This place was honestly, not even on my list but.<br>I had friends in town and we were looking for somewhere to go for an earlier breakfast. The food was surprisingly delicious! I got the pancake wrapped burrito which was honestly, everything I wanted, literally, all wrapped up into one. It was VERY filling and I couldn't finish it all.<br>My boyfriend got the short rib grilled cheese with a side of mac and cheese. He said the grilled cheese didn't have a lot of cheese on it but it was piled high with short rib! And I will say, this was some of the best mac & cheese I've had in years (I stole a bite).<br>Paula was our server and she was very attentive filling waters, coffee refills, and making sure we had everything we needed. Great service!

Response from the owner

We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Paula, we're lucky to have her! Hope to see you again soon for another delicious meal.

During our visit to New York, as we were walking from Pier 83 on the Hudson River toward Times Square, we were looking for a nice spot to escape the blazing sun and grab a bite to eat. Luckily, we happened to walk right past Mom's. The service was super friendly and attentive, and the food (Mom’s Burger with corn on the cob as a side) was simply great. The place has a welcoming atmosphere—maybe a little dark, but clean. Definitely worth recommending.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for stopping by during your walk, Marcus! So glad we could be your cool, comfy spot to escape the heat while enjoying our delicious burger. We hope to welcome you back the next time you're in the city!

My wife and I were walking around and stumbled upon this establishment. We only stopped for drinks and did not try any food. Although the food menu looked good. I had the nutcracker, which is a nostalgic drink for me. Between the music, the drinks, the decor, the atmosphere and the service, everything was phenomenal. We found ourselves singing along to old songs from the early 2000s that we used to love and had not heard in years. Such a great place and I love the old school vibes. I plan to return again to try the food next time!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for stopping by, Michael! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the music, drinks, and the nostalgic vibe we strive to create. It makes our day to know you had such a great time singing along with us. We’d love to have you and your wife back soon—definitely come hungry next time so you can give our comfort food a try. See you again soon!

Looking for a nice place to sit and grab a bite to eat and great libations - look no further - Moms was fast with the service and the food was delicious as well as the mimosa - warning, come hungry as the servings are plenty! We were able to get in and seated right away and enjoy a nice meal right before our Broadway show —the chicken and waffles seem to have been a table’s favorite - plenty of food and drink options to select from on the menu!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much, Marion! We are glad that you enjoyed our food and we’re glad our team was able to provide you with fast, friendly service. We hope to see you back at Mom’s again soon!

Went here twice. First time I tried one of their spiked milkshakes, I got the one with chocolate and brownie (added whiskey) and it was absolutely delicious. Paired it with the fries from their appetizer menu that comes with gravy, cheese and red onion, also fantastic. Split bro with a friend and it was just the right amount of food. The second time, I got their vegan chicken sandwich and shared two of their frozen cocktail, both were sooo refreshing and sweet.

Response from the owner

Hi Josefina! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your recent visits to Mom’s. It’s great to know that our spiked milkshakes, loaded fries, and vegan chicken sandwich were such a hit! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon so you can try even more of our rotating frozen cocktails. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Everything was great. Our server Pablo was nice and on top of it. We had the avocado toast with sides and everything came out really fast and tasted great. We also got the sangria which was a seasonal white peach and that was really good as well. We would go back!

Response from the owner

Thanks for the review, Stefani! We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and that Pablo provided great service. We're happy you liked the avocado toast and sangria. We look forward to seeing you again!

