Mama's Luncheonette - Reviews

I had been wanting to try this spot ever since it went viral a couple months ago. As Caesar salad is one of my favorite foods, I had really high expectations. Unfortunately, the wait time was very long, about 45 minutes, spent in the cold. The restaurant has minimal seating and huge crowds on the weekends. They only serve cold salads or breakfast items until about 12: 30 PM. I ordered the Caesar wrap, the chicken Tikka wrap, and the lamb wrap. I was disappointed with the Caesar wrap; it was kind of bland with not a lot of garlic or anchovy flavor. The croutons were not crunchy despite being the first customer to receive their wrap that day. The chicken itself was just okay, and overall, it was nothing special. I don't understand the hype and the waittime, and I would not come back.

I visited on a Sunday with a friend. The line moved quickly, and there was some outdoor seating available. The staff was friendly. My friend ordered the Mama's Breakfast Burrito with brisket, and I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap. I found the wrap to have good chicken flavor, but it was unfortunately too drenched in dressing. The tortilla was also a bit too chewy, suggesting it might have been microwaved or not cooked sufficiently on a flattop. With only one or two croutons, the wrap lacked balance against the softer ingredients. My friend described the breakfast burrito as 'mid' and found the brisket to be bland. The most exciting flavors were from the smoked salsa and harissa aioli. Both the wrap and burrito were a good size. However, the overall flavors were not impressive and ultimately not worth the price. I've had better wraps for less elsewhere, leading me to believe this place is more 'trend' than substance.

My experience at the restaurant was disappointing, especially considering the price. For a $22 dollar lamb wrap, I expected a more substantial amount of lamb. Instead, it was a little baby hors d’oeuvres portion of lamb inside that wrap. The parking was also difficult to find.

My experience at the restaurant involved ordering the chicken Caesar wrap and fries. Unfortunately, the meal was nothing exceptional at all and was insanely overpriced, costing me $27. This price felt pretty crazy, especially when compared to the kale chicken Caesar wrap from Radish, which I found to be 3x as good.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. I started with the Mushroom Wrap, which was sadly disgusting and pretty much inedible. I then ordered their known specialty, the Caesar Wrap. It was twice the size of the mushroom wrap and tasted better, but was ultimately only fine. I really wanted to like this place. If you go, it's probably best to order the Caesar and nothing else.

My experience at this restaurant was positive. The food was good, and the portions were decent. My girlfriend and I shared a wrap, and it was enough to fill both of us up. The staff was smiley and nice, contributing to a pleasant experience.

I tried the chicken Caesar wrap after seeing it all over social media. While it was a decent meal, it was nothing out of the ordinary. The chips were cold, hard, and unseasoned. Food preparation takes a while, and you have to wait outside, but at least there are some sitting spots available. Overall, it's definitely an overhyped spot.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the chicken Caesar was decent, it wasn't worth the $20 price tag, especially considering the hassle of waiting in line and the lack of seating. The accompanying chips were the hard, paprika-flavored kettle kind and weren't very tasty. However, the zaatar fries were delicious, as was the white sauce. The staff seemed frazzled and grumpy, berating customers for standing on the stairs (without any signs) and even clearing a table for packing up before closing time. I'd rather go to Hazel's Kitchen for better service and more options at a fraction of the price. It was a fun one-time try, but not a place I'd make a regular.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! My wife and I shared the Caesar chicken wrap, and it was more than enough for both of us. While the prices are steep, the quality makes it worth it. The house-made chips were absolutely amazingggggg. The people working there were also very nice. I’ll definitely be back and will be dreaming about it until then.

This place is more of a take-away spot as it only has a few outdoor seats. The food was 10/10; we got the Mama's Burrito with turkey bacon, and it was so good!
