It's not bad, but it's not spectacular. I remember when it used to be Charlie Brown's, so this was the first time inside Your Mother's House since they took over the space not too long ago. They have a pretty large dining area, and a large bar. I'm told that it can get very busy on the weekends and the wait time can be unbearable. We happened to come here on a Thursday night, and were able to get a table for 4 right away.
Our server was Denise. She took our drink orders first. We then ordered the bang bang crispy shrimp and the crab and spinach dip for appetizers. The shrimp was good but it could have been more crispy to be honest. The crab and spinach dip was good, and its served with warm flatbread. For entrees, I had the Honky Tonk burger, medium rare with sweet potato sides and asked for the sauces on the side, rather than on the burger. They came on the burger. The burger also comes on a "pretzel bun" which I thought would be similar to the pretzel bun they serve at Red Robin, but no, this is a homemade pretzel molded into a bun. It didnt really stay together after the first bite, making it hard to eat the rest of the burger.
My boyfriend ordered the full rack of ribs with the asian glaze. It was actually cooked quite nicely, with the meat falling off the bone. The regular french fries were a little weird, like overfried or something. Then for dessert, we had the fried oreos. Pretty good way to end the meal, but I am overstuffed!
Overall it was a good hangout spot. The food is not as bad as what the rest of the yelpers say. I would return and try other things.
I made the mistake of coming here on a Friday night and the DJ seems to think it's a club or something, because the music was OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD. There wasn't many people here.. just a small birthday with 15 people and regulars around the bar. No one was really dancing, but the music just kept going.
Review Source:This place is huge, and always crowded. The food is pretty crappy, the beer list is limited and not very good. The service is atrocious. I couldn't find the waitress for about half an hour, and by then I just wanted my check and to get the heck outta dodge.
I'm probably not coming back here. It's kinda like buffalo wild wings sans good food.
This was a good local place. The food was ok. Prices were reasonable for what you got.
I ordered the prime rib special. It was a little price for the place, but within reason for prime rib. The meat was cooked well and tasty.
The surprise of the night was the extremely friendly and attentive service! The service alone would get me back for a less ambitious dinner.
I strongly disagree with the other reviewers in that we absolutely loved the service. Â We had a really sweet waiter who was extremely attentive and checked on us to ask how we were several times. Â My girlfriend ordered the salmon with creamed spinach and I ordered a french onion soup with mashed potatoes on the side. Â We both enjoyed our food very much. I even tried the salmon - it was great. Â We both discussed it and said we would come back again. Â The atmosphere seems like a sports bar/restaurant type of setting.. very guy-friendly. Â All in all it was a nice casual night.
Review Source:Went to 'Your Mother's House' with a few friends for dinner. Food was good, service was lousy (could have just been our waitress), but this restaurant didn't give me anything to really brag about. The prices were middle of the road but what I had of my friend's dessert was pretty bad. With so many other places in the area and on Long Island there isn't really anything that makes me want to come back.
Review Source:Took my brother and his family here when they were visting from out of town. We drive by this place constantly and it always seems like there's a decent-sized crowd there.
Overall the menu and food were just sub par for the price in a very average setting. I can see how it would be appealing to watch a game at the bar, but I'd skip the table service. Their family meal takeout menu looked intriguing, so I may try that one day (and update my review accordingly).
It kind of pains me to write this because YMH is one of my favorite regular places, but after the service my friend and I had today I feel compelled to write something.
Today my friend and I came in for a late lunch before heading back to work. As usual we were greeted by the hostess and she seated us quickly. Shortly after that our dining experience headed South.
After being seated, a less than enthusiastic waitress (who we'll call Debbie Downer) took our drink orders. I'm not asking for a smiles and sunshine, followed by rainbows, and fireworks kind of attitude, but the fact that the waitress barely bothered to cover her frown or even make eye contact with us was a little offsetting. Within minutes our Debbie Downer returned with two very large glasses of water filled to the brim. That was fine and all, but she didn't bother to offer us straws (and drinking from the glass proved to be cumbersome because, as I said, they were large and filled to the brim). My friend ordered the Portabella Chicken sandwich with a side salad dressed with Balsamic instead of fries while I ordered a medium-done cheeseburger with a side salad dressed in Italian instead of fries (note: the side salad alternative is a $1.00 extra). Debbie once again moped off to give our order to the kitchen.
