Sometimes the most frustrating restaurant experiences aren't the terrible ones…read more They're the ones that are so close to being really good. That's how I felt about Mama's Chicken Kitchen. I came in with high expectations. The restaurant has strong reviews, it's part of the Johnson Family of restaurants, and I've enjoyed several of their other establishments over the years. So I walked in expecting a meal that would have me planning a return visit before I even paid the check. What I got instead was one of the strangest cases of missing seasoning I've encountered in quite some time. Let's start with the positives. The people here are genuinely nice. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and seemed to care about providing a good experience. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting. And the kitchen clearly knows how to cook food. The fried chicken was cooked beautifully. Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Exactly the texture you're hoping for when you order Southern fried chicken. The problem? The seasoning apparently called in sick. This chicken had all the flavor intensity of a weather report. No noticeable salt. No spice. No personality. It tasted like the chef had just completed community service at a nursing home and was legally prohibited from possessing a salt shaker. My piece of chicken was juicy and cooked properly. Unfortunately, my wife's chicken breast was noticeably dry, which didn't help matters. Then came the fried pickles. No seasoning. Chicken and dumplings. No seasoning. Coleslaw. Tasteless. At one point I started wondering if there had been some sort of building-wide seasoning shortage that nobody had told us about. The frustrating part is that none of the food was poorly cooked. Quite the opposite. The techniques were there. The textures were there. The execution was there. It just felt like someone got everything ready and forgot the final, critical step of making the food taste like something. This is a restaurant with good people, a pleasant atmosphere, and a kitchen that clearly knows how to cook. Now they just need to introduce their food to salt, pepper, and a few of their seasoning friends. Three stars. Because the potential is absolutely there. The flavor just never showed up for work.

Disco Chicken proves the days of dry, grainy, gritty gluten free fare is over!!!! The biscuits are the Star, IMO, along with the donuts.

I will definitely be back but maybe on a slightly less busy day. The parking was insane as there was a World Cup match on the evening of our visit. So glad the food hall is popular though, but just be aware of local events. You might get relegated to parking at the top of the hill and have to walk down (and then back up).

It is gluten free with no chance of cross contamination. I got the chicken biscuit and a xul beer for my lunch. The biscuit was hot and delicious. The chicken? Steaming , moist, perfect!

So it's not an intimate quiet place but for when that doesn't matter it's perfect. Employees were friendly, fast and efficient. This is a MUST try whether you are gluten free or not!

I ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, a donut, and some plain biscuits to take home with me. Very ho hum and disappointing on all three items.

The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was the best thing I ordered and even I struggled to get through all the herbs in the egg. (It is not necessary to taste like like the front yard).

We ordered the Pimento Cheese Chicken BLT Sandwich (+ Sweet Potato Casserole) and the Rocky's Royale w/ Cheese Sandwich (+ Pickles). The "sandwich" aspect of both meals took away from the shining star - which was the chicken. The pieces of bread just got in the way and made it harder to eat - not to mention that the bread was cold - not toasted. We both ordered "hot" - which when you ate the chicken itself - had such a nice kick. Next time - skip the sandwich aspect and just get the hot chicken + side of pickles. The sweet potato casserole was fine - but it's the chicken you want to write home about. Staff-wise / ordering / atmosphere was great. Everyone was very helpful and had it not been raining - we would have sat on the large outdoor patio.
