Fort Lauderdale's Home Kitchen Since 1972

Since 1972, Mom's Kitchen has been feeding Fort Lauderdale like family — same recipes, same warmth, same welcome at the door.

Our guests don't just come back for the food — they come back for Terri, Priscilla, Monique, and the rest of the team who treat every table like it matters. When reviewers mention their server by name, that tells you everything about the kind of place this is.

A recent renovation brought pendant lights, a tropical mural, and a private event space — but nothing that made it here got changed. The daily specials still rotate, the coffee still comes fast, and the welcome is exactly what it's always been.
