We made a reservation for our party of eight on a busy day, and waited in cue when we arrived behind a busy counter. Several minutes later, they told us we were too late (8 minutes) and that our table couldn't be held.
While rescheduling to come later when they could fit us in, an additional staff member arrived, was rude to us about being late, and seemed to not want us to come back. Her comments were unprovoked as we understood that it was busy and no one in our party had reacted towards any of the staff for our table being given away.
Again, we're talking about being 8 minutes late, and by the time anyone acknowledged us, we had already been in the restaurant for several minutes.
It was an extremely unprofessional handling of the situation.

This is a great place to eat and spend time with your family and friends. This resturaunt has the best food in town!. Great service and works hard to do everything the right way.
I love their french onion soup and the breakfast menu is awesome.
I would definitly keep coming to Mom's.
Fantastic Food!
:)
Mom's is a great little place where you can really enjoy food just like at home.
It's not fancy but it sure is homey feeling!!! I love coming in with my associates early mornings during the week, our server is so polite and always makes us laugh.
It's great to go to Mom's and feel like they are truly happy to see you come in.
The service is always fast even when the server is by herself which is most mornings that I have been there. Even when she is busy, she makes sure that we all have a beverage to enjoy will she devlivers food or takes an order from the table that arrives before us.
I must say that servers at other places need to take a lesson from some of these girls, they work with a full restaurant and have to clear and set tables and keep the restaurant clean all while serving the customers promptly and with a smile on there face.
Now for the food,
I almost always get the "Old Faithful' Breakfast, the cook ALWAYS makes my eggs perfect and I love the hashbrown potatoes that they have early in the morning ( if you're lucky) The coffee is always fresh, the only thing I will say is sometimes there is a little too much butter on the toast.
And if you have been there, this goes without saying this is the cleanest restuarant I have ever seen. It always smells and looks fresh and when she has a spare moment the server is always cleaning something.
I would have to say that I enjoy my visits at Mom's from start to finish.
I will be back again and again and again and again and again...
Over 10 years ago, I used to come to with my parents to "Mom's" almost every weekend for dinner. My family loved it, we always enjoyed the great service, good food and good value. On a return to Barrie for the first time in a long while, I thought I would bring my wife as she had heard of it, and especially as she is a hockey lover and knows of the Corson connection to the restaurant. We were severely disappointed.
The service was extremely slow, and the host and waitress could not muster a smile. It may not be their fault entirely since they seemed understaffed and overworked. We could only see one waitress for the entire place, which was a typical Saturday night crowd.
The chicken was, as another commentor noted, rubbery, flat and preformed. I expect that from a sub shop, not from a restaruant that is charging around $13 for "chicken breast." The salad bar was not completely stocked, and no one from the staff appeared to be checking it. The meal took 1/2 hour to arrive...very slow for something that looked and tasted microwaved. The portions were small. My baked potato did not come with anything, even butter, though I asked for it.
The ONLY saving grace is the pie, which is still homemade and delicious. We shared a very expensive piece of it.
Our impression is that the famous customer service and value of previous days are long gone. Very sad.

After coming to Mom's for a second chance with a neighbor that enjoys the restaurant I was disgusted. I had no idea what to get on the menu because nothing looked appealing - so I ordered the grilled cheese.
I was disappointed with the service as like many other's my drinks were not refilled.
The place was filled with elderly individuals - maybe because they are the only ones who put up with it?
On a high note - the pie was great! I would return only to buy an entire pie.
