Description
Mama’s on 39 is in Huntington Beach and is a homestyle restaurant. They serve big breakfasts, massive lunches, and gargantuan dinners, and get a lot of grief for inventing a tale about the namesake Mama (there is a mama somewhere, but not the Ma Joad-esque saint they’ve created). But there's no denying the Southern-comfort-food-themed joint has at least one culinary winner going for it: the warm, homemade bacon biscuits served all day. Craggy on top like drop biscuits, they gently break apart in the middle like the doughy and delightful Pillsbury variety. Flecked throughout the dough like buried treasure are chunks of smoky bacon, proving yet again that everything is better with that section of hog rolled into your consumable vessel. Mama's On 39's biscuits can be dunked in an accompanying bowl of honey butter, smothered in white gravy or stuffed with other breakfast ingredients for a slider. But just tearing off unadorned slabs and throwing them in your mouth is enough to put a smile on the face of even the harshest critic.
