She gave you life, taught you right from wrong and continues to be a source of love and support. So when Mother's Day arrives, you might find yourself stressing about how to show her your appreciation. Popular options include gifts, flowers and of course, dining out.

Mother's Day is the most popular dining out day of the year. If you've ever worked in food service, you will know this to be true. If you're planning on taking your mother out for the holiday, do her a favor and make reservations. Open Table is one resource which allows you to make reservations online. Unfortunately, many restaurants don't take reservations and these also tend to be the less-expensive options, which are sure to be packed. If you want to avoid the long waits and busy restaurants, one option is to take your mother out on a different day to celebrate. Or, there's always the option of cooking dinner for her. But, if your heart is set on dining out, below are a list of several restaurants...MORE offering a special Mother's Day brunch.
