“Quite Possibly the Best Breakfast in America”

What can I say about Mama Steve's that hasn't already been said about a Christian-based heaven? The pancakes are fluffy like buttermilk cumulonimbus, the sausages are little links of palpable love, and the French Toast is so good, they should call it French To..my GOD, what is this glorious food?

The coffee could be compared to ambrosia, the nectar of the ancient gods. The cranberry juice is so sweet and pure (and, in fact, a natural diuretic) that you will lose all sense of reality, and see yourself gliding down a long, resplendent rainbow.

The wait staff are angels sent to Earth by God herself to provide the world with love and delicious "Bacon Yummies" pancakes.

Although the name "Mama Steve" may sound funny, don't let it confuse you. Mama Steve, the actual entity, is not a living being, but rather a state of mind. A spirit that lives in all of us. Also, coincidentally, a "Mama Steve" is someone who hasn't ridden Griffon at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA.

Just go and experience for yourself.

“Good breakfast stop!”

Sept 28, '07 Stopped for mid-morning breakfast. Was really pretty good, especially the pancakes. Good middle-market prices. Mens' restroom was a notch below standard. (I've seen better restrooms at Interstate McDonalds, if that tells you anything!) Don't be put off and not try it. It's not a tourist trap, it's just a good, average place for breakfast. Plus, it was not "high season", so we weren't accosted by the previously mentioned time-share salemen.

“OK Place for Breakfast”

After reading the reviews here, we were a little leery to try Mama's. It was close to our hotel and recommended by the hotel staff, so we tried it. It was not as bad as the reviews stated. It was clean, the service was adequate, the wait staff was quaintly dressed, the menu was a little limited and it was a little pricey for a breakfast. But over all, we were not displeased. We would probably eat there again, but we tried to eat at a different place each day.

The waitress was very nice. The place was clean. The food was breakfast. I mean it wasnt horrible and it wasnt the best breakfast ever. If my hotel was next door I would eat there again. I would not drive out of my way though but if I was near it I would go.

“Terrible place for breakfast”

Went there on July 13, 2007 expecting some delicious pancakes as was noted by some patrons. However, we waited over 1/2 hour for service and when we finally received our food we were very disappointed. The bacon was overcooked, the pancakes were heavy and dense and the home fries were disgusting. As someone else mentioned, there was no warm syrup. Instead there were containers of sticky syrup on the table. I would never ever return to this place. Stick to your friendly IHOP for a good quality breakfast.
