if anyone has a beef with anyone that was mentioned on this blog including the owners of the restuarant why don't you be a MAN and discussed it with them face to face and stop hiding behind this blog.
Its obvious the person who started this blog has a beef with John and this restaurant and slamming them and a new business does not accomplish anything but only demonstarte how patheic they are
.
If you were living a happy existence you wouldn't be on blogs trashing people all day- dont impose your misery on others

Why don't you figure out the difference between a "blog" and a "message board" before making statements that make you sound like you don't know what you're talking about?

Momma's Kitchen is a great restaurant. My family is so glad the area finally got another family-owned place to get good food, versus another fast-food joint. The lady who owns the place is always there working and very gracious. Hopefully it will be successful and stay open for a long time!
Regarding it being empty of customers, we've always found it busy at lunch and very busy at dinner; slower during mid-afternoon, but that's no different than any other restaurant. It's a good place to go with friends, as the menu has enough variety to please everyone. Understand that they are now serving breakfast on the weekends. We will have to try that, too!

I agree with Live In MtVernon that the Momma's Kitchen restaurant is very good. We go there regularly and my daughter loves the pizza. The menu has a lot of variety and the servings are large. We usually have take-home boxes with leftovers for later meals, so the cost is very reasonable.

Northern Virginia Man Cops Plea In Serial Refinancing Scam
In Northern Virginia, The Washington Post reports:
* [John A. Tsiaoushis, 40,] The former owner of a string of Washington area nightclubs and restaurants pleaded guilty [last week] to federal mail fraud and false-testimony charges relating to a series of real estate scams that netted him more than $3.8 million. [...] Tsiaoushis filed for bankruptcy in October 2005. But by that time, he had begun a series of mortgage frauds in which he repeatedly sold or refinanced two houses in Vienna and in the Fort Hunt area of Fairfax County.
According to the story, Tsiaoushis' scheme involved the diversion of funds earmarked for the payoff of existing liens on the two homes he repeatedly sold or refinanced. Among his alleged escapades were:
1. creation of documents purportedly from the mortgage companies involved,
2. opening local post office boxes,
3. presentation of phony documents indicating that all liens had been resolved,
4. creation of phony bankruptcy court order,
5. directing the real estate settlement company to send the payoff checks to the post office boxes which were purported to belong to the mortgage companies involved, at which point, Tsiaoushis would pocket the checks.

Ex-Club Owner Pleads Guilty in Mortgage Scams
By Tom Jackman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 2, 2008
The former owner of a string of Washington area nightclubs and restaurants pleaded guilty yesterday to federal mail fraud and false-testimony charges relating to a series of real estate scams that netted him more than $3.8 million.
John A. Tsiaoushis, 40, formerly owned the now-defunct Shark Club nightclubs in Centreville, Merrifield and Bethesda, the Acropolis and Cloud restaurants in the District and the short-lived Chics n Wings restaurant in Tysons Corner. Tsiaoushis filed for bankruptcy in October 2005.
But by that time, he had begun a series of mortgage frauds in which he repeatedly sold or refinanced two houses in Vienna and in the Fort Hunt area of Fairfax County.
In May 2006, Tsiaoushis sold a house on Chadwick Avenue in Fairfax. The next day, court records show, he told a bankruptcy judge that he had not sold the house and wouldn't do so without the judge's permission.
"We all pay the price for mortgage fraud, and we will prosecute it wherever we unearth it," U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said after yesterday's hearing. He said mortgage companies that absorb such losses often pass the cost on to consumers. The case is one of the largest mortgage frauds prosecuted in eastern Virginia, Rosenberg said.
Pending his sentencing hearing July 18, Tsiaoushis's attorneys, Blair D. Howard and Plato Cacheris, declined to say why Tsiaoushis (pronounced shy-OH-shis) got involved in mortgage fraud.
"He's acknowledged that he's made mistakes," Howard said. "There were circumstances that don't excuse, but will explain, that certain financial problems occurred. A series of financial problems. People do things when they have serious financial difficulties."
Tsiaoushis told U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady that he had agreed to help federal investigators. O'Grady said Tsiaoushis's sentence could be reduced if he cooperates.
Prosecutors said Tsiaoushis faces a possible sentence of seven to nine years in prison, according to federal guidelines, but O'Grady can deviate from that.
Much of Tsiaoushis's activity centered on a 3,200-square-foot house on Pennycress Lane.
In January 2005, while Tsiaoushis owed more than $588,000 on the mortgage, he sold the house without repaying it. Court records show he created documents purportedly from the mortgage company, opened a post office box in Beltsville and had the settlement company send checks totaling $586,000 to the "mortgage company's" post office box, which Tsiaoushis then deposited.
Using friends and associates, Tsiaoushis helped refinance the house for subsequent buyers. In each case, checks settling the transactions were sent to post office boxes opened by Tsiaoushis, court records show, after he presented phony documents indicating that all liens had been resolved.
Court records show that CitiFinancial of Falls Church paid more than $670,000 in a refinancing scam; Accredited Home Lenders of San Diego paid $891,000 to "buy" the house; and Wells Fargo in Alexandria lent $585,000 in a refinancing scheme. First Franklin Financial of San Jose, which made the original, legitimate mortgage on the house, is owed $588,000, court records show.
Using the same scheme, Tsiaoushis sold his house on Chadwick Avenue to a friend for $937,500 even though the bankruptcy court had ordered him not to sell it. When a title abstractor discovered the bankruptcy, Tsiaoushis provided the title company with a false order saying that his case was dismissed. Tsiaoushis, using post office boxes with the names of actual lenders, then collected more than $780,000.
Tsiaoushis agreed to make restitution for the losses, which the government said total more than $3.8 million.
All of those involved in the phony transactions are thought to be friends or business associates of Tsiaoushis, court records said. Khalil Salim Arbid was sentenced last month to 16 months in prison for his role in one of the phony transactions.

