Mom's Kitchen

I am getting married and wanted to have this restaurant cater my reception. I called and made an appointment to meet and go over the menu. My fiancé and I got to the restaurant on time only to find that no one was there. I called the next day they were open to ask why we were stood up and was told that the person who I made the appointment with didn't even know who I was. I told them they lost business by standing me up. A few minutes later my phone rang and the owner left a very, very rude message for me and went on to talk pure junk about other area restaurants instead of apologizing and trying to rectify the situation. So if that's the kind of service you're looking for, have at em.

I have to disagree with the previous review.  My family had breakfast today at Mom's and it was excellent. The service and food was above expectations.  I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Can not recommend even an exploratory stop here after our lunch experience today. This is a typical mom & pop small town eatery, plainly decorated, and maybe a touch larger than most. I'd pasted it a number of times while on business, and decided today to stop in.

The menu contained the usual suspects - variety of sandwiches, burgers, hot dog, several plates, and a couple of daily specials. They also listed barbecue, but my guess would be that the only cooking of that item here would in the microwave.Today's plate special was Chicken Fried Steak with cream gravy, which we ordered, along with a chili dog and fries.

Even though this was early in the lunch four, it took over 20 minutes to get our order, and even then they brought the dog and fries out way before the steak. The waitress said it was taking so long because they were "testing" the gravy - I did not take this as something that should give me confidence in the dish.

The chili dog was simply bad - chili was tomatoey, thin, and sweet; the bun was somewhat stale; and there was entirely too much mustard. The fries were the ridged logs, no taste, pasty.

The Chicken Fried Steak was of the pre-prepared, frozen variety. When you cut into it, the batter inevitably pulled away fron the thin slice of steak underneath. The cream gravy was only ok, weak in flavor, and watery. Both the pinto beans and the turnip greens were canned, with the beans having no flavor, despite a large mound on chopped onion on top.

Best to pass this place by, for lunch at least, and head to Reidsville or Eden.
