Haven't been there since COVID started so we thought we thought we'd try it again. Unfortunately the food went from a good variety with some real entrees to just burgers and sandwiches that were rather mediocre. Seems like it's headed to dive bar status. Won't be going back any time soon.

It looked really nice inside, but it was relatively dead prior to the fight starting. After paying a $20 total cover, and easily finding a seat at the bar we went about 10 or so minutes without being greeted... watched a bartender have time to do a shot in front of us though. I don't think I'll be back.

Stopped by for the first time after work and had good food and cold drinks. Sat at the bar and Denise was our waitress/bartender. Drinks she made were great and her smile was welcoming. Nice place to come back to when im in the area.

We had such a fantastic time— great food, great company, and great drinks. Denise was the sweetest server and was very attentive towards our group. Definitely would recommend again!

Menu wasn't as listed online or in OpenTable app. Reduced options and we were looking forward to some of the entrées listed. Burgers were good, juicy and tasty, however.

Denise(DNICE) great service. Ambiance was perfect. Low music, drinks etc…Food was delicious /fresh.Looking forward to my next visit.

2 stars for the atmosphere but that’s about it. Being a bartender myself, I saw the bartenders skimping several people on alcohol. They were pouring way less than an ounce in each mixed drink, including mine. If you’re going to charge $10 for each drink, the least you can do is put the right amount of alcohol. Nobody likes getting ripped off. Food was rancid too, everything is frozen or from a can like other reviews have mentioned. Don’t recommend this place

So we have been here 2 years in Wayne , right up road and stayed away from Mothers.Reviews were bad. We heard new owners.Went and never again. Food portions are a joke, flat beer, not very cold. $ 78 plus extra for tip, left hungry. Menu is boring and I'd never trust anything other then finger foods. I could of went to Pompton and had stuff to bring home full meals. Lmfaorofl my husband likes firecracker shrimp. $15 for a little side dish size, we call them monkey dishes. The shrimp is definitely those tiny shrimp and frozen. Served water trying to be fancy, tap water no ice hysterical. In a old school bottle like they were popping open french water or something.Horrible!!!!! Over priced, flat beer , portions ridiculous. I had to explain multiple times I wanted their Tator Keg but with French fries instead of tator tots.The guy was like we cant do it. So, I said can you put this, that etc on fries? He says yes, I'm like that's exactly the same thing I asked you ughh. It's a sports bar, with doilies under tiny plates? ????This is what they called firecracker shrimp, served for $15. ??? save yourself money etc go somewhere else. Wait staff lol definitely hate their job.

Excellent experience. Food was amazing. Wings, cheesesteaks, and chicken sliders are highly recommended. Staff was ok. Staff seemed somewhat miserable and not wanting to be bothered. Food is pretty expensive. Overall good experience.

The RAT that ran across the floor ruined our meal. The manager, one the staff found him, apologized but seemed unfazed by the situation.The food was decent. The service when we sat down was great, but once we received our food, we didn't see our server again. We actually had to go to the bar to get our own check!There are better places to get bar food - go there.