A few minutes after that she returned with two salads, one with Italian dressing and the other with Ranch (keep in mind my friend ordered Balsamic). Without even bother to ask if we needed anything else, she shuffled off again. Rather than pointing out the fact that we still didn't have straws or that the salad came with the wrong dressing we decided to just let it go and stick with what we were served...Only one problem, the salad was COLD. Not comfortable cold...right out of the freezer cold. Frozen lettuce and tomato on a normal day is disappointing; on a cold day is downright unbearable. After two bites my friend finally waived over the hostess and asked for just a small order of fries to split between us instead (after all, the meal originally came with fries).
Once again good ole' Debbie came back around with our food, and surprise, surprise apparently I ordered a well done bacon cheeseburger (I guess medium done cheese burger somehow translated to well done bacon cheeseburger). At this point my friend and I gave up any hope of having a decent lunch and ate what we were given.
But the last and final straws that broke the camel's back were when we got the bill. What should have been a $20 bill came to $30. While the salads were comp'd my friend and I were charged for the small fries we shared (mind you, fries were originally included in the meal...so because their kitchen made the mistake of sending out frozen salads we paid extra), and I was charged for the bacon that I didn't even want. We finally reached the point where it was "Screw it; let's just pay the money and leave." When Debbie came back I kindly asked her to charge $15 to my friend's card and the rest would be handled in cash...So what does our less than enthusiastic waitress do? She charges the entire bill to one card. At that moment I came to the conclusion that from start to finish our waitress didn't bother to care to listen to anything that we bothered to say the entire time.
Maybe one day I'll return to YMH, but it won't be for lunch.
I don't understand why this place only has 2 stars! I had a living social voucher for 30 bucks so we went for a late lunch and had one of the best rack of ribs ever. The menu for this place is quite large with seafood dishes along with steaks and nice sounding types of burgers. The ribs I had today was with Guinness Barbeque Sauce which tasted amazing. Plus the meat was so tender that I didn't even have to pick up a rib to eat it. The meat just feel of the bone. Seriously one of the best rack of ribs I've eaten. I really enjoyed the food at this place and the service was great as well. Its a good place to go with alot of TV's for sporting events, food, and beers
Review Source:Came here 3 months ago in August/2012 and the food was plentiful and fantastic. 3 months later, we got half the portions and although the waiter was cordial, I found myself constantly asking for things like grated cheese, salad dressing, & a plate for the salad since they served it in a dog bowl?! Â The food was still great but, again, smaller portions in strategically fancier plates ( other than the salad dog bowl).
Review Source:Food: For a place with so much money, (see the screens, interior, location, number of employees) you would think they'd put a little more love into their food, but instead you'll get frozen french fries, and those boring chicken fingers, and sandwiches that are just tasty enough to legitimize shoving into your maw. For a step-up in quality, I'd suggest eating at Applebee's.
Decor: If I was a sport's nut, and my favorite sport was playing on what seemed like two stories of flat-screens and one central projected image, I'd be in heaven.
The random movie stills hung up on every wall tells me the ownership is very confused and insecure and is doing their best to remind all the 20-30 year olds "Hey, remember that movie, when that funny thing happened?"
Service: The hostess seated us promptly, the bartender was quick to take my order even though I was just browsing tabs, the runner did his job, and our server was nice but she could definitely have been a little more attentive during the end, especially considering she only had one other table in that area of the restaurant.
Cost: I can't legitimize spending $10 on four frozen chicken fingers anymore. $2 games of billiards is nonsense.
Your mother charged me $20 for a sub-par meal and for not enough of her attention, and I didn't even get a drink.
Ever since the signs went up for this place, the name -- "Your Mother's House" struck my curiosity. Â I couldn't decide if it was catchy or just weird.
