Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken - Soul Food Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The food and the drinks in this restaurant are top-tier. The service is great. The waitresses were very attentive. We visited on Saturday around 2:30 PM. It was a nice flow of customers so be patient. I wish the outside was cleaned up enough to sit outside on these sunny chilly days. The chairs and the tables were so dusty. The inside of the restaurant is clean and orderly, but the outside, which will be a hit in the summer has to be cleaned up. Our food was so good. We got food to go in the empty plate in our photos are Real my husband ate everything. The food is so good. read more

Large assortment of homemade items to choose from Spacious enough for large groups Service was helpful Okra was crispy! The Shrimp was so delicious. The seasoning was perfect on every item I ordered. Cabbage had big chunks of smoked turkey. The dressing was perfect. Mmmm. All I need is a nap read more

New spot alert The place is very nice on the inside plenty of TVs and space good for a game day gathering with you and your friends. The waitress was nice, but didn't really seem like she knew a lot about the menu like maybe she was new. The food did take its time coming out , which was kind of frustrating seeing it was only the other two other people in the restaurant besides us but when it came out, everything looked pretty good. I apologize. I did not take any pictures. The fried chicken wings were good. The sweet potatoes were extremely good. The mac & cheese was OK, the cornbread was good. Shrimp could have passed on, the cabbage was good. The catfish strips were overcooked and very hard so I had to send those back which was not a problem. The waffle was hard. We had to send back which started out to be a problem because they tried to charge us full price for the waffle bill with waffle waffle, so we had to call the manager out and she was a little resistant at first, but we expressed that we were not gonna pay for anything that was an edible so she took a discount off the bill which Was ok. Overall, the food was good. The atmosphere was nice. Parking is very good. Location is not the best. Food 4/5 Parking 5/5 Location 3/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Staff 4/5 Return Factor 3/5 read more

Pros: Music was good. Service was OK. Place was nice and spacious. SHRIMP Were good Conz: OK, so , besides paying 15 bucks for five Shrimp (medium size) and one Waffle the PoP was flat. NO GRITS, NO DRESSING, NO BAKED BEANS. The Greens was salty, the so called Mac n Cheese had no taste very bland like its was cooked days before and re heated!!! No butter for my Waffle and put my Shrimp on my Waffle so I had a Spicy Waffle!!!​ Surp was watered down Yes we are definitely for supporting black businesses and its not easy running a restaurant read more

The food was amazing. We tried the catfish nuggets the shrimp and fried leg with the hot lemon pepper sauce. With a watermelon margarita. This stuff was on fire. Definitely recommend the s place if you like soul food. We will be back to try more yummies!! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming! The watermelon frozen margarita was lit! Must try and I love a good strong drink!! read more

,Finally Big Sid HAS COME BACK to "Google Reviews"!!! Big Sid says this... There's NOTHING like having "Food for your soul". There's something about a home cooked meal, that tends to make your troubles disappear for short time to allow you to reset. Momma's is that place. Big Sid has been coming to Momma's for years now, and Big Sid has NEVER been disappointed. On this visit, Big Sid did his usual: Catfish, Shrimp, Fried Chicken, Greens, Sweet Taters, Potato Salad, Hush Puppies, Cheese Sticks, corn bread, the "World Famous Mac N Cheese, with a pitcher of Southern Sweet Tea... Okay yeah and perhaps a side of fries with a smothered pork chop! "Don't judge me f**ker!!! WOOOOOOOOO! Yeah... Big Sid didn't eat it all, not the point. The point is it's FREAKING DELICIOUS and makes Kids of ALL ages happy. Here's how you know it's good; when you don't talk while you're eating, making yummy food noises, and dancing to make room for more deliciousness. You may have heard rumors about other "Soul Food" spots, but mark my word. As a Southern Raised Man, "There's no place like home"... Momma's is home. Thank you to Momma, Brandon, Deseree and the entire staff. Sincerely, Big Sid, Proud USMC Veteran read more

The atmosphere was so chill and definitely felt like family here! The service was warm and friendly and we got check-ins for food ETA and how we were doing throughout the visit without being "too much". The servers were all amazing and we love Layla (lila?).We got the shrimp entrée, the catfish meal and a side pork chop- which was the perfect combo for us. We loved the catfish and I particularly loved the fried porkchop (crispy and not dry). Shrimps ok, delish but id go back for more fried fish (any kind). We will definitely go back to try the chicken (what they're known for) and more sides! One visit is not enough!! read more

