Final stop in a foodie weekend, Mrs. T and I hit MB for brunch. Clean place and the staff was cheerful and attentive. Got a 1/2 order of Peach French toast and that was really good. Mrs. T went with the breakfast sandwich and I got the eggs and cheese platter. (Just a larger version of the breakfast sandwich that... more

Great breakfast spot and great local flavor. The breakfast Tacos are my personal favorite. The place is very kid friendly and the staff has fun with the kids. We have had dinner there a few times and it was good, but breakfast or brunch is our favorite. more

We had the peach french toast and strawberry lemonade for Sunday brunch. The lemonade was amazing, and the french toast was deceptively large - I couldn't finish a full order. My only quibble was that the restaurant did not follow safe food practices - the cooks did not wear gloves, the whipped cream and butter were sitting out at room... more

My girlfriend is pregnant and if we eat out it HAS to be mama's boy! The servers are all super cool and hip but they don't seem to mind if you aren't. Good food with heart. There is faster food and there is cheaper food but I have not found better food in athens. more

I was so anxious to try this place out and kinda wish I had gone... more

Mama's Boy is the kind of place you find only in good college towns. The food is very good, and an incredible value for the price. Unlike breakfast/brunch/lunch places in Atlanta and other cities -- where the dishes are $12.95 and you eat about half the food -- Mama's Boy gives you the right amount on your plate for a... more

such a cute, quirky place- great to take visitors bc it has the "southern diner" vibe going on.... great diner type food, i'd recommend it for breakfast or lunch but not a nice dinner.... just a fun, casual meal more

Great food

This little gem of a place is like an old timey diner from the fifties and the food is a gem too. Breakfast is consistently fabulous, but lunch offers a variety of good offerings too. If nothing suits your fancy, try the pimento cheese topped hamburger. Yum! more
