Reviews for Better Than Mama's in Salem, OR
Probably inflation and business trying to keep up and stay open, they remodeled for a bit and came back with a new menu,... interior space, and such, still some classics but portion sizing a bit less with increased pricing. Understandable given thestruggles restaurants have had... While many menu items have changed, there are still some from before and they are just asgood. Sadly, I like the old menu and specials more and will miss it... Still an excellent place for a delicious meal... Read more
First off, this place was difficult to find. I asked a coffee place next door how to find it since there are no signs outside... and it's located in a common/strip mall area. I got their most popular sandwich "Clubhouse" and their Totchos. The Totchos weresub par, I didn't eat them fresh so I can't say whether they were crispy at some point but flavor wise they were alright-nothing special. My problem was the sandwich. This sandwich was essentially tomato and avacado. The bacon was so thin that youliterally could not taste it and if there was anything else on this sandwich it was non existent. This sandwich was alsoliterally so small, I usually share my meals with my husband but it was not a full meal, especially for the price. The savinggrace was the bread, it was fantastic. I would honestly just buy the bread to take home and make a sandwich myself. Also thegirl who answered the phone to take my order and who was behind the desk seemed very annoyed and didn't want to be there, shemay have been having a bad day or something. With all of that being said I will not be returning, I'm not sure how this placehas such good reviews to be honest. Read more
I order online and pick it up on their website via square. It's fast and easy to use. Super clean food spot. Was happy to see... them enforcing the masking mandate throughout the pandemic. They have monthly specials and yummy food. I loved the kale greengoddess salad and so hope they bring it back! Please!!! The thick curly fries are so good esp with gravy. Yummy soups, mushroombrie was my favorite and delicious burgers! Great dipping sauces/spreads esp the balsamic caramelized onion and the Breakieburrito is defo my go to when I don't know what to order. Not only is the food fr sh, tasty and good the staff are justexcellent. Always greated with a smile and a friendly word. Way to go team! So glad I found this place! Definitely better thanMama's!

I chose to try this place for the first time. And boy was I disappointed! The smallest chicken strips and wrap sandwich I... have ever seen! I will not be ordering from here again! If you are super hungry this is not your place! Read more
Although I have never eaten at the restaurant, I eat a lot of their food at catered business lunches. The sandwiches and sides... are always delicious, and the delivery service is always on time. Deserts are worth including as well. Read more
Super delicious! Came by here with my son and husband and luckily it was free fries Friday with any Burger purchase. Everything... was delicious and my son really loved the blue cheese aioli on his Burger. Read more
I've been eye balling this place for a long while and I finally came in recently. I'm so upset with myself for not coming in... sooner. I got their Club sandwich with focaccia bread and fried chicken for extra protein. It was very good. The chicken is waswarm and had a great taste and the sandwich was light and savory. I came by again the next day. The restaurant is clean andcalm. The service is excellent and I had a great experience. Read more
