was good but tasted more like what I would expect out of a Mexican restaurant with the ingredients.Chicken waffle was seasoned well but a bit over fried.

  • Review 37 (2023-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this restaurant. The music wasn’t too loud and they had Disney movies playing on the TVs! My husband ordered the pancake burrito and didn’t leave a crumb on the plate. I enjoyed my strawberry shortcake shake.

  • Review 38 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 4)

    Very cool vibes and great music! Seated right away on a Sunday morning. Food was good- had the mushroom omelet with the side salad, which came with a phenomenal dressing! Waitress was friendly, though we didnt really see her more than taking our order and giving us the bill. Drinks took a little while to come out, and all we got was water and a coffee. Took one star off for the $4 coffee that was honestly pretty terrible- super watered down- came out about a minute before my food so I didnt really even touch it other than the first sip. Probably wouldnt have ordered it if I knew it was gonna take so long and taste like that. Ah well.. I definitely recommend if youre looking for a restaurant with a fun atmosphere and different menu.

  • Review 39 (2023-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    They accommodated our party of 14, a lively spot, food was good! All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Id visit again. Everyone enjoyed their entrées.

  • Review 40 (2019-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    We loved it. Everything was great, the service, the food and the atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome and gave great recommendations for us to try. I personally think the chicken and waffles were the best thing there. We will definitely be back when we come back to NY.

  • Review 41 (2023-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    I came here one day with my boyfriend. He suggested it because I was craving breakfast food. They have all day breakfast. The atmosphere is so 90 themed and I love it. The menu is so cute it looks like MTV from he 90s. I had the pancake omelet and it wasnt bad it was okay. We also had tator tots which were good. I had the rainbow bright milkshake which was so yummy. My boo had ordered Mac and cheese and it was amazing. We came back and this time I had the mom burger which was so so so good. I didnt get to try the wings my boo ordered but they looked good. Wasnt expensive either.

  • Review 42 (2024-07-08 - Rating: 4)

    Service was really slow to respond to us after we were seated. Everything was fine after we were noticed. I think shifts were changing and the remote card readers werent working well. Food was good. The milkshake did not seem to be from ice cream and wasnt cold. Did I say the food was good? I also had a coffee cocktail that was really nice. I dont remember the name.

  • Review 43 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    We had dinner here with a large group, letting us try many dishes at once because the portion sizes are so generous! This is a standard Americana menu that dips into various regional cuisines, from cajun, southern, to midwestern classics, with many vegetarian options for those looking. Likewise, there are plenty of mocktails for those with a non-alcoholic preference. I had bayou shrimp with a side of moms fries and mac and cheese—crisp potatoes with a great sauce, richly cheesy mac and cheese, and lively, spicy shrimp—and was able to try my friends potatoes, burgers, and chicken. Everything is extraordinarily well done! You cant go wrong with any option.Service was quick, attentive, and warm!

  • Review 44 (2023-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Chicken and Waffles are to die for. The Bloody Mary was a meal in itself. Boozy, spicey and full of bacon. Mac and Cheese pancakes were phenomenal as well.

  • Review 45 (2024-03-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for brunch. Nice and decently friendly staff. Just wish they were a little more attentive to our needs.

  • Review 46 (2022-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Chicken and waffles are amazing!!! I don’t usually eat waffles because they taste soggy to me without syrup, but the waffles here were perfect! Chicken was flavored and a perfect crisp! The strawberry mimosa was good, and not sweet like I expected. The entire staff was extremely friendly and efficient! The food came out quick and our server gave great suggestions on beverages and food items. Shrimp and grits were also really good!

  • Review 47 (2022-04-12 - Rating: 4)

    Delicious diner style good with a fun flare. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. The milkshake was fully loaded. The side mac & cheese was underwhelming with hardly any flavor and the fries were pretty limp. But the burgers and thick cuts of bacon 🥓 were so so good.

  • Review 48 (2019-05-10 - Rating: 4)

    This place is a nice treat in Hells Kitchen.The food is good and full of comfort. From the Mac and cheese to the chicken and waffles, its all very tasty.The staff are friendly and helpful. Yessica was very nice and her service was great.The facilities are clean.The food was fresh.The drinks are interesting.The prices are just what youd expect in the neighborhood.This place is worth a visit!

