Ma Mosa's — Restaurant in Grants Pass

Good food that was obviously higher quality than places with similar prices. I got an amazing chicken sandwich today: the patty I could even tell was straight from a chicken. Not processed at all, nice thick breaded piece of juicy chicken. The bun tasted a lot like a croissant and was light and fluffy but still filling and fitting with the coleslaw on the sandwich. The pasta was a bit weird of a side with it, but you can upgrade the meal for a salad instead too. Wheelchair accessible, outdoor seating only right now from what I could tell. Great seating with an upbeat feel. Only thing I would change is how close people were smoking to the outdoor area. There was second hand smoke all throughout the tables while we ate and that was really gross. Their prices are surprisingly close to Wendy's and Sheri's types of places but they source as locally as possible and have some really great options. I was impressed. The fruit selection with the waffles was really fresh and good. They would have a really awesome setup with some more space and good parking. The biggest downside to this place is parking. The parking is dumb and difficult because they don't allow parking in the dead grass right next to it, the close spots get taken really fast and the other actual parking spots around it are reserved for jury, judges, courthouse, private business etc. So your options are the side of the streets....

The client recommended Ma Mosa's, and I was excited as her restaurant suggestions have always been outstanding.

This restaurant was a great disappointment. We purposely came after the lunch rush at 1:30. Seating was fast with menus and water with very few patrons. Coffee was serve-yourself, and it was lukewarm in the thermos pump. This should have been our warning.

We waited for over 40 minutes to get our food after ordering when my client finally asked. The food had been sitting (not plated); not sure why. But instead of redoing it, she served it anyways. The food was so cold the butter would not melt on her pancakes. My county potatoes had beaded oil, and the sourdough toast was ice cold. I asked for no butter but jam. I was given 1/3 filled dip cup; it might have been a scant teaspoon at best. She never checked back though I asked to refill our water jar twice.

Overpriced, poor service, and cold food. Sadly this is...

In fairness, I want to say we have only been here once. The food and drinks were pretty awesome. The staff was crazy friendly and fun...ny. This is an active, lively and happy place. However, when we walked in we were shocked how small and crowded it was. But, we decided to give it a try anyway. I am glad we did because the food and service really was awesome. Sadly, we wont be back though. While sitting at a table for two we felt awkward. People were literally standing with their 'rear ends' in our faces (not joking) while they waited for a table. People were also waiting at the coffee 'bar' behind us and we couldn't help but feel like we were part of their conversation since they were standing over us. We felt completely crowded and uncomfortable.

If you love being in crowded lively places this place is great for you. If you prefer a slower pace to sit and relax, then this is not a great...
