| - I have a special place in my heart for My Mother's because it was where I broke my 15 year streak of vegetarianism. And I never had any of the alleged gastrointestinal repercussions that I anticipated.
The roast turkey is better than my mom ever made, not that it means much because my mom never cooked. But it's still good. The salad bar is pretty awesome too. It's small, but they manage to fit almost every thing I could possibly want into a four foot long space. And, they have real homeade bleu cheese dressing that tastes like bleu cheese throughout. Not like the crappy version that tastes like ranch with bleu cheese lumps in it.
I had the pizza once and was incredibly underwhelmed. Maybe it's better when you get it at the restaurant and not as take-out, but I'll never try it again. It reminded me of a frozen pizza.
Today, because we're on a mission to find awesome wings, ordered some wings as our appetizer. Our entrees came out before our appetizer. But when we told the waiter they immediately put them in to cook to our specifications. Then they didn't charge us for it. Nice! Bad service? No, just an honest mistake that they immediately corrected.
The wings however were not that good. They were cooked crispy like we like it and the sauce had the right ingredients, but the ratio of butter:vinegar:heat was off. Too much butter! I felt like I was eating wings in cream sauce it was so buttery. It coated my mouth with an oily gunk for far too long. Maybe I wouldn't have noticed if it actually came as an appetizer.
I still love My Mother's, particularly for the stuff that my mother should have made: turkey, chicken, meat loaf, turkey pot pie, etc. But I would stay away from the wings and pizza.
