MAMA’S BOY

You simply cannot spend a day in Athens without hitting up the infamous brunch place that everyone and their mom knows and loves – Mama’s Boy. It’s best known for its southern-style comfort food, offering breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes during its operating hours. The restaurant has a warm and open atmosphere, featuring indoor and outdoor sitting. But be ready for its long lines and crazy wait times! I’ve learned to get there early and give myself sometimes even a full hour for the wait. Mama’s Boy’s current location is 197 Oak Street, Athens, GA 30601, but luckily, they will be opening a new location soon enough in Watkinsonville. Check out their website with their menu and hours!
