2025 Surf City USA® Foodie Awards Best Brunch Winner: Mama's on 39
These may be fighting words: Brunch is the best meal of the week. From bacon and Benedicts to bubbles and bloody marys, there are sweet and savory options to please any palate. And at Mama’s Comfort Food & Cocktails, every day can be the best day with a menu packed full of hearty morning bites.
Served all day, every day, the brunch menu at this Beach Boulevard mainstay can’t be beat. Come hungry, because Mama’s is known for its massive portions made with love, whether you’re feasting on a stack of flapjacks or forgoing utensils to enjoy the mother of all burritos, the “Kitchen Sink.” Don’t forget to wear PJs on Sunday to receive 20% off your meal before 10 a.m.!
On the Menu
If you’re craving comfort food, Mama’s is the answer. Had a few too many out on Main Street last night? Order the protein-packed Hangover Cure, featuring English muffins layered with piping hot tots, ham, cheese, eggs any style, and two sausage patties. Got a sweet tooth? Add a scoop of ice cream to the French toast (don’t forget sprinkles), or try a specialty pancake like the red velvet stack slathered with cream cheese frosting.
The bacon biscuits are too good to pass up, so get them with a specialty dish like the spicy chorizo scramble, which comes with a side of Mama’s homemade salsa. You can also enjoy them as sliders stuffed with country gravy, scrambled eggs and bacon, sausage, or fried chicken. Speaking of fried chicken — if you’re feeling indulgent, enjoy the buttermilk-marinated crispy pieces on top of a golden waffle topped with country gravy or maple syrup.
Lighter options prove that comfort food can still be mouthwatering. The Bikini Garden Scramble is packed with seasonal vegetables and served with a sliced avocado and feta cheese (hold the bacon), while the Florentine Egg White Scramble offers a fresh plate of spinach, mushrooms, red onions, peppers, and mozzarella.
Kids aren’t left out either — plus, they eat free on Thursday with the purchase of an adult entree. They can choose from a pancake stack or a classic breakfast plate with an egg, side dish, and protein.
Bubbles and More
Celebrate a special occasion (or just cheers to a delicious meal) with the restaurant’s signature “Mamosa” — Champagne served with carafes of house-made orange, cranberry, or POG juice. It’s offered by the glass or as a bottomless 90-minute special until 3 p.m. seven days a week. If you prefer to enjoy brunch sans bubbles, try the 32-ounce Mama’s bloody mary, a monster-sized sip that’s savory, salty, and spicy all at once.
There are plenty of other morning cocktails on the menu as well, like the breakfast shot of Jameson and butterscotch schnapps served with a slice of bacon and an orange juice chaser. You can also sip on Karla’s fancy coffee — a buzzy mix of Absolut, Kahlua, and cold brew — or a non-alcoholic pick from the coffee bar.
