"Although the black ham biscuit is more exotic, there is no faulting the perfect sweet-salty balance of Mother's hunky baked ham, especially piled inside a biscuit."
Michael Stern
"Black ham is Mother's name for the dark, crusty surface cuts of the baked ham. Order it by name."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"I asked for a debris biscuit, but the waitress reminded me that I was going to get a pair of biscuits with my omelet. So she put the debris in a bowl from which I could retrieve it as needed."
Michael Stern
"A debris biscuit cannot be lifted from its plate. It's one of our favorite things to eat at Mother's."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"These grits dripping with butter prove that Mother's excels at even the simple dishes."
Elise
"When Mother's biscuits are fresh they are good ones."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Almost inevitably when a New Orleans menu says 'red beans,' it means red beans with sausage, as in this red bean omelet."
Michael Stern
"What other restaurants refer to as cafe au lait, Mother's calls 'cream coffee.' It comes standard with full breakfasts."
Michael Stern
"You can order grits. You can order debris. Or you can order grits and debris, a particularly felicitous combination."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Mother's biscuit does a good job of muffling the powerful pork punch of black ham."
Michael Stern
"McDonald's, it ain't! This sausage is buff and muscular, redolent of garlic and spice."
Michael Stern
"Perhaps Mother's has the best shrimp po' boy in town as well. The pink, succulent shrimp were cooked just until done, not a minute too long."
Elise
"Waiting for the next order to come up."
Elise
"Sign above the order counter at Mother's"
Michael Stern
"Noisy, bustling, and always crowded, Mother's is a sleeves-up dining experience."
Michael Stern
"Arrive at Mother's during the week at an off hour and you may just be able to walk right in!"
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The line can look daunting, but moves surprisingly quickly. And this is one meal worth waitning for."
Elise
