Running low in energy after a day of perhaps frolicking and showing tourist friends or relatives of yours in the city? If you took them to Lombard, Fisherman's Wharf or say Coit Tower, and everyone is famished, take them out to Mama's for a hearty breakfast or brunch!
Store Hours
Located at the formerly Bohemian part of the city, this quaint breakfast spot at North Beach offers just about your traditional American breakfast favorites. This family restaurant is open everyday from 8-3pm except Mondays. Expect long lines and wait time of 30 mins to an hour since this place is rather small, but is an equally popular go-to place for tourists alike. It was even featured at the top of TIME magazine's list of 10 Things to Do in San Francisco - to get breakfast at Mama's. However, if you do go an hour before they close, there's absolutely no wait time at all.
Customers' Picks
Mama's on Washington Square boasts of its Monte Cristo and their Sampler French Toast. The M'omlettes and egg benedicts are popular as well. On weekends, they have specials like the Dungeness Crab Benedict and Dungeness Crab Omelette.
But if it's your first time, you can't go wrong with customers' favorite, Mama's Monte Cristo.
Roasted turkey breast, honey baked ham, cheddar and gruyere cheese battered in egg, grilled and served with homemade jam.
I don't even have words to express how good it is. It's to die for. Maybe not, but you get the picture. It's the bomb. Especially if you graciously dip or spread their homemade raspberry-ish jam (which they actually call the Ollalieberry jam) on the grilled turkey honey baked cheese sandwich!! It'll leave you speechless like I am!
They also sell some of their baked goodies and their homemade jam in their Bake Shop. Call ahead if you want to pre-order something for gifts or cakes on special occasions.
Price
So plan your trip to Mama's now if your craving for a good breakfast or brunch. Just don't go on Mondays! They don't accept credit cards. The entrees are range from $8-15 plus tips for the server so don't forget to bring some cash or your debit card, just in case. You wouldn't want to leave without trying the food at Mama's! It really is worth the wait.
