Every Thanksgiving we come from NYC to celebrate with my San Antonio-born wife’s family… and we always stop to eat at Mama’s…the great food and the superior staff make it a go-to place for us! And this morning, our server Pablo helped make it even more special… after a friendly, loud request to management at the cashier’s as we were leaving (I asked ‘where’s the Mama’s tee-shirt… we come to San Antonio once a year and I always look for a favorite restaurant tee”)… but before we walked out the door, Pablo came hurrying to us and gifted me with a Staff shirt! How cool was that😎

Excellent Tex-Mex breakfast and burgers. The Ginger 75 drink was good as well. Barb B was a fun and attentive server.

They accommodated our request for a patio table as we had a small dog with us. Service was excellent. Husband had fish and chips and enjoyed it. I had the schnitzel with cabbage and spaetzle. Portion was generous, sides were good, but I thought the schnitzel was under-seasoned and tasted flat. Cherry cobbler was yummy!

Haven’t been in a few years and the food was better than I’ve ever had! Artfully plated and seasoned. Not too salty and a fresher take on diner food/home-cooking. I had the chicken fried steak that was cooked perfectly with green beans that were fresh and still crisp with light garlic, salt and pepper seasoning. It was just perfect! Waitstaff were very friendly and helpful. Will be back sooner than before!
