Mother's Restaurant is a well-known breakfast and lunch spot famous for its homestyle cooking and unique atmosphere. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including a veggie omelet with cheese grits and the Debris Biscuit, which features a flavorful blend of meats and savory sauce. The coffee is also highly praised as being good. While the ordering process may take some getting used to, the food is delivered quickly by attentive servers. Although primarily a meat and seafood restaurant, the menu offers vegetarian options as well. Recent reviews highlight dishes like smoked sausage with cabbage, red beans with rice, and the delicious étouffée and jambalaya, which surprised many with their quality despite the cafeteria-like feel. The restaurant is popular among visitors, especially for its hearty breakfast options such as debris with biscuit and eggs, and dishes like gumbo with shrimp and grits. It’s a highly organized place where guests order at the counter, find a table, and wait for their meal, making the process fairly quick. Known for its nostalgic ambiance, the restaurant is celebrated as a living legend and remains a must-try destination in New Orleans. The food is always good, with plenty of it, and the biscuits are often mentioned as the best.
