I celebrated my wife's birthday there on July 29th this year. Our server Celia was the best! She made my wife feel special, and was extra attentive. I recommend, and also ask for Celia to be a server. 💯🎉😀

The quesadillas were not good quality chicken meat. Green pepper seem to be the only addition so they were tasteless. The server was very attentive and sweet. The chicken wings were not as good as usual.

First time visiting in a long while. I was very pleased with my meal, Buffalo Chicken dip as app, Barbecue burger with bacon, cheese and onions and thin mint ice cream. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Surprise was being there for the start of the band which we had not thought playing until 9, but, started at 8 instead. Enjoyed the tune-up song and the first song before leaving even though we were right next to the band and it was very loud! Will be returning soon!

Ordered off-menu fried oysters entre, fantastic as always! Super generous portion with two sides, a great meal we never find anywhere else. Service was prompt and helpful. We had reserved a high top because tables were not showing as available but tables available on arrival and no issues swapping to table. Love this location.

Mother's was an amazing place for our annual "get together" this year ! Made an advanced reservation of 6. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire time to ensure we were coming. Waitress was wonderful, making sure our food was great and drinks were full at all times (Very attentive). Our food arrived hot, delicious for our entire table of 6 with no complaints ! Loved the entire atmosphere of the restaurant as I've never been before. Will definitely be back. Thanks Mother's !!

I reserved a table top so we could be near the band. When we arrived they didn’t show us as a table top and stuck us in a booth with high walls and we could not see the band. The host said when a table top opened she would move us but she never did. Half of our group left as soon as the meal was over I’ll never go back I just wasn’t worth the money and time we spent and to not hear the band
