Mama's on 39 Review

This place is always hopping on Sundays. They have great drink specials and their breakfast is pretty good. Their French Toast is amazing and kind of unique. They use thick cut Hawaiian Bread and it s full of flavor. Where the fail is with their sausage patties and sometimes the eggs. They CONSISTENTLY arrive cold especially the sausage patties. It s sad really because the sausage patties are really tasty with a nice spice to them. You can see how cold the eggs are in the picture cause the cheese is already pretty solid again. Mentioned this at least once to management but they haven t figured out how to resolve in the long term apparently.

Went here for brunch on Father's day without a reservation. Had no issues finding high table seats in the bar area which is first come first served. The drinks are great, but be warned that the bloody Mary is massive and difficult to get through! I highly recommend the frose for a hot day though. Food portions are large, so you won't go hungry and the appetizers are awesome (try the different variations of loaded tots). Prices are on the higher side for brunch, but still reasonable considering the area. Drink prices are actually pretty good, most of the mixed drinks are around 8.50.

Will be back.

Food was cold. Service was horrible and the place was empty. Much better options in HB

The food was good but it just wasn't my style know what I mean. The never ending champagne and oj was the best portions were huge wear your big pants or be ready to take leftovers home.

Awesome! Food is great, staff is awesome, they support local charities and the community , and you can get a Thrifty Ice Cream!

I am a BLT person and enjoy Mama's. It is a bit on the noisy side, but oh that BLT.

Food was good portions were huge unfortunately so is the price, otherwise very good restaurant.

Always good food morning noon and night and they have ice cream can't beat that Mama's on 39th that's where it's at

The food is pretty good, but the service is pretty slow. the Crowds Are obnoxious! If you think you're going to come here on a weekend for breakfast or brunch, think again! I'm so sick of this place and they're stupid 2 hour waiting list. I mean, it's not THAT good. the problem is, that this restaurant is too popular for its own good. They let large parties of 6 to 10 hog up the entire patio and or dining room, and allow them to sit there for 2 to 3 hours while they indulge on bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys. if you're going to offer bottomless mimosas, you should also impose a 2-hour dining max. this is not a nightclub. This is not bottle service where you pay $500 and get to sit there at your very own table for as long as you want. I don't understand why the restaurant allows this?! It's so aggravating. Only time to eat breakfast here on a weekend is between the hours of 1 and 4.

Great comfort food at a great price. Worth the wait if you show up during peak hours or, dare I say it, on holiday's. Friendly staff and dog friendly patio. Make sure to take advantage of their bottomless mimosas.

Good local spot, but usually crowded and parking is wonky. As long as you're careful walking to and from your car in the parking lot I'd say you should give it a try.

I've never eaten here. Never been to southern California, but so what! Judging solely off the pics of the food this place is amazing! Maybe I'll get to enjoy it some day.

Biscuits and Bacon Gravy... biscuits tasted a bit burnt. It would have tasted so much better with sausage but this had a twist to it. The waitress was awesome!

Was in cali for vacation from az. Stopped here at mama's 39 to start our week and I really shouldn't be surprised when the coffee just had a weird after taste that I should have just ran for the door. When our server came to us he was very nice and polite but we ordered our food then waited... waited...waited thank goodness we didn't need to leave in any kinda rush. About 30 to 40mins we waited. We received mine breakfast something with Hawaiian rolls ham cheese and sausage everything I love. My husband got the philly cheese steak thing. And we both tried our food and I went um. Weird. Some kinda after taste deconstructing the food the sausage was a cheap over good burnt meat
And the his steak same thing. I would not recommend this place. Clean the stove or get better choice of meat. Spending 40 dollars on 2 cups of coffee and 2 mediocre meals.

The breakfasts here are so yummy and delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

The food was So GOOD and our server was very polite and helpful. If you're ever in the Huntington Beach area, you need to stop in. The desserts names are crazy. Going to bring my husband next time I have to come this way.

First visit courtesy of my son and grandsons. Great breakfast menu, the food was excellent and they have a full bar with daily specials on cocktails. will definitely be going back

We went to MAMA'S 39 for my wife's 39th birthday... Seemed fitting. Great place for a variety of occasions. A very "home like" feel. The staff is great and the food is epic. You won't leave unhappy.

They give you so much food and the service was awesome!

My favorite brunch place. The breakfast menu is phenomenal and comes with a very wide range of meat eater and vegan friendly options. The bloody mary is GIGANTIC and delicious!

I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it was very good. It was more portionwise than I pictured it would be.

My order was wrong when i went to pick it up. When i explained what i had ordered they supposedly fixed it and gave me what i ordered to go, however when i got home the order was missing some of what is supposed to come on the plate. Not happy

This has to be worst food ever!!! Watered down blue cheese dressing. Brown wedge salad. As a nurse working 14 he days I hate being charged 87$ to pick up food for my family and find it this poor and over priced. Will never be back!

I love Mama's! Great service, great food, big portions and fantastic mai tais

Great local restaurant with a wide array of food. Great service and food makes this an easy choice. Highly recommend.

This is a busy, buzzy, slightly noisy restaurant with a eclectic and slightly off-beat menu. Our food was delicious!

Great service, food was pretty good. Menu though to me is too big.

The service was good, the food was over priced and not good. Too bad because I was hoping for more. Will not go back.

