Go Big: Full Buffet Brunches

We’ve reached out directly to many restaurants across southeastern Connecticut to confirm their Mother’s Day offerings, pricing, and formats so you’re not guessing when you make a reservation. If you see an asterisk (*), it simply means we weren’t able to confirm details with that location at the time of publication, but we’ll continue updating this guide as more information comes in. Mother’s Day has a way of sneaking up on people, and the last thing you want is to be calling around Sunday morning hoping for a table that doesn’t exist.

As you go through the list, you’ll notice most restaurants are offering special Mother’s Day menus served à la carte, meaning you order individual dishes off a curated menu rather than committing to a set price. There are also a couple of prix fixe options, which means a fixed-price meal with multiple courses already structured for you. We’ve focused this guide on restaurants in and around southeastern Connecticut, with a strong pull toward Mystic and the shoreline. No matter where you land, one thing is consistent across the board: make your reservation as soon as possible. Some spots are already filling up, and the rest won’t be far behind.

If you’re leaning toward a buffet experience, the largest and most expansive option on this list is at Mohegan Sun’s Uncas Ballroom. Their Classic and Premium offerings are built on scale… we’re talking carving stations, made-to-order options, and a wide spread that goes well beyond a typical brunch. The Premium tier steps it up even further with elevated selections like seafood on ice, lobster bisque, and a broader range of high-end dishes. It’s the kind of place where you don’t have to decide between breakfast or lunch or dinner… You take a lap and build your own version of the day.

For the Ones Who Do Everything

At the end of the day, Mother’s Day isn’t really about the menu or the setting… It’s about creating a moment where Mom gets to feel appreciated without lifting a finger. It’s the pause in the routine, the slower pace, the shared table where conversations stretch a little longer, and no one is rushing off. Whether it’s a quiet brunch by the water, a lively buffet with the whole family, or something in between, what matters most is the time you carve out together. So pick your spot, lock in that reservation, and give her a day that feels just a little easier, a little warmer, and fully hers.
