Mamas Kitchen

This is your typical diner with typical diner fare but man was the food delicious. I ordered a veggie omelette with home fries and rye toast. It didn’t make me feel gross afterwards like a lot of diners can do.

Great atmosphere and family friendly. we were traveling from out of state and happened to bump into this humble mom and pop restaurant. Fast service and great prices. you won’t be disappointed.

We love mamas! Service friendly & so fast! Food is consistently great!!!
Great place to go w kids of all ages!!!
& always festive

we arrived and it was extremely busy. so we had to wait but they were super fast getting us seated. you could see the severs were very busy but still were very welcoming and still managed to give us plenty of attention. the food was good especially for how fast it came out. nice atmosphere good food what more could u ask for? will defiantly be going back

Servers and service were fine but the food was not impressive at all. My omelette looked like it had been ironed it was so flat. It was very bland.
Was expecting some good tasting food from Mana’s but was definitely disappointed.

Left Tampa for 3 years came back and the food is just as good. They run a tight ship service is always excellent

A true diamond in the rough! We stopped in for dinner and were surprised to find the restaurant was nearly empty, which didn’t bode well, but in fact the food was delicious! I had the spaghetti and meatballs, which was awesome, with fresh sauce and homemade meatballs! The soup was seriously on another level, cream of broccoli was seriously the best I’ve ever had! This place may not shine, but it is true at its heart, with good food, fast service and a local attitude. Reminds me of the restaurant Kermit goes to work at in «Muppets Take Mannhattan»! Right down to the Owner!

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Even better prices with large portions. You cannot go wrong here. Only grip, it’s always busy. But they turn tables quickly.

Good food. Fast. Incredibly friendly staff. Good with kids. I have been here once a week since the first time I visited. Highly recommend.

Great cheap eats in S. Tampa. If you’re in the market for no frills diner food, as I was, this’ll do the job

Delicious home style breakfast. I loved the Greek omelette and French toast! Service was fast and my coffee was always hot.

Went here with some friends after a day filled with drinking. The corned beef hash is perfect, not too salty and just the right amount of hangover cure. If you have a sweet tooth in the morning they have great french toast. If they had fresh squeezed OJ they would be at 5 stars. Overall the experience was great good service, not a long wait, and delicious food. I would definitely recommend this spot to a friend for a good wholesome breakfast.

Mama’s kitchen is AMAZING. Quaint little diner, with great food, and great service. Their portions are hearty, prices perfect. They always have breakfast and dinner specials, so you can try something different every time.
I love their pancakes and pies! You must take a slice home. You can even call in your order for pickup.

Stopped in for breakfast while my nephews were visiting. The staff was very nice and service was fast. They offer traditional breakfast options with large portions and good prices. My nephews had chocolate chip pancakes (special of the day), a Greek omelet and the 2 egg special. Everything was delicious, we even shared a pancake which was nice and fluffy. Coffee was nicely refilled without asking, yay!
The restaurant has a nice home feeling. I will definitely be stopping by again soon!

How on earth is this place number 2? Food is very bland. I had the biscuit and gravy with hash browns. The biscuit was NOT fresh and hard as a rock. The gravy obviously came out of a can and the hash browns tasted like the freezer. My husband had the omlette which he said was very tasty with the home fries. The home fries were tasteless, not even the hot sauce helped.
The only possible way this place is number 2 is because there is no other resturants around. Very disappointed!

I love breakfast food and I’m so glad I was not disappointed here. I ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon. The French toast was delicious and perfectly cooked. Decent prices for an awesome breakfast. Now the only downside of eating here, it is tiny inside. There isn’t a lot of seating. If you come during the weekend your most likely looking at waiting for a table. The bathroom is also outside of the restaurant. Definitely would come back for some homemade breakfast.

We were in the area looking for the highest Unilocal ratings. We were led to Mama’s Kitchen! Great place for food and friendly people. We ordered the original omelette and hash browns. Kids ordered pancakes. Coffee was made. All the food was eaten. I was waiting for a kicker to give this place 4 – 5 stars but it never came. Maybe if l had ordered hot sauce it would have bumped it up. The décor of lions, Eagles, and Bin Laudin was entertaining.

Drove here by chance looking for breakfast. Highly recommend Mamas. traditional American breakfast, real food, good portions. eggs, meat, breakfast potatoes, toast all for about $ 6
Great food, great service, great price. Will return

A contractor highly recommended this place and decided to take him on his offer to go there for lunch. This quaint place felt like a regular diner owned by a mom and pop outfit. Apparently there are 3 locations, one in Seminole, one outside MacDill AFB and not sure of the last location.
The chicken pot pie was supposedly awesome and huge for $ 8 as seen on the picture. It was a lasagna type dish with the crust overflowing above it.
The lamb shank for $ 9.99 was the cheapest I have ever seen and it fell off the bone. The gravy it was smothered in united the flavors in perfect harmony. On a bed of rice and mixed vegetables, I felt like I was eating a healthy meal, but as we all know, gravy is never healthy. I caught myself picking up the bone and chewing/​gnawing on all the available meat… like a savage beast, but I couldn’t put it down… Oh so yummy.
They didn’t have sweet tea, but the lemonade/​tea combo, per the waitress’s suggestion was worth it. I wont say this is the cleanest place, but I think I found the place for hearty lunch close to work and affordable.

A decent small mom and pops diner with parking plenty of seating inside of the restaurant. They have different cold drinks, coffee, milk, unsweet tea. Many different kinds of food you can order off the menu. Also they do allow smoking right outside of the door just in case you want to grab a quick smoke if you are non smoker keep in mind when someone comes in and out of the door you can smell the heavy smoke from customers smoking outside.
I had the white clam chowder which was delicious some what warm but manageable abled to eat it down with some crackers and sipping on some Pepsi! When my parents got there it was busy from the people coming from the AFB and other places.
Only draw back becareful about using the sugar container for coffee or something else I saw a customer eating out of the sugar container and throwing a dirty napkin in the container which was really nasty and the lady waitress just took the napkin out and didn’t pick up the container to take it to the back to wash it.
This is my families first time here to this place we liked it since it was very close to the AFB. Keep in mind it’s close to the base, Subway and some other businesses next to here.
