Mom's Restaurant

Had breakfast here.  Blueberry pancakes were good.  No butter until I asked.  Coffee was good.  Atmosphere not very cheery, at least not where I was seated, near the kitchen.  The other room is probably sunnier. Not inexpensive for what you get, but there is not much competition with a full menu in Ringoes.

I didn't know you could mess up breakfast food until I tried Mom's.

My friend and I stopped at Mom's for a quick lunch before heading to a nearby vineyard.  I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato and my friend ordered the classic grilled chicken sandwich.  We also ordered the onion rings for an appetizer.

The onion rings were brought out with our meal, even though I asked they come as an app- but no big deal, they were really tasty.  My grilled cheese was good and came with chips and a little thimble of coleslaw and tiny slice of a pickle (luckily my friend doesn't like coleslaw nor pickles, so I was able to take hers).  She enjoyed her chicken sandwich as well as the coin-shaped fries.

The staff wasn't especially friendly.  It seems like everyone here is a local so I guess they don't take well to strangers.  My unsweetened iced tea was really weak and I asked if they had a stronger batch. Our server brought me out a new one but it was pretty much the same strength (and he didn't check up on me to see if it was okay).  Overall it was a pretty decent, quick lunch but I wouldn't mind trying any of the many other restaurants along 202 nearby.
