Ok... alright... South Charleston, W. Va. I see what you're doing…read more Was passing through on my way home to SC and I yelped "soul food - Charleston, WV" and this popped up. Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

The chicken was good, but I expected more seasoning. The greens&yams were phenomenal. The rolls seemed small and store bought, so I wasn't thrilled about that. So all in all, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't say excellent. The waitress was super sweet, and they had a station playing on TV where MJ was still black, so that ups the score for me! The only other complaint I had was that they didn't have grits, and that's what I was really wanting that day. Had to go get them from my usual place after I left. Oh, and the inside of the restaurant was really clean too, which I appreciate. As everyone on here has pointed out, it is a black owned business, so go eat some good food.. and if you have a problem, tell someone, I'm sure they'd accommodate, they seem like good folks.

The large smokers caught our attention as we were passing by, with smoke billowing out--and the aroma of delicious smoked meat made us turn around and stop in. They were so nice and helpful with the food choices, and a special touch was the cook presenting the food to us before bagging the boxes for us to go. He was also very helpful in suggesting a cool (and apparently little known) picnic spot by the river! Perfect! I can't wait to go back! If you love BBQ, this place is the real deal.

OMG, the collard greens, baked beans and Mac and cheese were on point and worth the trip. Everything was delicious and the portions were perfect. I was stuffed pretty quickly, but I am looking forward to finishing my food later. My sister enjoyed the fried fish, my nephew loved the fried chicken and I had the fried pork chop. The cornbread was big and a great addition to all the plates of food. The service was friendly and the food was made to order. The restaurant is small (4 tables), but more importantly whatever is coming out of that kitchen is finger licking good. We are glad we stopped by and definitely would return if ever in the area.

Yo. Do not go here…read more I don't know what happened to this place. Our first visit was right when things started re-opening during the pandemic. Food was good! Not the best, and the wait was ridiculously long despite our call ahead 30 min time estimate, but still, decent. Our SECOND visit-- Oh my God! Our food took over an hour, despite the fact that we were TOLD 30 minutes. When we got our food IT WASN'T EVEN HOT. You'd think with a wait like that, our food would at least be fresh! Absolutely not! My potato salad was room temperature trash, and the macoroni and cheese was like unseasoned velveeta. Not to mention our yams were CHEWY and the rice was UNDERCOOKED! I'm so disappointed, because as a Black person who WANTS to support Black-owned establishments, THIS WAS ABSOLUTE, DISRESPECTFUL TRASH!!! I'm just saying, if they keep this crap service and lack-luster food up, I really don't see this place lasting very long.

The hours are wildly…read moreinconsistent and they close seemingly at random hours contrary to most businesses in the area. Ocasionally the fried chicken will be a smidge raw in the middle which I experienced once. The dessert of the day doesn't seem to change. The quality of the mac and cheese is inconsistent. Some days it tastes phenomenal, like the best mac and cheese you can commercially buy and others it tastes like it was made last month. Despite this I will be giving this location 3 stars simply for the price of the food and the quality on a good day you can get. The fried chicken is crisp and well seasonsed. The two flavors they have, buffalo and lemon pepper are both fantastic and I urge people going here to try them both. The oxtail is a unique experience but not somethign I would wake up and immedately try to eat. The sweet tea and grape drinks are sweet enough to hurt your teeth, so they're perfect. If you're looking for affordable fried chicken wings in the area I highly suggest checking this place out. The bread pudding dessert was fine, but nothing earth shatteringly awesome. It woudln't be what I came back here for. The grits are food coma inducing but the lamb feels unnecessary, the shrimp was much better. Suspiciously every time I've been here its dead empty so service isn't bad, just odd cause you're like the only person sitting there.

I'll add screenshots if required as well as the civil suit that we won (names blacked out of course). READ UNTIL THE END. We hired Anthony and his catering service for our wedding last year. At the tasting, the service, people, and food were great. My wife and I were in agreement immediately. They were quick to respond and reassuring leading up to the wedding date. However, the day of the wedding they were supposed to arrive at 2pm with 150 people's worth of food. They, unfortunately didn't arrive until around 6pm, where they brought about 80 people's worth of food and less than that of drinks. The lemonade was watered down and the coffeemaker they brought was broken. The food was dried out and cold when it was being served. My wife called them DIRECTLY AFTER OUR CEREMONY (yes, the woman that was just married. No one tried reaching out to us) to see what happened. The woman on the phone gave two different excuses on two different occasions: 1) they got lost 2) they had to run back to Charleston. The staff at the wedding were nice enough and the lead caterer there was very apologetic, stating that they would get in touch with us to get us squared away. That never happened. My wife and her stepmother reached out to the company multiple times and got the runaround. They then stopped responding completely. I have reached out to Anthony Wilkins directly but he blocked me. I don't recommend this place not because of the food but because of the unprofessional owner. If he would have owned up to his and his company's mistakes, it would have lessened the stress and hardship on my wife, guests, and memory of an otherwise beautiful day. If you do go through this place, get EVERYTHING in writing and copies.

This place has a decent menu and the food reminds me of home made cooking. I ended up ordering the Philly cheesesteak dinner with baked mac and cheese. The Philly cheesesteak was good but a bit salty and the bake mac and cheese was very good. When I went in there was only two people working but the service was good. The people seemed nice and friendly. The location of Mountain Mama's Kitchen is a few minutes from downtown Huntington. But overall my experience was good.