I came here and concluded this was def not my mother's house. Â It's a sports bar with huge screens and a large bar. Â Admittedly I did not come here to dine but rather get some drinks with friends but from my experience, I am not enticed to dine here. Â It's dark and a place for bar food. Â I did try my friend's chicken tenders that were covered in hot sauce which tastes exactly as it sounds like. Â My berry lemonade was very very sweet which was alright for me but I've never tasted so much sweetness in a cocktail.
For this LI area, it's a nice sports bar and I would def come back to watch sporting events. Â The back of the restaurant is conducive for watching sports with its multitude of huge screens & standing tables. Â The bartenders were alright.
Looking for a place to dine? Â I would tell you to just go to your real mother's house. Â Looking for a place to get drinks & watch a game? Â Your Mother's prob isn't a bad choice. Â
However it really does throw me off every time my friends text me to come to Your Mother's. Â errr you're hanging out with my mom??
After hearing the recommendations from friends we decided to give "Your Mothers House Kitchen & Bar" a try tonight. I'll admit it was partly a sentimental journey for me since I worked in the same building almost 30 years ago when it was the Park East movie theater. Dare I mention the word Tootsie? O.K. enough history, let's talk food.
We loved the wide open space in the restaurant. The hostess initially seated us at the tables and stools in the rear of the restaurant by the big screen TV's but was very accommodating when we requested to sit at the tables in the front of the restaurant. Considering all the wide open space noise levels were not and issue and we could easily carry on a conversation.
We started the night with a Black & Blue ($7.00), a layered beer with Blue Moon and Guinness. Poured to perfection. I order the Fish & Chips ($14.99) and added a side Caesar salad for a buck. Well worth it. My wife had the Mother's Meatloaf ($11.99) and my daughter the hamburger and pub fries ($10.99). The wait staff were very attentive and answered all of our questions about the menu.
The Caesar salad was very good, the lettuce was just a little oily but the croutons were crisp and the shaved Parmigiano was a nice finish. The salad gets an 8 out of 10 in my book.
The main courses arrived quickly, the perfect answer for three hungry diners. The Fish and Chips arrived wrapped in newspaper, Newsday to be exact, on a large silver platter. The fish was very tender and broke up easy with a fork. Mother's pub fries are seasoned with Parmigiano cheese, garlic and a hint of parsley. Nicely done. The plate also included a serving of cole slaw which was sorry to say lack luster. My wife raved about the Mother's Meatloaf , she loved the flavors (Portobello mushrooms and bacon). The meatloaf came with a side of mashed potatoes that were also very good. My daughter ordered the hamburger with a "bit of pink" in the center, unfortunately it arrived overdone and was gray all the way through. The new standard for hamburgers in the neighborhood was set by the 5 Guys who live next store to Mother's. Sorry mom you've got to try a little harder in the burger department when those guys are next store.
Sorry to say we were too full for desert, I heard the Fried Oreos are amazing. Next time!
Portion size was just right, not overwhelming. I did notice the manager walking around looking at the tables but never approached the individual tables. As for the overall value I would give this place an 8 out 10, good food, decent prices, and fast attentive service. Kudos to our waitress Kelly for a job well done. I would definitely recommend to friends and family looking for a good time. I'm going for 5-stars since my wife and I loved our main courses. We'll be back!
If this is Your Mother's House, our waiter was clearly the half-retarded step brother we never knew we had. He wasn't bad for lack of trying, and made every attempt to keep us happy and make recommendations, he just simply wasn't up to it.
The food was pretty sub-par. Prices weren't too bad, but better ingredients really would have made all the difference. The biggest problem I have is with the menu. If you're going to call a restaurant "Your Mother's House" where is all the home-style food? No fried chicken? No pot roast? There is a meat loaf, but I'd be afraid to try it.
The decor is completely bizarre. The room in the front is small and cozy, but towards the back the space really opens up. Just doesn't keep with the theme very well. Also, the walls are decorated with pictures from Hollywood films. I don't really have a problem with this, but I'm not sure I get it.
