At the end of my long day I was treated with kindness & courtesy & had a delightful meal. The special of the day was Chicken Florentine & it’s all home-made & delicious-o! I topped off everything with an Italian Cream Cake that would make Italians like Emarald Lagasse smile & ask for more! It was moist, creamy & had just enough pecans!

Decor was lovely, giving the restaurant a quaint, homey aesthetic. They were able to accommodate our party of 9 on a Saturday evening (definitely call ahead, they don’t take reservations but they were able to get a table ready when we were on our way)!

Sorry but the owner retired and sold. Has not reopened the last time I went by there. She took great pride in her restaurant. You could not have asked for better! Enjoy your retirement!

The chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and pan sauce is on point amazing there’s a depth of flavor every single time that you can’t match anywhere. And Miss Carolyn is so amazing.

The good part is that the restaurant is one of the cleanest restaurants I have seen. Much care is taken to make everything look and feel well scrubbed and fresh. The staff is also as friendly as you could want. They are courteous, accommodating and helpful. The not so good is that we felt the food was average at best. The pasta sauce was not authentic, oils on the pasta dishes were vegetable and not olive and the salads were plain iceberg lettuce. The prices were fair but we would have gladly paid much more for a more delectable fare.

The food was good and the prices were ok. The reason I’m giving them a 4 instead of a 5 is because we all had problems reading the menu. We had never been there before but we were in the area and had heard good things about this place from friends. The dining room needs more lighting. It was too dark for me and my parents to comfortably read the menus. I had to use the flashlight app on my phone to help my Mom & Dad (who are elderly). The server seen us struggling and didn’t offer any help or suggestions.

Service was good. Went on a Thursday which is prime rib night, ordered medium it was closer to well done which wasn’t bad but would have preferred it medium. Loaded baked potato was good and so was the bread.

Mom & Dads is one of those restaurants that is hit and miss. I had chicken Parmesan and it was amazing! I’m sorry to say its not always good. The food is way over-priced and if your looking for a romantic setting this is not the place to go. It reminds me of a little corner café. The deserts are amazing. Pricey but delicious. I can say we’ve always had an amazing waitress. They always greet you with a smile and talk to you like they’ve known you they’re entire life! And that is huge this day and time.

So the food is good I really love the lasagna and fried cheese. The fried mushrooms are pretty good too. The reason I gave three starts is because of they way they operate. It just doesn’t work at all. There is a person dedicated to handling the drinks rather than the waitress. Every time we have ate there the waitress shows up before the drink person does and they tell us the drink person will be around shortly. Often times the drink person doesn’t show up and the waitress ends up taking our drink order anyway. Then when you empty your glass and don’t get a refill you end up asking your waitress for a refill only to be told the drink person will be around shortly which is rarely the case. When the waitress brought warm bread out we asked for butter and they said “oh it comes out with the drinks.” That doesn’t make any sense and by the time the butter comes out the bread has cooled down. I worked in food service for about 15 years some of that time as a waiter so I have experience. The whole process just doesn’t work. As far as I’m concerned they have some of the best food in town but the way they do things drives me crazy.
