I hate doing this to black owned businesses but I have to be honest. For $30 I was not satisfied at all. I'd heart good things about this place and it did not live up to the hype! The meat really did taste as if it was refried or the grease was old. Definitely wasn't fresh. The macaroni and cheese was just noodles and cheese, no flavor. The yams were stringy. The turkey collards were the only thing I enjoyed. The "cake" was honestly a mini portion of a store bought pound cake. I felt totally ripped off when I could've dinned in elsewhere for a completely different experience for $30. The staff was very nonchalant when I introduced myself as a first time customer asking for suggestions. There aren't many designated soul food places in Raleigh and I feel like this is totally a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate because I drove almost 30 min each way just for them. read more

I kept seeing their fliers all around my job, so I decided to give them a shot. I have been craving candied yams for quite some time & I never got the kind I loved...with the syrup...sweet and delicious!!! I have finally got what I needed here!!! Their candied yams are DELICIOUS. I actually got their food 2 days in a row. Lol. The wingettes were not really fresh the first night & neither were the shrimp. I let that go because the yams made up for it. The second night I got a fish sandwich. It was fresh. My son liked their Mac-n-cheese. I will definitely go back! read more

From the pictures and reviews on Facebook I thought I was in for a real treat. I ordered the two meat combo with fried fish and fried chicken. My sides were macaroni and cheese and collard greens. All plates come with a slice of lemon cake. My total was $15. The food was just okay for me. The fish had no taste oh, I would rate it a 5. The Fried Chicken was okay but it was better with the hot sauce; I would rate it a 6. The mac and cheese was the best; I would rate it an eight. The collard greens were a little bland for my taste; I would rate it at 6. read more

Happy 4th of July! I saw ad for this food truck and you know me I'm all in to try sum Soul Food. I got the under the sea for my sister and rib/chicken meal for moi with extra collards. I took shots of her dish with envy I can no longer eat any seafood sadly, cuz her shrimp looked soooooo good, big light battered and fried. Sides were spot on yams and greens plus a slice of cake. These entrees took me back to my youth helping sell plates for church. It was a must that I devour ribs on this holiday and I was so pleased with my food. I dove in first to those succulent collards omg macncheese......my fingers were slathered in rib juice and sauce. Oh yes I so pigged out with no remorse at all. I shall be back and telling all my Yelpers check out this delight. read more

Great: mac and cheese, lemonade Good: potato salad, yams Bad: chicken - was barely done, uneven breading and no crispness ribs - not fall of the bone; tough, chewy, sauce was good though slice of cake - we ordered two meals for $40 plus have a tip. WE DID NOT RECEIVE OUR CAKE SLICES!!!! Wait time for take-out: 20 minutes but our food wasn't hot read more

My co-worker and I were so excited to find some soul food in the Raleigh area, so when we saw the advertisement for mama soul food on Facebook, we couldn't wait for our lunch break to try it. It was a 10 min drive to the food truck. We both order the fish plate, which came with two sides. I order Greens and potato salad, and he ordered greens and macaroni and cheese. They wrapped both plates up, and we drove back to work. As I open the plate, I can tell that the potato salad look generic and was store bought, but I decided to try it. As I bit into it.... yup, it was; there was nothing freshly made about it. I went over to the fish, and YUCK; it was disgusting. It was very bland. There was hardly any season on it, and I it had a terrible fishy taste. I looked over at my co-worker and saw his face as he picked through the fish. I asked him how did he like it, and he said, "This crap is disgusting." I asked him how was the macaroni and cheese, and he said it tastes worst than Velveeta store-bought. We both decided it was best to not finish our food in fear we might have to make a emergency visit to the stall at work. This food definitely needs an overhaul and NEED to use fresh ingredients. This was definitely NOT food for the SOUL. read more

Just bad food. Did not seem sanitary at all. I would Not return and certainly would not recommend them. read more

Wow. I don't even know if I have a picture to show you. I may need to go back and get more to get a pic. Haha It was fantastic. The ribs were slow-cooked and tender with flavor that went through the meat to the bone. The sweet potato was caramelized and decadent like a dessert. The macaroni and cheese was very cheesy and definitely American (I am Caribbean so I have a different way of our macaroni and cheese). The fried chicken was crispy and crunchy (Remember all crunch will disappear if microwaved but it is still delicious). I will update once I taste the potato salad and collard greens. The cake they give you is a typical add-on so don't get annoyed if you get a sliver. You are so loaded up on carbs from the macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, breading on the chicken and the small Hawaiian roll that... your cholesterol will thank you for not adding on a hunk of cake. That lemon cake was made correctly though even if it reminded me of a slice of Betty Crocker cake. :) The stars of these dishes are the food! Sunday it was open over on Millbrook with proceeds heading to the TCC ministry. I feel like I did something great for mind, body and spirit. Yum!!! read more

It was good while It lasted. just about everything they cooked was good. They are now permanently closed

Tried something new today! I've heard about it, now I get to try it for myself! #MommasSoulFood. Chicken was fresh, hot, and crisp. Baked mac and cheese was yummy. Collard greens were a little salty. Pound cake was delicious. I recommend! read more

Had been hearing a lot of buzz about this food truck, so I was finally able to swing by and pick up a plate. Their menu consists of fried chicken, baked chicken, BBQ ribs, fried shrimp and fried fish. For their sides you can choose from macaroni and cheese, candied yams, collard greens and potato salad. You can also get a fish or chicken sandwich. Each plate comes with a dessert. When I tell you all this food was amazing, it was absolutely delicious! Had their BBQ ribs, mac and cheese and collard greens. Everything was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. They definitely have some soul food cooking Momma's in that truck cooking the food! read more

