Hostess was very kind. She gave great suggestions when I asked about the menu. They accommodated for my kids (extra coloring sheet, change in chair) very welcoming. Food was great. My kids ate it up as well. Wish got a coffee refill other than that no complaints. Ordered kids French toast, peach French toast plate, and avocado toast.(not pictured) Would come again.

We wanted something local and tasty. We stopped in and loved the small diner/cafe feel. Greeted with friendly staff. We ordered the pimento cheeseburger, the chicken salad sandwich with fruit and the kids french toast. Everyone gobbled it up. Delish. We will be back.

We were in Athens, Georgia a few weeks ago and stopped here for breakfast! Everything was delicious and the huge cinnamon roll was amazing! We felt a little foolish when we first came in bc we didn’t know how it worked- you order first, pay for it and then they seat you! Who knew?? Maybe you could have a sign out to tell us newbies how it works! The expectation is that you tip when you pay without even tasting the food! That’s a new one for me!😜😂 All the junk that is to the side of the restaurant could be easily cleaned up and put behind a fence! A little unsightly but the food was delicious! 😄

Your average run of the mill breakfast place. Great for students on a budget. I guess. Food is fairly decent. Love the 80s music playlist. Still serving water in a plastic cup. Might be more environmentally friendly to use glassware. Ordered two eggs over easy Potatoes, patty and sourdough. You order with the lady upfront and then pick your place. Food came out pretty quick. Coffee was actually very tasty. Lots of parking space right around the corner.

Hands down the absolute best breakfast I’ve had! The grits are so creamy and delicious they almost melt in your mouth. The biscuits are fluffy and the epitome of a southern biscuit. The bacon has a wonderful smoky flavor and wasn’t too crisp. The special was scrumptious…all the ingredients together created a spicy & savory flavor. By far one of the best things I’ve ever ate! Service was spectacular! This is a must try! Can’t wait to go back!

Mama’s Boy is a great breakfast brand. Their biscuits sandwich was authentic with various options. I liked their eggs the most. The biscuits and gravy tasted fantastic and authentic. Their service was amazing and WiFi was fast. Free spicy sauce and strawberry jam were provided.

Awesome dining experience every time!! This is the golden standard I compare every other brunch place to. I've gotten the veggie bowl, the poached egg with hollandaise was the best! The half portion was still huge. The pork taco is flavorful and balanced and the jimaca slaw is great. If anything, I don't love their cinnamon bun and banana bread, but that's my personal preference. Cute diner vibes. Highly highly recommend!

Have you ever wanted to spend 10 bucks for a biscuit the size of you palm? Ever wanted to be more disappointed with every bite? come to mamas boy where the biscuits have no butter the eggs and bacon have no salt or pepper and the best part the biscuits are doughy with absolutely no crunch to the outside. But if a biscuits not your style try the egg scramble where the only notable thing is that the grits on par with microwaved grits. The only good part about this place is the atmosphere and the staff but if you care how the food tastes then you’d be better off licking the pictures

The fries are some of the worst I have ever had. But the rest of the food is good. Order at the counter, tip ahead of time (which is also off putting), and then food is delivered to table seating.

Came highly recommended from a friend. Great service and breakfast with banana nut bread was the best. Just a great start to the day.
