Mama's Boy at The Falls of Oconee

Very nice experience, really didn't expect something like that.
Cappuccino amazing,service is super nice and kind people.
Atmosphere very friendly and familiar.
The river complete the atmosphere.
Thank you for having us there.

This is now our go to spot when we visit Athens. We have never had a long wait and the parking is spacious. Quick, friendly service. Food is well prepared and delicious. This go around we had the banana bread for a starter. It was hot and gone before I could get a good picture. my son had half stack of pancakes and bacon and had no complaints. I had the mill town breakfast plate with over-easy eggs, grits, bacon sourdough toast. I also got a side of the jalapeño bacon jam. Yum. Husband had the farm and said it was good he likes the gravy.

What an experience! Our daughter is a UGA student and recommend we meet at Mama’s Boy at the Falls for a late breakfast/early lunch. Boy was she right! The service and food was wonderful! We all 3 shared a cinnamon roll as an appetizer and had some left! My husband had the Mill Town Breakfast plate and thoroughly enjoyed every bite! My daughter had the Chocolate Cake for Breakfast and was thrilled to have dessert for breakfast! She had some left to take home. I had the Chocolate Chip Pancakes and they were amazing as well! You should give them a visit! We will definitely be back!

Wow! Wow! High quality food with unique flavors. The Peach French Toast was astounding. And the Sausage Hash Bowl had savory flavors. The place was packed with customers which was a healthy sign of quality food.

We had been to the original Mama's Boy restaurant several times over the past 4 years, but this was our first time at the Macon Highway location. Despite a 1 hour wait due to the graduation crowd, it was well worth it. We started out with the banana bread and goat cheese appetizers. Both were excellent. For our main dishes I got the pulled pork bowl (the photos show everyone's dishes), which was great! I'm not a big biscuit fan, but these are hands down the best I've ever had and I always look forward to them. Considering the huge crowd they had to serve, the staff was efficient, friendly, and attentive. I almost wish our son was not graduating so we could come back. 😉

Where do I begin?! Mamas Boy has been an Athens, and personal, favorite for years. My friends, family and I were thrilled to see a second location open at The Falls with more seating, easier parking, and aesthetic views of the river. The food is out of this WORLD and the portions are generous. Everyone knows about the amazing breakfast but few know that their menu has lunch options as well. The coffee is fresh, atmosphere is perfect, and the staff delivers top of the line customer service time after time. The only “downside” is that there is generally a sizable wait time to get a table, but it is WELL worth the wait, trust me on that! Pictured is my favorite, the salmon cakes Benedict, as well as the scrambler and “the farm” biscuit!

Quick service, great food, great views and awesome customer service! My husband got the burger with Pimento cheese. Perfectly cooked, great flavor and fries were great! I got a fried chicken, cheese and egg biscuit. Flavors were great as well--make sure to add a little of their house made jam! Only complaint, the biscuit completely fell apart and I had to eat with a knife and fork. But the texture and flavor was still there! If we weren't just passing through we would be back!

The team and food at Mama's Boy were both great. With the impact of distancing and limited capacity, obviously things are less than ideal...but the staff is doing a great job keeping patrons (and themselves) safe with very minimal overall impact.

The knuckle sandwich and pork tacos were awesome. Not pictured was a side of sourdough toast and mango jam...don't miss either of them.

The entire team is pulling together to serve meals and attend to needs. We can't wait to visit again and try the biscuits and gravy.

Breakfast items... Just give me a good chicken egg and cheese biscuit and french toast and I'm all there for it.

I've been exploring the Athens area lately and I wanted to give @mamasboyathens a try because they have chicken biscuits and french toast.

I ordered THE FARM which is a FRIED CHICKEN, CHEDDAR CHEESE, OVER MEDIUM EGG, BACON & TOMATO BISCUIT. I also ordered their GEORGIA PEACH FRENCH TOAST (half order option) because again... Two favorite breakfast items, can't leave without trying them both. After I ordered the young lady asked me "is this your first time here?? Because those are our two most popular items!" 🤣 They were both amazing and the biscuit didn't fall apart, which is a must for me.

Parking here is not chaotic like the rest of Athens, and there was plenty of space with available tables to be able to relax over some good breakfast. You order your food when you first come in, you get a number and sit wherever you want, then you receive regular table service. Everyone was super friendly and the food was fresh and came out fairly quickly.

