SAN ANTONIO - If you are looking for some great comfort food at a traditional San Antonio spot, than look no further than Mama's Cafe.
Today I'm taking you back to the 1980s, when every Friday night I could not wait to go to Mama's Cafe. I don't know about you, but something about those fried mushrooms called to me every week - and I had to go there.
I was very sad when it changed hands. It had new ownership. The menu changed. It wasn't as good.
But I'm here to tell you Cappy Lawton, who owns Cappy’s, Cappyccino’s and LaFonda on Main, has bought Mama's, and has brought it back to its original glory.
The restaurant is not only kitschy, but it's really cool. You'll see some of the artwork by his brother, Brad Lawton, who is a very well-known San Antonio artist. And the thing I really loved the most was the mural that you will see in the bar. Now it's not your traditional mural. It’s not done with paint. It is created with 10,000 bottle caps. I know, it's amazing. And when you see it from a distance, you know it's Willie Nelson. It's absolutely incredible.
They've also got a room that has cowboy boots, and if you look at the ceiling, you'll see all these cowboy hats. Some of them are signed by famous cowboys. Really, really exciting to see.
They also have a great intimate little outdoor patio with a little water feature. So even though the hustle and bustle of North New Braunfels is going by on one side, when you're out on that patio, all you'll hear is the trickling of the water and you'll be surrounded by these beautiful plants.
It's really a lovely place.
There is a party room in case you want to bring a bunch of friends or have a party there.
But the thing I really love is it's perfect for a table for one because they have these little booths that only seat two people, and I love that. I can sit there. I can return my e-mails. I can talk on the phone. I can do whatever I need to do and it's really great.
Now I will tell you the only downside is - because they are not able to be fully staffed - they're only open Wednesday through Sunday, and that's only for dinner, so 4:30 to 9. So if you want to go, get there early, so you don't have to have a long wait because you will have a wait.
But when you're there, have some mushrooms and tell them Melody sent you.