  • Review 49 (2019-01-14 - Rating: 4)

    Had brunch at Moms Kitchen and BarBedrock pancakes, woodlands omlette, and fried cheese curds. The food was really good. The fruits for the bedrock pancakes were really fresh. Everything was cooked nicely. Service was wonderful. The only bad part was the long wait due to how many people were coming here, which attests to the food quality. However the hostess kind of forgot about us and I had to inquire of our table was ready.

  • Review 50 (2022-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed my visit to Moms! The food was great, and the service was excellent!!!I had the short rib sandwich that was so tender and flavorful, it literally melted in my mouth! Will definitely visit again the next time I am in New York!🎉🎉🎉

  • Review 51 (2024-08-31 - Rating: 5)

    Ive eaten here twice when visiting NY. Once for take out and this time for dine-in. Both times the food was quite good and the portions were huge. The servers have always been friendly and the atmosphere is super cute. I will definitely eat here again.

  • Review 52 (2024-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    We had a terrific experience having lunch seated at the bar with Andreina waiting on us. Absolutely loved the vibe, truly a fun environment with so much to look at while waiting for our food (which came out so fast, I couldnt believe it). Excellent customer service as well from start to finish. She answered any questions we had, refilled waters, and was so easygoing. It was a lot of fun watching some of the specialty alcoholic drinks being prepared, too.And the food!! The hubby and I split the short rib grilled cheese and the fried chicken sandwich. The grilled cheese was - for lack of a better way to explain it - like a very elevated sloppy joe, in the best way possible. It was delicious and hubbys favorite of the 2. The chicken sandwich was my favorite; chicken was so thin and crispy that I almost didnt let him have any! We opted for tater tots, and, honestly, how can there ever be anything bad to say about those? I knew I wouldnt have room for a milkshake, but I cant wait to try one next time.Highly, highly recommend stopping by for any meal. Or a snack. Or just a milkshake/drink.

  • Review 53 (2022-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    I normally dont swear when doing reviews, but this place was F**KING AMAZING!!!!! Great ambience, PHENOMENAL food! I felt a very strong sense of nostalgia! Watching cartoons on a Saturday morning like when I was a kid!! Our waitress, Joss, was incredible! Id recommend everyone to her section! The best grits Ive ever tasted HANDS DOWN!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

    After Sidewalk Cafe closed down, I was on the hunt for another boozy milkshake joint. In short, Moms is holding it down. Theyve got the boozy shakes, tasty eats and a nostalgic, homey atmosphere. Get in there!

  • Review 55 (2018-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    A real comfort food hot spot on the West Side. Minutes from the theater district so it is a good spot for a quick bite and its family friendly. Was voted best brunch in the hood. Cool menu items such as Mac and Cheese pancakes, Chicken and Waffles, Fruity Pebbles Pancakes, classic Wild wings, and drool worthy heavy metal disco fries. Two TVs in the dining area playing cartoons on a loop. Excellent bar options as well - picture a goblet sized beer or cocktail during happy hour for just $5!! Am a fan!

  • Review 56 (2019-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome place with a high energy vibe and great food. Very professional staff and conveniently located. I tried their Texas egg Benedict with brisket and I was Impressed. If mimosas are your thing they have some of the best Ive tried. Kids friendly with an adult twist.

  • Review 57 (2022-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect brunch spot not too far from Times Square. I ate outside because it is super beautiful out here. Lot’s of space inside and outside. The service was efficient and my pancakes were absolutely delicious. I wanted to get a shake but I’ll probably get one another time. The staff were very pleasant.

  • Review 58 (2021-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    This place has a modern dinner feel, I sat at the bar with my friend. We had mimosas, well its pretty hard to mess those up, and Im not a fan of bloody Marys but my friend liked it enough to have two. Their menue is very eclectic and puts a nice modern twist on old favorites. I got the Avocado toast revamped which was two thick pieces of sour dough bread and a generous amount of avocado slathered on top, diced tomatoes, pickled onions, cucumbers and arugula, two poached eggs with hollandaise sauce drizzled over them. It was super delish! My friend got the Chicken and waffles with bacon. It came with this challula infused pancake syrup that was sooo good! And whipped hollandaise; at first we thought it was whipped butter but we were wrong, it took was dreamy. Both plates were a smorgasbord of deliciousness. The service was very kind, attentive and personable. They were even so nice as to give me a little flamingo drink floaty because I spotted them and mentioned how they reminded me of home because Im from Palm Springs 🌴 I would definitely come back. And if you are in the area I would encourage you to check it out

