Anytime I have a friend come visit me in Athens, there’s
always one restaurant that has a spot on my list of go-to restaurants: Mama’s
Boy. This classic Southern eatery serves breakfast all day, as well as more
traditional lunch items, such as a pimento cheeseburger. They are famous for
their biscuits, which definitely deserve the attention it receives. Their
biscuits are out-of-this-world good. You have to try them to believe just how
yummy they are. Other favorites are their massive cinnamon rolls that are the
size of your head, literally.

The last
time I went to Mama’s Boy was with my close friend, Betsy. We were able to sit
in their newly renovated porch area and enjoy our favorite Mama’s Boy meal: the
veggie egg scrambler, cheese grits, and their famous biscuits. This combination
is amazing. I make scrambled eggs at home a lot, but I have never had eggs as
good as the ones at Mama’s Boy… How do they do it?? If you’ve ever been to
Mama’s Boy before, you know what I mean. And if you haven’t had the chance to
visit, I hope your mouth is watering enough to motivate you to go in the near
future.