Momma's Soul Food - Bbq ribs, Mac and cheese and collard greens - Food Trucks Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My family spent a total of 63.00 on 5 plates of what we thought would be good sould food. The pics and hype of this place are very deceiving. The service was quick but the food was honesly horrible. The only fried chicken they have fried chicken legs or winglets which u have to drown in hot sauce for it to taste like something. The fried fish was old and hard. Shrimp was just ok. The potatoe salad is not home made, def low grade store bought. The collards were tasteless and not seasoned. Best thing in the plate was the roll. Totally not worth the prices. I was highly disappointed because we were all excited to try this place. I try to support my people but don't plan to return to this food truck site unfortunately. read more

Got the mamma's fried chicken. It's different. The chicken was circumcised! It's got less grease than your usual fried chicken. Is it better? I'd say it's unique. But they did put a lot of effort into these chicken to make them this way. read more

For weeks, I have been driving by their current location as I head home from work. We were out running errands today & planned it so this could be our last stop. Service was quick and efficient from the friendly crew. The car smelled so good on the drive home. G & B both got the fried chicken with Mac-n-cheese and potato salad. I got fried shrimp with Mac-n-cheese and candied yams. I meant to try the collard greens, but my sun addled brain didn't cooperate. Sorry, no photos as nobody could wait to eat. The food was great, home style soul food with large portions : I have lunch for tomorrow & the boys might be full until morning ;) The lemon pound cake was a delicious end to a great meal. We will be back! read more

The seasoning on the crab boil was great, but you can tell the crab legs sat in water all day. This is one menu item I wont try again unless it's as soon as they open. I have tried several other items that were excellent and have kept me going back such as the fried fish, mac and cheese and potato salad. read more

Finally got around to trying this food truck, undecided if I will be returning. Feel it's a little pricey for the quality. Had the ribs and chicken with collards and mac and cheese. The ribs were good, chicken was not crispy as I expected and when I say the legs were huge (I never saw one that large), I prefer white meat but not given the option. The mac and cheese was really good but the collards were salty and too many large stems, my husband had the yams said they were good and I would prefer corn bread to a roll. The cake was good but I could do without it. Anyway try for yourself as we all have different taste read more

I want to start by saying that as a person of color, I respect and encourage black owned businesses. However, this one in particular doesn't have the best customer service. I have only really tried there Mac n cheese and let me tell you, they use way too much god damn cheese! It's as if they are over doing the cheese to make up for lack of real flavor, that's why I give 2 stars read more

I love Momma's! The food is always hot and fresh. Their macaroni and cheese is sooooooooooo good and their yams make you want to stomp your foot! Their fried chicken, shrimp and fish is always fresh and seasoned to perfection. I love that I can now order online. This is the only soul food place I go to now. read more

Yesterday my husband and I decided to eat at Momma's the food was not good at all I ordered chicken it was lukewarm and he got the shrimp plate which he wasted money on the shrimp smelled very fishy, the collard greens tasted like they been sitting in water and the potato salad was not fit to eat. I like to support Black Businesses but you got TO DO BETTER! read more

Toooo salty and the chicken looks like it has been shot up with hella steroids. The chicken tastes stale at times because it sits under that damn hot lamp for so long and the every time I ate there my chicken was always pink in the middle. Never eat there again. read more

IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD. This place is a fucking joke, got a chicken sandwich combo with Mac n cheese and candid yams. The chicken sandwich is 3 baked chicken legs with pieces of loaf bread that were soggy. The chicken had no seasoning on it at all. The only okay thing about it were the sides. Highly wouldn't recommend this place. Gordon Ramsay would cuss these people out for trying to pass off this pathetic prison food as "soul food." read more

Great food and great prices. If your in Raleigh and you're craving soul food this is the place to get it from

Tried them for first time this afternoon (at Millbrook and Atlantic). First look seemed just a little pricey, but food trucks usually are. With the friendly staff and menu, I still wanted to try the food. The portions were generous so it turned out not to be pricey but a pretty good value. The kids and I tried the chicken, shrimp, and fish (all fried). All were excellent. I will definitely return and try the ribs. Highly recommended. read more

Food is always delicious. It's a bit of a wait but worth every minute. Wish they had an restaurant. My fav are the greens!

I have been following their FB page for a while now, plotting on the moment when I will satisfy my taste buds. I waited for the PERFECT opportunity when they were stationed near my Job on Atlantic. OK- let's get to it. I ordered the fried chicken (white meat- which cost 2 dollars more, but I was ok with that!) I asked which pieces of chicken, and I was told it would be wings or 2 chicken breast. I specified that I wanted one of each and the server agreed. I also ordered the mac and cheese along with collards. OK- I get my food, I have 2 chicken breast FILETS!! What in the world? Not to mention, they weren't fresh. It was so obvious they were sitting under a warmer for some time(like at least an hour or 2.) And the mac and cheese looked store bought- to be fair it had a decent flavor, but the noodles were overcooked and I'm not sure what kind of cheese that was- definitely not baked. The collards were pretty dang good, fresh and homemade. Overall, that 14 dollars hurt my heart and the food hurt my mouth. I will not return- EVER!!!!! read more
