on Citysearch Jul 14, 2009As noted, this is a fine place for brunch, assuming you are lucky enough to get a seat. The restaurant is not all that nice inside, but that is part of the charm and the food speaks for itself.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 19, 2009My wife and I went here on a Saturday morning and for two the wait was not bad. The ambience is cheery and the wait staff seemed to be in a good mood if not a bit harried. I am willing to forgive a little sloppiness if the food... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 29, 2009I've eaten at Mothers many times and I love it. They have lots of vegetarian options, the food is served quickly and all the servers are friendly and personable. The only (and I do mean ONLY) con is it's always busy. I... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2009I have been reading these reviews trying to decide what then next great place to eat out would be and found these to be completely uninformative. The positive ones all look like a bunch of Sh*t.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 31, 2009We went there on 01/30/09 for a friend's birthday and the group of 12 will never go back there again and will be sure to inform our friends. The gentleman that brought our water and bread was in a bad mood, we asked him how... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 09, 2008**I'm revising my rating because Lisa, the Executive Chef and Owner actually cares about customer feedback. I'm giving this restaurant a recommended because it sounds like she is going to work with her staff to... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2008We love to go try new places in Portland and Mother's is a recommendation we're only too happy to pass on to others! We love this place. I love to cook, but it's nice to step out and have some home made tasting meals served... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 05, 2008Mothers serves up the best breakfast. Everything I have had there has been amazing. Usually you have to wait for a table and the staff is always great. The service is always good. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 03, 2008I wish I could review the food, but I am currently snarfing down a McDonald's because after a 45 minute wait our lunch still hadn't come so we left. This was not at the height of the rush either. We arrived about... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 11, 2008I don't care where you come from, or what language you speak, if you tell me people are going to die and that you are destined to become a martyr, I will call the cops on you. And I did, no thanks to the Mother's staff who... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2008Been to Mother's dozen times for Bkfast and a few times for dinner. Perhaps, I am jaded, since we love to cook, but their food is good, not outstanding. It's just what it is, home cooking in a downtown spot. Nothing I've... (more)
