You’ve no doubt noticed by now that the best gifts you can give the mother in your life are the ones that actually mean something. This year, treat her to a delicious meal (aka one she didn’t prepare) from one of these local joints.
Editor’s note: We’ll be updating this list as more restaurants announce their Mother’s Day plans, so bookmark this page and check back for the latest. Have a scoop? Email us: info@littlerocksoiree.com.
Raduno Brick Oven & Barroom
At-home brunch never looked so good. Pick up a brunch box (pictured above) from this SoMa eatery and you’ll walk away with lox, deviled eggs, half a quiche, champagne and your choice of strawberry or banana pudding. Call 501.374.7476 to purchase.
Rusty Tractor Vineyards
Mother’s Day at the vineyard sure sounds nice to us. The Our Mobile Kitchen food truck will be onsite dishing out the deliciousness all afternoon, alongside live music, beer, wine and cocktails. Entrance is free, but you can rent a private cabana for the day. Click here to reserve yours.
Cache
Brunch is the name of the game at this River Market restaurant, complete with seafood omelettes, chicken and waffles, bananas foster french toast and more. It’s only served in person, so if you’re celebrating at home, opt for the Mother’s Day basket instead with fruit, scones, muffins and a bottle of champagne. To reserve your table or pre-order a basket, call 501.850.0265.
The Grind
If this little coffee bistro isn’t on your radar, now’s the time to change that. The Grind is serving a five course brunch menu (with vegan options), bottomless mimosas and a professionally taken photo of you and Mom. Click here for tickets.
Fassler Hall
Your mom’s not like a regular mom, she’s a cool mom. Treat your cool mom to something a little different this year with this beer dinner fueled by Brood & Barley. Learn more here.
Allsopp & Chapple
Four courses of brunch await you and Mom on Main Street. Think: charred tomato bisque, Alaskan smoked salmon, pork belly and lobster eggs benedict, plus complimentary mimosas. Call 501.902.4911 or visit the Allsopp & Chapple website for reservations.
Community Bakery
More to-go treats await with this Mother’s Day brunch box filled with your choice of quiche, muffins and homemade Pop-Tarts. Call 501.375.6418, email orders@communitybakery.com or order online.
Trio’s
If Mom is a strawberry fiend, there’s no question of where to go. This local staple’s strawberry shortcake is an absolute must, but since they’re closed on Sundays, make sure to stock up ahead of time. Call 501.221.3330 or click here to order.
Cypress Social
We love them separately, but when we see the words “brunch” and “buffet” together, we’re sold. This menu has everything from prime rib and fried chicken to sourdough french toast and Chef Sara’s famous pastries. Call 501.916.2670 to make a reservation.
Petit & Keet
More brunch options? Yes, please. Petit & Keet has a lengthy Mother’s Day menu including some of the seafood flair their chefs are known for. Think: mini crab cakes with Cajun crawfish cream, miso-glazed salmon with sesame spinach and shrimp and grits with crabmeat and tomato broth. See the full menu here and call 501.319.7675 to make a reservation.
Sunset Lodge at Rusty Tractor Vineyards
If Mom likes fresh air, she can get it in droves at the vineyard where food trucks, live music, beer, wine and cocktails await. Attendance is free, but you can reserve a private cabana on the lawn. Learn more here.