I was stuck in Huntington Beach and very hungry. Mama's on 39 popped up on the maps, it was close by and didn't look terrible. We took the plunge. Decent tap list, big comfortable tables, and the food is pretty good!

Although the menu changed in the opening months as Mama's ironed out the wrinkles, we've been very happy with the food and service here. ALL of the burgers are worth trying, and even sandwiches I don't normally eat (tuna melt) are great. You'll never go wrong with any the of the breakfast dishes. Clear favorite appetitzers are street tacos and chicken sliders eaten in the inviting semi-circular bar (wish there was a few more tables)... and Thrifty ice cream is a nice finishing touch (love the walk up window).

To expansive for the money. Jesse was very nice. Waitress was not very good. Didn't recieve a tip, because of poor service, never once did this waitress ask for more coffee, also she didn't leave a pin so we could give her a tip. Food was so so, the question is, would we come again? Answer is a hardy NO!

It's a busy place at 11am on Sunday. Chicken and waffles where good, but nothing special. I'll give them another try.

The place is crowded and the kebrrrrrrrrr meals are mean don't mean to order. The prices are kinda expensive .. The inconvenience I recommend I recommend you spend your head

Great sandwiches and endless fries. Very friendly staff but they need to watch out for the drunk construction workers that cuss and sit at the bar and make fools of themselves during happy hour hours.

Breakfast burrito with Korean Beef was delicious as was the Bloody Mary.

Great Food, Big Portions. Only problem is deciding what to try!

Seated right away in bar tables. Good service and drinks

Food for all and huge portions. If no one in your party can agree go to Mama's on 39

Good vibes and large portions. Definitely recommend this to any breakfast lover who's around HB

Wow!!! This place is amazing and customer service beyond you feel at Mamas kitchen.

Had the chicken and waffle and the avocado toast. Everything amazing the only thing was the arugula in the toast plate was drenched in balsamic . A light drizzle would have been good . Other then that it was amazing.

Was at the restaurant this morning for the World Cup final they opened up late and the sound wasn t on very disappointed. I left and they lost a customer for good. Most restaurants in orange county do not have the concept of the world cup. Old world restaurant can teach all how to do it Bernie B. Is managing very well and if he were to reveal how much the place has made in just the last 3 weeks? All bar and food venues would follow their lead

Crowded on Sundays but awesome food and great drinks

Great ice cream. Reminds me of my childhood. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was crispy and the waffles were fluffy. I enjoyed it!

I've never eaten anything here that isn't good, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere manages to be both fun and family friendly. Love it!

Delicious food and good service on a not so busy time

I've been to both this Mama's location as well as the one in Los Alamitos. This location is much bigger. Both locations have easy parking and share the same menu for the most part. The Los Alamitos location was a former pizza restaurant so I believe that location has pizza options as well. Mama's is straight up comfort food done great. I've had chicken and waffles, burgers, and the grilled cheese. All were very very good. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

Great atmosphere, really good food. Good service, kind of loud when it gets busy.

My family experience great service and delicious eats. I recommend the impossible tots.

The server was nice. The coffee was not good, even after getting a new cup ($3.25). Breakfast for two (two egg dishes, two coffee, one pancake) was $50 with 18% tip. A little steep even for HB / NB prices.

Food is great! Service is the best and our favorite staff member is "Name Tag".it's a fun place for kids and families. Thursday nights you can get free balloons.

Good food, a bunch of different options on the menu for any type of eater. TVs for sports live music, and good cocktails. Come back here all the time with the family and friends.

Good food but a little on pricy side for the portion size. Pretty Good service

This is a must hit spot. Food was very good and will be coming back. Very cool atmosphere.

Aggressive marketing- they say $10 off at checkout for first order then turns out that is not the case, you hv to wait 24-72 hours n an email to get $10 off. Additionally, they cannot cancel orders!

Excellent place to have a group party. Enjoyed the pulled pork sandwiches, veggies, and salad.

Bad service if you are not white (racism with smile)

Treated a soccer team of 6 year olds very well. Good service.

Just shared an incredible breakfast with the wife. I had the Philly Hash and she had Mama s French Toast. Both were incredible. All the breakfast dishes on the table next to us looked amazing too. We need to come back and try the lunch next!

Omg they ve got the best and I do mean the best as fact not opinion chicken strips you ll ever eat along with they re super special super secret recipe bbq sauce ( I m only assuming it s a secret because it s so tasty) Do yourselves a favor and pick some up, in fact get two orders trust me you ll regret it. Don t get me wrong, not because the portion is small. Just do it.

A fun, tasty dining experience in a surf & family themed setting. American food with the rare chance of Thrifty's brand ice creams for desert! The staff was even great! Everyone from the grandparents to the grandkids loved.

Delicious food and we only had to wait about 20 mins for a table at 1 pm. It was Saturday so they had $5 mules. I got the fish tacos which were good and my husband got the pulled pork and macn cheese sandwich.

Great service. Chill vibe. Replaced my waffles after I accidentally ruined them by spilling juice on them.

Had a large party of about 12 people here for brunch at 11am on a Sunday morning. The staff was great and our waitress was awesome. (her name was Cori I think). A few people did bottomless mimosas and they were quick with the refill. The price was a little expensive for the type of food (think classic diner dishes) but the atmoshpere and Location make up for it. For 2 people with coffee, no alcohol, 2 breakfast dishes and a side it was $45 plus a tip.
