Bad food and rude service – I have been to this place twice. Once with my friend and the second time with my family and a friend. The first time I went, I was not impressed with the food at all and was not planning to go back, as the food was dry and bland. The second time I went was because it was Easter Sunday and a lot of places were closed so we did not have many options - especially as we had an 8-month old baby with us. The place was half-empty. We decided to go to the second floor and there were one or two tables occu... read more
ARROGANT at MOTHS – my husband and i wanted to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary ato we deceided to go to MOTHS, since we like their crab cakes, after ordering the crab cakes mine was so spicy i couldn't eat it, someone over spiced our batch, i asked the manager Rich if i could exchange it since it brought tears to my eyes and made my nose run, he comment "NO we are not in a franchise resturant and we don't do refunds", he laughted at us like we were idots, the man has NO customer service or he doesn't value customers, ... read more

Great food but bad service – I had been to this restaurant around 2 years ago and had an enjoyable experience with great food. This time i came with a party of 6 on time for dinner on a tuesday night. Everything was fine but one of our group members came a half our late. We had already eaten our appetizers and ordered drinks and our entrees. It was nice to have everything come promptly and on time. But then right before our 6th member arrived the waiter said he could not order any entrees and could only eat the soup or salad... read more
Very Disappointed! Bad Service – We had reservations at 5:45 p.m. and were seated promptly. Too bad the server didn't serve us promptly. We waited 11 minutes for the server to get our drink order. After reviewing the menu and making a decision about the food, we were not able to get the server back to our table. She ignored our pleas for service. Once she finally arrived to take our order, we ordered appetizers and dinners at the same time. Another long wait; then someone showed up with crackers and cheese. We asked about th... read more
You've changed! – On 12/3/10 I took my mother to lunch (12:05 pm) at this establishment and thought I would be visiting a familiar place as we have dined for lunch numerous times over the past 3 years. I could never have been more wrong! To enjoy the meal I wanted to sit by the window upstairs overlooking the street (Linwood Ave.). It seems additional tables have been added with no thought to square footage expansion. I did not appreciate being told by some unprofessional "kid" host that I could not sit at a table for 4 duri... read more
Great Food and even more AMAZING service – Arrived right at lunch time,, lots of customers and filed tables. Greeted and seated quickly. Food portions were HUGE and delivered to the table with a smile. Everything we had, from soup to salads to sandwiches were delicious and fresh. Our drinks never got empty,,, Matthew the bartender/waiter, was on top of it all. He inquired if our food/apps were tasty. This establishment is well run and is a must if you are in the Baltimore area. Food is delicious but more importantly, you fee... read more
godawful – After reading these reviews. I can't believe the disparity! Usually whenaI restaurant gets some bad reviews, you can sometimes attribute it to: disgruntled employees or angry vendors; what have you. But in this case I have to think some of the positive reviews are from staff and ownership. THE FOOD IS INEDIBLE. "Food" isn't even a word I would use to describe it. I have been there 3 times over the past 4 years. each time has been horrible. I was there last month with my four year old. I ordered for him a plain che... read more
Fun Food for Kids and Adults – I have been eating lunch and an occasional dinner at Mamas for the past 4 years or so and feel I need to write a review. The food: some of the best "Baltimore" stylings that you could have. A crab cake to die for, Mac and cheese that my 7 yer old calls the best Mac and chees around and salads and drinks that are just great and plentiful. The Tuna Tar tare is a family favorite reminiscent of the best sushi restaurants in the city. What makes this place so good beyond the food and value is the se... read more
