Mama's on Washington Square, San Francisco

Sweet? Spicy? anything but ordinary. It's not the average, way above. No wonder it's a long wait to get in, and worth every minute. It's a vacation type breakfast, big and wonderful meal. Anyone who says they'd rather make their own breakfast should stay at home. Can't wait to visit SF again, and hope I can bring a friend.

We went in April 2010. I read the previous reviews and was extremely excited about trying out a different restaurant in SF. The wait wasn't too bad. Although my Niece thought it was too long. Ordering is confusing if you haven't eaten there before. The food was okay. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worse. We had the 2 egg with ham - Okay; Crab omelete with swiss cheese - Good (Very Pricey); French toast (Just because we had to taste em) - Okay... The prices were very high! Service was okay! I guess I am a little spoiled, because I prefer to eat at home and make my own breakfasts, which includes omelete and/or french toast.. I dont know that I would ever return or just try out one of the many awesome restaurants. As I said, it was just okay! The potatoes were burnt, the jam was good. Sour dough toast was very Hard.

Worth the wait, but bring your newspaper if you're trying to get breakfast on the weekend!

can the best restaurant in the city be a breakfast place? Soothing in spite of the lines. Amazing food.Ultra-friendly staff.

The food is good but not the best and not worth the wait

A crowded institution.

most delicious eggs benedict, can easily have breakfest for lunch or dinner.

I try to overlook the rush, but it's very difficult. The novelty is wearing off, let's find something without the pressure to eat and run. I tried again and even on a rainy day the line was half a block long! Ridiculous to wait for breakfast for an hour..there are so many options elsewhere. Boulange is a couple of blocks away, go there instead

The food isn't to die for but the waiting in line is. I guess the wait makes you appreciate the food and drinks more. The interior was nice and bright and cosy but the walking space was really limited and people were bunched up at the counter after ordering as there was confusion over the seating location.

Earlier the better but do not miss out even if you have to wait in the line trailing out the door. Eggs any style with any and everything delicious. Has to be 30 omelette choices. Do try one of the specialty breads with your coffee. Skip lunch.
