Description

Mama’s Kitchen in Sommerville dishes up generous, home-cooked Southern comfort—huge pancakes, hand-battered chicken-fried steak and biscuits-and-gravy—at wallet-friendly prices. The warm, homey decor, clean dining room, terrace and dog-friendly outdoor seating make it a pleasant small‑town stop. While many praise friendly service and large portions, others report inconsistent sides, occasional rudeness from staff, misleading menu names and even rare food-safety concerns. A worthwhile detour for hearty breakfasts and diner classics if you temper expectations for consistency.

My husband and I shared the stuffed hamburger steak. We both left stuffed. Everything was great, food was fresh, mashed potatoes were homemade. Servers were friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Great Chicken Fried Steak, homemade mashed potatoes, great cheeseburger with. Jalapeño cheddar bun and thick cut bacon, mmmm very tasty. The onion rings were homemade too! But the very best part was the cheesecake, guess what? Homemade too. Highly rated. Would recommend again.

My husband had the large chicken fried steak, he said it was really good but it was so big he couldn’t eat it all, it was basically 2 chicken fried steaks. I had the stuffed crab, it was so good. If your a vegetarian they have several options for you, besides just salads, like a veggie burger. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
