Mama's Boy was always one of my favorite restaurants when I lived in Athens, so I had to stop by…read morewhile I was back in town this weekend. It had been a couple of years since my last visit, and while they've switched to counter service now, the service was still fast and friendly. The biscuits are just as good as I remembered--soft, thick, and fluffy. I always get a side of apple butter with mine, but the raspberry jam is also worth trying. The food was every bit as delicious as I remembered. It's a restaurant that's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

There is not much parking, we parked at the nearby walking trail. The staff was very friendly and…read morewelcoming. When you arrive, you order at the counter before you are seated. They got a table ready for a party of 6 pretty quickly which was great! They have two dining areas inside and outside seating available. I ordered the peach french toast with potatoes, another person ordered the cinnamon roll to start and the a biscuit with gravy. My husband ordered the pulled pork bowl on grits and a side of fried chicken . The kids had french toast with fruit. My potatoes I can tell were from a bag and not fresh cut potatoes. They were tiny and probably what you can purchase at the grocery store, so they were crunch and hard to eat. The french toast didn't have the best taste, and the peaches seemed canned. Presentation was nice but I wouldn't order that again. My husband did not enjoy his pulled pork bowl either, he said it lacked a bit of flavor. The cinnamon roll was a little hard like it had been sitting for a bit. Now for the good, the fried chicken was some of the best chicken I had tasted so whatever is being done there keep it up! The biscuits with the jam available on the table were amazing! The kids enjoyed their kids meal as well. If in Athens again we would definitely get the chicken and biscuit but skip the other items we previously ordered.

Before I even start with the food, let me just say that the ladies working the counter were as friendly and polite and welcoming as you'll find anywhere!! Just so nice!! I ordered the sampler platter so I could taste all their meats, and for my 2 sides collard greens (incredible!) and Mac & Cheese (delicious!). From the meats, the pulled pork was my favorite, followed closely by the ribs. Chicken and sausage were good as well. Also - the hot BBQ and Sweet BBQ sauces were very tasty and unique. But again - what made the food taste even better was the INCREDIBLE ladies who welcomed me in. As I was leaving, a man arrived to help them and he was equally friendly, thanking me profusely for coming in. Great people and great food - the perfect combination!

We've had their catering and most of the meal was good, but huge delay getting it out to us. When we finally ate at the restaurant I was disappointed with the dried out over cooked chicken, and the almost burnt ribs, which is a shame because the one that wasn't overcooked was really good. The other food was good and their cobbler was delicious. It's like they are so close to being excellent, but someone is definitely over cooking the food or they're leaving it under the heat lamps too long which is unhealthy. We'll give them one more try and if it's still no good then we probably won't be back. Server was real sweet, but she had to step in when our server ignored us. To be honest we were really hoping they were good as we miss Blue Willow Inn style buffets.
