[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun place to check out. Outsdoor eating too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried the Cuban sandwich. Loved the pickles but next time would opt for no mustard, I am just not a fan if fancy mustard. Give me my cheap yellow stuff, lol. Also had the Tamales, got 6 so we could enjoy more at home. Good flavor! Fun thing about Tameles are, everyone makes them different, so hard to go wrong. Street corn had a good fresh punch to it. Wait staff all had friendly smiles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole place was well kept and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was the worst experience we've ever had there. The tamales were old, burnt, and dry. I have eaten there hundreds of times before so I know what they used to be like. They have lost their signature menu item trying to keep up with the new menu. read more

Fat Mamas, can you get it together, please. We have enjoyed good food in the past, but today we ordered chips with our to go meal and got very few chips and they are very old and stale. Haven't eaten our meal yet - I do hope it is up to the old fat mama standards Update: Got home and opened my taco salad. Very LITTLE lettuce - less than half of what we used to receive. Only fills about half the taco shell. So disappointed :( read more

This place is crazy good. Not where you would expect to find great tamales. And they are that good

Great food. Fast service. The menu has such a variety to choose from. Tamales and street corn were a great combination. Huge fan of the plastic souvenir cups, complimentary with your drink. Will visit here again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to bring your friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They have two registers and 15 people ordering and you would think they could open another? Get this they told me I couldn't give me my sangria before the meal as they have no control over that, crazy huh. Who wants to sit here while you wait for someone in the back to decide when you can have your drink. Last time at this place. read more

Not my favorite, not very friendly and the food is unimpressive. I have visited 3 tomes and will not be back.

Ok, so this isn't going to be a fair review because a restaurant with the name Fat Mama's Tamales was out of tamales when I came for dinner on a Tuesday night. Sorry, but have to knock one star for that. ‍ Anyways, I ended up ordered the taco soup and my SO ordered the chili. Also had to try the Knock-You-Naked margarita (strawberry) to see if it actually would work. When they brought the food to the table we had a hard time telling the difference between the soup and the chili. Finally, after much digging around in the bowl, turns out the soup has a little less meat and corn in it. Otherwise, they look and taste similar. Which was really good! We got some hot sauce to put in it just to spice it up a bit but it had great flavor. Also had to try the Fire and Ice pickles. They are good. Basically they are just sweet and spicy pickles. The margarita was good. Not mind blowing but good. It's just a basic margarita with strawberry flavor added to the bottom. Have to mix it up a bit to find the strawberries. The Gringo Pie is what I was looking forward to trying but since they were out of tamales I'll just have to try again whenever I come back through. COVID 19: customers are required to wear masks until seated. Hand sanitizer is available at the counter where you order your food and pay. Tables are spread out and they do have patio seating.

Great food glad some recommened if when they heard we were heading to Natchez. The Fire and Ice pickles were as good as promised. We bought a jar to take home. Everything was seasoned to perfection without being Hot . And I like hot but I as happy with their Tamales, red sauce, chili and pickles. We t perfect with a cold beer. read more

Despite the name tamales is not worth eating, dried and lacking flavor. The margaritas were good though.

Quick friendly service, great food and a cool vibe. FYI though they do not serve tamales all day. We waited until noon even though they opened at 11 but the tamales wouldn't be available for a couple hours. We got regular nachos to snack on until we came back. They were ehh. The tamales and gringo pie were so good when we finally got them though!!! read more

I ordered Fat Mama's Tamales online. These Tamales come highly recommended. The Tamales are perfectly packaged and vacuum sealed for long lasting flavor and maintain moisture. The Tamales are one of a kind ole school Mississippi Tamales. They are delicious, small in size but packs a big flavor. Must Order. Enjoy! AW read more

I came for the tamales. Being from New Mexico I have had many tamales, but in the style where they are steamed in the husk. These delta style tamales are different in that they are boiled, smaller, and a little more spicy. I ordered the gringo pie, 3 tamales covered with Texas style chili, cheese, and onions. Although not as good as the tamales back home( I am biased of course) these delta style ones are addictive! I will definitely be back the next time I pass through. read more

Amazing! What a cute place! Those fire and ice pickles tho, out of this world. Margaritas are delicious, dont forget your stickers. Highly recommended. read more

Food is way to expensive and bland. The service was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a good atmosphere so I'd say maybe once.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very good tamales. Try the Gringo Tamales covered in chilly, onions and jalapeños. Try the margaritas also.

