We had a lovely time and meal at Mom’s House. We had the Fried Catfish with French Fries, fried okra, hush puppies, and fried cabbage and everything was delicious. Excited to return!!!

One of my favorite ice cream shops. I love the black and white sundae. The candy is so addicting! I can’t stop eating the peanut butter chews and pistachio chews. It’s like eating a soft bite sized ABBA Zabba. The staff was friendly and we...Read More

Mom's House is more than all the reviews I've seen. The food is absolutely delicious. Stopped in on my trip from the Bay and it did not disappoint! My colleagues took me here and I came back the next day by myself...Read More

The service is always pleasant. Food is great always seasoned well and it doesn't take them long to bring it out after you order. Red kool-aid is always sweeter than the grape somehow. Macaroni and cheese is not the greatest I've had but it's OK....Read More

This food is perfection. 👌 I've taken vendors from Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia, and they have all said this food is the real deal!

The wait was long but the food was well worth the wait. As a man in the waiting room said, “if it’s a long wait, the food will be great.” The fish and chicken had the taste of fresh oil, something that should be appreciated...Read More

Seating was accommodating and servers were able to move tables and chairs around for accessibility.

Everything about this place from the food, to the service to the atmosphere is top tier! The cabbage & catfish is sooo amazing. The shrimp is my fave as well. Definitely the best soul food place in town!

I’m from Texas, so I was a little skeptical about Californian Soul food . I must admit this place is really good, The grape kool-aide was very refreshing. I will be returning to try more of their dishes.
