I'm a local & had high hopes for this place. I ordered a biscuits & gravy (with 2 biscuits), a side of sausage patties, & a sweet tea. After about 5 minutes, the waitress came out with a "stumped" look on her face & explained that an order comes with one biscuit (cut in half). She upsold me an extra biscuit & a side of gravy. After about 25 minutes, my biscuits came out minus the sausage patties. The restaurant was less than half full of patrons with 2 waitresses. I reminded her of the patties, & she returned to the kitchen. The gravy was a bit bland, but the biscuits were tender. When I was down to my last half of biscuit, she brought out 2 small, burnt sausage patties that were bone-dry all the way through. In all fairness, I did get one refill on my small sweet tea. The tea was the best part of the meal, so I figured I should mention it. The bill came to $24.03 for biscuits & gravy, a side of burnt sausage patties, a sweet tea, bad service, & a long wait. (Maybe I'm just spoiled on Joe & Eddie's.) Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years, I always start with a 20% tip for average service & then add or subtract from there. I would have given this server a negative tip if I could have, but I put $25 on the table & left because I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for 97 cents in change. I don't write many reviews, & never a bad one unless the experience left me feeling much worse than when I came in. I will not be back. Buyer beware. I really wanted this to be my new go-to place.
First time visitor. Breakfast was worth the stop. Grits were delicious as was the homemade French toast. I will definitely return.
Very good home cooked breakfast. Loved the French toast

Two strikes and you’re out! We’ve been twice for lunch. Both times disappointed. First time they had no bread for a BLT; then the Balsamic Chicken Salad we tried instead had wilted lettuce and way overcooked and very dry chicken. We also tried a salad trio with Egg Salad, Chicken Salad, and Tuna Salad. All very bland with no taste.Second try was again for BLT. Toasted bread was so burned it left a bad taste in your mouth. When we complained, it was “oh, well, I don’t know what to do” with no attempt to comp it or anything. We told them we would not be back. Real average.

Found this wonderful little gem from a Google search as we looked for a place for breakfast. When we travel, we try to only eat at local restaurants. Mother Earth's did NOT disappoint! Everything we ate was excellent! So good, in fact, that we ate here everyday that we were in Shalimar, visiting our mother. The place is small and homey, and even the other patrons were warm and friendly. The catfish special on Fridays is not to be missed - even if you don't normally eat catfish, you'll be sure to like this! And to top it off, the service is FANTASTIC. Our server, Miss Tonya, was the best EVER! We loved her! We will eat here every time we visit Shalimar. Give them a try; you'll be glad you did.
Worst service we have ever had any where. We were seated and wait for 20 minutes before anyone even brought us menus or acknowledged we were even here. Two other tables came in after us they got waited on right away. Another 20 minutes and we finally get to order. Waited for another 45 minutes still didn't get our food. They were not very busy or short staffed. If I could give less then one star I would. Completely unacceptable
We had the sweetest waitress today. We came in for a late breakfast/early lunch. I could not make up my mind and she was extremely patient with me. Ha ha. I had to turn up greens, squash, cornbread and hamburger patty. It was delicious. I will go back.