They also have lunch sandwiches and burgers so I'll be stopping by again soon for a quick lunch to see if they are just as good 🤤 Check this place out if you're around the Athens area and looking for a delicious breakfast place!!

Such a great brunch place and the biscuits are easily the best part of every menu item here! 10/10 atmosphere, just be prepared for the long waits

I stopped in at Mama’s Boy at The Falls in Oconee County to grab a bite to eat on my way home. I was pretty hungry and it’s been a long time since I went out to eat so I decided what the heck. I didn’t want to go to Waffle House or someplace like that that. They don’t really have any healthy options. So I got out my phone and look for restaurants near me. I should’ve known that Mama’s Boy was the closest place that served a good breakfast. So that’s where I went. I got there early before 8 o’clock and was happy to see that it wasn’t too crowded. There were several people already waiting but I got served pretty quickly. I did notice when I got ready to leave that they were much busier. There were probably 20 people outside the door waiting for a table. I guess i got there at just the right time.
I chose a table outside so I could be in the sunshine, but when I got out there it was pretty chilly. Luckily within a few minutes the sun popped up over the trees, hit me in the back and I was toasty warm.
I ordered the vegetable scrambler with cheese grits, sourdough toast and coffee. I didn’t eat much of the toast; I’m not really a bread person anyway. It was OK. The veggie scrambler was to die for (does anyone still say that?) The onions were crunchy but well cooked. They had that little white crumbly cheese on top; I have no idea what that is but it’s yummy. The cheese grits… mmmmm, don’t get me started! They were so good but I love cheese grits anyway so they would have to be pretty bad for me not to love love love them. The coffee was really good too - hot, fresh and just strong enough for me. They serve real half-and-half in a little pitcher. Too cute!!
They also have bamboo straws. I love straws but I don’t want to use plastic ones. I have what I call a drinking problem; whenever I drink something out of a glass I managed to dribble (pour) it down my front.
They had this weird little thing sitting on the table. It was shaped like a vase with a little flexible propeller on top. I asked the server about it. She said she had no idea and I’m like… You work here!! How do you not know what this is? Anyway I picked it up and found a switch on the bottom. When I turned it on the little propeller started spinning around. I set the thing on the table and watched it spin. Honestly, it looked pretty silly.
I decided it was a fly runner-offer. I’ve never seen one of those before but I thought it was a great idea. I included a video of it with this review.
Mama‘s Boy is one of my favorite restaurants and I highly recommend everything they serve. You won’t be disappointed!

Every good thing you’ve ever heard about the biscuit is true. Very good, soft, and moist. Also got Half leach French toast + 2 fried eggs + grapefruit + caramel iced coffee with almond milk. It was all delicious.

Sumptuously fulfilled my two-year long craving for contemporary Southern cuisine. Everyone staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. They were attentive and served us with excellence. The food was not only pleasing to the eye but was also a symphony of taste. Great location too!

Good i stopped while just driving by inthe area... what a great name as well... the food was absolutely delicious, and fresh. It came out so quick too. It was a very busy restaurant but surprisingly i was sat quick. The staff does an amazing job working together & making sure all tables are good. Very fast and friendly service. Clean too. My dish was superb! Really enjoyed it and very filling.

Nice staff and dining area. This is my first time in this location. You can have a reservation for your party as opposed to the other location where you can't. The menu can be keto friendly, find the right option and ask for possible substitutions. I got egg whites, spring greens, bacon and sausage. It did have cranberries in it. I took them out. Great coffee. Portion sizes are good. Recommend it.

Always a long line at Mama's Boys for a reason obviously. Great place to swing in and have a wonderful breakfast. We got the Georgia Peach French toast as well as the food court potato hash. Mamas boys Never disappoints

Food is good, fair price! Nice staff

We rented the space for a Mama's Boy catered Dawg tailgate-themed rehearsal dinner. It was perfection. Cooper, the event planner, was amazing from Day 1 until the very end. She should teach classes on customer service. She and the amazing catering team set up the space exactly as I envisioned. The appetizers and the Southern Supper meal were absolutely delicious. Our one vegan attendee had her own special meal and dessert. Mama's Boy went above and beyond!

Breakfast is amazing!! Had the vegetable and Egg Scrambler and a Salmon Cake. The biscuits are huge and yummy. Went there on a Saturday morning around 11 am and had about a 30 min wait. Go visit the olive basket while you wait.

Our employer provided breakfast from Mama's Boy. It was a really nice meal with large biscuits, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, grits, sausage, and bacon. It was a real treat.
