The name is intriguing – Kind of a gimmick. The service was good and attentive, the Restaurant was clean enough. The pancakes tasted like ordinary pancakes. The omelets were average. Overall this felt like a glorified diner- so nothing special.

My family and I visted Williamsburg this year. We got real excited about our food at Mama Steve's House of Pancakes. The combination of the Super 8 and this restaurant's pancakes made our trip fun! I recommend it for all!

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.

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.
