Mother's Restaurant LLC - New Orleans

Look for lines when you go places in NOLA because that 's where the good stuff is, and Mother 's is no exception. The staff is lovely and efficient, the signature Bloodys are delicious, and the food is very good. Also there is nothing 'greasy spoon ' about this place, despite that being in the descriptor. It 's in a really cool industrial space that is both funky and a clear sign that their priorities are straight you spend the money on making good food and people willcome. (And they do. We waited for nearly two hours for a table for brunch and regretted nothing. NOTHING. Speaking of good food, if the sign says 'Best Baked Ham ' and you like ham even a little bit, you really (really. have to order theham. Will never eat baked ham again unless it 's from Mother 's it 's the most fork tender, juicy piece of ham I have ever had. Well worth the wait and will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.

Hmmm where to begin with this one? The service and Mimosas are good. The food looks good but lacks seasoning. The grits are creamy but bland. Biscuits are fluffy. Catfish fried to perfection, but again the seasoning is lacking. Hot sauce should be an option, not a requirement for seasoning. Not sure if the food is always like this. Essence Fest weekend applied a significant amount of pressure on the local businesses.

The food was great and the team was amazing. The ham was delicious and moist. The cheesy grits were very flavorful. The red beans and rice were spot on. I had the debris sandwich and it was AMAZING! They also have a homemade spicy vinegar concoction that really married well with the beef. Will definitely be back.

Good food, the staff was great and our server displayed awesome customer service

Great food and atmosphere! Grits just like mom used to make! Was disappointed there was no bacon served but I ordered the Blackened Ham.......absolutely a must eat! So good!
