AMAZING breakfast!! We just ate at Moms's Kitchen for the first time and this is about the best breakfast we've had in south Florida hands down. The service was friendly and attentive, our food arrived just as we ordered it and then some...hot, fresh, and plentiful. We are generally pretty critical restaurant patrons and other than the old fashioned diner decor (which is kinda cute for a change) there is nothing to complain about at Mom's kitchen. This will fast become our go to breakfast spot!
Review Source:We went to Mom's Kitchen on 1/20/13. Â It wasn't even 8:00 in the morning, and we had just gotten off an overnight flight from Los Angeles. Â We were so tired because we didn't sleep at all on the plane. Â So going to Mom's Kitchen was just what we needed. Â The food was good and I remember our waitress saying that we could have anything we wanted. Â After that, I can see why the owner decided to call the restaurant Mom's Kitchen. Â It really was like being in my mom's kitchen. Â I will never forget this restaurant and hope that I can go back some day.
Review Source:These are the local yokel, mom and pop, off the beaten path places we love!
It's the spot the locals go and we talked with a couple at the counter during the meal.
We had a few hours between our flight arrival and cruise departure so we drove over for breakfast.
The tuna was great! Â Hard to find a place that knows how to make tuna fish but they do. Tuna gets a 5!
Cole Slaw: 2, needs improvement.
Pickles: 1, get another pickle vendor.
Breakfast potatoes: 4
Service: 4 Â Fast and Friendly.
Value: 5 Â (low prices)
We would come back if in the area again.
Gets really crowded, so come early or wait with a newspaper.
As far as breakfast places I've ever had, this one is right there at the top. Home style, affordable, and friendly staff are all appropriate ways to describe this place. I had the Eggs Benedict which was delicious. My friend had an Italian omelette which was also good. There really isn't much you could say that is negative about this place.
Review Source:This is exactly the sort of place that I love but why are you in South Florida and not St. Petersburg where I live? Â
This place has character. The walls are covered in pop culture icons and autographed pictures of movie stars and sports icons. There are nick nacks and interesting antiques everywhere. And despite the fact that this place has been here for years and years, there is only a light dusting of age on everything. In fact, they seem to keep the place looking really good.
I checked out the kitchen while i was here and it was clean and well organized from what i could see. Despite being very busy, the food came out quickly and looked great. Â More importantly it tasted good. However it wasn't perfect. I had a random cold spot in my biscuits and gravy. It wasn't sitting out too long cold because everything else around it was piping hot. It was like out of the fridge cold. Best i can figure is that the biscuit was refrigerated and when they reheated it they didn't get the middle. Also the food was somewhat bland. I assume that this is for all the seniors there who can't have salt and hate flavor. My own grandpa was one of them. So after i salted and peppered it, the flavor was fine.
Then the staff does a good job of helping each other out. They have all been there for ages. However there are a few who are NYC style waitresses who rush you. I was explaining Yelp to my mom when she came up and asked what i was doing. I explained what Yelp was and what I was doing and that i would need another minute to look at the menu. She then ignored my request and began taking orders. By the time she got to me I had just finished reading the specials and started the menu. She rushed me through the selection and I got something that i like but it is still disconcerting when her desire to flip the table comes before my comfort. And also not very smart when someone says, "I am explaining how to review your place" to do anything but make the experience perfect.
So based on this experience i would give a 2. Based on other experiences by myself and family, I would give a 5. So i am going to give a 4 overall. If I keep having problems or have other better experiences then I will adjust it.
I really love this place for breakfast parking can be a little difficult on the weekend. The food is true home cooking and done with a lot of care. Most of the staff has been there for years to the point they know peoples names when they come in. The food is very tasty and they make some of the best coffee I have had from a diner style of place.
Review Source:Meh. I've experienced better.
Our server was not friendly... first fail.
Biscuits and gravy.... yuck! Biscuits were hard and tasteless as well as the gravy. Horrible, horrible gravy.
Coffee is just gross. Couldn't even finish drinking it.
Poppy seed bagel had 5 poppy seeds on it. Bagel was stale. Give me a break!
Standard eggs and potatoes and bacon. Can't really screw that up.
I wouldn't come back. There are other diners in the area that I like more.
