What does a mom want for Mother’s Day? First and foremost, not to have to cook and clean. Second, to not to have to make all the plans. And third, something finger-licking good to eat — but what that is depends on what kind of mom she is.

Ahead are some options for brunch and ways to celebrate moms that range from classic to girly to just get that mom a burger and a spot to chill. We can help you make reservations, but you’re on your own with the card and gift.
