Mother is a casual vegetarian restaurant in hip Midtown Sacramento. We were passing through on the way to Tahoe and stopped here. It is a cool area with lots of shops and restaurants. Menu is plant forward with lots of options and no meat. Food was better than expected, making this great for vegetarians and even carnivores. Service was okay but the waitress disappeared after a while. Food Review: Wedge Fries ($9) are really good. Nicely fried and large wedges. Vegan mayo and ketchup. 10/10 Cauliflower Coconut Curry ($20) has a slight kick and comes with lots of veggies. 9/10 Turmeric Hummus ($14.00 +falafel $3.00) had some really nice pita and hummus. Wish there was more hummus. Side salad is a small after thought. 8.5/10 Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies (V) ($6.00) for 2. A bit on the soft side. 8/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Fair Value - Very Good Would we come back - Yes

I felt guilty arriving here 45 minutes before they closed. No, we are not one of those. But tonight we were. Sorry! Still, amazing service and as always the food is good. The art on the wall was new, it was pleasant to look at. Can I share my art too? Anyway, this is our second or third time at this location. I've tried them once in 2019 before they closed the other location and I'm glad they're back and better. Don't ever leave again.

Really wanted to try this vegan friendly restaurant. They have a liquor license too. So sad that over half the items on the menu are not and cannot be made vegan. The mushroom bolo lasagna and mushroom sizzling skillet have dairy (and maybe egg too). So we tried the soup of the day (tortilla) and oyster mushroom po'boy. Sandwiches was yummy and came with homemade chips. Soup tasted a bit like enchilada sauce and was puréed without beans. Did have tortilla chips on top. Not my fav, but good. Staff was friendly, food came out quick, and there is plenty of street parking. Hope they plan to offer more vegan dishes. Vegetarians will love this place.

I've been wanting to try Mother at their new K Street location since I heard they were re-opening. I went with a friend who is vegan and we both were a bit skeptical based on experiences at their previous location. However, we were both pleasantly surprised with the items with the menu and the food. We started our meal with their soup of the day, creamy white bean with rosemary. We also shared an appetizer of grilled shishito peppers. For our main course, my friend ordered the mushroom Po'boy sandwich and I got a golden beet tostada. We also got broccolini adobo and grilled summer squash to share. The soup was creamy without being too heavy. The shishito peppers were lightly roasted which brought out sweet and smoky flavors. The summer squash came with grilled apricots, which added a sweet touch to the savory dish. The broccolini with adobo sauce worked very well together. I had my doubts because adobo sauce is usually very salty, but Mother's version was spiced to compliment the vegetable. What I loved about all the dishes was being able to truly taste the fresh ingredients because they weren't overpowered by heavy sauces or creams. We left full and satisfied without feeling stuffed. Service was efficient and friendly. Our food came out in a timely manner and the server came around to check on us. We didn't ever feel like we had to ask for anything. All in all, it was positive re-introduction to the new Mother restaurant. I'll definitely be back soon.

While walking through Sacramento, we stumbled upon Mother Restaurant and were intrigued once we realized they offer vegan options, so we decided to give it a try. To our surprise, the food really hit the spot. We visited during a slow lunch hour, which allowed us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was relaxed. We decided to share the oyster mushroom po'boy and the eggplant dish ( I forgot the name of the item), and both dishes were absolutely fantastic. We had a hard time deciding which one was our favorite because each was so flavorful in its own way. .It's a great find in Sacramento, especially for anyone looking for tasty vegan options.

While I had known Mother was back in Sacramento I hadnt been able to visit. But thank goodness they are back with their staples and classics and just down the street from their previous location. The mushroom po'boy is always a great choice and the additions of the chips is chef kiss. The sandwich is a great size and easily shareable. The mushrooms are fried and seasoned in a great blend, and the lettuce and cucumbers are a fresh addition. The fried chips are light and crunchy with a seasoning that resembles BBQ chips. My partner ordered the special pasta on the menu and we ordered a side of potato wedges with a great dipping sauce. Staff was very nice and welcoming, checking in at the appropriate times.
