Chili Cheese Fries
Jenn H.

Mama's Kitchen might be a small kitchen, in the cut, inside of a liquor store, but let me tell you...it is sooo dang good! My husband & I have tried everything on the menu and you can't go wrong with any of it. The chicken is always crispy crunchy but so moist and juicy on the inside, the fish is just as good. Don't sleep on the chili cheese fries either. Their portions are huge, but priced just right! Only got a pic of the chili cheese fries, because everyone tore up the chicken before I could get a pic.

Half red & green chilaquiles delicious

The best chilaquiles ever red or green l and my wife love this place even the owners are super friendly and they give you Fry's Bean,s before you order come out love it

Wonton with Szechuan Sauce
Daniel C.

First time to Mama's kitchen, small restaurant with usually an hour wait. The restaurant has modern setting with lots nice glass and silver decor. It was just me and my wife and we ordered wonton in Szechuan sauce, tantan noodles, crispy beef and fried rice. The wonton was very tasty with just a dash of spice. Tantan noodles was a little soggy for me and didn't care for it. The crispy beef had a good sweat marination. Overall, the portions aren't very big, but descent meal.

My family and I were in Vegas for my husbands birthday we wanted some soul food.... I googled and found this place. It's 20 minutes from the strip and a small little family owned place and omg we loved it. The cook greeted us as we walked in. The food was fresh and delicious! Make sure you try the "stupid fries" they were bomb asf!!! I didn't get to take a picture because we smashed them as soon as they came out! We also tried the catfish that was yummy. The shrimp and grits were really good. The fried chicken is good and crispy, I love fried chicken. The kids loved the koolaid. The prices were decent. If you're in Vegas definitely try this place out! Only thing I didn't like is we had to wait over an hour for our food because there is only one cook and there was about 7 of us... but hey it was fresh!

The cheeseburger was sent back twice. Very undercooked. The tuna melt came out cold. Wouldn't come back. Wanted to like this place, nope.

So yelp to the rescue and here we are at Darla's We happened to be there during a slow day which we got seated right away. It gets busy here on regular days per other reviews fyi. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food Catfish dinner plate 5/5 the batter was just right as some soul food (southern Cajun) joints the batter is on the salty side. Darla's was on point flavorful and the catfish was cooked perfectly. Red beans and rice 5/5 and the sweet potato's (yams) fresh and sweet! Over all experience on a first time visit was a 5/5 when I'm back in Vegas this will be a must stop! They have TV's so watching the games was coo there! Place was clean and taken care of no complaints! Best to hit them up on a weekday as it does get busy and wait time will be Iong.

The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, and the overall experience was excellent.

The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. There are lovely murals on all the walls and the music is definitely a chill vibe! I ordered the ox tail meal. It came with 2 sides, so I ordered yams and Mac n cheese. I also got cornbread to try. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. It was decadent and flavorful. My husband had steak and shrimp with a side of red beans and rice and broccoli. He said he really liked the flavor. And he was satisfied with the portion size. He has a never ending appetite. Haha My daughter got the loaded potato with chicken. We were surprised by the size! It was enormous!! And my 9 year old wants to emphasize that this is her new favorite food. We ended the meal with a banana pudding. It was the perfect end to our dinner. All in all, Tastebudz is a great place to come and eat! Definitely recommend!!

Tried their Onolicious food at the Full Moon Market event happened in Kapolei residence inn. T'was a fun night at least and glad I found a food truck that caught my tummy's attention. So I let myself immerse with other people who are in line to order something. FOOD. Chicken BBQ - smoky and flavorful. Meat is tender & cook right. The sauce is seasoned right & literally the taste of the bbq flavor is there. Overall texture is appetizing. Spare Ribs - savory flavor but meat is a bit overcooked and dry. I care less on the potato salad as well. Both lunch plate has a bed of rice (which in my opinion ain't cook enough) and tossed salad (they should call it tossed spinach unless they put other fresh veggies in that way it can be call salad). Overall t'was a good dinner. Lunch plates can be shared with other person as portions are hefty. With the service they deliver & the food they serve, it's pretty good and will recommend you folkx to try their kines! Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!