This is a no nonsense diner. Your in & your out. Great food. Came here 3 times within 5 days on my vacation. The hollandaise... or however it's spelled... lol... was on point. I am very picky about my sauce.
We had blueberry pancakes, an omlette.. let's see... what else. Oh the corn beef hash is yummy.
The ladies in here work their butts. No slacking here. Someone takes you order, some one else bring it out, every one checks up on you but not too much. I like their system because you are never left needing something.
The overall feel of the place is old school dinerish. Which I really loved. When in Pompano again I will definitely stop at Moms.
Food is almost as good as my Moms... but DONT TELL HER!!!!
We have now dined here 26 times and have yet to have anything other than a great meal and great service. We've brought family here, friends here, we've eaten here when it's been busy, slow, a weekend, weekday, a holiday and both morning and afternoon. Waiting for a bad meal here is like the Maytag repairman waiting for his phone to ring. If anyone knows anywhere this good, Yelp me and help me. I'm always looking for a fine place to dine. Here's a tip: if you can't find a parking spot out front there's plenty more spaces in the back. There's no charge for the parking or smiles here.

After reading reviews of several breakfast spots in the area, we settled on Mom's, even though it was a couple of miles from our hotel. Â We are glad we did!
Our party of 7 felt very welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. Â The staff was very engaging to everyone from kids, teens to adults. Â It really felt like we were in Mom's kitchen! Â With 7 folks, we tried a good portion of the menu - omelets, fried and scrambled eggs, pancakes, bagels. Â The food was out fast and was very good - no complaints at all and lots of satisfied kids and adults. Â We got out of there for a reasonable price (under $50 for all of us), so that was a total bonus!
Great way to start the morning. Â We will definitely be back!
Its a good simple breakfast spot, it will be hard to be dissapointed here. Its far from being in a prime location but the inside of the restaurant will make you forget about that, at least if youre a baseball fan because theres alot of cool stuff on the walls, the place is very well lit and was steadily busy while i was there, its a good spot to start your day for sure and id recommend it.
They have a lot of options as far as pancakes and french toast go, though they were out of pecans when i went. The bluberry pancakes had a respectable amount of blueberries but they dont have pure maple syrup. The egg white veggie omelet was a good portion and well made and not too greasy, and i loved the breakfast potatoes. The bagel was average, the biscuits and gravy were hearty and went well with the sausage which was pretty good. I was advised by our waitress that their banana nut french toast was not homemade and she pratically told me to avoid it, honesty appreciated.
The service is good and food came quick, Id definitely go back.
Pretty good. Nothing fancy but filled the need for a decent, straightforward breakfast. I had the Eggs Florentine. Â Hollendaise was okay, spanich wasn't fresh, and potatoes werent anything special. Â Based on the other reviews I thought this place was going to rock! Â Maybe it's great for that neighborhood, but not when you compare it to a really awesome breakfast place. So... Would I eat there again? No. Â Am I bummed I went? No.
Review Source:What a totally pleasant diner operation! All of the food is great, particularly the taste of "Mom's Famous Eggs Benedict," and the service is outstanding. Everything is spotlessly clean, in good order and the interior is well decorated. To the contrary of that mentioned by others, I happen to like the "ceiling fan show" though it does appear somewhat identical to the one over at Lowes.
Review Source:First time i came here was after reading all the great reviews. It really is a great neighborhood place... A nice break from the typical giant chain.
Coffee is very god and i love that they have tons of specials every day. I got the banana nut french toast (picture attached). It was a bit heavy for me... it was not really banana nut bread in french toast batter... it almost seemed like banana nut cake! It was tasty - don't get me wrong. Â I guess I was expecting something less dense. Â I'm not an egg fan - but the rest of my party was mesmerized with their choices. For egg selections this place deserves 4 stars.
My 2 cents would be to offer more options that include fresh fruit... especially under the "from the griddle" section of the menu. But overall this is a very good place.
I really enjoyed my breakfast here. On this particular visit, my first visit to Mom's Kitchen, I stopped by on a Monday morning (MLK Jr. Day). It wasn't too crowded when I arrived, but that changed by the time I paid my bill.
A creature of habit, I alternate between two types of breakfast: (1) An omelet and (2) eggs-over-easy with rye toast. On this visit, I ordered the 2-2-2 with a side of rye, eggs-over-easy. It tasted good. I like the rye toast, and the pancakes were above average.