Might give the bar a shot, 20 beers on tap, and plenty of TVs.
The bar area is great. If you're into sports they have so many tvs and an enormous one as well. The food not so good. The steak I got my first visit was not horrible but the meatloaf last night was miserable. The mashed potatoes that came with it had absolutely no flavor. It tasted like I was eating water. The broccoli and cauliflower was overdone and did not taste good at all. The fried oreos I had for desert were good but that was about it. If I do go back it will only be for some drinks and to watch a game or fight.
Review Source:Yo momma's house is full of a lot of bros who love sports, beer, grease and yelling. There are huge TVs everywhere and synchronized cheers resonate during basketball games, ect. For some people this is a positive, i'm ambivalent to sports though.
Food is straight up nasty. I had the "Pretzel Croque" and the bread was completely soaked and soggy (and mind you not any kind of pretzel; the same as my friend's burger bun). It also had no taste and I threw up about an hour later. Everything also takes forever and you have to ask 85 times to get a glass of water.
Also what the heck is up with the celebrity themed dishes and pictures lining the walls? What does that have to do with your mother and her house? Actually, what do sports have to do with that while we're on the topic of this ridiculous name. Does your mother live inside a PC Richards that also happens to be Hollywood and also it's the Super Bowl every day? Was it a bad translation from Korean or something and it just doesn't make sense in English? Honestly the best thing about this place is the enjoyment I get out of mocking the name.
Service was nice, but terrible. Even receiving the check after giving them my card took way too long.
Food was awful. Like someone above me said "If my mom cooked like that, I would lock her in a nursing home." Very true. I
I didn't feel at home at all. The only great things about it seemed to be the bar and multiple giant TVs. The place also looked pretty cool. Nice interior design.
But yea, food was terrible. Steak Salad "Keith Richard's Salad." Barely any steak. Not to mention rubbery.
All I kept thinking of was Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon would have a ball with this cook staff.
This sports bar has its name right on it a sports bar!!! The food comparable to burger king right next door to them!! Â I rather go there next time!!!! The staff is very attentive but as slow as they were at 830 pm I would hope so. There were actually 6 guys at the bar all over the age of 50. Â Obviously not a place to come with your girlfriend as she felt very uncomfortable. So I had a bacon ranch pizza which was disgusting!!! It came out cold and the bacon was chewy and very fatty. The ranch dressing had to be out of a container very bland!! So my girl ordered a basic bacon cheeseburger. First of all it had no cheese no onion no lettuce no tomato but it did come with some very salty cold fries for around 10 $ sorry Mom but I'll be at burger king next time!!!!
Review Source:1) Nice wait staff, horrible food.
2) If my mom cooked like this I'd drag her out of the kitchen and lock her up in a nursing home.
3) Your Mother's House makes Applebee's seem like Morton's.
4) It's a shame because this place has the potential to be a good adition to the community..
The good: The place looks great, the staff are friendly, there are a lot of t.v's and the tap beer selection is actually nice.
The bad: everything else
I went twice with some family. There will be no third visit. The food was consistently lousy and overpriced. Here are some observations on some menu items:
Beer: Good selection of bottled and draught beer.
Salads: Premade and wilted.
Burgers & steaks: small, dry, and overcooked. Medium well, well done or "hockey puck" seem to be the only choices for preparation. They won't make them medium rare or rare on purpose. It's my choice if I want to risk it, put a disclaimer on the menu about undercooked foods like so many other places do about eggs & meat and give me what I want. Grow up.
Meatloaf: I think they microwaved it to warm it up. Very dry and tasteless. The "gravy" tasted like it was from a powdered mix.
Pork chops: $17.99 for a tiny, dry tastelss -single- chop drowned in some horrible sweet sauce after it was overcooked.
Regular fries: I'd rather eat McD's or BK's fries.
Sweet potato fries: emphasis on the heavy crunchy layer of brown sugar.
Mac & Cheese: right from the Kraft box, actually worse.
Corndog from the kids menu was mushy on the outside, greasy on the inside.