Honestly not all that good. Margaritas are weak and not very tasty. Food was gloopy and service was hostile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Best part was sitting on the patio on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We make a point to visit FMT every time we come to Natchez. I always order the gringo pie (tamales covered in chili, cheese and onions). And it's always good. Servers are always friendly and happy to help out with choices. Not sure what the building used to be, but like most of the places in downtown Natchez it's filled with decor from the old days. I wouldn't wear a suit to eat here. You'll look out of place even more than usual. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because I collect their 22 oz plastic cups every year when I come to town...but they were out of stock on the day I visited. Bummer! Maybe you can get one when you go! read more

When in Natchez, I always get a gringo to go to eat when I get home. When I'm not driving, I get a Knock You Naked Margarita. The perfect combo!! read more

Walked in and didn't know what to do so a customer told us to order at the counter and seat ourselves. The staff here either really hate their jobs or they just don't like white people (which the dining room was full of) No asking how we were doing or saying thank you and a dour frown on their faces the entire time they took our order. Food was good although mine was just barely warm. I had the Gringo Pie. 3 tamales covered with chili, cheese, onion and jalapeños. It was good but would've been better hot. Cute restaurant and a nice patio area. Just kinda sorta recommend. read more

Hot Tamale Trail - Stop #2/12 Great location, easy parking, outdoor dining, Interior décor is very fun - brightly lit and colorful. Yes, this is where I want to eat tamales. Tamales - 4 star Boudin - 5 star Tamales wrapped in corn husk, uniform in shape and size. The meat was well seasoned and tasty, but a little dry - (no sauce). Could have had a little more meat to masa ratio, and a little too hot for me. Boudin - Unable to cut casing with plastic knife (rubber). After peeling, the sausage was mild, with a savory flavor, and a pleasant texture. Good ratio of meat to rice. "Fire and Ice Pickles" were sweet and spicy - delightful. read more

We tried this place last night when we were in the area. There were a bunch of people on the deck/patio so we thought it would be good. Their drinks must be their selling point. As you can see in the menu photos, they don't have much food to offer. We ordered: 1 dozen Tamales 1 Boudin 1 Taco Soup 1 Gringo Pie The tamales were ok. They only have one type; beef. Considering this is what they're known for, I'd expect them to have more options, and I'd expect them to be amazing. The boudin is naturally not made there. It was fine, and the pickles were better than I expected. The taco soup really was decent for a restaurant. While not as good as what we make at home, it is some of the better restaurant taco soup I've had. We added salt and pepper, but it could have used a little garlic. The cornbread quarter that came with it was decent as well. Little greasy, but it's just due to the ingredients. The gringo pie could have used more flavor. We added salt and pepper, but it still lacked something. If we were in the area again then we might consider eating here, but we wouldn't go out of our way. read more

Good food great patio. when we go to Natchez we always stop by. They have good margaritas also.

We went to Natchez this past weekend. Of course, there was the "must do" stop at Fat Mama's! I got a dozen tamales which were absolutely delicious! I'd missed my tamales. No way could I eat all of them at one time, so I had the other six for lunch on Saturday! Ha! If you are in the Natchez area, I highly recommend stopping by this cute little place. They ARE serving inside during this COVID-19 mess, but also have outdoor seating. If you don't want to do that, they even have a drive-thru window! Either way, stop by and give them a try! read more

I was visiting Natchez and had an opportunity to stop by this restaurant. The first lady that took my order was super friendly - nothing out of the ordinary, but friendly non the less. When I went to place an additional order, the second cashier - a younger girl - was extremely rude. She did everything she could to not acknowledge I was standing almost right in front of her with my card in hand. She then even started to mumble under her breath when I made my way, only 2 steps, to her register. The most frustrating part was she took the order of the guy standing directly behind me while I was standing there waiting. It's a really nice restaurant with awesome drinks, but some of their staff are extremely unprofessional. It was a really unfortunate situation because I will now probably never return. read more

This place has got a great vibe. We sat outside on a 90 degree day and tried the tamales. We started with a 1/2 dozen but they were so good we went back for another 1/2! The workers were lovely and fun. We also tried the fire & ice pickles. We loved them so much we bought some for us and some for gifts. Would definitely try this place again! read more
