But the food was hot and it didn't taste bad. I would prefer if the cups weren't styrofoam. And the corn bread isn't sweet. I would have preferred sweet.

Unfortunately, this was my first trip to Jackson in 50 years and I really have not reason to go back. The 4 hour drive is just a bit too much for a repeat of this meal, but it's tempting.

The energy in the room said, "We closed in our hearts 30 minutes ago." The sushi bar looked like it had survived a mild apocalypse. A few lonely rolls sat scattered on nearly empty trays, clinging to life under the dim heat lamps. It was like a museum exhibit called "Sushi: The Final Hours." The cooked food was mostly lukewarm, like it had been gently whispered warm three hours earlier. As we made our way through the buffet, I could feel the staff's collective telepathic chant: "Please... just leave." They weren't rude--just aggressively done with the day. If hustle were food temperature, everything would've been sizzling. But hey, I'll give credit where it's due: it was cheap, and the ice cream was cold and surprisingly good. In fact, the ice cream single-handedly earned the second star. Without it, this would've been a one-star review and a tragic sushi eulogy. If you're looking for a late-night buffet adventure, Ichiban delivers an experience that will make you question your life choices--but at least you'll save money doing it. I really think that I put more energy into writing this review then the staff put into taking care of the diners in their restaurant

I am not sure how I have never found this place before now, but I can tell you that everyone else has. This place was packed! Parking was a nightmare. I cut off a cop and stole his parking spot. Yea! Stick it to the man, Adam! Giant community tables full of buffet goers. I wasn't sure if I could find a seat. I was impressed by the size at that point and then realized on the way out there was a whole second floor as well. It is freaking huge! When you pay, there is a little old lady that douses your hands with sprays of sanitizer. I did not care to partake, she did not care, and insisted. We aren't buddies. You can see the stank face she gave me. I don't care though, hater gonna hate. The buffet is rich with country foods. I was in love from the jump. Fast moving buffet food is my jam. They had all the things I like and tons of other things you folks like. I made two trips, I barely got most of the second down so I didn't get to enjoy dessert. That's ok, I like protein way better than sweet things. Thank you Allah for statin drugs! I had all the fried things! Fried chicken livers are some of my faves, especially if there is mashed potatoes and gravy involved. The fried chicken itself was great. Hell it was all good. I see why it's so damn busy. I think it was like $16 maybe. That's with a drink and endless food and dessert. My server was such a sweet lady and the bus staff were great too. They made sure you didn't want for anything and never had a dirty plate in front of you. I will be back as soon as possible. Planning a visit now! '26 - 102

I genuinely don't know what happened in that kitchen, but Mama Hamil's food was fucking disgusting…read more The fried chicken was dry as hell, with barely any moisture or flavor worth talking about. The fish was somehow even worse because it was so over-seasoned that I could barely taste anything besides salt and seasoning. For a place that's supposed to serve comfort food, this was anything but comforting. And the desserts were NOT saving the meal. The cinnamon rolls were dry and rubbery, like they had been sitting out way longer than they should have. The ice cream didn't taste right either--it had a strange flavor that made me question whether it was even fresh. Then there was the cake, which literally smelled like fucking fish. I don't know how a cake manages to smell like seafood, but somehow they pulled it off. Then I went down to the line expecting the so-called "freshly cooked" collard greens to at least be decent. Nope. They came out looking like fucking slop. The presentation alone made me lose my appetite, and the quality definitely didn't make up for it. At this point, I was wondering if anything in that kitchen was actually being made with care. But don't get me started on the customer service. The waiter was extremely rude and acted like we were bothering him by being there. He was throwing things at us, including towels, straws, and other stuff, instead of simply handing them to us. He was moving so fast and carelessly that he even splashed me with water. That's not just bad service--that's straight-up disrespectful. Overall, my experience at Mama Hamil's was terrible from the food to the service. Dry chicken, over-seasoned fish, rubbery cinnamon rolls, questionable ice cream, cake that smelled like fish, sloppy collard greens, and rude customer service is an insane combination. I came expecting a good meal and left wondering how this place has the audacity to serve some of this stuff to customers. Based on my experience, I definitely would not recommend it.

I've had the dinner buffet before and it is really good as well!! Everything was seasoned well. I didn't eat anything that I didn't enjoy. I love how my drink was still cold because of the cup to they serve the drinks in. The ambiance is very family style and it is good for big groups. We had a group of 20 and we were accommodated well. Now here's for the breakdown of the buffet that I can remember. Meats: catfish, pork chops, chicken, blackened catfish, fried liver, bbq chicken, fried shrimp, and pot roast Sides and veggies: greens, black eyed peas, fried okra corn, fried green tomatoes, rice (sorta like a dirty rice), mashed potatoes, yams, hush puppies, mac &cheese, Mexican corn bread, regular corn bread, corn salad, salad bar, pasta salad, etc Desserts: plenty were available. I got the banana pudding and it was tasty Listen, check out Berry's seafood the next time you are in this part of Mississippi!!! They have crab legs during dinner hoursp
