Mama's Fried Chicken Co. is one of those hidden gems that get missed. Big and bold signage allows…read morefor easy identification despite being surrounded by other businesses including a Best Western. We were a little surprised at how slow customer wise it was on a Friday night. Menu consists of Fried Chicken, Sandwiches, sides, and other items. I ordered the three Chicken Tenders combo, with Fries and Baked Mac & Cheese. Our groups order took some time to be completed as everything was fresh. The Chicken Tenders were big enough that I had to take one home. The side of fries was large and the Baked Mac & Cheese was pretty good. My one friend wasn't a fan of the Homestyle Mashed Potatoes; another was a big fan of the size of the Potato Salad. The biscuits were flakey and delicious. Mama's serves Coke products. Overall, when ordering here, don't over order or you'll be needing a to go bag. I would return here to dine again.

And I did like the fact that the food was cooked to order so it was very fresh. I did not visit the restroom so I can't speak to the status of the cleanliness. The soda fountain could have been a little cleaner. Everything was very sticky, and the tray was overflowing. The tables and around the tables were clean.. The hush puppies, biscuits, and the macaroni and cheese were the best I've ever had from a fast food restaurant. As for the chicken, it smelled amazing. Unfortunately, from my taste, I found it very salty and greasy. The chicken was well flavored, but it was just way too salty for me I also tried their banana pudding and unfortunately, once again, at least from my taste, it was lacking the right flavors. I did try their honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich I found that to be delicious So for that alone, it's totally worth a trip. I did forget to take a picture of banana pudding and the honey butter biscuit sandwich

Food was fresh, hot, golden brown beautifully fried chicken!

Look at the thickness... Sure is satisfying & thick!!!

There stood a cheerful young lady with a tablet beside the speaker box, hustling orders with the urgency of an air traffic controller at Reagan National. Now I will give them this -- they move people through faster than a tax refund disappears in Washington. I ordered three chicken finger baskets and repeated "unsweetened tea" enough times that it should have become part of the permanent record. Reconfirmed it at the second window too. We were in and out in four minutes flat, carrying enough Styrofoam and paper sacks to feed a Little League team. Six minutes later at home, the first sip of tea hit like liquified hummingbird feeder. That "unsweetened" tea had enough sugar in it to put the city of Fredericksburg on insulin monitoring. Somewhere in that kitchen a man clearly believes every Southerner measures tea sweetness by whether the spoon can stand upright in the cup. Then came the fries. Lord help us. These were pale, limp crinkle fries that looked less "fresh fried" and more "recently thawed beside a space heater." Not a hint of crispness. No golden-brown glory. Just soft potato strips lying in the tray like they had accepted defeat long before reaching the fryer. The chicken itself? Tiny little one-inch strips hiding under enough crunchy batter to qualify as exterior siding. Crispy, yes. Generous, no. More breading than bird. The Texas toast arrived soggy enough to make you wonder if it had been steamed instead of toasted. Calling that "Texas toast" is an insult to a state that once fought a war over standards. The lone survivor in this culinary rodeo was the sauce. That special sauce is carrying the entire franchise on its back like a weary mule climbing Pike's Peak. I finally asked my grandson if he had eaten there before. He admitted he had not. He'd simply been told it was great and figured nobody could really mess up chicken fingers and fries. Well. Humanity continues to innovate. Strike Raising Cane's from the regular rotation unless it is 2:00 in the morning, every other restaurant in Virginia is dark, and your soul is screaming for fried chicken through the fog of poor decisions.

So I tried it twice to make sure and it's a "meh" for me. The location is good with outdoor seating…read morewhen it's not extremely hot, staff is friendly but the food is inconsistent to me.

I truly love their food, but unfortunately, I feel their training on proper food handling and…read morehealth safety needs to be revisited. When I walked in, the young lady serving me was leaning against a table with her gloved hands. She then came over to assist me while carrying on a conversation with another employee who had walked through the swinging doors. During the conversation, she used the same gloved hand to hold the door open. She then proceeded to grab my bowls and serve my food with those same gloves. Afterward, she went to the register and handled my payment without removing or changing her gloves. After I paid, I watched her take her cell phone out of her pocket and scroll on it while still wearing the same gloves. This is a basic food-safety concern. Gloves can become contaminated just as hands can, and they need to be changed frequently, especially after touching doors, personal items, money, or other potentially contaminated surfaces. Hands should also be washed appropriately between glove changes and food-handling tasks. Before handling clean plates or bowls and serving food, she should have put on a fresh pair of gloves, and those gloves should have been removed after handling the bagged food and before moving on to other tasks. I truly enjoy the food and would like to continue supporting the business, which is why I'm bringing this to your attention. Please consider retraining your staff on proper glove use, handwashing, and food-handling procedures. These are fundamental food-safety practices, and I hope this concern is taken seriously.

Unfortunately his support let him down. I ordered 2 piece roasted chicken and the server brought me fried after Jeremy confirmed they had what I wanted ready. My wife was also w me and was given fried vs roasted but she wanted dark meat. Jeremy asked if I was ok waiting 15 minutes for fresh roasted chicken which I agreed as my wife had to wait 5 for her meal to come correctly. To compensate he gave us a dessert and extra breast (I ordered white meat) when my meal came out. As promised 2 hot juicy breasts and a wing. I literally told my wife after the first bite the chicken was done perfectly. A if it was done cooking seconds after completely done. Well not quite. There was more cooking that needed to be done after my second cut into the breast. No worries, I had two breast and so I cut sliced the other and the juices flowed out and I thought yes the got this right....... Nope. I cut deeper and it wasn't done either. I told Jeremy I just wanted a refund at this point which he gladly gave me and apologized continuously. Sadly, when I looked at my wife's chicken compared to mine, it was quite easy to tell hers was not that fresh. It looked dry and maybe reheated.

Wife and I checked out FG yesterday for lunch and ordered two cheeseburgers, one large order of fries, and a tea (I hade water) all for $22. Burgers were decent, but I can do better. I don't think I'll ever go there again. For that price, I can get a better burger and fries AND a beer at Red Robin. read more
