Mama's on Washington Square

Busy breakfast spot , had to wait for ~40 mins on Tuesday morning. Service was good, the signature Monte Cristo sandwich did not disappoint me, it was tasteful! Good selection of delicious cakes too!

This place is the shit! ???? You'll be waiting in line at least 30 min but I'm pretty sure you will love the breakfast there! I ordered black coffee ☕ with Mix Bury Pancake and Crab Poached Eggs ????????

the line . it's serious. pictured here, figure a half block, took about 1hr 15m. it was kinda fun. met nice people. I just wish the good was the best of ever had. it wasn't. good not perfect

Monte Cristo was the most amazing French toast I've ever tasted. Italian Omelette was incredible as well . Lemonade is a refreshing complement to the heavy food. Worth the queue.

The pan dore french toast was very tangy . It balances out very well with the homemade jam that they have! Delicious indeed! It's not something very common people order. But it was worth it!

Mamas' selection of pancakes , scrambles and benedicts are worth the wait. Don't miss the homemade Kugelhopf (brioche bread with golden raisins , cinnamon , dates and almonds ). Read more

90 min of wait..Nahhh...I would say if you really want to try this place come at 8 so it's only 30 min wait. It's definitely worth the 30 min for a valued and delicious good

The best breakfast I have had in my life! Go during the week if you can to avoid long wait . Also get there as soon as they open, 8 I believe! The wait is worth it! French toast ! Pastries ! So fresh!

My family had the best breakfast in SAN Francisco here. The pan cakes , French toast , waffles and salmon scrambled eggs were all fantastic. Definitely worth going to, and the service was fantastic.

Perfect breakfast spot . First day we tried monte cristo and Norwegian eggs Benedict . And decided to come back the next day for blueberry pancakes and French toast sampler . Everything was delicious.

Bay Shrimp Benedict (tomato , avocado , potatoes w/side of crispy bacon ) and a Grapefruit Mimosa ????

Crab cake benedict is perfection with hollandaise on the side. They really know what they’re doing at Mama’s, which is why you can expect to wait in a line . It’s worth it!

The chocolate french toast was very well balanced with fresh fruits ! It wasn't too eggy like some french toast are. This was just perfect! And so filling!

I was recommended to go to Mama's by a friend of mine and even though my family and I had to wait a significant amount of time in line , the food was amazing! Don't miss out on Mama's in San Fran!

Sure, this North Beach staple has lines 'round the block, even on weekdays. But you owe yourself at least one visit to see what the fuss is about (hint: it's the homemade berry jam ). Read more

One of those places with a long line , but it moves quickly, and everything is amazing. Make sure to ask for the homemade jam .

mama's children's omlette and Cheseeee omlette w/goat,cheddar&jack's garlic are great!banana pancake is nice. very friendly&smiley staff.but dont forget the long line outside the place

A tourist spot for breakfast & brunch . We had to queue 2 hours for a table on Sunday morning. If have time in SF try it, but come on an empty stomach (heavy plates)!

They open at 8 - arrive at 7:30 to be in the first seating! While the Monte Cristo is good, the blueberry pancakes are incredible and are a MUST

Awesome eggs benedict ! If you can try the Dungeness crab eggs benedict on weekends. Very yummy!Love the freshly squeezed OJ !

It doesn't matter what you order because the best thing they serve is the homemade jam for your toast ! Go at 730a on Wed or Thurs to avoid the crazy lines .

10/10. Blueberry pancakes . and crab benedict . Trust me, every berry and even an orange slice is absolutely delicious. This place has a soul.

Be prepared to queue. Famous for their Benedict, pan cakes for breakfast . They have variety to choose from. Price reasonable $$

Best Dishes Under $10: Monte Cristo . Roasted turkey breast , honey baked ham , and two types of cheeses battered in egg , grilled, and served with homemade jam . More: http://bit.ly/TbwLaH

Overrated !veg egg Benedict is too heavy and large amount of veg so the taste is lost . the butter pancake we had to return it coz it was cold and 2nd time raw dough ! Average cinnamon french toast

The Washington Square omelet was divine! A good choice for a filling breakfast - I had it with sourdough toast & mama's homemade berry jam ! Mmm!

The breakfast was so filling that we were set for all day! Delicious food and will come back for more!

Every single dish looks amazing and made me drool!! I had the salmon on and asked poached eggs on top. A-mazing!

My life is broken down into two distinct periods: the time BEFORE trying the Mama's Cristo, and the time AFTER trying the Mama's Cristo. You know what you need to do.

Try to go early (8:00am) or be prepared to wait because it fills up and a long line forms quickly. It's worth wait. Friendly service & good food cooked right.

Mama's is my all time favorite breakfast place in the city - if you have the chance to go get there at 8 to wait for them to open at 9 otherwise at 9:15 its already a 2 hr wait,

Aussies will love it here. Get here before 9am on a weekday for only a minor wait. The Monte Cristo is must and if you want to try the French toast ask for one slice. I got the banana walnut ! Yum!

Don't let the long queue disappoint you, it will move quickly and it's worth it.

Waited for 2hrs! The cinnamon french toast was good. I also liked the blueberry cake . However, it doesn't worth the waiting since u can find the same orders anywhere else n save ur time n energy.

Though I had to stand in line over for 1 hour, food was so delicious. I ordered Pan Dore - Slices of Sourdough Baguette with Sauteed Apples in Lemon Butter Sauce - $9.25, and I really liked it.

Waited one hour and its so worth it Benedict eggs and the French toast is amazing!!

Pretty much anything. I had the Swedish cinnamon French toast with bacon . Every bite was delicious. Reminds me of home.

Worth the wait! Monte Cristo , French toast and the northern omelette were all amazing! We ordered three meals to make up for the wait, and we ate it all!

Worth the hour I waited! MUST GET the Paisano Benedict!!!!! Everything was AMAZING!!!!!

I love here so much!!!! So delicious. You must try : Our famous monte cristo , egg benedict !!!! And the jam is so good good.

They have an interesting system. You wait in a line outside, then you go inside and have to wait in another line . You order and pay and then wait for a table to open.

The sampler of French toasts was to die for. I almost shed a tear. The eggs were delivered straight from heaven.

Really great place for brunch ! If you want to get the food fast, come as early as possible!

A very popular breakfast/brunch spot that is well worth the wait times. Get the French Toast Sampler or Dungeness Crab Benedict and an order of Old Fashion Crumble.

Waited about an hour on Tuesday. I would say it was worthwhile. I don't know it is because I was super hungry since I didn't have a breakfast but it was so good that we didn't leave anything.

Get to the restaurant at opening if you can ... it cuts your wait time by about 15 - 20 minutes. Expect a wait but fear not ... the food is well worth the wait. Enjoy!!

In case you're okay with queues, we will definitely love this place. Try the cinnamon french toast + the egg benedict .

The queue continues inside so don't be too delighted when they let you in. Dungeness crab Benedict was good. Monte Cristo was just a pass for me. Come before opening hour to avoid long wait .

Have your man (or friend) stand in line while you walk the streets of SF. 45 minutes or more wait.

The best breakfast in San Fran wouldn’t be complete without a good coffee ! Grab an espresso with a pastry from their bake shop.
