    OMG the seasonings left my mouth smackin' for more! Chef Maggie will have you full and happy!

    Turkey Wing combo with cabbage

    The food was cool, they give decent portion sizes. I do wish they would have given me 2 rolls instead of 1. But no real complaints.

    This place is just like the name says, Just Like Mama's. That is both good and bad. It's good in that it is down home soul food. The problem is that there is nothing particularly special...nothing different than what I can get for free at mama's house or any church social. When I go to a restaurant, I want food that is unique to that restaurant... something that I can't get from anywhere else. This, unfortunately, is not it. The restaurant is located in a shopping center. Masks are required upon entry into the restaurant. Even though the restaurant was clean, I just couldn't get past the sticky floors. With every step, it seemed like my feet would slip out of my shoes. The workers there were very friendly. There was also had a cute little girl helping out. I assume that she is the daughter or granddaughter of the owner. I love the legacy angle. We decided to get our food to go. I ordered fried whiting, french fries, fried okra, mac and cheese, and cornbread. My husband ordered fried ribs, collard greens, mac and cheese, and potato salad. They didn't have the potato salad, so he got a double order of greens. We sat in a lobby type area as we waited for our food. There was a wall that people wrote messages on, and another wall dedicated to the owner's mother or grandmother. That was the touch that made things feel like home. While we were waiting, we decided to add desserts to our order. We decided to get a slice of Red Velvet Cake and a slice of Sweet Potato Pie. I'm not sure how long we waited for our food. We were told that it would be a 25 minute wait. It may have been that long, or a little longer. Quality of the food: As I stated earlier, there was nothing special about it. My fish was not fresh and was underwhelming. The french fries were just french fries. Something I can make from home. The same with the fried okra. The mac and cheese was pretty good. I tasted my husband's fried rib, and the piece he gave me was salty. The red velvet cake was ok, but the sweet potato pie was not good at all. It had wayy too much cinnamon. The best thing about the entire meal was the cornbread. The cornbread was moist and delicious. Overall, it was just ok, and I probably won't be back. The prices are way too expensive for food I can get for free from anywhere.

    Big plates three sides,meat and corn bread.

They had an assortment of desserts available including cookies, cupcakes, banana pudding and peach cobbler. I ordered two red velvet cupcakes and an orange cranberry cupcake. To my pleasant surprise, I realized that they sell soul food and desserts. The soul food was not displayed, but still available to purchase due to the timing that I came in. The staff was so friendly and hospitable! There is no seating, so come ready to place your to go order and head home. The Saturday menu offered a few entrees and soulful sides, including baked pork chops with gravy, baked chicken, and fried fish. For sides, they had rice, macaroni and cheese, yams, collards and cornbread (and a few others, see a Saturday menu in the photo). They were sold out of baked chicken, so I opted for two pork chop dinners with macaroni, collards and yams for my family. It also included rice and cornbread. I was able to put the gravy on the side. They used sturdy to-go boxes and cupcake containers and nothing leaked out on my way home. I appreciated this a lot, because sometimes restaurants give you a styrofoam box that does not close, causing the sauces and juice from the food to leak out in the bag. The food was AMAZING! It tasted like it was made with love from scratch. I loved the pork chops and gravy, rice and cornbread. A Timeless Treat made the best macaroni and cheese that I've tried at a restaurant in Douglasville or Atlanta area! The portion was enough to have some for dinner and then the next day for lunch. Prepare for a nap after that meal! The red velvet cupcakes were good as well! Overall, I recommend this restaurant. I will be back to try the other items, since the menu rotates based on the day.

I stopped and got the pork chop dinner that included two pork chops, collard greens and a piece of cornbread. Omg! I was starving and started munching on one of the pork chops right after I got into my truck and headed up the road. Unfortunately it's really close to I-20 and I had already gotten up the road a good ways before I was able to get situated enough to drive and eat. I literally got off at the very next exit and called the restaurant to order two more pork chops! I am not exaggerating when I say: I am one month away from turning 66 and this were the best chops I have EVER eaten! My Mom is from GA and she's a really good cook. My granny lived in Valdosta and when my Mom married my Dad they moved to his home in VA. I only saw my grandma once a year and I tell you her cooking was the best I ever had. Since she died over 50 years ago I have searched for good country cooking and never found any as good as hers. I've traveled all over the country extensively and seriously been in every soul food/country cooking restaurant I could find trying to find something to compare to her cooking. Today I found it!!! The collard greens were delicious as well as the mashed potatoes. But the cornbread and chops were so damned good I can't even describe it I'm gonna be working here for the next 4-5 years and these folks are gonna get to know me like family!!! I hope I don't wear out my welcome!

I grew up a Fried Chicken lover and this joint didn't let me down. The majority of my reviews is dominated by service.

It has a great flavor to it--they add something that makes the chicken dang delicious. I'm certain it's April's secret recipe. Oh--same with their cabbage .

Thank yall. Have some time when you come here as they work on it. When the food finally came, it was good! The chicken wings were fried crispy like I like them and had good flavor (4/5), the greens as all the sides were turkey based and good so automatically (5/5!). I also had the potato salad which was aite (2/5). I also had two margaritas, which like the food took a minute, but were good when I got it. Overall, yall pull up.

I ordered baked chicken with rice, sweet potato soufflé, mac and cheese, and potato salad. I also purchased my grandmother a plate with meatloaf, collard greens, and sweet potato soufflé. What really set the tone was having to stand there and watch the young lady fix both of my plates. She was extremely stingy with the portions. I mean tiny dabs of food. The amount of rice on both plates was honestly shameful -- you could clearly see the bottom of the container. I almost turned around and walked out, but since I had already driven an hour to get there, I decided to continue. Watching someone fix $15 plates like that, knowing the price, was very disappointing. The baked chicken was dry and hard. The mac and cheese was not creamy and not cheesy at all. The potato salad was just okay. The only thing that was actually good was the sweet potato soufflé -- and it was a 10/10. This was my fourth time giving this location a chance. I usually buy at least eight plates when I come, so you can imagine how much money I've spent trying to support them. At this point, the only reason I would ever return is for the potato soufflé -- and nothing else. They really need training from associates at the other locations because I want to root for them. The other locations know how to: * Properly portion food * Cook it the right way * Offer real options Here, the bar looked pitiful, and to charge that much for so little food just doesn't make sense. I'm used to going to This Is It and seeing real ribs, spicy ribs, pork chops, and variety. I understand business -- if things don't sell, you focus on heavy sellers -- but this bar looked like bare minimum effort. For the price, I can go to A1 Soul Food, get way more food, and it tastes good every single time. I think I'm done with This Is It -- at least this location. And I don't take any pictures because the plates went in the trash after we at the soufflé.

We told her we were pescatarian so we don't eat chicken so she offered fish instead...which was more wait time *also ordered biscuits but never received them. After asking a few times and them "going to the back" to get them, they finally said they ran out and offered us cornbread instead. Despite all that still gave 3 star instead of 2 because overall the staff was friendly and apologetic and the food itself (when we finally got it) was really good.