I was quick to recognize, as a first-time visitor, that the patrons are friendly with the staff and the back-and-forth is on a first-name basis. It's a local place, and I like that. They play that very soft-listening type of music in the background, and one of the waitresses was singing to each song.
The food was served very quickly and the service was friendly. In the time-honored words of Arnaud Schwarzenegger ... I'll be back.
I can't believe I have lived in my neighborhood for over 16 years and have never been here. I have been into Smitty's a thousand times. I am so glad I finally paid attention and gave Mom's Kitchen a try. It's adorable and the food is great!
The menu is extensive so you will have no problem pleasing everyone in your party. Pay attention to the items on special. I loved the blueberry pancakes and can't wait to try some other things!
This place is a hidden gem! Â Casual, quaint, and very friendly vibe. Â A group of us went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and we were seated right away. Â Coffee came within seconds!!! Their coffee is amazing too. Â
I ordered a veggie omelet no butter, light oil with potatoes and dry rye toast. Â It came exactly as I ordered and it was deeelish!!! Â Friends had the farmer's plate which was scrambled eggs mixed with potatoes and veggies - it was an empty plate after they were done so it was a hit.
One tip - be sure to check the chalkboard at the front for their specials!! Â I missed them and only saw them on the way out.
My boyfriend and I tried this place after I read the reviews- and what every person wrote is TRUE! Good old fashion cookin!! I had sweet potato pancakes- YUMMY!!!! And my boyfriend had the waffle he said it was great- it must have because he didn't offer me a bite!!!! This place doesn't skip a beat!!
Review Source:I have been going here on and off since the restaurant first opened and later moved from 62 Street and Dixie Hwy over a decade ago.
Consistently is the word I'm using which describes their great service and good quality food.
I am going to focus on one food item today....the Club Sandwich. They make one of the best Club Sandwiches in Broward (see pic). This old school sandwich is so basic to make but so many restaurants fcuk it up. Mom's make a solid one with turkey cut off the bone nice strips of bacon and just the right amount of lettuce and tomatoes. I always get my sandwich dry, but I always get a side of ranch dressing while I'm eating it. I pour alittle over the lettuce and tomato portion and go to town:) Just a great sandwich and I think the fresh turkey off the frame seals the deal.
The only thing that sucks about this place is the parking. Parking can be a bitch when it's busy, but that shouldn't stop you from trying this place out. Remember to tell them Dan sent you and Stay Hungry!
This is a great breakfast spot with delicious food and fast service. It's nothing special; a typical menu with minimal atmosphere, but early in the morning I'm not usually awake enough to care about the small details.
I'm not sure if it was because I dined with regulars or the kitchen always moves at warp speed, but we had barely finished ordering when our food came out. The coffee was strongs, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and they even got my request for well-done bacon right (that almost NEVER happens). The server was pretty funny, too. Not something that would typically matter for most diners, but it was a refreshing change of pace.
I wouldn't recommend taking anyone here for a special occasion. If you're looking for a quick, yummy bite, Mom's Kitchen is one of those great little mom and pop shops that gets the basics right. Sometimes that's all you need.
I have heard about this place for a long time from several colleagues who swear by it and eat there at least once a week. I went there for lunch today and checked it out. I had the turkey burger and it was a decent size and pretty tasty. I love turkey burgers and so many places get it wrong (Cheesecake Factory's turkey burger especially). This place got it right. Lots of things on the menu I want to try (and lots of good daily specials it seems) so I'll probably be back to try some more dishes. And the prices are very reasonable. The burger was only $6.45. Everyone was very friendly and the place lives up to it's name, its cozy and comforting environment was very much like a "mom's kitchen."
Review Source:After a solid Friday night, the crew reunited for breakfast at Mom's to discuss the previous nights events. While we shared our stories we all enjoyed some good food.
As far as omelet's go (i had a veggie/cheese) it was good. It's pretty hard to mess that up though. the hash browns were great as well. Omelet, hashbrowns, and toast all for under $7.00 not too bad :)
We also got a side of chocolate chip pancakes which are now a regular menu item. These were awesome. Warm, gooey chocolate chips in the middle of the pancakes. I havent had anything that good in awhile.
The service was great and the staff was all super friendly.
