Mama’s Boy
serves “creative Southern breakfasts and lunches and is the favorite brunch
spot in Athens. This means that if you go in the weekends, you better expect to
wait for at least 20 minutes. It promises “Southern Fun Dining” and its main
menu features classic Southern dishes like Fried Green Tomatoes and Banana
Pudding, but, as it is Athens, it also has Tofu Stir Fry and Vegetable &
Potato Hash (I guess in the South potatoes are not vegetables). They are famous
for their huge biscuits, which are very buttery.
I
order the Georgia Peach French Toast ($7.99): sweet bread from local bakery
Luna, with peach filling, topped with powdered sugar, candied pecans and
whipped cream. I know, it sounds outrageous, and it tasted fine, but definitely
not remarkable. I also get an Egg & Bacon Sandwich, which is also fine. M.
gets the BLT Salad ($7.99), which is too healthy to review, and mainly raves
about the huge biscuit.
VERDICT: 85/100
Mama’s
Boy is a brunch institution in Athens, but I fail to see the special
attraction. Perhaps it is the biscuit that makes it worth the wait?
