Went to Mama's for the first time because I was told their chicken fried steak was good. Unfortunately it was not a hit for me. Mediocre flavor, very little seasoning, no secondary flavor depth (like black pepper). Same for the cornbread - not sweet, but having an odd cheese aftertaste. More

Our first time here, and we will definitely be back. The customer service was the best I've experienced (Miraluna was our server) their food is delicious, definitely would descibe as elevated comfort food. They have a bar!! The mimosas and margaritas were fantastic as well. More

  • Bert Hernandez

Had not been here in several years, and the last time wasn’t so good. Atmosphere was the same but different, has the same vibe but cleaner. Food was a ton better than what it used to be. I had the pot roast and it was phenomenal. Will definitely be back again soon. More

Great menu for any time of day. We’re breakfast lovers and Mama’s is a winner from the coffee to the check. Get an on-line reservation for weekends. Get the $5 biscuit. Seriously. No, you don’t need it. Get it anyway. You will thank me for this advice. More

Ordered pork chops & roasted chicken. Both came with 2 protein, mashed potatoes, sautéed veggies. Food was delicious. Tastes like home. Wait staff very attentive & kept drinks full. So full we didn’t have room for their delectable desserts this time. More

  • Henry Growald

We eat here at least 1-2 times a month, incredible food and great value. Breakfast is great, lunch is great, dinner is great. It is all great. Get the fajita salad. It is the only salad that made me jealous when I was eating a chicken fried steak. More

This is in my top 2 for comfort foods and it's not number 2. Go to a place for anytime of day and favorite place to bring people from out of town. The staff and hostesses are always very friendly and helpful. Anytime I've been there the

I’d describe this restaurant as an elevated version of Cracker Barrel (complimentary). Loved their Chilaquiles Verdes! They’re a bit on the spicier side, which I enjoyed. The gluten-free blueberry pancake was also pretty delicious

Went with two other people I had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. It was all very good. The service was excellent. Also if your a beer drinker try the electric jelly fish you won't be disappointed. More

  • Jonathan Snell (ForWhyWhatSayYouSir)

Was super excited about the outdoor seating but the incessant predatory bird noises to keep doves out of the waterfall was so over the top. The food was decent though and the service was good. More

Great brunch spot…sit on patio if can! Frozen margarita flight is yum but ask for no salt. We had the helluva mess and the chicken and waffles and both were delish. Service and atmosphere is

This place was fun to visit. Service was great, and so was the food. Kind and professional staff. The only thing is that they did not have fried green tomatoes that night
