Absolutely blown away by this cute little breakfast spot. I got the chicken fried steak - the steak was thin and perfectly crispy. The gravy had great seasoning and my over medium eggs were perfectly runny. My hubby got the ggs benedict - the eggs were cooked perfect and the sauce had really good flavor. Staff was friendly and the environment had a "welcome home" feeling. We will definitely be back!!
The place is easy to miss. Brutally honest here by saying it looks incredible outdated and a bit dumpy. But the food is absolutely tasty. Very good prices. Their hashbrowns are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The waffle has a very delicate wafer crunch and you can taste hints of vanilla. Really kind waitresses and excellent service. Might make this my go to spot for lunch on hangover Sundays.
I ordered the ham & eggs with side order of pancake. Both were on point. Eggs were perfect, ham was huge and the pancake was perfection. My wife had the vegetarian omelet that was stuffed with so many ingredients they were bulging out. Dawn and the rest of the staff are fantastic! Highly recommend, great atmosphere and a good down to earth breakfast.
Ma's is an amazing place for a quality fresh hot well priced breakfast! My wife and I had breakfast today. Ma's is anything but fancy. The building is old and really needs a remodel. It does appear there may be at least a floor upgrade in the future, boxes of floor material at the rear entry. But if you don't mind a less than "pretty" atmosphere, then this could be a place for you to give a try.. Today, we had biscuits and gravy and the meat omlette. My wife has said the gravy here is "the best"!. My omlette was filled with meat, hot and just plain good.
Had breakfast with a friend and got the eggs benidct, and he got the hobo hash. Great service and comfort and fast times and the food was absolutely delicious. Parking was a bit small so take care. Overall the food was good and not expensive, service was kind, and it was busy but the food was quick and didn't cut corners. Would recommend for family breakfast or groups of friends.
Always hot and tasty. Cheap food. Open till 2 PM. Kelsi did a great job serving us. She was right there with refills. Parking was a little limited but we had no problem. Don’t come here during the Fair on the weekend. It takes longer to get service.
Ma's is like home! Old building with a bar attached but THEE BEST food ever- simple and cheap! I'm from Wisconsin and it reminds me of a small town joint, that has good service and it's straight to the point for cheap!! Kaylee is the best waitress as well