  • Review 63 (2023-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    I was visiting by myself and initially requested a seat at the bar. I ended up getting seated at a table for 2 which worked out great and my server was very quick to take my order. While I waited did my food, I enjoyed straight bops, no misses and watched the Rugrats (!! adorable). My food came out hot and crispy and melty in all the right places. My only suggestion is that they provide more gravy but thats really being picky. Who needs more gravy ! I am unable to have a milkshake without having a serious bathroom emergency however the people across from me each got one and I was quite envious. They look amazing and if I was able to secure a private bathroom, Id probably order one myself.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moms Kitchen in Hells Kitchen, New York, and I must say that my experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a server named Valerie, whose friendliness and genuine warmth instantly made me feel welcome.Valeries exceptional service throughout my meal made it one of the best dining experiences Ive ever had. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was memorable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she skillfully answered all my questions about the menu with a delightful enthusiasm.Now, lets talk about the food—it was nothing short of amazing. Moms Kitchen truly knows how to deliver on taste and quality. The Mom’s Burger and Mac & Cheese Pancakes were delicious and bursting with flavor. Their mocktails were also very refreshing!Overall, Moms Kitchen provided an exceptional dining experience that I will cherish. The combination of Valeries friendly and genuine service, along with the delectable food, made it an unforgettable visit. Whether youre a local or a visitor to Hells Kitchen, I highly recommend Moms Kitchen for a truly delightful culinary experience.

    Love it here. Good menu selection. Even better drink selection. After running a 5k, friends and I decided to have a little Sunday funday. We may have had too much fun. And the service was all about it! Embracing us and letting us enjoy our fun. Benny was our server, and was a whole vibe himself. He was so attentive and so kind to us. Definitely need to go back. Thanks Benny!!

    This is my regular spot for New York trip. My kids love this place, and I was too. However, our recent visit wasnt very satisfied. Food and service were not good.

  • Review 67 (2024-07-07 - Rating: 4)

    Not sure how long it has been in business but it has a mixed vibe of 50s style diner by day and local Hells Kitchen bar by night although the food has been much upgraded from both of these eras. The place is definitely busy and food drink are a good testament to why. Came here because they were open fairly early on a Sunday and it was packed, so I sat at the bar. It doesnt diminish anything for the service in any way, in fact on a Sunday it may be more advantageous especially if youre alone, though I didnt feel like drinking that day. The food is not particularly sophisticated but very good and tasty with quite a bit of options to choose from and all expertly done. Coffee might need some work but for the ambiance and vibe it was exactly how it was supposed to be.

    What’s not to love! Had the breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Salad was great too, no limp lettuce and a nice dressing. Service was great and the music is loud enough but not too loud. TVs had Moana showing 😊

    2nd full day in NYC and found another diner near where we were staying. Found Moms Kitchen and Bar. It is nicely decorated inside with music memorabilia, old metal school lunchboxes that hold the condiments, and very unique. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was awesome. French toast was great with whipped cream and apples and cinnamon spiced. The fall specials were Fallmosa (pictured), pumpkin expresso martini, fall fizz mocktail, and cinnamon pumpkin stack pancakes. Will return here when I return to NYC.

    The food here is so rich and filling. At most restaurants I can usually clean my plate, but here I couldnt even finish a single one of the Mac and Cheese pancakes (which were incredible). The Hard Root Beer Float is on point. Definitely come to Moms Kitchen ready to eat.

    The wait to get a table was about 1h, so I recommend going right away to make a reservation and then going for a tour. Times Square is not too far away and you will be notified with a call when it is your turn and you will have 10 minutes to show up, otherwise you will lose your table.Very friendly and helpful staff. The dishes were plentiful and good. Definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu. Wifi available for customers although it does not work well.

    Really fun 90s diner aesthetic. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The cocktails were both fun and delicious - I got the Brews Clues and it was everything I wanted in a brunch cocktail.The one downer is that their fried chicken was incredibly dry. I got the fried chicken and gravy meal and while it was a LOT of chicken (three breasts!) and a lot of food for the price, there was also only a tiny side of gravy, which is not at all what Id expected from the menu description. Now, Im usually a big fan of fried chicken, but sadly I couldnt even finish it. (My dog was very happy about that though. 😉)All in all, I definitely want to go back, but steer clear of the fried chicken.

