Mom's Kitchen - Olathe, Kansas Mom's Kitchen is a much more pleasant place to dine now that Olathe, Kansas has banned smoking. Mom's is open for breakfast and lunch until 2PM seven days a week. Mom's has a large, diner style menu and quick service. The food is more consistent than special. I've never had poor food at Mom's Kitchen, but I have never had a dish that really stood out. The servings are generous. Real mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy and breakfast served all day. Mom's most popular items are probably the pork tenderloin and big 10 ounce cheeseburgers. The onion rings are not homemade, but are still better than those at most area restaurants, and the serving is 2-3 times larger than most. For only $2.99. On my most recent visit, I had good fried chicken and was allowed to choose which pieces I wanted. But I can't recommend the French fries that I ordered as the side. The other recent change is that Mom's Kitchen now serves Coke products - even thought the menu and the glasses say Pepsi on them. The servers are friendly, but careless. Don't be surprised if one sits down at your table to write down your order. The interior is quite dark, but most of the seating is at booths that have a light right over the table. Diners who are in wheelchairs would have a hard time using the small rest rooms at Mom's Kitchen. This long time Olathe, Kansas restaurant is a good value.
