Mom's...sister company of Madison Bear Garden, sitting on the opposite cat corner on Salem in downtown Chico, is actually the BETTER of the 2 restaurants. Why? Let's start with outside dining and better overall atmosphere...NOW, let's get to the real reason, the FOOD!! My wife and I stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning and were seated in about 2 minutes. The mood is uplifting, the inside is beautiful and subdued, and the staff plentiful and friendly. My wife ordered the Corned Beef Hash with 3 poached eggs and potatoes, I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with 3 over easy eggs, and we also ordered the French Toast to share. The wait time was minimal before we got our meal, and it was a glorious feast for both the eyes and stomach. Everything was cooked to perfection, from the tenderness of the corned beef and the chicken fried steak, to the prep of the eggs and the doneness of the potatoes, through to the French toast smothered with a scoop of cream in the middle. Our waitress checked on us a minimum of 6 times, refilling our coffee as needed. Dining here will have you spoiled against other establishments. The prices are fair considering the amount of food you receive, and it should be noted that we've heard ZERO bad reviews about Mom's. We will eat here a few more times just to further check out the menu deeper. Sorry, Nash's... you've been put on notice.

Mom’s is grandiose in its presentation. Corner location, a sizable establishment that truly separates them. Decoration is everywhere, inspires respect if only for the investment. Service in our case was efficient by a professional female server. Food ordered: Farmer’s Breakfast, $10.99. 2 eggs, mom’s potatoes, hardwood smoked bacon chosen, and sourdough toast chosen over biscuit. Eggs over easy done right, bacon thin (2 slices), potatoes soft, agreeable, not much more than that. 3 Stars. Sourdough toast uneventful. 3 Stars. Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs, $16.99. Thick gravy, average fried steak no ground breaker, mom’s breakfast potatoes again, 3 eggs over medium once again done to exact standards. A good chicken fried steak is difficult to find, some say you must travel as far as Texas, which definitely have the skills for some memorable ones. 3 Stars. Coffee strong with caffeine. Decaf also strong according to female companion. 3.5 Stars. Service fast and pleasant. 4 Stars. Total $36+? plus gratuity well earned. 3.5 Stars.

Bill, party of three! We had one of the best breakfasts out that we've had in a few years. The three of us had Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs, Veggie Lover's Scramble, and Corned Beef Hash with Swiss Cheese. All served with their delicious breakfast potatoes. Their breakfast potatoes are not like the home fries or country potatoes you can get at other places. I can go on and on about how moist and flavorful the stupid potatoes are but just try them. The chicken fried steak and the gravy that goes with it was well above average as was the corned beef hash, which was made from freshly cooked corned beef. Great restaurant staff that worked as a team, food was delivered while it was piping hot and drinks were refilled before they were empty. Great place.

1 of the only places open at 8am on a Thursday downtown in Chico...Mom's. After a quick visit to Golden 1 Credit Union my girlfriend and I decided to have breakfast. Mom's is a very nice choice if you are in need of a delicious meal. I had the country fried steak with potatoes and scrambled eggs. Other than the potatoes being warm instead of hot it was amazing. My girlfriend got chocolate chip pancakes and OMG were they huge. She ended up taking 2 and a half out of 3 home they were so big. Lol. Karen our waitress assured us that there was nothing wrong with our eyes it's just how big they make pancakes. With friendly staff, amazing food and unique look...Mom's is definitely a Chico gem.
