If you love to feel like you got some good ol' home cooking, this is the place! Also pretty inexpensive for great food!

Came upon this place on an auction pickup and was glad I did! This place was as down home and country as a place gets and served its purpose for me of giving me a little local flavor, something that I like to do when I go to outlying towns to pick up things I have bought at auctions. The service was fast and friendly. I had my drink order taken in less that 30 seconds of sitting down. My order was taken within 5 seconds of me laying my menu on the table. Attentive? I think so! I ordered southern for this meal...Chicken Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Green Beans , and Fried Okra. It was all really tasty and good. The dinner rolls it came with were freshly baked and ridiculously good. I would definitely repeat this place on future visits to Forney. read more

The down home cooking is a staple here. Its good food on most days, but I'm not sure what happened on this visit. I love the hospitality and attentiveness of the staff as it gives you the small time feel. I'll be back again for another try. read more

The best spot in Forney!!!! We love it here the food the waitresses are amazing!!!! Biscuits are delicious

I was hoping to have some home cooking comfort food but sadly it seemed as if the chicken and dumpling came straight out of the can :(. The greens were not edible very off taste, clearly from a can and with a hint of cinnamon? Wasn't for me. read more

Great food, family friendly ambiance, and the service is always above expectations. Love this place and will continue to come back :)

Not as fabulous as was anticipated: breakfast food should be amazing or I'll make it at home Very underwhelmed with food and service read more

Great service! Food was great!!! I will be back and try other dishes! A must have if you're in Forney!

it was really really good but they served very little egg.. but the service was really nice and will probably be coming again but not soon.

Lunch at Mama's Daughter's was over the top good. We had CFS and fried chicken. Food came out fast and hot. Service was excellent too. Highly recommended. While we didn't have breakfast, what we saw looked very good. read more

This is a fun, small town diner. Food is good at a very fair price. Parking is easy.

We absolutely love it here! The staff recognizes us and makes sure to take care of us. The pancakes are perfect every time.

I have always enjoyed this restaurant. And it is the same as it was before Covid. Great food and service!.

The breakfast is pretty good. It's probably the best thing on the menu. I haven't tried any lunch or dinner items.

Came in for "linner" at around 2:30pm. We ordered meatloaf, fried chicken, greens, mashed potatoes, fried okra, and a couple desserts. The food was well seasoned and delicious. Thulis place may not look like much but the food came out lickity-split! The wait staff was genuinely warm and polite. Great down-home southern cooking! read more

The food quality is declining both in taste and serving size was very disappointed with the breakfast

"I think that the restaurant was very good" according to my 13 year old nephew. He went on to write: "The roasted beef was very good. The service was great! Our waiter Cody was very friendly. Also the outside of the restaurant looked very classy, but not as cool as the inside of the restaurant." In my opinion: Great southern food. Great ambiance. A very fun atmosphere in this quaint diner. I had chicken fried steak for the first time. I don't know still why it's "chicken fried" as there is no chicken in it. Who cares? It was delicious! Daughter ordered the chicken fried chicken. Also yummy! As we're the mashed potatoes, corn bread, turnip and fried okra sides. Oh so good. Glad I had an opportunity to eat some yummy Southern cooking at this quaint diner. read more

Two words...the BISCUITS!! If you're looking for a family owned business, with friendly customer service, and biscuits to die for....eat here!!! read more

Particularly disappointed in this place. Food is usually really good. Chicken fried steak was obviously left in the fryer way too long. The meet was so overcooked it has shriveled up in to nothing more than shoe leather. The white gravy had been on the steam table so long it was almost brown. Brother in law got a cheeseburger burger and it was way over cooked as well. I hope mama whips her daughters in to shape read more

This place is a gem in Old Forney. Waitress was very friendly and food was tasty. Fast service and leaves you satisfied ready for a nap. Cute atmosphere, we really enjoyed this place. Great job..we wil be back read more

Food was cold, went on a Sunday. The staff was nice though. My friend and i both ordered the same entree and both our sides were cold.

We really liked this restaurant, when we first started going there about a year ago. We ate there occasionally, but I noticed the service started going downhill a little bit. When the Covid hit, of course it was closed. When they started serving customers again, we tried supporting local businesses. About two weeks ago, we stopped in for breakfast. Three hours later, after eating there, my stomach started to hurt. By the middle of the night, I was throwing up, and I did not stop throwing up for two days. I went to the doctor, and they ruled out anything flu related. I believe I had food poisoning from this place, because I had nothing in the morning but a bowl of cereal. I'm really surprised and upset. This was a terrible time for myself. I know food poisoning is difficult to prove, but this is what happened. This is the most expensive meal I've had in a long time with the doctor bill. I wish I never eaten there. read more

Good home cooked food and good service. Portions are large . We always need take out boxes

I love this place; decor is so entertaining. As a mom, I just felt very seen. The entire diner is a vibe, feels like I stepped into a movie with a diner scene where every one knows each other and is super friendly in a small town with regulars... except that's the REALITY. Such a gem in downtown Forney, we've decided to make it a regular tradition to have a family brunch date at Mamas. Chicken tenders are FIRE. Service was amazing. read more

Great place to get good ole fashion food. And they have a great Buffalo chicken sandwich also!

Mammas is always great.But we especially enjoy the large fresh breakfast you can get here. Eggs are always fresh and delish and service is always top notch. read more

The service was great nice place to take the family and the food was hot and fresh ... loved the chicken fried steak !!!

great place to get a bite. It's always super busy though so don't go if you're going to be a Karen about the wait time or about the service.

I want to like this place, I really do. It's in a great location, has plenty of seating and the people who work there are very nice. But the food is just bland every time we go. We had lunch Sunday after church and immediately remembered why we rarely eat here. I'm not a person that ever adds extra salt to my food. I don't really care for salt. So many times, food tastes too salty to me the way it's made in restaurants. But not here. The food is noticeably bland. I had chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and fried okra. The mashed potatoes and chicken were super bland and needed some salt. The gravy was OK. The fried okra was also OK. My kids had pancakes and those were fine but my husband's meal was bland as well. They had a good crowd after church and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table so I guess other people like their food, but I just always find it a little disappointing. read more

Their spicy chicken sandwich is good! I was a little nervous on trying it but glad I did!

This place is not Service Animal friendly. I have a small Service Animal that is certified. he normally stays tethered to me. because of the heat, I do not force him to stay in the pouch, but hold him instead. I do keep my prescription and my pouch with me in the car, but his patch is still on his harness. They wanted me to put him on the floor. I explained that he doesn't go on the floor. (he's 5lbs) and he needed to stay near my chest. He is trained at restaurants to either lay beside me or lay across my lap while we are there. Management said it was a health code thing (which doesn't apply to service animals.) and that he would have to sit on the floor or go outside. We were hungry, and I didn't feel like arguing, so we ordered to go. We eat out often, and while some places have been skeptical at first, we have had managers and wait staff comment on our way out at how surprised they were that he really did what he was supposed to do. We will continue to frequent those restaurants and hope that this restaurants' management educates themselves a little more. read more

Best biscuits ever....and that's saying a lot from me this southern girl who is very picky about biscuits. The kids loved the chicken and waffles and the hubs loved it all. Highly recommend! read more

This was an amazing surprise! I had the special #2, French toast, ham and eggs. I had to order the cinnamon roll and it's probably the best one I've ever had. I'm trying hard to not leave it behind. read more
