Mom's Restaurant — Restaurant in Sterling

While on our way to another location (which we also heard was pretty good), our GPS stopped us short. We saw Mom's and asked some folks outside if it was worth a try. They expressed their fondness of Mom's so we decided to try it out. At first glance, we were blown away by the subtle, unassuming cafe style beauty. The place was pretty well packed but they cleared a booth for us. A great little waitress popped over to our table welcoming us and offering suggestions and answering questions (we're picky diner eaters and have a certain level of expectation of which we find MANY locations sadly fall short). MOM's does NOT FALL SHORT. In fact, the coffee the chicken dumpling soup (HOLY SMOKES IT'S AMAZING!!!!!) the meatloaf bowl, the biscuits and gravy all were completely wonderful. As previously stated, our waitress suggested several of the items we ordered and OBVIOUSLY she takes "ownership" of her position there and pride in her work as each of the items was even better than she described. I've eaten all over the world (retired military), I have taken trains for 9 hours for a specific meal at a specific restaurant, I have driven 8 hours to try a burger in the middle of the foothills of Tarply Texas. All of my food trips were worth the time and effort, however, considering Mom's is only 45 minutes I would say this place would rank up with the cheese beer bread with onions at the Monastery in Baumberg Germany. I would recommend this place to anyone. One last item to mention, 3 of us left there COMPLETELY FULL, SATISFIED and a box of leftovers, and our total bill was $25. Three people cannot eat the garbage at a fast food place for that much! Save your money, drive over to Mom's, grab a table, order anything, and enjoy your food knowing you're eating in one of the greatest little places between the QC...

Thought we would try a new diner for lunch, switch things up, keep the marriage alive. Something exciting. The wife doesn’t like change but I regretfully persuaded her. We were hungry for lunch but ordered breakfast instead due to the lack of options for the lunch portion of the menu. We were seated and it took quite a while for our waitress to get to us so we knew what we wanted and ordered at the same time as our drinks. We were noticing it was taking a while to get our food. As our hunger grew we watched as others who arrived after us, received their food and even FINSIHED and paid before ours showed up. We wondered disparagingly, if our time would ever come. After an hour our 2 skillets appeared. This would be the last we would ever see our waitress. Not once did anyone come back to check on us. Our waitress did check on everyone around us but passed us right by. We had been finished with our meal for a while and still no bill. Left to our own devices, the little lady set out to try and find a to-go box for the lack luster food we had leftover. She returned empty handed. Perhaps they keep them in the kitchen but neither of us dared go back there. As we watched our hostess fiddle with the salad bar, we made eyecontact and she went back to her salads, we lost hope, got up and went to the front, asked for our bill and paid, and left with a vow to ourselves to never return. The wife served me divorce papers immediately after this. I am...

Waited around to see a waitress, opened some ornaments we had bought earlier to waste time, finally got drinks ordered after 15 mins (a beer and a lemonade), got drinks and she said she'd be back to take our order, another 10 min or so go by. We ordered green machine wrap, chicken pannini and both got salad and soup bar as side. I'm so glad I atleast got salad and soup to eat to calm my hangry attitude cause we waited an hour for just the sandwiches... We couldn't even ask about our food cause we never saw our waitress. I had to go up to counter to find another lady for silverware so I could even eat my salad. Soup was creamy chicken and rice and after 2 bowls apiece for my husband and I, we got enough chicken to make a chicken nugget. When our sandwiches finally were brought by yet another lady (still our waitress no where around), we asked for boxes to take sandwiches home cause while experience just ruined our appetite so we haven't tried those yet to give a review. When we seemed disappointed and asked to leave, waitress said she doesn't know what was up with kitchen today, but yet we watched a few tables who came in after I ate my salad even have not only their food, but almost finished their meals... Seems like unorganized or untrained staff and corners cut by either management or staff. Not a great first experience and seems like in last few weeks,...
