Mama's Kitchen - Family restaurant in Green Valley - 180 W Continental Rd, USA

While certainly not the best food I've eaten, it was still good but certainly not what l would consider to be great. Upon arrival l found the exterior of this establishment to be well maintained and free of any noticeable detracting issues. Upon entry of this establishment, I was immediately and warmly greeted upon arrival and invited to sit wherever I wanted. I found my table to be clean and well stocked. I couldn't help but notice that all of the condiments bottles on the table had been previously cleaned and we're free of debris or left over accumulated residue from previous patrons. Something unfortunately often neglected and overlooked in today's world. My server was busier then a long tailed cat at a rocking chair convention, but still quickly made contact with me and filled my beverage order in a timely fashion. Additionally she made continuous contact with me throughout my entire meal ensuring my needs were fully met. Based on previous Google reviews, I elected to try the chicken fried steak, additionally l ordered medium poached eggs, hash browns, and a grilled English muffin. Additionally l ordered ice water and a decaf coffee. My food arrived shortly after ordering. I felt the delay between the time l ordered and the time the food arrived to be minimal at best, l felt it was rather quick, especially since the place was occupied at just under full capacity. Sadly I found my chicken fried steak disappointing, it obviously was a institutional prepackaged frozen puck. Additionally I found my gravy to be thin, and obviously out of a premade, prepackaged bag of gravy powder, to be generous, it was a less than impressive imitation to real gravy. I found the poached eggs cooked well past the point of what l considered to be medium. I found my hash browns to be lacking any substantial noticeable flavor. I found my English muffin to be buttered rim to rim and grilled to absolute perfection. In a desperate attempt to flavor the food, l added abundant salt and ample pepper to it in order to revive it. No it's certainly wasn't the best food I've ever eaten, but it was good. While not excessively expensive, the food prices were fair and reflective of the inflationary insanity of the world we currently live in. I did not find it valued priced nor did I find it excessively pricey. I experienced top-notch customer service from the moment I walked in until l departed the establishment. At no time did I ever need anything and this was achieved solely by the means of the efforts of the exemplary wait staff. My coffee was simply never allowed to get low. And while I'm not sure if I would return with any great regularity, l would still return. And this is solely based on my expectations that I thought the food was institutionally disappointing and truthfully could have been better. I personally don't believe it's extremely or overly difficult to cook real food and serve it to people versus just warming up pre-packaged institutional imitation food and pawning it off as imitation homemade food. The restrooms are located further to the north in the same strip mall. You'll need to inquire with your server for the current access code to secure entry. This establishment has a clearly posted NO PETS allowed policy.

Don't be deceived by the exterior because it's warm and inviting inside. They were short staffed the day I dined, but the service was great. The food was good; the Wheatcakes are worth trying. The dining room is small and comfortable with communal tables in the center and private booths along the sides.

Great Food in a Home Style Diner We happened to be at the Continental Shopping Plaza and saw this place opposite the Safeway in a strip and thought we'd give it a try. We were there at about 11:30 and most tables and booths were full. By noon, people were waiting. My wife had the Pork Tenderloin sandwich ($14.99) served on a hamburger bun with all the usual condiments and veggies and a Green Bean side dish. The pork was fried crispy and very moist inside. She really enjoyed it. The green beans were delicious, cooked with onion and green pepper. A perfect side. I ordered the Cowboy Breakfast ($10.99) served in a skillet. Crisp fried potatoes topped with a tasty chili with beans, cheese, 2 eggs cooked as you like, and I added grilled onion. Toast was included. A very filling dish that I would recommend. They close mid-afternoon so consider them for breakfast or lunch.

Food was good. Service was good. But the customer directly behind me this morning started loudly snort blowing his nose every few seconds. Then he started coughing and sneezing continuously. I didn’t look back to see if he covered his mouth but it didn’t sound like it and I felt his cough and sneeze on the back of my neck a couple of times. The nose blowing alone made us lose out appetites. We paid our tab and left an unfinished breakfast. This was our third and last visit to this restaurant. The staff did nothing, said nothing.

What a disappointment! After reading all the reviews, we were really looking forward to Mama's Kitchen. First, the coffee was subpar. How do you get coffee wrong? Food took a long time to get to the table and everything was mediocre at best. Food was not up to my Mama's expectations...

Everything here is excellent, great experience all around! Definitely a neighborhood place for breakfast, brunch and lunch!

Cowboy breakfast thumbs up great meal

Good food. Friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Enjoyed two breakfasts while in Green Valley!