If nostalgia could be served for breakfast, this place would be home. Simple, sweet, and truly unforgettable.<br><br>The atmosphere felt like stepping into a 1970s jukebox café…warm, vibrant, and full of character. From the moment we walked in, the energy was inviting, and the customer service only made the experience even better.<br><br>My brother and I stopped in for breakfast, and although our visit was short, it set the tone for an amazing day exploring New York City.<br><br>The cheesy grits were my absolute favorite. The blend of smoked Gouda and cheddar was melted down to perfection! And let’s talk about that cocoa café… ☕😉<br>I made a special request to add cognac, and it blended perfectly with the rich chocolate flavor, smooth, indulgent, and definitely memorable.<br><br>Highly recommend. I’ll absolutely be back.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Mom's for breakfast! We're thrilled you enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere and our cheesy grits – especially with that cognac addition! We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

A fun diner that has a range of options. We had lunch there and since we heard the portions were big we shared the following:<br>Fried chicken plate which comes with two sides, chosen were green beans and Mac & Cheese. It came with 3 pieces of chicken which meant we each had one. The Mac and cheese had a good cheese sauce.<br>The burger was cooked a good medium as requested, the salad had a nice vinaigrette on it<br>The cheese curds were crispy and be warned of the spicy jam, it can sneak up one you.<br>The shakes were nice and thick and not commonly found flavors.<br>Definitely bring your appetite.

Response from the owner

Thanks for the great review, Rory! We're so glad you enjoyed your lunch and found our portions to be generous. We're happy you liked the fried chicken, burger, and unique shakes. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Everything about this brunch spots screams fun. From the scenery, to the menu, to the high energy staff. I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time. Our waitress Paula(hope I wrote her name correctly) was awesome. She had great suggestions and was timely. I ordered the pancake burrito, buffalo Mac & Cheese bites and a frozen margarita. I will definitely be back. 10/10

Response from the owner

Thanks so much for your amazing review, Robert! We're thrilled you had such a fun and delicious brunch experience with us. We're so glad Paola could take good care of you. We can't wait to have you back!

Service was really good the food was alright. It overwhelming in either direction. Also I spent a lot of years in the south, so there’s a bit of bias in there.<br><br>Has great prices for happy hour 4-7pm M-F.<br><br>Would go again

Response from the owner

Thanks for your feedback, Bryant! We're glad you enjoyed the service and the happy hour prices. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope to see you again soon!

I really enjoyed my experience there. I place was great for walk ins. With plenty of room. The staff was nice. My food came at a good time in terms of not having to wait all day. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was my drink. Idk if it was the coloring or what, but it was subpar to say the least. My expectation for a pleasant cocktail is high and this one didn’t meet up at all. Next time I go, I’ll try something else and hope for the best.

Response from the owner

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience, found our staff friendly, and the space comfortable. We appreciate your visit and hope to see you soon for better drinks!

Our first meal in New York and we were greeted with this little beauty! What a fantastic café with a really cosy atmosphere, very well decorated with an awesome retro feel. We were so well looked after by Emerson, who not only gave great menu recommendations but also shared some great tips on things to do in the city.<br>The food will send your tastebuds into a spin and portions are absolutely massive, so definitely worth considering sharing, and the kids absolutely loved the hot chocolates.<br>If you’re after a great brunch-style meal that will keep you going for the rest of the day, this place is perfect!

Nice restaurant with a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were good and very filling. I also tried the meatballs, good flavor, but a bit on the spicy side. The s’mores drink was really sweet, but I actually enjoyed it. Overall, a great spot with plenty to choose from!

Listen, from the moment I stepped in, I LOVED this place. The music, the kitchy vibe, the staff... all of it was so good. Our sweet waitress was awesome and friendly, immediately picking up on my Georgia accent. The Cinnamon Apple French Toast will change your life if you let it. The regular bacon and the turkey bacon are also delicious. I will go back for sure when I am there in December!!!

Such a fun dinner spot with friends! Friendly service and catchy music in an upscale yet retro dining room. Buy beware - portions are massive and everything is delicious! The mimosas and Oreo milkshake were to die for. The chicken avocado bowl and a (huge) side of chocolate chip pancakes made for a filling meal. Such nice variety on the menu you may have trouble deciding! Can’t wait to go back!

Response from the owner

Thank you so much LeeAnna we love the pictures! We can't wait for you to visit again.
