Mothers Restaurant on Fernwood Glendale opened TODAY in the space formerly occupied by Lil' D'z. Good news: they did an amazing job on the up-fit and you'd never know it used to be a smoky bar!
The walls, floors and furnishings are quite dark, giving the space a moody feel, but there's plenty of light coming through the tinted front windows that it's definitely not too dark. Cool wooden windows give you a view of the kitchen and the bar is fully stocked for nights with friends or a big game. There are even a few tables out front for an outdoor dining experience, which I love, although it's way too hot these days.

We were greeted by an extremely friendly hostess, and the service only got better from there. Very attentive, drinks were always full, food came out hot and as fast as you would expect, and our server answered all of our questions. I've included a picture of the full menu below since it's not available on the web yet. This is the lunch and dinner menu:
The first thing I noticed on the menu was "The Cheese" - fried pimento cheese balls. Yep. They were clearly handmade and extremely delicious. Crunchy coating on the outside and perfectly melty on the inside.
Obviously they don't have "popular" items yet since it is opening day, but the burger was suggested so that's what I went for. Hubs went for the patty melt, which was partially enticing because it was served on cinnamon raisin bread. Both were served with fries and a pickle.
So let's talk burgers. Spartanburg has a lot of great burger places...Ike's, Nu Way, etc. where they really put a lot into their burgers. This one isn't going to beat those, but it's a good burger for sure. Juicy, perfectly cooked, great brioche bun and fresh toppings. You can get it with cheddar, provolone, pimento cheese, blue cheese, or american (pictured is provolone). The fries were right up my alley - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a great seasoning. The pickle was standard, but an addition I would have missed if it wasn't there.
The patty melt was interesting. I'm going to be honest with you here. I love a good sweet/salty combo, but I'm not sure a patty melt should be served on cinnamon raisin bread. Kudos for the creativity, and please try it for yourself, but if it seems too creative for your taste buds, we were assured you can ask for different bread.

The atmosphere is great for a group of friends watching a game or even to bring your family! Coming soon will be daily drink specials, live music and family-friendly entertainment, and inventive food specials (like authentic hummus and pita from a Lebanese staff member!!).
For those of you who were familiar with the space before, you'll see in the pictures that there is a large portion of the building that is blocked off. Mothers did purchase the whole space that Lil' D'z occupied, but right now the other portion is being used for storage. Eventually, it will be open as a "fun" space - lots of ideas in the air right now!
I hope you'll out Mothers soon! It's definitely worth it, and it's great to have another good, locally-owned restaurant in this area of town. I'm looking forward to trying the wings and wraps in particular, as well as "The Struggler". Let me know what you think!!
