Mom's Kitchen

Mom's Kitchen, located in Auburn, CA is just like the name implies, as this family owned and operated restaurant serves "comfort food," just like mom used to serve at home. It's also dedicated to mothers from all over Auburn, and greater Placer County, as the walls and shelves of the spacious dining room are decorated with countless photos of local moms, from many gold country generations...As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a white board with the daily specials. You'll no doubt be impressed at the photos of many generations of local moms... there must be a couple hundred photos of moms decorating the restaurant.The dining room is large, with high tables around the walls, and lower tables in the center. Each table is set with an array of condiments, including two flavors of Tabasco sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, jam and dispenser of maple syrup. Mom's is serious about breakfast!Most of the walls are painted a cheery white with red trim, and are decorated with hundreds of photos of local moms, going back several generations. The restaurant truly lives up to it's name.From the "Breakfast" section of the menu, I went with "Classic Breakfast," with hash browns and sourdough toast as my sides of choice. If you're not in the mood for hash browns, you can order country potatoes, and instead or toast, you can choose between grits or pancakes. How many restaurants in Auburn offer grits on their breakfast menu?I ordered my eggs fried sunnyside up, and they arrived perfectly, as per my order. The slab of hash brown potatoes was cooked to a perfect, medium golden brown on the outside, with the perfect amount of "crunch" for some of the outer layers. Inside, the potatoes were a perfect, tender, chewy white, just the way hash browns are meant to be. The two slices of sourdough toast were toasted perfectly, with melted butter covering each slice, which makes for a superior piece of toast.This breakfast was very simple, on the light side, but it was just what I had in mind for this Thursday morning, as I was in the mood for a light breakfast, and my "Classic Breakfast" was simply perfect. The portion size was perfect, the price was right, and the food was truly delicious. Add it all up, and you'll enjoy an amazing breakfast at Mom's Kitchen!Your mother would feel right at home at Mom's Kitchen, as the restaurant offers delicious home style cooking, served by super friendly staff, in a comfortable, spacious dining room, decorated to honor many generations of Auburn-area moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers... and all generations.For amazing gold country dining, visit Mom's Kitchen, located on Nevada St., in Auburn, CA.My mom and I give this fine diner a solid FIVE STARS for great food and friendly service.

My go to for a burger in Auburn. All patties are hand formed, juicy and flavorful. Wife loves the patty melt black and blue and they get it right every time. Breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong. The decor is quaint. Place is not much to look at but the food can't be beat. Always a good conversation with Mick.

I've been a regular here for a few years now since I work so close by, the food here is fantastic, the service is top notch, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is endearing. The menu might not have as many options as a place like Denny's or Applebees, but it blows their quality out of the water. This is a hole in the wall diner that does what it should best, serving good food quickly that makes you want to come back again soon.

Everything's on the menu great! Including the service. Love the banter experience with the owner. Totally a must!

The food is unbelievable the homemade cheeseburger it taste like waggle steak very friendly staff it feel like home. Thank you for the beautiful service and the beautiful food. Best breakfast as well.

Great place to get a good breakfast with eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes. Great price just get there before 9 AM. And the service is top notch. A place where you can sit and see if you can find your mom on the wall.

This place was awesome. Delicious food and friendly staff. So happy I popped in! Made my day.

Mom's Kitchen lives up to its name. A nice little restaurant serving food like your mom would make at prices you can afford. The owner takes your order using only his memory! Food is always right on. Enough food to fill your belly without waste. Has an early bird special until 9:30am. For those of you complaining that the owner touched your shoulder or arm that is called being friendly, hospitable. Grow up! I have been coming to Moms for about 3 years and there is equal opportunity in the owners friendliness. I am on a plant based diet now so I stick to the oatmeal, cooked to order, for breakfast. Before I switched, the eggs and bacon always cooked to perfection! The bacon is thick cut not the wimpy limpy bacon from other restaurants

The owner was touching my wife inappropriately. I should've said something, but I didn't. I chose never to go back again and give him a bad review. His food wasn't that great and everyone needs to know this guy is the world too touchy with women. Never going back there again.!!!!!

GREAT FOOD. Service is excellent. Very good coffee. Our food came hot, everything made fresh. Owner is friendly and funny.
