"At lunch, other than po-boys, you want to eat gumbo or jambalaya or what is, in our opinion, the finest red beans and rice in town since Buster Holmes closed, followed, of course, by Mother’s bread pudding with buttered brandy sauce."

"While you can’t go wrong ordering this dish at any authentic New Orleans food eatery, for a taste of some of the best crawfish etouffee in the city, sample this local favorite at the Mother’s Restaurant."

"A little under the radar, however, is the fact that you can get truly excellent red beans and rice there, too. They're on the permanent menu, but you get your choice of a meat and two sides to go with it during the Monday special; we recommend the baked ham, turnip greens, and grits."

"Mother’s specializes in some other NOLA classics as well, including a spot-on jambalaya."

"If you can’t score an invite to a potluck for the down-home version, head to Mother’s Restaurant in New Orleans. Dirty rice is dished up on Saturdays only, and served à la carte or as a side with fried chicken."

"I had not 1 but 2 bowls of red beans and rice at Mother’s restaurant on my last visit."
