. . . in 2016 (top) and 1993 (bottom). Notice changes made in the lettering on the side.
It even comes with your typical contradictory Yelp reviews!
#1) I don't know what happened next, but it was all a food coma
induced, taste bud blowing moment. The potato salad was indeed homemade and
everything I knew it would be. My chicken fingers came with corn and real
mashed potatoes with homemade gravy...and that scone. Now that scone isn't like
the hard nasty pastry you get from Starbucks. This thing was made from scratch
with love...lots of love and then fried ever so slightly to perfection. It
could have been mixed with mashed potatoes and gravy or had blueberries put on
it. So versatile! I know, because I had all of the above with [it].
#2) Mom's is an apt name, because the restaurant seemed to be
populated entirely by shrieking children and crying babies. Judging from the
other reviews, ordering the scone is the thing to do but, alas, sometimes you
see the other reviews too late. The breakfast menu is about as limited and
uninspired as a breakfast menu can be and the abandoned food on neighboring
tables looked heavy and bland: limpid eggs, pyramids of barely-touched biscuits
and gravy that had the color of volcanic ash and the consistency of a blood
clot.
Someday I must actually go in and order a scone.
