Mother's - Tampa, Florida

Service was fantastic. I was so scared to try something and our waitress was so genuine. Music was a little loud. The crab bread bowl is phenomenal, but the lobster bites are out of this world. The dipping sauce is so good. The smoked old fashion had apple simple syrup and it was really good. The chicken tortellini is a little spicy but has great flavor.

I visited Mothers last week for a light dinner / appetizers and was impressed by the menu selection and ambience as I had not visited for a while. We arrived before six pm and the seating was open so we chose to sit at a high top table in the bar area. The dining options include a large covered outdoor patio or inside booths and tables as well as the indoor bar area high tops or seats at the large curved wooden bar which face the tv screens which are popular for sports viewing and conversation.

Our server and bartender, Shawna, promptly came over with menus, advised us of the taco Tuesday special and other drink and food options. We took advantage of the happy hour pricing on drinks and one of the appetizer options - cheese curds. The drinks were well made by hand as ordered as were our preferences, promptly delivered and delicious. We liked that water was also provided and delivered before the drinks. The cheese curds tasted fresh, were hot and lightly fried served with a flavorful marinara. If you like mozzarella sticks you may find cheese curds a favored alternative. During our visit they were setting up balloon decor to celebrate the restaurant's anniversary and a balloon artist was available for children and families to enjoy their creations.

After our first round of drinks we decided to try other offerings and the frose is highly recommended. We also ordered the 12 piece wings which came with a generous side of sauce, celery and carrot sticks so a good keto meal. My companion ordered some vegetarian options and especially enjoyed the brussel sprouts. In addition to Shawna we also had Derek working the bar who also provided equally friendly attentive service also visiting our table. It was nice to not hunt anyone down and we felt well cared for. . Everything from menus to tables to floors was clean and well kept. Overall moderate pricing and a comfortable place to visit with a varied menu to please most anyone so a great choice for families or groups to keep everyone satisfied. Mothers has always been a great destination for all ages and there are events offered regularly to accommodate a wide age range from theme nights, karaoke, wine dinners, brunches and children's events like the balloon artist. The restaurant is located in a large strip plaza anchored by Publix with plenty of convenient, well lit parking. Those are some of the reasons this has been a very long lasting local reliable favorite in the heart of Westchase. I am very pleased to report a well deserved reputation and wanted to provide a thorough review of our experience as they are a great community supporter.

We visited Mother’s restaurant on Easter Sunday. The restaurant was not very busy. The hostess was polite. We had to wait a little while for service once we were sat. We ordered a chicken Cesar salad and a Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The fries were served cold and the the salad had a few croutons that were rock solid. Other than that, the menu had a large selection and a nice amount of indoor/outdoor seating. I really appreciated that they decorated nicely for Easter.

My husband has a burger and I had the spinach and Bleu salad with steak. Both were excellent and he is hard to please with burgers! It was super busy but Our server was hustling and on it. The West 7 Band was playing and they were awesome! A very pleasant evening out!

Came here for a birthday brunch and would definitely come back for one of their weekly specials. We shared a bunch of menu items and most were delicious. The avocado toast was a bit bland and basic, so we'll skip it next time.

Ohhh my goodness. We were celebrating our 8th anniversary and had the absolute best service from Allison. She was soo sweet & upbeat and even gave us each a free glass of champagne to celebrate! The entree’s were great but the bread pudding topped the “cake”!!!! Will definitely be coming back!

We have been to mothers for lunch but never brunch. We were excited to try it.
There were 2 of us and we were going to split the stuffed French toast and corned beef hash skillet. We were then told despite the hash being on the menu, they were no longer serving it, so we did Avocado toast instead.
The food came out and the food was extremely below par. The avocado toast was barely toasted bread, sliced avocado (not fresh), tomato and wilted lettuce thrown together on a plate. No seasoning at all and very small.
The stuffed French toast was just Hawaiian rolls with watery melted vanilla icing in the middle. There was NO cream cheese taste, NO fresh berries, and NO maple syrup as advertised. The turkey sausage was dry and hard and near inedible.
I got a side of cheese grits (without a spoon, we had to go to the bar and ask after waiting) and there were accidentally cold pieces of shredded carrots mixed in with my grits, clearly not supposed to be there.
Service was below par and overall waitress was not very personable.
We were so disappointed with overall experience and will not be back to Mothers. The quality and service has severely decreased. We could have made better breakfast at home.
We enjoy supporting local places, especially in a difficult economy, but this restaurant lately needs to regain their standards and quality.
