    Chicken,egg and cheese biscuit
    Robin B.

    The place feels like home and the service and food are both amazing. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    Sausage,cheese &egg biscuits
    Bobby B.

    First of all this is a biscuit shop so if you wanted traditional breakfast this is not it . Not a keto friendly stop . This remind me of the hotel breakfast at holiday in on steroids. I had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, it was ok the staff was real friendly. Place was clean and the assortment of bake goods was great. Quiet nice spot . I can tell this is a spot for regulars. Had that "cheers" vibe Norm !!!!!

    Sweet Mama's is a St. Simons Island tradition. I was referred to this restaurant by one of my good friends whose wife's family is from St. Simons. The recommendation was spot-on because the food I tried was delicious. I visited on a Saturday morning and the restaurant received a steady stream of customers, mostly locals with a lot of take-out orders. The restaurant can be hard to find if you don't know where to look. It's in the Winn-Dixie shopping center and it faces away from the street, so you won't see the restaurant until you drive into the parking lot and explore a little. If the 1627 Frederica Road address doesn't work for you, try 98 Retreat Plaza. This is a simple, casual, no frills restaurant. There isn't much to speak of when it comes to atmosphere or ambiance. The interior amounts to a single office-like, strip mall space with a glass display case for baked goods and pastries, an ordering/food prep counter, and a bunch of easily movable small tables in the dining area. Sweet Mama's is only open for breakfast and lunch, Monday-Saturday, 6:45am to 2:30pm. The menu consists of sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), muffins, buns, danishes, doughnuts, bagels, cookies, and cakes. They also have salads, a soup of the day, and housemade chili. Expect to spend anywhere from $2.50 to $4.50 for most breakfast items and $6.50 to $9.50 for most lunch items. I had a "Meat, Cheese & Egg Biscuit" ($4.50) and some Pork Pops ($0.60 each). The meat, cheese, and egg biscuit consisted of a flaky biscuit with a round sausage patty, a thin slice of cheese, and a thick egg patty. The egg wasn't prepared in typical egg breakfast sandwich fashion. It looked steamed (or something). The sandwich was fresh, delicious, and filling. The sausage meat was savory and the egg was light and fluffy. The Pork Pops are a Sweet Mama's signature item. They are small, almost bite-sized pieces of bread, sausage, bacon, and cheese. I saw customers ordering this by the boat load. Well, maybe not boat load, but plate load. 12 pops here, 12 pops there. They were tasty and addictive. At one point, the kitchen ran out of pops. I noticed some of the foods were reheated in a microwave prior to serving. Service is, for the most part, efficient. You pick up your order at the counter no matter if dining in or taking out. If on St. Simons Island, I recommend this joint.

    Our trip to St Simons would not have been complete without a stop at Sweet Mamas. The food was delicious. A nice hearty biscuit complete with butter and the fixings started us off. The Pork pops are what drew us there and they did not disappoint!!! Really delicious!!! But the topper to it all was the sweets. The cheese danish was amazing and the sticky buns were so good we couldn't stop at one. . Very delightful place. We will be back!!!

    Sweet Mama's has great small town vibes. The sweets are tasty and look homemade. AMANDA WAS THE SWEETEST! She was so intentional with her service and deserves a raise;) pax et bonum

    Try the pork pops-they are delicious right out of the oven. They have several other things to choose from but why get anything else..

We bought a few sammies: chicken salad was great, roast beef was delicious, pimento cheese was okay but could've benefited from something crunchy, and the turkey one was pretty good (we ordered a ham; this was labeled H but was actually turkey). Their selection of beverages was also great, clearly in line with what beach goers would want/need. Girl behind the counter was super sweet and helpful. We loved her. So why the four star review? There was a gentleman who was either the owner or manager. We asked about covid regulations and not only was he unfamiliar with local, state, or federal regulations, he seemed to not care in the slightest. (Cue a nonchalant shrug, arrogant smirk, and a "I dunno," as though it's preposterous that a patron may be curious as to policy during a pandemic.) He also was not wearing a mask, despite the girl at the counter wearing one the entire time. In sum, great concept with a fantastic clerk....but the leadership needs some work.

There were some great options which made choosing difficult, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (go ahead - get 2 biscuits!) and the fried chicken and biscuit. Both were great! The sandwich wasn't huge so it was a perfect amount for breakfast. We sat inside - it's very cute - with a market and to go as well as the tables. Food comes up fast and is really reasonably priced! The chicken was perfectly fried - not greasy - and the hot honey was a nice touch (and thankfully, not too hot). Good bathrooms and lots of tasty looking items in the refrigerated cases (including various types of seafood to cook).

I decided on a grits bowl . I was shocked at ghe size of the bowl when it was delivered a short while later. Huge is an understatement. The grits were well done, the bacon plentiful and lots of cheese. I could only finish about half of it. Really nice dish I will get again. There's not a lot of tables, and it would be hard for a large group but even if you have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait! I will return!

We were told that it would be about an hour and a half for a table we were ok with that and put our name on the list. I would say it took about an hour for a table. Our server immediately came to the table to ask for our drink orders so we thought we were off to a great start. She also took our food orders rather quickly. However, after that she pretty much disappeared on us. She never once came by to ask if we needed any more mimosas or refills on our waters. She didn't even let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We had to ask the hostess to look for her as it had been 45 minutes after ordering and we had no sign of her. She was outside texting. She then came by and said it's a holiday weekend it's going to be busy and then walked away. Our food was delish and we really liked what we ordered but by the time we got it we had been at the restaurant for at least an hour after ordering. I had the breakfast sandwich that was basically like a bacon and and cheese with tomato on a sandwich with cheesy grits on the side. We waved her down to close out and left right after we finished eating. Server was not friendly or attentive.
