Your Mothers Back Yard — Restaurant in Pinellas Park

Stopped by this little place on a whim, and I’m so glad I did. It reminded me of going back in time to the old lunch counters and sandwich spots of the 80’s that my mom would take me to. Signs say they’ve been in business 43+ years and I know why. A simple sandwich menu, daily specials, with super fresh ingredients, lots of regulars, and a homey feel you just can’t fake. The lady who took our order was busy, but made our sandwiches with care, was attentive to us and the other waiting customers. I really like how they slice everything super thin, including the veggies. My picky 6 year old ate every bite and has asked when we will go back to “Mom’s backyard” so that’s the real review right there. My only advice would be to maybe spruce up the decor a bit so it’s not so dated, but it does add to...

I may be crazy, but when I go somewhere to eat, I'd like it quiet, relaxing, a break from the junk of the day. This wasn't my experience on my first and only visit.

A few minutes after I started to eat, one of the owners' "friends" dropped by and proceeded to unload a crap load of conspiracy theories about the recently deceased Pope. "He was an illegitimate Pope, the REAL one was in prison, the Pope saw Trump build a Wall, so he did so, too, around Vatican City (Fun Fact: the Vatican wall was built CENTURIES ago), too many Liberals in the Church loving the LGTBQ Community (Fun Fact: just like Jesus did with ALL the sinners), BLAH, BLAH, BLAH."

My sandwich wasn't special (like Mama might make). A better one with more ingredients and a 20% lower price can be had at Jersey...

My very first time at your mother's backyard Subs was the day it first opened. My recollection 35 years later, is that I was a senior in high school just a mile or so up the road looking for a place for lunch one day with a friend saw the sign and knew that we couldn't not try a place with that as the name. Since then I've lived in Tallahassee, in Key Largo and numerous other places around the state of Florida yet I always find myself whenever I can coming back to your mother's backyard for great food. Happy 35 years in service, here's to the next 35. Even if they're pushing me in in a wheelchair...
