Mama Katie's in North Carolina

"Always so pleased when I come here! The knowledge they have about gluten free is really great! I am recently gluten free and they made it so easy! Also the food was delicious! Absolutely amazing! The service is top notch. It's no wonder why they are always busy! Can't wait to go back!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Closest thing to a real diner you’ll find around here.” Mama Katie’s is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to in a long time. It has that perfect blend of homestyle cooking and diner-style comfort that’s hard to find in the Cornelius area. We actually drove out here because there just aren’t any true diners nearby, and it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the Backwoods Benedict — a biscuit with sausage, poached egg, and country gravy on top (you get two of them) — and it was amazing. I also got hash browns with onions and cheese added, and they were cooked perfectly. The French toast was delicious, my girlfriend’s omelet was great, and everything tasted fresh and hearty. The bacon was probably the weakest part of the meal (about a 6.5/10), but it was still decent. Everything else was easily an 8–9/10. The portions are generous — one of those meals where you clean your plate and then want to go home and nap. The service was friendly and attentive, about an 8/10, and the overall experience was easily a solid 9/10. Prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we got. The outside doesn’t look like much (it’s in what looks like an office-style building), so don’t let that fool you. Once you’re inside, the food and atmosphere definitely give you that family-style, diner feel. If you’re looking for hearty, delicious breakfast food that feels like home, Mama Katie’s is the place. We’ll definitely be coming back, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants that diner-style comfort without having to drive too far."

"Best French Toast near Lake Norman. Warm and cozy family owned restaurant. Great vibe, tasty food, good value. First time here. Can’t wait to come back!"

"The service was great! I love local family restaurants and the classic foods. You definitely have to try the chicken salad sandwich."

"My ham and cheese omelette was really good. The service was great. Comfort food done well. Will be back to try more menu items."

"If you're searching for a local eatery that offers delicious food at very reasonable prices, your search ends here. This place is excellent, the service is great, and it is a family-owned business. Just be prepared to be a little patient, as it tends to get busy due to its popularity. However, you won’t regret waiting a few extra minutes."

"Prices are CHEAP! They have a great sanitation rating of 99.5% Food was outstanding. Our new breakfast joint! Breakfast all day!"

"The food was good. The pancake was so delicious! The restaurant is super cute inside. They were really busy when I went and the food was great so it makes sense. They have outside seating if all the inside waiting area is full. Menu prices have been updated with a slight rise so the menu in the reviews is not 100% accurate. I got a basic breakfast but I look forward to coming again to try something different."