The service was attentive! The seasonal drinks were unique and tasted great! I got the hot girl summer (in the middle of October haha). I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the extra large English muffin made it very filling! The side salad was refreshing. Enjoyed my experience!

    Hear me out, I am not a big fan of traditional “American” food but this spot? 10/10. I mean it was a great experience from start to finish.Our server was super friendly and efficient, the food runners were so polite, the ambiance and music was perfect for the vibe they were going for.The wings we had as an appetizer, they were crispy and crunchy but nothing over fried, they had Buffalo sauce but just the right amount. We had a mom-osa, which is that 21oz spin on a mimosa, also was perfectly mixed with what I would say was 70% champagne,30% OJ. So really you only need 1.Lastly, the chicken and waffles we had was literally… The best I’ve ever had. Waffle was fluffy and delicate, the crisped bacon on top added a smoky flavor, and the perfectly seasoned and fried chicken on top made foe a mouth watering meal. Oh and that cheese sauce on top, plus honey cholula? To die for.No doubt that I’ll be back! Place was awesome.

    Mom’s is great for breakfast all day, good cocktails, and good music playing. The fried chicken sandwich is pretty decent but the chicken was a bit dry and could have been tastier if there was a bit more sauce added.If you can also catch a karaoke night, it’s always a good time!

    Best part about this place is the atmosphere. Reminded me of watching staurday morning cartoons! I tried the wings (half buffalo, half bbq) , strawberry shorty shake, and fruity pebbles shake. The wings themselves were PERFECT. The sauces were pretty lackluster and bland. Shakes were good, fruity pebbles one was the go to for sure. Fun place to eat but nothing spectacular. Should try the shakes with alcohol!

  • Review 118 (2024-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    We came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. Everything here was fantastic. The decor indoors was wonderful to look at; very calm and inviting. The staff were all very friendly and they seated us quickly. We started off with some cocktails suggested by our server Philip (Moms Margarita without the jalapeños, and the Duckie Slide). Both were fantastic and perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day. All the flavors blended well together and none of them were overwhelming.For food we started with the Buffalo Mac & Cheese Balls. These were AMAZING. We couldnt eat them fast enough. My friend had gotten the Shrimp & Grits, and I got the Chicken & Bacon Waffle. . Both dishes were fantastic, and they gave great portions, especially considering we were in NYC. The flavors were all very well balanced, and I especially love that the bacon was actually cooked, as some places gives you bacon thats floppy and soggy.Everything here was great. My friend and I had no issues whatsoever, and we plan to return to try more items on their menu. Highly recommended

    Love the charm of this spot and I’m so glad it’s in the neighborhood. Some places around have found a nice balance of stuffy and overrated, but Mom’s isn’t one of them. Cartoon Network playing quietly on tv’s (plenty out of the way) is part of it. The friendly greeting at the door too. The staff, very inexperienced but cheerful. Excellent coffee for a restaurant. The menu is a bit much to wrap your head around. Mac & cheese pancakes? But if you’re willing to try one of these dishes that fit the definition of American comfort food, you might be surprised in a good way. The food wasn’t outstanding, but it was tasty. Not piping hot, but not cold. Some of the details could be easily improved upon: a bit too warm (crack a window?), a bit too loud, maybe splurge on a fresh jalapeño—doesn’t five guys do that? Overall, we’ll definitely be back. Photo is Tex Benedict.

    I’ve been craving a good ol shrimp & grits. Luckily for me Mom’s was open before 11am. So I stopped in after smoking a doobz. I ordered a mom-osa that arrived in a 16oz glass containing more champagne than orange juice. I sipped it slowly while I waited for my delicious shrimp & grits to arrive. Being a true southern belle, I am a grit snob but whoever whipped up these grits was a pro! They were cheesy & creamy. The gravy really set off the taste. The shrimp were grilled to perfection. Cooked perfectly! I enjoyed this visit & will definitely return.

He was very helpful and honest with the menu. Everything was terrific. They offer standard drinks and house specialties. Food runs the gamut. Many selections. Everyone was very happy with there food and drink selections.The restaurant is large with a bar in the center. Dining areas surround the bar with table seating or high tops near the windows.

