⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) “Homestyle cooking and genuine kindness — the heart of Clarkston comfort food”
Mama K’s is one of those places that reminds you why locally owned diners are irreplaceable. From the second you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile and a warmth that feels more like visiting family than walking into a restaurant. The space itself is cozy and unpretentious — clean tables, the smell of breakfast on the grill, and the hum of friendly conversation in the background.

With that, we promptly left...
Read moreMe and my friend went to try them for the first time today. I had the stuffed french toast and dear Lord it was the best meal I’ve had in a very very long time. So sweet and delicious that it didn’t need the syrup to help it along at all! The bacon and eggs were also yummy. Our server was very kind and funny and the cook brought the food out to us personally. The atmosphere was very nice, it made me feel right at home. I will be back and I would recommend this...
