We went to Mom's Kitchen while staying in Gloucester. I didn't know what to expect when I got there. But I'm so glad we went. My husband had the steak and eggs. He said it was great. I had eggs and split a cinnamon bun with him. Oh. My. GOD. It is truly the best cinnamon bun I've ever had. It's perfect. My only regret is that I didn't get some to take home and freeze. And they were SO friendly. They didn't just make you feel like you were 'regulars', they treat you like you're long lost family.

This is a place that you just have to love, it feels a bit like time travel to a nostalgic diner. All of that was complimented with fast friendly service and good food. Try the cinnamon roll, it was delicious. I left with a full belly and a smile on my face.

We loved this place so much, we’ve eaten there twice on our five nights stay and we’ll probably eat there one or two more times. It is right next to our hotel, which is super convenient. They have a lot of specialty items that are so delicious. I want to try it all. The mom’s special is my favorite so far but the fish cakes (although I didn’t love the traditional Boston style beans served with the fish cakes, I’m still glad I tried them) and biscuits and gravy were really good too. I love the seasoning they put on the potatoes and in the gravy. Everyone around us was raving about the coffee rolls. That might be our next thing we try. Their servers are great and very sweet. I love the adorable hand drawn portrait of “Mom" hanging up in the restaurant.

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast. We shared a table with a gentleman that was there on business. He gave us recommendations for other spots to eat. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. Very busy place even though the weather was really terrible.

Really love this family-owned diner. It’s not common in big cities anymore. The food is as great as the diner food is supposed to be, fresh, yum, and comforting. The service is so friendly, warm and attentive. A great experience and would come back again.

Mom’s Kitchen, Gloucester. Small restaurant with limited seating. Makes up for that by offering big portions, and fresh traditional breakfast. Definitely a locals place. Friendly service, everyone is open to chatting. Really does feel like your in moms kitchen. Nothing fancy here. Had the egg sandwich on a croissant, egg cheese bacon on the and the coffee cake. This hearty meal should hold you till dinner. Fresh fresh! Very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

If you are looking for breakfast options in Gloucester, MA you gotta try Mom’s Kitchen! The crew there is amazing and kind! It’s a tiny place but they manage to accommodate quite a few guests and they’ll take your number and let you know when a table is ready for you. Super nice! The food is great, prepared with love. We tried the French toasts and they are delicious!

This was the most wholesome place!! Definitely have to have the hot mama which is a cinnamon roll turned into a breakfast sandwich and a fried muffin. My friend and I came here from out of state and it really seems like this place is loved by the locals. 10/10 would recommend.

Everything about this place is just phenomenal, from the employees, with their high energy, spunk, and attention, to their amazing high quality food. The hollandaise sauce was to DIE FOR, absolutely delicious and the bacon, pancakes, eggs, just beautifully cooked. Our waitress was the sweetest person with fun energy and good jokes! If I could give yall ten stars I would!
