Stopped here today with family while traveling back home to Kentucky. The food was great! The service was great as well, Jessica was our server and she was outstanding! All of the workers were extremely nice and worked as a team. Next time we are in the Tampa area we will definitely be back!!!
Busy, busy, busy. Locals love this Place! Staff works well together. Seated immediately, host was friendly and quickly showed way to table. Tables and area all clean and well lite. Jennifer B, server, quickly came over to offer coffee and any questions. Menu is good selection, including Lunch items. Priced for area. Families , and all ages here. Staff is prompt and professional. Food came out quickly, hot , correct and tasty. Coffee refills always.\. Could get very busy, I imagine, during Events, due to location! Great place. Will make my normal stop.
Delicious! Best pancakes and burgers we've had in a long time!!!Cash only (ATM on site)LONG VERSION:Found this little gem when I was craving breakfast-for-lunch, after running Gasparilla this year. At first, I was truly skeptical... Outside looked a little "ho-hum" and there were signs everywhere that they only take cash. When we walked in, it was warm (like the heater was still on but not needed kind of warm). We got a well-worn booth, that has the menus under glass at each table (great idea!) The waitress was cheerful, but not overly cheerful, which I prefer. Our drinks were brought out quickly, and or full orders taken quickly after that.It was fun to watch the interplay between all of the staff, be it the lady behind the register, or the lovely older gentleman who held the door for so many, or the guys in the back whipping up delicious food!My pancakes were so hot when they got to my table that the butter SIZZLED when I put it on! It was amazing to watch... I've never gotten an order that quickly before. And they were... HEAVENLY! The perfect pancake flavor. No extra malty or funky flavors. Just delicious pancake perfection. The bacon was about +1 too crispy for my liking, but still great. I added on a single scrambled egg for extra protein, and the best I can say (and this is a compliment, though it sounds weird) is that it was the best plain ol' scrambled egg I've had in a long time. It was scrambled nicely (no whites sticking out anywhere), not too firm, not too runny. I ate all my egg and bacon, but sadly ran out of steam about 2/3 of the way through the pancakes...My partner got a Ham & Cheese Burger, which we thought was going to be a Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich, but it was an actual burger with ham and cheese on it... SO GOOD! Who knew?! The burger was cooked to perfection. The fries were spot on. He enjoyed every single bite of his lunch, too!This is a GEM of a restaurant that I can't wait to revisit next time I'm in Tampa!(For transparency purposes, I dinged it one star for the heat, the funky smell, and the Cash Only policy... none of them are horrible, and all can be dealt with, but just so you know).
This was our first time, but we're definitely coming back!!!! The lady at our hotel recommended Mom's as a local favorite and now we see why!! My husband had the chipped beef on toast as part of his breakfast and loved it...almost as good as his mom's. The pancakes were light and fluffy and I loved my country fried steak!! Our waitress, Tara, was AMAZING!! She said she was new but she know the menu and was attentive! The coffee is good, just the perfect blend. Prices are reasonable, but they are cash only!!! Can't wait to come back and try more of their yummy menu items. ?
I have been coming here for almost 15 years and never had an issue with food quality or service until the last few months with new ownership. I never thought I would ever give this place anything less than a 5. I am seeing my favorite waitresses less and less each weekend I come in and I don’t know if they are leaving or hours are being reduced- this doesn’t seem okay. The quality of food is not the same- cheap coffee, cheap eggs, cheap toast, cheap meat etc. The prices have also been increased and its messed up if you give cheap quality. If you increase the prices then keep the good quality we know and love. This place has been around for so long that loyal customer base is diminishing. I come here for family feel and good food. On top of that our party found 3 bugs within a matter of minutes at our table and the previous owners were thrown under the bus. I did not like that! I know the previous owners and never once did we encounter a bug or anything like this in 15 years. It’s upsetting on multiple levels. I gave the new ownership a chance and was even willing to give one more after our bad service and low quality food experience BUT the live bugs and dead one on the floor turned my stomach and I’m probably never coming back. I don’t see how any of the loyal customers who knew what an amazing place moms was would remain after some of these things because it’s not the same. I am happy the previous owners get to focus on not working but I miss them so much because this would not have flown. They would not blame others like I witnessed today. Ownership would have been taken. I will be looking for a new weekend breakfast spot because I can’t see how I can give this place my business any longer. It’s very saddening having to write this but it was not resolved by just giving me my meal for free.
Amazing food and wonder service will be back
Best around!! From walking in the door to walking out door and everything in between. First time there and found my new fav ❤️delicious food excellent service cant say enough
This place had really great food. I had a cheeseburger that was awesome. My husband had the waffle with strawberries. Everything was awesome until it came time to pay. They only take cash people they do have a ATM machine but that cost money. So just know that before you go and bring cash because it is great!! Great service too. Like to mention this is a diner not fancy but with great food and great service u won't be disappointed
I loves the food. The service was great. The owner is such a sweet guy. I would recommend this place to everyone. And their coffee is really good.
If you like liver and onions, this is definitely the place to go! They have the best in Tampa Bay! So tender bursting of flavor! Smothered with homemade gravy and onions! Lip smacking taste! Just like Grand Ma makes. Served with fresh homemade mashed potatoes or fries, bread and the vegetable of the day. Topped it off with a large glass of sweet tea. Our waitress Deana was very attentive to our needs. So polite with a beautiful smile. To the Restroom. Very very clean and quaint. Well stocked with tp, soap and a hand drying apparatus. Well decorated with a touch of country appeal. This is a great little Restaurant that has been here on Dale Mabry for years. The employee's are always egar to make your experience at Moms Place a good one. 5 stars to the cook and this wonderful Restaurant with clean Restroom. I highly recommend you stop in.
