The day I came they had their fried chicken and hot chicken, the latter made with their homemade hot spice mixture. I ordered the hot chicken, with mac n cheese, twice baked potato casserole, sweet tea and buttermilk pie. Everything is homemade, so needless to say it was delicious and we had no issues during our lunch. The hot chicken was not spicy to anyone at our table since we all ordered it, but so flavorful. They also have a good burger supposedly, well everything is just supposed to be good. Definitely a roadfood type of place worth going out of your way for.

A friend recommended a lunch stop at Mama's after a downtown meeting, and I was thrilled to finally give it a real go. (I'd honestly forgotten about my first impression until I remembered) But that's in the past and I'm happy to wipe the slate clean. This visit, the fried chicken special was delicious and perfectly executed. I tasted the pork chop and it was great as well. The Mac and cheese and collard greens that I ordered as sides, all tasty. I cleaned my plate. The sweet tea is also just as amazing as I remember from before when I tasted it in the wild. Service from Emily, wonderful as well. All in all, Mama's in-house dining is where it's at. Cheers!

I'm a sucker for a roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer (which we ordered). The chunks of bacon in it were delightful. My dish was light with 3 perfectly seared scallops and a spinach salad with fruit and a vinaigrette dressing. My husband had a 14 0z. ribeye with roasted asparagus and subbed the potatoes for vegetables. It was all very good. The decor is very hip - a wood meets metal type interior design. Only downside - 1. Steak was a bit gristly for a prime cut. 2. The metal chairs are a bit unforgiving for people with big hips. Only The steak was a bit gristly

Today I ordered fried pork chop, candied yams, loaded potato salad, collard greens, banana pudding, and blackberry cobbler (was told it was blueberry)! The pork chop tasted ok, cold but ok. The candied yams were out of the can with a bitter sweetness of honey or syrup, I truly could not identify. They were too bitter to enjoy. The greens were tough and seasoned with some type of hot sauce that took away from the natural taste of homecooked greens. The loaded potato salad, well....just stay away. Cobbler was just down right disgusting as in not even edible. The banana pudding was pudding out of the can with black bananas and soggy nilla wafers. This was my first order and will be my last one. However, if their cafe lasts for any length of time and I see plenty of patrons, I may be willing to try again but that will be no time soon. I like to support local business but I want what I pay for to be palatable.

Collard greens were good, but potatoes and gravy had little flavor. I was charged a 10% "service fee", that states on the receipt is for parties over 0? Forced tip?
