Was not impressed at all it took hr to get food and they brought our food out one plate at a time every ten minutes to a half our, granted we had 11 people in our group but an hr just for a couple of sandwiches and fries, the food came out before the appetizers that came out burnt. No apologies nothing. They weren't busy.

The food was fresh and great. We only tried sandwhiches so I can't comment on the Italian offerings.
The building is older and quaint with vinyl booths.
Stumbled on this place while looking for something to eat during a long bicycle ride. Momâs had ready-to-go deli sandwiches and pizza slices. This place fills a gap from the closing of the grocery store and Caseyâs store in Maxwell. âMomâ was there and she is a very pleasant lady who was willing to make any sandwich we wanted if the pre-made ones werenât what we wanted. We did not try the regular kitchen menu so canât comment on that. There is a full bar attached to the restaurant for any libations you might want beyond bottled water and pop. This is a great place to stop for a bite to eat while biking the newly paved Heart of Iowa Nature Trail.

So, I have lived in Maxwell now for a year and a half....and yesterday was my FIRST TIME ever visiting "Mom's" in Maxwell. Upon arrival we immediately got a seat, and wasn't busy at all on the diner side....(I never went over to the bar side though, just for the record). The waitress was super attentive and nice! She was even very helpful with the menu & got drink orders very promptly! Service was amazing and the atmosphere was inviting and casual. Gave me the vibe of "hanging out in Mom's living room chatting with the family", however , a comment was made "we should leave as they might get upset if we sit and talk and are not eating"....(Comment was by a member of MY party, not the business). I thought "why would she get upset #1 as they weren't busy at the time, #2 they're called "MOM'S "? But we got our things and left once we finished eating. With the food portion of this review.....it was alright. Was very hot and fresh..... HOWEVER, pretty expensive for store bought deep fried mini tacos and some onion rings. Yeah, portion size was good....but quality was low for the pricing. Scooby was great! But I wish it wasn't so "dry"....also when somebody asks for jalapenos please make sure they get them ? I ordered the taco Scooby, although it was good I wish there was more moisture in the dish and it wasn't so dry. It may be coupled with the fact that there's Doritos inside of a breaded item already giving it an extra layer of a breading type item. Would have been nice if it was offered with a side of sour cream or salsa (not mild sauce packs). We requested 2 different appetizers and both were sold out and unavailable (bacon cheese bites & one other one). My son ordered the Rib eye sandwich and although there was a hefty portion of meat....it seemed EXTREMELY fatty, it had A LOT of fat. Food was basic...service was great! Yes I would be back again....just not as often as it is quite pricey for a family of 5-6, whom includes a 6'5" bottomless pit. If it's gonna be called "Mom's ", as a fellow small business owner myself & in my professional opinion...I would consider making more dishes "homemade style" and not so much "store bought". I would also chat & interact with my customers way more, as MOM'S usually do with "family"...not just "stay in the kitchen"...catch my drift??? Until next time...
Food was delicious! Even the kids meals were really good quality; real grilled chicken breast on the sandwich and homemade Mac & Cheese. My husband got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was one of the best he has ever had. I had the grinder Scooby, and it was HUGE and loaded with meat and peppers. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back.

expected a place named moms to have homemade food. But it was like frozen food from a Schwann truck

Was in town today to visit a museum and got recommended to stop in for pizza or a sandwich. However this establishment has so much more. The menu is not overloaded but it is difficult to just choose one thing. There is just so many delicious things to choose from. My family and I were very happy and will definitely be back again in the future. The owner was amazing and her reccomendation of an order of breadsticks while we decided was perfect!
