Mom's Diner is a restaurant located in the east side of the Den. It is run by a robust older woman lovingly dubbed "Mom" by her patrons.
Dining[]
Patrons can order rat-pie, rat-loaf, or spaghetti with rat sauce. Each rat dish costs $10 and heals 2-8 hit points.[1]
If the Chosen One completes the "deliver a meal to Smitty for Mom" quest, Mom serves up a "combination plate of the best darn food [she has]"[2] that heals 5-20 hit points.[1]
Though the player can only order rat-based dishes, Mom's Diner sometimes offers non-rat dishes according to The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook.[3][4][5] Presumably, the menu frequently changes based upon whatever food source is presently in the kitchen. The recipes attributed to Mom's Diner in The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook are as follows:
- Radscorpion stew
- Braised pig rat
- Steamed radscorpion tails in drawn butter
- Cabbage soup
- Fresh brahmin fries
- Gecko pie
- Flank steak
- Well-marbled mole rat
- Fricasseed floater
- Filet mignon
- Medallions of grilled gecko
- Mantis marsala
- Molerat manicotti
- Brahmin en brochette
- Radscorpion en croute
- Centaur chops
Shop inventory[]
Mom sells the following items with a Barter skill of 120% and restocks every 13-15 days.[6] Any item with a percentage after it is not always restocked.

Behind the scenes[]
 | The following is based on Fallout 2 cut content. |
|---|
Regularly eating food was necessary for Fallout 2's survival system before it became cut content. Mom's rat dishes would have been considered a "large meal" and the quest reward for "deliver a meal to Smitty for Mom" would have been considered a "huge meal".[1]

Mom: {485}{}{That was good work. You must have worked up quite an appetite. I have a real treat for you as a reward. A combination plate of the best darn food I have here, just for you.}
(Mom's dialogue file) - ↑ The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook p.33: "My journeys out west brought me to a charming establishment called Mom's Diner. One particularly unenthused patron suggested I stay away from the brahmin fries, but I couldn't help myself and ordered a plate. These are... not the same recipe, but I much prefer to harvesting the brahmin, uh, "meat" myself from one of the beasts."
- ↑ The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook p.103: "Mom over at Mom's Diner loved this recipe, but thought mole rat would work just fine as a replacement. We also determined that a combination of Hubflower and a few fern flowers replaced the spices easily. Well, it probably isn't nearly as delicious but at least the recipe won't taste like dirt."
- ↑ The Vault Dweller's Official Cookbook p.99: "When I visited Mom's Diner, I couldn't believe how much radscorpion tasted like chicken. It's certainly easier to find!"
