Mom’s Kitchen: Taste the Heart of American Breakfast & Brunch in Auburn, CA

Nice little place with a simple interior whose walls are lovingly filled with pictures of customer's mothers. Welcomed in and treated so kindly by the staff. Pancakes were wonderful and the hash browns were cooked perfectly, not burned or raw anywhere. Really made us feel warm and at home.

Mom’s NEVER disappoints us. Food is excellent & made “my way”! Big portions, great prices & friendly owner. One of our favorite places to eat when passing through Auburn.

Great diner-style business, and sole proprietor. The veggie omelets were delicious, so was the coffee. The owner served us and was a delightful person, you can tell he loves what he's doing. Prices were reasonable, service was excellent, food was delicious. This place isn't a posh atmosphere, but it is comfortable and homey, with old family photos covering the walls, and a warm greeting when you arrive. I'll definitely be back! Support small businesses and the American dream!

This was kind of a difficult place to rate. A person could easily give this place 5 stars or even 3 stars. It all depends on perspective or personal taste. I tend to have a big breakfast, so keep that in mind. This place does have lots of choices for breakfast, so that is always appreciated. I ended up getting the Sierra Scramble with a pancake on the side. The Scramble was a little unconventional, but that didn't detract from the taste. Full disclosure, I was asked how I want my eggs, which isn't something I ever had a choice on a "scramble". Anyway, I blurted out over-easy as that is always how I have my eggs normally. As you will see from the pics, the scramble only has 2 eggs, normally there are 3, and the pancake is pretty small. Portions aside, the food was good and the service was great! I did walk out of there full, so maybe I shouldn't complain. But I'm not really complaining as much as I'm just noting. I did like it well enough that I will return. Oh, I should mention that prices were great, so there is that going for it too. I feel I should comment on the service again, I was seated right away and had attentive quick service throughout. With so many restaurants struggling with staffing lately, getting good service really stands out right now.

owner- server has an excellent memory. He can take several orders at once with no notepad. I can barely remember my own name...Mick is very hospitable and remembers your name, drink and orzers from the past. He is very kind and honest..The place is a little run down, but Mick & AJ (the cook) make up for it with their great made from scratch food and hospitality. One of my favorite breakfast/lunch places in Auburn...

Wanted to try something new....hence "Mom's." The server who likely owned the place had a dry sense of humor I really enjoyed. The ambiance(?) could definitely use an update, but so could my sorry old booty. However- the food was good. Prices were very reasonable. Thanked the friendly cook as we left. A different old school experience. It felt like I went to a cousin's house for breakfast.

Super food, and low prices for the best omelet I've had. It's a cute little diner with friendly staff and plenty of parking. I recommend you try breakfast at this hidden gem.

Every time I go in for Breakfast the Owner greats me like we where long time buddies I love the Corn beef hash!!!! Great Cafe and memories of Mom !