Mamma's Kitchen is a wonderful restaurant with terrific food and friendly wait staff. The neighborhood is safe enough for a single mom to take her young son and not give it a second thought. They also participate in fundraisers for our local schools and other groups. 5 STARS!!!!!!!!

The funny thing about any of the messages that speak out against the restaurant is that it is obviously very personal. None of it is based on food quality! In this family sounds like mistakes may have been made which does nothing but make them human! LOL I say LOL because in all honesty we should be so lucky to have a family member good or bad make enough money to sustain the American Dream. As a food critic, I personally don't give a rat's tail, (excuse the pun LOL) who the owner may or may not be related to or who claims to be responsible for the pizza recipe. What I do care about is the food! Whoever is making my hamburger pie and cobb salad with everything on the side is doing a fantastic job! I have eaten there at least 5 times and have blogged and given them 4 stars in customer service and quality of the food! Unlike most I will stand behind my statements about Mama's Kitchen, Fantastic! Keep up the great work.

We should arrange to have this thread removed. I drive by this place every day on my way to work. Fort Belvoir. It is always empty and would not even dare to go there. The whole little strip center was a big mistake. There is even a cell phone store besides it. Nobody goes there. Id rather go to the nasty Chinese restaurant next to the baloon store by office depot. They have this special plater with a half chicken on top that is about 3 feet long. I have never seen a half a chicken portion that is about 3 feet from tip to end. Must be some fat turkey?
No idea all for 6.00
They even have calling cards for the mexicans.

It is obvious you have personal issues regarding whoever owns the restaurant because your statements dont make sense. If you drive every day to work and pass the restaurant it is MORNING and the restaurant is closed. I've been there for lunch and can't find parking and have to go to the back if iam lucky to find a spot
and don't even bother trying to find a spot on the weekends because you won't find it and EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER PARKS ON THE GRASS.
And as far as the verizon store i bought my phone from him last week and he's doing so well he is opening another store nearby. And if you're at work all day how do you know that no ones goes in there?
And making a statement that the strip center is a mistake who the fuck are you to critize anyone that has the guts to build a shopping center in this economy and succeed but a LOSER who probably never went to college, has a crappy job and is living in their mommy's basement.
***btw*** my chiropractor fr gold gym just moved into a space in that same shopping center. There's obviously good reasons why a business person would want to set up shop in a high traffice shopping center like this one. hmmmmm

Ignore all the negative comments. This restaurant is great and most of the food is home-made, not brought in frozen from suppliers. The pizza and lasagna are really good! The servers are very friendly and so is the lady owner. If it was bad, it wouldn't be busy most of the time and have so many regular customers.

Primo's bites. Worst food - and the place stinks. That area needs a much better family style restaurant. Dishes of India is better than Primo's in the same center.

Uh - I'd rather eat Chef Boyardee than the crap at Primo's. How friggin hard is it to make french fries. Or gyros. Or pasta. Or pizza with sauce that isn't burnt. Etc. Can't wait til they go out of business so a new place can open up.

I've eaten there a few times. I don't know any of the individuals involved or mentioned previously so this is a totally unbiased review.
The location is ok, not great, parking is not a problem, there's plenty around back if needed.
The decor and ambiance is pleasant, and the wait staff is very courteous. I went there twice, once ate in and once take out. The service when I ate in was fine, it wasn't very crowded as I went for a late lunch during a weekday. But, they were conscientious without being too intrusive. The time I had carry out was a Sunday evening and since I had not called in ahead of time I had to wait about 15 minutes. The staff was again very courteous and offered me iced tea while I waited.
The food is just ok, not terrible but definately not great. The first time I went I got a steak sandwich and it had too much grease on it, I think the fries are frozen (although I'm not all that knowledgeable). I have to say I haven't tried the pizza and I love pizza so maybe I should give that a try.
The value was fair, it's not a steal by any means but not exhorbitant either. So all-in-all, on a scale of 10 I'd give it a 5. I wouldn't refuse to ever go there again but it wouldnt be my first choice either. Now, to me, and this was mentioned earlier, not being one of the chains that proliferate Rt. 1, I'd choose it in a heartbeat over one of them.
One final criticism and this is intended to be constructive, I think they could do a better job of daily and periodic cleanin. For example, when I was waiting for carry out I noticed the floors needed to be cleaned. But maybe that's just me.

After reading all this are these the same people in the 70's that owned Andreas? It was located at the corner where 5 guys is located now. Also remember Mikes down the street. I liked to old owners and the little juke boxes on the walls. They had the best spaghetti.

Mikes used to be a great hang out for kids in th 70's. We had more fun there after football games. Sometime in the 80's it was sold. Now the place has white table clothes and high prices. Havent been to the place in 20 years. But think about how is used to be.
