    Hamburger steak, turnip greens and mashed potatoes.

    Great food and amazing service. Staff and owner were amazing and everything we had tasted like good home cooking. They had a grilled pork chop special and I asked about getting it fried. They did it without even a second thought!!

    Special: 2 Fried Pork Chops, BEST BAKED BEANS (worldwide) & Mac & cheese

    Food, service, ambience in a family run restaurant. My London trained Chef and thought that the food was extraordinarily delicious and as a pastry chef much impressed by desserts ( upside down pineapple cake ) and I had zero regrets with the red velvet either. So glad we found the place. If you are In a rush order ahead or pickup. Parking lot full on a Monday afternoon.

    The food is great, the menu is diverse, the place is clean and the staff is very friendly. Usually not a long wait. And the prices are VERY good! It doesn't get any better than that!

The service is personal and warm, and even though they were busy on the early afternoon we stopped in, the line moved quickly and efficiently.

The turkey was wonderful flavor and the rice was just rice. I got there late so they were running out of food. I went up to the window and the cute lady beckoned for a male behind me to come up. He told me they were closing and that he would fix me what they had. I should've told him less veggies but with it being my first visit I wanted to let him do his thing. There were several of his friends sitting and shooting the ish and eating on the outdoor patio. These are the only options they have for seating. So the awesome gentleman fixes my plate and I take a seat. I had turkey and gravy, rice, green beans, corn on the cob and a roll. There is a vending machine for drinks. I got a Diet Coke. While I was sitting and eating the owner came up to me to tell me to come back tomorrow (Friday) because he was grilling ribs on the massive grill in the side yard. I told him I was sorry but I was not in town the next day but would come when he was grilling again. He told me he grilled every Friday and I was welcome to come and eat and hang out. I told him it was a date for the future. Since then COVID has infected our world and the restaurant has temp closed. As soon as they are up and running, I will make that grill Friday!

    I wish I could give this five extra stars…read more The food was hands-down amazing. Those biscuits or something to write home about, and the fried chicken was perfection! The staff are the friendliest I've ever seen. Everyone literally looks delighted to be at their job jobs.

    Sometimes the most frustrating restaurant experiences aren't the terrible ones…read more They're the ones that are so close to being really good. That's how I felt about Mama's Chicken Kitchen. I came in with high expectations. The restaurant has strong reviews, it's part of the Johnson Family of restaurants, and I've enjoyed several of their other establishments over the years. So I walked in expecting a meal that would have me planning a return visit before I even paid the check. What I got instead was one of the strangest cases of missing seasoning I've encountered in quite some time. Let's start with the positives. The people here are genuinely nice. Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and seemed to care about providing a good experience. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and inviting. And the kitchen clearly knows how to cook food. The fried chicken was cooked beautifully. Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside. Exactly the texture you're hoping for when you order Southern fried chicken. The problem? The seasoning apparently called in sick. This chicken had all the flavor intensity of a weather report. No noticeable salt. No spice. No personality. It tasted like the chef had just completed community service at a nursing home and was legally prohibited from possessing a salt shaker. My piece of chicken was juicy and cooked properly. Unfortunately, my wife's chicken breast was noticeably dry, which didn't help matters. Then came the fried pickles. No seasoning. Chicken and dumplings. No seasoning. Coleslaw. Tasteless. At one point I started wondering if there had been some sort of building-wide seasoning shortage that nobody had told us about. The frustrating part is that none of the food was poorly cooked. Quite the opposite. The techniques were there. The textures were there. The execution was there. It just felt like someone got everything ready and forgot the final, critical step of making the food taste like something. This is a restaurant with good people, a pleasant atmosphere, and a kitchen that clearly knows how to cook. Now they just need to introduce their food to salt, pepper, and a few of their seasoning friends. Three stars. Because the potential is absolutely there. The flavor just never showed up for work.

Our waitress was nice and friendly but definitely struggling and the food itself was very mediocre. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and sat outside as a group of 7. We started with waters and then a couple trays of chips and salsa. We opted for the house fire roasted and pico options. The chips were a good portion but each one came with maybe one ounce of each sauce...for the 7 of us. We asked for extras and so she brought out one of each... I ordered a chicken vegetable soup which the menu stated was served with a cornbread muffin. When the soup came there was no cornbread so I asked for that and upon her return she said it would be an extra $2.50 even though I literally pointed to the menu to show her that was not written anywhere lol The soup was okay, probably Would've been better with the muffin but I wasn't going to argue over it anymore. For my entree I got two southwest chicken tacos. And those were disappointing as well. Packed with a lot but just did not deliver on flavor, and the poblano cremosa salsa I got was pretty bland too. Overall sentiment from other friends was similar- they ordered bowls, burritos etc but found a lot was left to be desired with their dishes. Come payment time, I opted to use cash since the menu stated 3% surcharge for credit. When I gave her a $20, she returned my tab (after processing the others who put a card in) and I explained I had left cash, to which she asked "oh do you want me to give you a 10 and two 5s?" And I explained, No I just want to pay with cash, I only need the change. And then she gave me the wrong amount of change. So all around this spot was definitely a let down. @azfitfoodfun
