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.

I was actually very disappointed 😔 with the quality of my food! Ordered a small turkey Po’boy it was so dry the bread wasn’t fresh & it wasn’t dressed as a Po’boy should be pickles etc weren’t on it! & I’ve heard so much about the establishment & it was highly disappointing!!!! & a service staff members attitude was very very poor & rude! The word is excuse me!

Mother’s is a local icon but it failed us for Essence Fest weekend. The fish and shrimp were not well seasoned. The food was not prepared with love��

We're very sorry we failed to meet your expectations.

Nothing you can do about long line but have patience. Server was descent and food was just okay. I will say the brownie is delish. 

Business response:

Thank you. We're sorry we failed to meet your expectations.

The food quality, taste and service level was below poor. It is not a place I can recommend. The food was cold and I felt it was pre cooked - old. Old fried food is not good nor should be served. 

Business response:

Heather, we're sorry we failed to meet your expectations. We cook daily and fry to order.

The lines were long and the food was very bland. There is absolutely no seasoning. It is definitely overpriced for the taste. 

Business response:

We’re sorry that we failed to meet your expectations. Creole food is mild.