    I cant believe I waited so long to sing this restaurants praises. This place is excellent; super fun environment, family-friendly, with comfort food that is as big as your head!Ive visited this place three times (Jan & Dec 2023, & Feb 2024), and I dont plan on stopping. Each time made for a joyful experience with the people I ate with. Regardless of whether it was morning or evening, we were sat down quickly and had speedy & polite service. The dining area looks small, yet somehow they know exactly where to place everybody so no one is left waiting for too long. But still be wary of going during the holiday season; I can expect Christmas time to have tons of people wanting to come here, as it offers that bold, yet warm-hearted embrace that makes you feel like a kid again.It follows the mom theme with its portraits of famous TV mothers along the wall. There are also several television screens playing popular movies, including Spider Man & Moana. Its impossible to listen to it though, as there is loud music playing throughout the building, but I dont discredit the restaurant for this. I see the movie visuals as more of an added bonus to the childhood aesthetic they are going for.I tried sooo many things on their menu, all of them great, but for the sake of critiquing Ill put the Chicken & Waffles as my least favorite dish. The chicken was spicer than I preferred and had a lot of bone to cut around- it was like I was prepping my meal more than eating it.The Cinnamon French Toast was great, but really REALLY hearty; it was difficult to stomach it all in one sitting. To reiterate: their portions are HUGE! I would not recommend getting an appetizer & an entree if dining alone; unless you were the winner of the Nathans Hot Dog eating contest, youre going to be taking your food in a to-go bag.My favorite meal was the Bedrock Pancakes, which surprised me. This was the dish that I was most concerned about trying just because having big pancakes with fruity pebbles & whipped cream sounds like a recipe to the hospital. But the sweetness really wasnt overwhelming; I savored the pancakes natural flavor and the cereal complimented it. I still didnt finish it, but I gladly had seconds back at home.But one thing tops all the meals Ive had here (so far), something that isnt considered an entree, but I could have three of these in a row and wouldnt get tired: The Cheesy Grits. Not to be confused with the Shrimp Cheesy Grits, because thats different. The grits that only have cheese is my go-to order. It may only be a side dish, but it holds number one in my greedy heart. Theyre the best grits Ive ever had in my life- no exaggeration. Theyre always fresh and super creamy. Theyre the reason I never finish my entree, because I promise myself that I MUST finish the grits. Leave no morsel behind!For drinks, I typically order the standard orange juice, which was good and had no pulp. But one time, I tried one of their Bigmouth Shakes: The Rainbow Bright, with vanilla ice cream, fruity pebbles, berry syrup, a lollipop & slice of rainbow cake. I noticed they didnt include the cake with mine, but I already ordered so much it wasnt a big deal. Besides, I theorized that they were making a change to the menu and removing that altogether, but if this isnt true, then this was a blunder on their part. Theyre just lucky I was already overly-satisfied with the things I had. I think the milkshake is good as a dessert, rather than your primary drink, because then you may feel really bloated with all the sugar & calories youre intaking.This is without a doubt, a place of indulgence. A restaurant that you wouldnt take your friend whos on a strict diet to, because this is place where boundaries are nonexistent. Eat to your hearts content! I want to bring more people who havent experienced, Moms Kitchen & Bar here, so they too can try their awesome specials. Its like a grown up Chuck-e-Cheese, without all the games: Its a place where an you can be a kid.

    I went to Mom’s Kitchen and Bar today with my good friend and it was great! The atmosphere was very colorful and cozy without feeling cramped. My first drink was the Watermelon Sugar High and it tasted just like the watermelon sour patch kids. It was sweet and refreshing. It was perfection! To eat I got the avocado toast and it was the best avocado toast I have ever had. It was flavorful and filling. The avocado was perfect. The avocado, arugula, tomatoes and onions were in perfect harmony and served and a great bed for the egg and hollandaise sauce. I got the get out of my swamp drink and was not happy with it. The manager, AB was such a sweetheart. He asked what was wrong with the drink and offered to make it better and if I still wasn’t happy I could have the other option. He took the drink, improved it and it was awesome. The waitstaff was kind, polite and efficient. The manager was so nice and even told us about another Mom’s Kitchen and Bar in Astoria and I will definitely be going. Over all I had a great experience! The food and drinks were 10 out of 10 I would absolutely recommend!

