Mama's On Washington square

 open 8am-3pm and CLOSED MONDAY

Finally am getting a chance to try this all time favorite breakfast joint that opens up at 8am. Often you gotta be there an hour before to get in fast. 

Mama's is a completely, long time running family breakfast dining bistro. Front of house was run by the brother-in-law and the son of the late Mama's runs the operations.
ABBATip:
Be there either a half hour before doors open to be the first batch in, or arriving at 10mins to opening would result in about an 40min wait (we went on a weekday). Pretty much from our observations arriving at about 930am would have resulted in the same wait time as when we arrived at 750am. Pretty much if you wanna get in for breakfast, arrive early!

Lines often form and from Mama's staff say they often loose about 25% of their customers due to the long wait. Wait times can be 2hrs or more. 

Son on Mama's highlighting the must haves and all time favorites.

Ordered On:

03Aug2017

Monte Cristo
(Ham Cheese sandwich with raspberry sauce)

 *One of the must have, but according to Mama's regular, today's batch honestly lacked luster and wasn't really hitting the spot. However, the Raspberry sauce that goes with the ham and cheese toast is amazing!*

Corn Beef Hash (another popular staple)

 *The eggs Benedict portion is a given pass. The corn beef hash is one of the better ones had. Another popular place that's known for Corn Beef hash is at Taylor Street Coffee shop, yet to be reviewd*

Chocolate French Toast

 *A good french toast. Bread is nice and thick and with sweet fresh fruit.*

Crab Cakes Eggs Bennedict

*The crab cakes got a little over powered by the eggs Benedict. Its nice but the crab flavors aren't the main star.*

Buttermilk fluffy old style pancakes

*By far the best pan cakes had! Realllllllyyy fluffffyyy with a hint of crust on the outside. Super light, fresh and that amazing morning pancake smell come wafting in. A must order!*Northern Italian Omelet

 *Pretty good mushroom and cheese stuffed omelet. A decent order with the albeit slightly too salty ham on the side.*

Total fed 6 at 21USD Each (excluding tip)

Portion wise, unlike many American diners, each one having a main with drinks works out to a hearty breakfast! Its not too much and their portions are decent. With the overall pricing, was found to more value for money over Sear's Fine Foods. Mama's definitely beats sear's pan cakes. 

Overall some dishes were really home runs and some in good standing. Fresh and really homely. Personally the standout here was the pan cakes. Further more its a short walk to the Pier39 and 45 so a great way to start out the day before hitting San Francisco attractions.

Vote for overall dining experience and breakfast still goes to the Cliff House.
