Mama's clientele is extremely loyal--regulars are greeted by name. – – The Food – Mama's serves up overflowing plates of Southern-style comfort food.

good stuff
by chowchic
I live in the neighborhood and we've been coming here for a couple of years now. The food and service is very homey and we love it.

It's named after the grandmother of one of the owner's, cute. What I like about it is that it also caters to vegetarians, many of our friends are. We now have two great Southern style comfort food spots in the neighborhood, mamas & grandma Birdie's! Cool!
- Pros: good food

good confort food
by urbanlegend
Mamas is good for fried chicken or a veggie plate-big portions and no frills (yet cozy/warm) seating. Service is fast and attentive. Not crazy about the mashed potatoes though-it always seems too salty. Otherwise, everthing has always been yummy. A great place to get your soul food fix.
- Pros: Big portions, great service/staff
- Cons: salty mashed potatoes
