Good food, big portions, pancakes are huge, I had French toast and eggs with bacon, first time here and Syracuse, staff is friendly also. It's cash only and closes at 1:30pm

The problem with the size of the establishment is and always was an issue, unless you want to spend decent time sitting in you car, waiting for your order or battle time, space and the legion of others to get a seat. Mother's is good food breakfast and lunch, but is known for it's great breakfast.

Servers were quick and efficient while busy and were still friendly. Portion sizes are huge and reasonably priced (and delicious). Feels homey/cozy, classic diner style. Would highly recommend!!!

My # 1 diner to go to, it's never a let down. The food is always great and the portion sizes are incredible!.It's a small shack and a bit claustrophobic but the staff are amazing. You will easily miss the turn and the parking is what it is.One thing i would love for this establishment to do is open a second location with more space inside and out. But all in all when you come here you will NOT be disappointed.

What a GEM! My husband and I were driving down from Buffalo back home to Southern MA and googled a breakfast spot along our route and couldn’t have been more pleased. My husband is a chef and a little dive like this is exactly what we love: small, impeccably attentive service, simple and delicious menu, huge portions for very little cost. We will definitely return along our trek back some time! 12/10 recommend - had better service today than we did at our $200 steak meal last night. We had a blueberry pancake to share, veggie omelet and sausage and gravy. Pancakes will blow your mind but the coffee, sausage and gravy, and omelet will also.

I've never gone in. But their size is the size of a small tool shed. Not good to be so small.

to be completely honest i was thoroughly disgusted by the amount of dirt that was under the waitresses fingernails … which concerned me because she was helping expo and touching the food with her bare hands .. im actually suprised the health department hasn’t shut down this place. I really don’t mean to sound mean or rude but its just unsanitary and unsafe to handle food with dirty hands… it just made everything else i was willing to overlook that much more disgusting …. I feel bad even saying this because they were really nice but i just hope that they are able to let the waitress know to maybe wear gloves or scrub under her nails before serving or touching food.

It's not clean looking inside which makes me lose my appetite. I have heard the food is good but if a place doesn't look clean I can't eat there
