Mama's Boy at The Falls of Oconee is a popular breakfast and brunch spot that consistently impresses diners with its tasty offerings. Despite often being crowded, the restaurant manages to serve up food quickly, with one reviewer receiving their order in just 10 minutes. The menu features a variety of tempting options, including the sausage grit bowl, which is praised for its excellent flavor, especially with hearty chunks of sausage from the UGA Ag program that add depth. The banana bread is warm and delicious, and the biscuits are everything a Southern biscuit should be: moist, fluffy, buttery, and warm, soaking up rich gravy perfectly. The fried chicken is crispy and golden with a light, flavorful breading, and the cornbread-battered fried green tomatoes deliver a satisfying crunch. Thick-cut French toast, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and comforting, and the Peach French Toast is sweet, flavorful, and truly delicious. The restaurant’s atmosphere is clean, organized, yet still homey and comfy, with a modern feel that keeps the Southern charm. The staff, especially one named Nick, provides excellent service by keeping coffee refilled and ensuring food quality, adding a friendly touch to the experience. The Strawberry Lemonade is a favorite for its refreshing taste and free refills, and the overall dining experience is considered wonderful, making Mama's Boy a reliable Athens staple for brunch. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, leaving diners satisfied. Though waits can be long, the warm, welcoming vibe, standout dishes like the biscuits and fried chicken, and the new polished setting set the standard for Southern breakfast done right.