    Went on a Thursday and got seated immediately. The mom-osa was huge and delicious. The food came fast and was pretty good. It was the little things for me though; the decor, the cartoons playing, the throwback bops, the way the server says “welcome home”. It was the attention to detail that really made it a unique experience and not just a meal at a restaurant.

    We got the avocado toast and the breakfast sandwich and the latte alcoholic drink and coffee. Overall, experience was good. Food was decent but not outstanding, coffee was meh, latte drink was yummy. Good service! Clean place. Very quick food to come out. Atmosphere felt retro and cozy.

    Putting fun first. This was our first time at Moms, having spent a few nights at a nearby hotel. We arrived around 9 am on a Sunday. Their stated hours claimed that was their opening hour, although plenty of people were already seated.Service was great, with an enthusiastic server quickly bringing menus, water, and coffee. Their brunch section is interesting, and my wife and I settled on an eggs benedict crossed with avocado toast, with lox added. It was quite good, although the flavors were a touch bland, and the hot components were a bit cool. An addition of hot sauce made the dish better. Service was fast and efficient, and the coffee was great. The thick cut bacon on the side was excellent. We could have stayed for quite a while, but its possible to have breakfast in 30 min.I would certainly return, and I like the kitchy pop culture atmosphere. If they could work to balance flavors a bit and ensure that their hot foods were in fact hot, Id increase my rating.

    Perfect place for those feel good comfort foods and amazing shakes. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. We had the Buffalo Macaroni and Cheese Bites along with the Mr. Fluffleupagus shake … Sooo good .. especially after seeing Hadestown a block away😍

    This place feels like home. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, the decor is colorful and fun. The food is flavorful and hearty and delicious 😋. We took a 10 min walk from our hotel in the arts district, it was worth every step. Enjoy the service with a smile. I will return. Thanks Mom,

    Second time here…this time with the kiddos…our professional burger eater (17) gave his burger 10/10….first…time…ever…. A feat we thought impossible….so I’d say eat the Mom’s burger!! ❤️

    I had breakfast here and the food was pretty good, but it is NYC so it was a bit pricey for a breakfast sandwich, but I understand why. The service was impeccable and I was in and out quickly.

    The graham cracker on the shake was immaculate, and the fruity pebbles in pancakes? Genius. Novel food worth the high price.

  • Review 168 (2024-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    We came in around lunchtime on a Thursday. The service here was fantastic. My group had the mac and cheese pancakes and the steak and eggs. The servings are huge so come hungry! I will say, after a handful of bites, the mac and cheese pancakes became a bit much and I questioned my order, even though it tasted amazing. I also got a milkshake, it was delicious. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to others traveling to the area.

    We are from Chicago. Great food, unexpected value. We were starved. Korean cauliflower appetizer easily could have served four. My husband had the fried chicken and gravy that came with two sides. He could not finish. I had the Chicken cranberry salad and a not to be missed Mexican corn. We both had black berry sangria and I could not resist the flamingo tequila as I could not have the giant shake that I was eyeing due to Lent. No reservations, come early.

    I still love my experience here. We came from my friends birthday. The environment was so cool with all the 90s themed homages everywhere including in the menu. The breakfast food was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and cant wait to return to try some more. I got the pancake burrito which was fantastic. I didnt care for the cinnamon latte cocktail. Is cinnabon on top is real dry, dont get it. My friend had the watermelon cocktail and it was really fantastic. The mac and cheese balls was also really good.

    A New York Diner that does not disappoint. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious dishes that have been reworked by the fabulous cooks. The atmosphere is fun and entertaining. The service is outstanding. The portions are more than ample. The prices very reasonable for the quality of the food, the attentive service and the generous portions.

    Only thing better than their food was their service. They were so nice despite the fact that we were a large group with so many different questions and requests. Generous portions of food. Definitely will go back there the next time Im in the area.

    The place was packed. I actually took my kids a couple months ago and they loved it. The food portions are huge. The drinks are strong lol and the weight staff is so friendly. I really also loved when you first walked in. They had old-school lunchboxes my kids love seeing that.

    Easily the best food I have had at a restaurant in a while. The food and drinks were all absolute perfection. Offers brunch meal options all day, and a great selection of drink options.I didnt get to try any of the shakes due to time constraints, but I will definitely be visiting again for brunch.