This was my second visit and definitely the last. Today's visit was blah, the sides tasted like they were prepared yesterday and were honestly lacking the freshness that I was hoping for. I had the pick two and ordered the shrimp and fish. Both of those were good. I will say it was 1 piece of fish cut into three small strips. I ordered greens and Mac, both were underwhelming. Others were also highly disappointed. I understand that every place can have an off day but all of the sides were off. The greens were cold, the mac was dry. I noticed the lady at the table next to us didn't finish her Mac either. I ordered two frozen margaritas and they were delicious. I ended up going to the bar to get my second drink and the bartender was really cool! Great drinks!! they played great music as well. One of my friends ordered the wings and said they were really good. The menu prices don't match what they actually charge. I ordered the peach cobbler to go and it was mainly peach, very little cobbler. The menu had it for $4.99, I was charged $6. When I asked they advised whoever did their menu had the pricing wrong. Well, that's not how this works, you have to change the price on the menu. I didn't argue over a dollar but write over it, put a sticker on top. You can't bamboozle people. My friends' food was $29 on the menu, and she was charged $31. Not a huge difference but still, very scammy. They did take $2 off her check as well as the sides she didn't eat. The main server was nice and super attentive. We were seated immediately and had our drinks pretty quick. We thought we were going for brunch but apparently they only do it on "some" saturdays but how is anyone supposed to know that. There was another server that brought boxes over and noticed my friend hadn't touched her food. She tried a little of everything and was highly disappointed. Her pork chops were cooked too hard, the greens were cold, fish was hard, Mac was underwhelming. The server came up and said "you must be stuffed" she told her she wasn't and that she hadn't touched her food. The server told her she'd take them off the bill because she barely touched them. My friend DID NOT ASK for that. She was going to fix them up when she got home. She packed them to go and the server came up and TOOK THEM OUT OF HER BAG. She didn't say anything when she came up, just took the food. How unprofessional. You're either going to throw it out or serve it to someone else. Why take them. They don't ever to worry about me coming back. read more

This is a fairly new establishment in our neighborhood that has some of the best Soul Food in Arizona. We finally had the opportunity to stop in for a Friday night dinner and we were definitely surprised. They have quite a few beers on draft Samuel Adam's being one of my favorites is one of them. I ordered the chicken and waffles now I'm not a fan of chicken so the only time I realistically eat it is with a waffle and honestly it's the best fried chicken that I've ever tasted so hats off to whomever is in that kitchen frying up that yummy crispy goodness. The waffle wasn't my favorite but the chicken made up for it . The batter of the waffle was a little too sweet considering that it had powdered sugar dusted on top of it. My boyfriend had the fish, shrimp and fries now that was really good. The fish had a light taste to it so it wasn't by any means super fishy on the taste and the shrimp wasn't over battered it came with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce we really enjoyed our food alot. They have a nice outdoor patio to sit outside during the cooler season, a pool table indoors to shoot some pool while you eat and drink and the staff is super personal and friendly. Honestly I'd give this place more than 5 stars if given the opportunity. Oh and I should mention this place is set up for a bigger party than just 2 so call ahead. read more

Great service! Great food! The restaurant is bigger inside than it looks on the outside. Great atmosphere. I highly recommend the catfish! I asked two of the ladies working there what they would recommend as sides. One said spaghetti and another said coleslaw. Both were excellent! everyone was very friendly, I can't wait to go back! read more

The location a little hard to get to but they do have a nice parking lot.The staff was very lovely.The place was clean.Unfortunately, the fish was overfried.In addition, for seventeen dollars, I got one piece of fish cut into three parts, and five shrimp and a ton of fries.The flavor was really well.But once the fish got cold, it was almost unedible.It was too hard read more

Went to review this soulful establishment. The catfish and shrimp were my favorite food items. I was happy to see that they did in fact have some sweet tea on the menu, which in my opinion makes southern cuisine come together. I will recommend and come back here for the amazing comfort food and kindness of the owners. read more

The outside could turn some away but when you cross through the doors the place is awesome. Lots of TVs for the upcoming football season and great food to match. We had some chicken and I had the catfish strips (cause I love a good fried catfish). For the sides we had Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, cabbage and potato salad. Everything was delicious but service was a little slow mostly cause our waitress, Marissa, was also the bartender, so we understood the reason. You did great with everything you had to cover! We also had a live band playing some great hits so we didn't mind the wait. We will definitely be back and hopefully the next time is just as good. read more

