About this business

"Good food" and "cheap" are words that foodies in New Orleans love to find all under one roof. The lines here at Mother's Restaurant are a true testament to the food, if not to the great prices. The lines really are long- sometimes out the door. So if you're going and it's cool, wear a coat.Things like atmosphere and decor would only increase the overhead expense so they are not relevant here.

Food was good. Staff friendly. I was a bit disappointed that my husband’s food came a good 10 min’s after mine. Also, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came definitely over easy. 

Business response:

Cynthia, we're sorry to hear that. This happens with separate checks, but we guess that is not the case here. Our apologies. Also, our crew is usually good with eggs, so we will speak with them.

Business response:

Karen, thank you. Mother's has specialized in ham for 80 years, thus, we don't serve bacon.

The Et -Toufee omelette was awesome. Zero ambiance and the man at the door was not friendly but our server was very nice. $$ price wise. 

Business response:

Thank you. Please accept our apologies about the lack of friendliness on someone's part. That is not acceptable. We will message you.

We went towards closing so the food was the last food cook so not as fresh. The good was well seasoned and you received a large portion. 

Business response:

Felicia, we’re sorry we failed to meet your expectations.
