Absolutely Disappointed – Never Again I used to love this place, but after our most recent visit for brunch on Mother’s Day, I can confidently say I won’t be returning. Despite the restaurant being practically empty, we were inexplicably forced to sit outside. No explanation, no option—just shoved out the door like an afterthought. From there, it only got worse. It took over 30 minutes just to place our order. I did their “bottomless mimosas and sangria” for $25.99and received ONE mimosa after an hour. Completely NOT worth the price. When the food finally arrived—over an hour later—it was cold, flavorless, and a far cry from the quality we’d come to expect in the past. What once felt like a reliably good spot now felt like a bad fast-food joint running on fumes. We spent a grueling two hours at the table, mostly waiting. We never saw a manager, never got an apology, and our server, who was clearly overworked and juggling too many tables, was doing their best—but the experience was chaotic and uncomfortable from start to finish. It’s truly sad to see a once-great restaurant fall so far. Avoid until they get their act together.

We went here because the place we intended to go didn't open for 45 minutes and we didn't want to wait. Mother's was in same shopping center so without having to move the car, we decided to take a chance on an unknown. it turned out to be the BEST dining experience in every way you can judge. The food was magnificent-every dish was superior. our server (Spencer) was excellent- knowledgeable, personable, professional. my party of five loved everything about it. On a scale of 1 to 10, Mother's gets a 12 from me.

Food and drinks are very good. Jack the Balloon man on Tuesday night is amazingly talented. He made my daughters night sculpting Flounder and Ariel from The little Mermaid. It was legit impressive.

A really nice neighborhood restaurant with good food and a above average staff. In particular, Bill, Spencer, and Patty are nothing less than fantastic. Friendly, concerned, knowledgeable, and truly first class.

I’m not sure how they took a raw filet mignon and turned it into something like a chewy, tasteless hamburger. The menu is overall strange. Priced like a high end restaurant, but with mediocre quality in small portions. The service was good though. And the french fries were good!

Went for all you can eat crab and it was abysmal. Clusters of overcooked legs that actually twisted 360 degrees and wouldn’t crack. The crab meat disappeared since they were so overcooked. Add to that the pound and a half of salt they were soaked in and you get the picture. Just terrible.

If I could give 0 stars to this place I would. First time and I would never come back. Having a Sunday special of create your own burger and charging for all the sides, to over cooking the burger and taking it back to not even say sorry and rush the new burger. Calling it a hot honey burger and there being very little hot honey and literally just a chicken cutlet as well as the amount of sauce on the sandwich was a disgrace that that’s called a sandwich. On top of that the waitress was so inattentive after taking orders. If you are going to charge for sauce you should have that on your menu or inform your customers. Beyond that just mentioning the discrepancy of the check and getting an ok and not a I’m so sorry let me take care of it was beyond ridiculous. I will be making sure everywhere knows how I feel about this place as well as I won’t be mentioning or recommending to anyone to go here.

My husband has a burger and I had the spinach and Bleu salad with steak. Both were excellent and he is hard to please with burgers! It was super busy but Our server was hustling and on it. The West 7 Band was playing and they were awesome! A very pleasant evening out!

Bryan was one of the most attentive and knowledgeable servers I’ve ever had. He was always buzzing around making sure everything was more than okay. There is live music and a clean atmosphere. The management came by and expressed his gratitude for us choosing to dine at mothers.