My wife and I were looking for a spot for lunch and we passed this place on main st. We were immediately sat and given menus. One side of the menu had a full list of drinks. The bar looked empty with not a bottle in sight, so I settled for a sweet tea. They didn't have any sweet tea despite it on the menu. We just took water. We were brought a bottle of water each. I ordered the catfish nuggets and fries. For an extra $1.25 the menu said you could get the fries tossed on any sauce. I chose the hot lemon pepper sauce. Then I added on a side of fried okra. I didnt really want the fries, I'd rather have a choice of side but that's OK. My wife got greens and loaded fries. We waited over an hour for our food. No explanations. No updates. We waited as they brought food out one table at a time. We debated on leaving. They need to communicate with their customers. Finally the food arrives and the fries have no sauce and there's no okra. I asked the waiter for some hot sauce, the hot lemon pepper sauce, and my okra. He ran off and came back with a plastic cup of ranks red hot with lemon pepper seasoning and gave me the option to just pour it on or the could toss it. I took the sauce to pour and asked for regular hot sauce. And my okra. He finally came back with okra close to the end of my meal but we never saw hot sauce. I just used the ranks red hot for my cat fish. The cat fish on its own was ok. My wife's greens were the saddest greens. They tasted canned. No ham hock or nothing in them. No malt vinar or hot sauce to put on them. Her loaded fries were just fries with cheese whiz, ranch, and canned Jalapeño. I have no idea who this took so long or cost so much. By far one of the worst experiences we've had dining out. read more

We love the original location, it never missed on anything my husband and I ordered. We live closer to this new location and we've tried it on two separate locations. It's not the same, I ordered catfish filets, which was on point and fried well. I also ordered two sides, Mac n cheese and greens. The greens taste like nothing but vinegar and were flavorless, hot sauce didn't help. I usually enjoy these because they don't use pork in them. The Mac n cheese was better than last time I ordered it, last time it was salty and was not edible. I ordered to go and live 30 min away, so going back isn't an option. I may have to drive to the other location or just not order sides again. read more

Went this weekend. And lorddd where do I start. Got there around 11. Only two waitresses between the tables and the bar. The menu is OVERWHELMING. It's like 327 items to choose from not to mention the combos are over priced. If you do the math it's cheaper to order the items individually! And not to mention quite a few items on the menu tha were not even available. Also it took 47 minutes bites from the time we ordered to receive our food. The beans needed to be mixed cause top was cold bottom was hott. And my hott wings were like warm so I'm sure those were probably done first and sat there. And then took three times asking for boxes so we could leave to the point we almost grabbed the box our self and she gonna walk by and say oh I'll grab it for you like ma'am. We been asking greens also needed more vinegar. But everything else was okay. Probably would not be back. read more

Very friendly place with fresh food. Ordered catfish, chicken wings, hush puppies, and a beer. Though menu mentions draft beers, none was available. Prices seemed a bit high, but food arrived hot, clearly made to order. Again, everyone I encountered was cheerful and welcoming (which stood out in this visit). Music was nice. The restaurant is a solid addition to the neighborhood. Other customers seemed happy to be there too. read more

First time and will be back. Loved the freshness of the food. I ordered the 4 price chicken with 2 sides; cabbage and mac and cheese with a side of Momma sauce. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. The condiments are the perfect size and fresh-except Franks, bottled sauce. I love the service, everyone checked the dining room to ensure satisfaction, ESPECIALLY Momma! The drinks were very good. The dining area is very fun and they let you know all events coming in the future in the future on the receipt. ***Bonus-her logo is on the receipt**. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

If I could give it a minus 10 I would. First time, short of staff and waited one hour, only 8 people in the restaurant. We left. Today we went by around 3:50pm. Closed and no hours poste. Done forever. read more

The chicken was hot and crunchy. I liked the flavor, not too strong. Some parts were a bit dry. But overall, still good. Would eat again.

The ambiance in this place was definitely worth the visit, the music was off the chain and worthy of a DJ's thumbs up!! Loved the service, was very helpful in every way, felt like I was back home!! The food was off the chain, loved the sides and the portions really filling. Will definitely come back when I'm back in Mesa!!! read more

First, bring your ear plugs because they blast the music SO loud you can't think. Still looks like a sports bar, not a restaurant. They don't actually have chicken, but chicken wings or chicken tenders. They said they have homemade mashed potatoes but they must make them with water because they weren't creamy nice mashed potatoes. Wait staff left a lot to be desired. Wanted to try a new place but too bad I won't go back read more

I have never had a better soul food restaurant in Arizona than this. The service is amazing. I love Miss Desiree. Miss Desiree is amazing. She's fantastic and she is just on point with everything. I order a la carte OK and I get a lot of things off the menu and the mac & cheese is to die for. The mac & cheese is very cheesy flavorful it's delicious and mac & cheese is hard to get that much flavoring. I also get the cornbread. The cornbread is amazing. It's sweet as buttery. It's delicious. The catfish and fried chicken and fried and smothered pork chops are amazing and the flavor is just on another world. I'm serious when I say everytime I come here I damn near shed a tear with how good it is. The desserts are delicious. The banana pudding has actual bananas and the cobbler has real peaches and no canned stuff. It's the absolute best. The breading isn't heaving and it's light and crunchy. Always have left overs and always worth the price. read more