I wanted to try something different and decided to try Mama's Island Flava a try this time. This time around, I came late to the event so when I went up to order, they did not have my first choice so the nice lady who helped me informed me that the only thing they had left was their bbq chicken and I thing a smothered pork dish. I decided to go with their bbq chicken and I am glad that whatever I wanted to order ran out because this bbq chicken plate was the bomb. It literally was high piled with cut up bbq chicken drizzled in bbq sauce. It was so much food that I was not able to eat the whole plate that night and had to save some for later and then some. The chicken was moist and had nice bbq charing. Would definitely get this plate again when I attend the next What the Truck. Highly recommend!

I cant recommend this place enough…read more Well worth the wait. The costs are a bit high, but it's not obscene for the quality of the food. Our server was kind, helpful, attentive, and just everything you look for in a server. We waited about 20 minutes to be sat, but you'd expect that at a breakfast place at breakfast time. No concern there. I ordere chicken fried steak- amazing, gritz bites - double amazing, tried my husbands sweet potato waffle - triple amazing! The mac and cheese was just fine. I would easily go back again just got the chicken fried steak, sweet potato waffle, or gritz bites. The ambiance is quite nice. Theres a table dedicated to the matriarch of the establishment, which really adds to the southern, home cooked vibes. The to go counter was busy the whole time we sat, but they seemed to move quickly. We were close enough to the door to hear the hostess telling people they were running out of certain items and that the would had increased to 30 or 40 minutes. Be sure to get there early to not miss out. Everyone was friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Can't ask for anything else.

Gritz Café Review…read more "The Day Vegas Introduced Us to Catfish, Sweet Potato Waffles... and a Missing Collard Green Mystery." June 17, 2026 -- the day Tiffany got insider intel from a Vegas local who told her, "You HAVE to try Gritz Café."That was all she needed to hear. She told me, I checked my Las Vegas Yelp food list, and sure enough -- Gritz Café was already saved. Destiny. Since Tiffany was already near the restaurant and I was still at the hotel, I ordered online. We couldn't enjoy the dine‑in experience this time, but we're saving that for the sequel. The Orders Tiffany went with one of her go‑to comfort dishes: Biscuit & Gravy Scrambled egg hard Potatoes with fried onions I saw Catfish on the menu and immediately felt spiritually connected. I ordered The Mississippi: 3 fried catfish pieces (grilled next time) Collard greens Steamed mixed vegetables Sweet Potato Waffle Extra tartar sauce Extra syrup Then came the hardest part: waiting for Tiffany and the food.I'm a smart husband, so I won't say which one I was more excited for. The Arrival... and the Plot Twist Tiffany arrived with the food, we unpacked everything, and immediately noticed two things missing: My collard greens Her scrambled egg Vegas giveth, Vegas taketh away. Tiffany's Biscuit & Gravy She said it was outstanding, even with the twist:The sausage was cut into pieces and placed on top instead of mixed in.Different, but delicious.Only the missing egg kept it from perfection. My Catfish & Waffle Combo The catfish wasn't as big or thick as the ones I get back home, but the flavor was outstanding -- seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Sweet Potato Waffle?A revelation.Perfect size, perfect thickness, perfect flavor.I'm now a believer. The steamed vegetables were... vegetables.They served their purpose and made me feel like I made at least one healthy decision. But I was really looking forward to those collard greens. Customer Service Redemption Tiffany called the restaurant and was transferred to the manager, Olivia.She was extremely apologetic and assured us the refund would hit my card by the end of the day.(At the time of this writing, it hasn't shown up yet -- but we're giving Vegas grace.) Final Verdict Even with the missing items, the food was delicious, the flavors were on point, and the service recovery was handled well. We're excited to return -- in person -- on our next Vegas trip.Because Gritz Café deserves a proper dine‑in moment.
