    Found this after a “breakfast” search on Maps and will say it was worth taking the chance. While the interior looks a bit unmaintained the food was really good, specially the french toast and biscuits/gravy (which were huge). The service could improve, while it was busy they were fast with serving the food but not very welcoming. At the end of the day, I would definitely come back!

    On my way to Fort Worth.decided to stop in here with high hopes after reading some reviews. It's been awhile since I stopped in a diner. Everything looked old and dated as I would expect. Felt cozy. The staff was friendly but seemed very overwhelmed with the amount of tables to take care of. My wife ordered biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns and a cinnamon roll. She received all except the hashbrowns which we had to catch our waiter to remind her. I had a combo which contained eggs biscuits and gravy,hashbrowns and I chose a country fried steak. Everything was luke warm to cold. Wasn't alot of flavor. Honestly the best item I had was the biscuits. The biscuits are what you want to get from here. Solid. Everything else was just decent. It didn't help to have cold hashbrowns and cold eggs. As someone who has served tables I'm pretty sure my food sat in a serving window for awhile. For all those allergic to pecans note that the cinnamon roll has pecans in it. I'm glad my wife checks her food thoroughly before consuming because she would have had an anaphylactic reaction.

    My husband and I stopped in for a late lunch on a Monday afternoon. I was surprised by how many people were there for such a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Our server was friendly and the food was good, nothing super special. I don’t exactly think they’re going for mind-blowing dishes. As we were finishing our meal, we were offered a free slice of pie since they close at 2:30pm so that was a nice treat (on top of the banana pudding we already ordered). Would definitely go back to try more of their desserts and breakfast/lunch staples!

    If you like old style diners that serve home style food, this is the place for you. The customer service is amazing. You get 3 sides with your lunch specials, and the food came out within 5 minutes. We went at 11:45 middle of lunch and no problem getting in, ordering and leaving within an hour. Food was served hot and was very good. Will go back for lunch again next week.

    Sweet staff and the best place for a quick breakfast. It’s TX comfort food! Always seated with fast service and I never know what to order bc everything looks so good. My boyfriend loves the chicken fried chicken breakfast. The cinnamon role is delicious and so is the bacon! The photos and sayings on the wall make me laugh every time. I will definitely take friends here when they visit me, as this is what I think of when I hear “Texas Diner.”

    Visiting from Memphis and we stumbled across this gem. Southern home cooked food that is delicious! Service is fast and the staff is friendly. I will definitely be back here again! The steak and eggs were good. The sweet tea was really good!

    I was in a hurry this morning for an appointment. I did my best to try to enjoy my food. But Miss Ashley was a delight! She did answer her leg or foot, so it's going to take some time to heal, but be patient with her. What I really love is that you weren't picky about where you can take a seat. You are allowed to sit wherever you like. The lady who owned it unfortunately passed away 10 years ago, but their granddaughter and daughters are highly involved in the business. And I do come by on and off. I can't wait to get back and try the pies, which I heard was so delicious. I think I found another favorite eating place! Everything looked great, and my blueberry pancakes actually had a lot of blueberries in it, not just three of them, LOL. So if you don't eat all your food, expect to take a doggy bag home.

    Today, while I was waiting for my car to be serviced, I decided that since I had a couple hours to spend, I would have some lunch. I popped over to this lovely quaint diner. I'm here to tell you that their roast beef was out of this world. My entree was served with three generous sides and corn bread. I was thinking the food would take at least a few minutes to be delivered to my table, but it came straight out! No waiting at all! Delicious and piping hot. The service was impeccable as well. Romelia was very pleasant.

    One of the best places to visit if your in Dallas to give you a down home dining experience. Both breakfast and lunch options are great choices. My waitress customer service was spot on from beginning to end, very nice overall. Food arrived 7 minutes from ordering. Hot and fresh chicken fried chicken smothered with gravy. Breakfast is always good. Parking space is small. All employees seem to be happy working there and it shows with great service.

    This is the best diner google recommended me so far. Located in suburb Downtown Dallas and the place looking like a rundown 60’s diner let me tell you it’s far from it once you get inside. Inside you’re greeted with a family atmosphere and very warm greeting. You get to sit yourself and take in all the warm family photos of the restaurant and mama said lines scattered all around the ceiling. Service is fairly quick and very friendly. The options on the menu should read portions are large because the meals definitely will fill you up and it’s cooked to order. Everything is prepared fresh and hot and delicious; filling every taste bud with mamas home cooked meals. The price for two people is mind blowing awesome. For two I spent no more than $30 including tip on both occasions and I feel like I should tip more for what they offer and how amazing the service and food is!! Definitely recommend coming here and giving this place a try you won’t regret it and you can’t use the excuse it’s a long wait!!

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food (the chicken & dressing, Yummy!!😋) We came during a Sunday busy lunch time but everyone who worked there was really nice and helpful. Sarah was our server- friendly, funny and helpful. We plan to come back soon!

    Mama's Daughters' Diner is a cute little mom and pop cafe that is great for a traditional breakfast. This place does get pretty busy on the weekends, but the service is fast and we haven't had to wait too long for a table. We have only eaten breakfast here, but it is a great meal! The portions are standard for breakfast and the prices are reasonable. We do not eat breakfast meat and while they do not allow substitutions on breakfast specials 1-4, I was able to order a special without meat for the same price. The biscuits appear homemade, and the gravy is creamy. I did have an issue with a hair being found in my food, but I brought this up to the waitress who apologized and had my food remade. Definitely will eat here again!

    No frills diner. The best thing about this place was the busboy. He was very friendly and made us feel at home. Our server, checked in on us once and seemed bothered when we asked for napkins. The food was ok but there wasn't anything special about it. Probably wouldn't come back next time we're in town.

    This is our go to spot for a warm homestyle breakfast! I live less than 5 minutes away and it’s super convenient for me to stop for a quick bite or have it delivered on my lazy days. I always get the #2 w/French toast and Turkey sausage and add a side a hash browns. My partner gets the chicken fried steak and a waffle for dessert. This truly is a hidden gem!

    This is a great mom n pops diner. Came here for breakfast with my daughter, and we loved it! The food is great, and it was brought out quickly and hot. It was flavorful and delicious. The pies for dessert were great too!
