A friend recommended a lunch stop at Mama's after a downtown meeting, and I was thrilled to finally give it a real go. (I'd honestly forgotten about my first impression until I remembered) But that's in the past and I'm happy to wipe the slate clean. This visit, the fried chicken special was delicious and perfectly executed. I tasted the pork chop and it was great as well. The Mac and cheese and collard greens that I ordered as sides, all tasty. I cleaned my plate. The sweet tea is also just as amazing as I remember from before when I tasted it in the wild. Service from Emily, wonderful as well. All in all, Mama's in-house dining is where it's at. Cheers!

I needed to get something for lunch and decided to try Oschcola's Home Cooking. This place has been…read moreon my radar for a few weeks. I'd passed it a few times while driving on Airport Boulevard. I was working from home so I went there on my lunch break. When I walked inside I saw a few patrons sitting at tables. There was a a buffet style counter set up with the work staff behind it. Each of them greeted me as I walked toward the counter. I was asked what I wanted and I said thought instantly about the fried chicken I saw. I ordered that and the meal comes with three sides and cornbread as well. I chose mac and cheese, black eyed peas, and mash potatoes and gravy. The server rung me up and I took my plate to go. I can't remember the first thing I tasted when I got home. I believe it was the mac and cheese. It doesn't really matter. The sides were really good. Mac and cheese is usually my favorite side but I thoroughly enjoyed the black eyed peas. Don't get me wrong the mac and cheese was excellent but the peas were superb. The mash potatoes were creamy and the gravy was savory. The cornbread was the type that had the pieces of corn in it. I liked it. Now the main course was of course the chicken. It really looked and tasted like authentic homemade fried chicken. I loved the seasoning on the chicken. It was some of the best chicken I've had in a while. I definitely want to come back.

If not, hoping they upgrade soon. This place was recommended by a hotel worker. Service was ok. Cordial, not warming but whatever. I ordered the 10 piece wing and fries with a side of black eyed peas and greens. The meatloaf didn't ok appealing. The wings are fire. The sauce is the truth. Prolly the best thing there. Fries were fresh and hot however, they did not put any salt on them. The black eyed peas were better than I thought. They had really good flavor. I ordered greens and got mac n cheese. How the worker mixed that up and I was the only customer for 7 minutes is beyond me. The mac n cheese was NOT cheesin. Kraft mac n cheese taste better. It didn't look appealing when I saw it which is why I chose greens. She said the greens were not sweet so I was sold. If I go back, it's for the wings. They had no pictures on the site so I got it started for y'all.

One star for the hush puppies…read more One star for our friendly server. Sadly, I can only give two stars to Wintzell's House in Mobile, Alabama. I should've listened to all of the advice from the locals on Reddit, who warned me that this place has fallen on harder times. The char grilled oysters were funky. I ate them but worried as I ate them. The hush puppies earned a star. They were pretty tasty. The were my favorite thing on the table. However, we asked for butter, and our server gave us packets of butter substitute. Doesn't this restaurant have real butter? The gumbo was fairly tasteless and also, they had chopped up whatever seafood was in there so finely that it all just turned into mush. If there was any seafood in there, I sure didn't taste it. The West Indies crab salad was a shocking disappointment. It was a scoop of crab meat, which they ruined by mixing it up with mayo. That's it. An ice cream scoop of canned crab meat mixed with heavy mayo. It's like they didn't even try. The bread pudding left very little impression. It was a little rectangular square. Our server misunderstood us when we said we wanted it topped with ice cream, and served the bread pudding alongside a bowl of five scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was a very odd dessert situation, but we worked our way through it. Our server was an amusing fella. He kinda/sorta made the evening. Overall, I'm glad I went so I could know for myself. However, I do wish that I had listened to the locals on Reddit.

Because this spot is not pretending to be anything. This is full-on, unapologetic dive. And I mean that in the best possible way. You walk in and it's like the '70s, '80s, and a little bit of someone's '90s basement bar all got together and said, "Let's not change a thing." Old banquet-style tables, a bar top that feels like it's hosted a thousand stories, and walls that have clearly seen some things. I loved it immediately. Now let's talk food. The folks next to me were deep into the chicken and dumplings and talking about it like it was a life event. You know that kind of table chatter where you start reconsidering your order mid-bite? Yeah, that. I went shrimp po' boy... and no regrets. Shrimp fried just right. Crispy, flavorful, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Solid sandwich. The fries... eh, they showed up a little tired. Not terrible, just kind of there. A little cold, a little soggy, like they'd already had a long day. But here's the twist. You don't come to Judy's for perfection. You come for personality. For the feeling that you just discovered a place that doesn't care about trends, doesn't need a remodel, and definitely isn't chasing Instagram. It just is what it is... and somehow that works. Fold this into your expectations. If you need polished, keep driving. If you want real, pull up a chair. It's fun. It's different. It's got character for days. Four stars. And honestly, half the star is just for staying exactly the same all these years.

To say this food was cooked with love and every bit of the best seasonings would be an understatement - it all tasted great and was an ultra 10 out of 5!! The locals obviously knew it well as they were lined up waiting for some of all this lil gem had to offer. The menu was a bit confusing but once we figured it out we got an oxtail meal that was the star, a baked chicken dinner and a macaroni and cheese plate with double Mac and cheese and a side of cheese dressing. There are daily specials and meals come with sweet tea. Any other drinks like lemonade or kool aid come at a up charge of $1.99. You place your order first then grab a table to eat or take to go.

The ambiance is what you would assume a Jamaican restaurant would be: Jamaican flags, Jamaican colors, Jamaican customers. The only reason why I give this place a 4 stars is because they were missing entrees. I originally came here for the jerk chicken, but they were out, even at lunch time (12:00pm). Other than that, it was reasonable pricing for the portion I got. I would come here again.
