A new favorite for me! I found this place on Yelp looking for a good place for breakfast, I found it. This place is great! The menu has so many different favorites of mine so I picked the #1 breakfast. It's a good mix of breakfast staples, eggs, meat, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. Everything was served piping hot and was delicious! I had not expected such a great meal and delicious food on my first try in a new city and restaurant. I can't wait to go back in the morning for breakfast again. Everything was delicious but the biscuits and gravy deserve special mention. The biscuits are the best I have ever eaten, light, fluffy, crispy edges. I don't know what their secret is but these are the best biscuits I've ever had. The gravy is also awesome with chunks of sausage and a perfect blend of spices blended together with a smooth texture. Just thinking about the biscuits and gravy makes my mouth water and my stomach growl with hunger. The servers are so sweet and tentative. Our drinks were always full. Everything we would normally have to ask for at other restaurants was brought out with the food, I'm talking about things like ketchup, syrup, butter, creamer, extra napkins. After ordering the food was served quick and it was fresh and hot. It wasn't sitting around waiting to be served. When the meal was over and the plates were taken away our drinks were topped off and we were able converse with each other while our check was being processed by our server. Our server was a wonderful lady who was friendly and helpful and always carried a great smile. The dining experience was very relaxed. This is one of those places where the locals meet and enjoy great food and conversation together. It's the kind of place that you feel comfortable being at. You feel like you're one of the locals too. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, everyone says hello with a genuine smile. This is one of those places that you wish you had at home. I'm already planning my next visit to Ashland City and Mama D's is on the top of my list. read more

Disgusting waitresses! My husband and a group of several others from work went to eat mama ds on their lunch break. There were 2 "women" flirting with another married man for tips! Disgusting! Get waitresses that arent so hard up for a tip they have to flirt with married men! read more

It took more than 40 min to get breakfast. We had two waitresses tell us they would be right with us while they passed us to cater to new arrivals. (We are not local). We had no refills on coffee, unless we went and got it ourselves, and never had a refill on water until we asked three different staff members. Definitely not worth it unless you had nothing to do for more than an hour....unfortunately, we were in a hurry. Probably worth it if they know you are local. read more

The food is incredible, the biscuits and gravy are to die for and omelette was awesome. My new favorite breakfast spot here in Ashland City

We ate breakfast there last weekend very impressed. Food was great and service was amazing . The waitress said it was her second day. I want to say she was super sweet and very attentive. We will be back . I always look for local restaurants this was the best breakfast in Ashland City. read more

The absolute best breakfast in town! If you want the nostalgic small town diner feel plus great food, this is the spot! The staff are so incredibly friendly. The only downfall is that this place gets packed on the weekends! Come early. read more

First and foremost, the BEST biscuits I've ever had! Great small town vibes with great food, exceptional service, and decent value. Adorable place I can't recommend it enough. read more

Glad to find this restaurant in our area since there are so few meat and three options around us. The food was great, portions were huge, and service was friendly. The place isn't fancy but the food makes up for the difference. Located right on the square in Ashland City it is easy to find. Worth the drive. read more

Been there 3 times have yet to be waited on or even acknowledged. Sat there 15 minutes and ignored by 3 servers read more

An oasis in the challenging Kingsport food scene. Our first breakfast visit today rocked The staff understood customer service with a smile. We ordered different omelets OMG perfect serving size,flavor and value. They will tire of our visits. read more

Food was good very good nice place layed back looks like all locals go to service was good

Happened to be in town Saturday Jan 17 around lunchtime and decided Mama Ds would be good place to eat opposed to fast food. I enjoy patron local businesses and breakfast served at lunchtime sounded good. Don't live in Ashland City and had never been in the restaurant before. My husband and I seated ourselves per the sign. Now normally when you sit down you receive a menu right away and/or drink order. We received neither after two different waitresses looked at us and said they would be right with us to take our order. We waited for a long time while said waitresses perceded to ignore us as they catered to locals or patrons they knew. I get that but as new customers you would normally be wanting to impress new business so that they too could potentially be regulars as well. Clearly this was not the case. We used the restroom and I walked out of store and waited on him to leave. As soon as we left another couple sat down in the seats we just vacated and were waited on right away! No one said a word to us as we were leaving only the waitress with nose ring looked at me. What a shame we didn't get to find out just how great your food of ten years is and why you are a staple in area. Do you only cater to locals or folks you know? If so please don't bother to wait on outsiders if you plan to only treat them with same rude behavior! We deserve an apology but know we won't get one. Old Hickory, TN read more

Food was good. My husbands bowl was kind of cold. The service was slow. Spent over an hour and most of that time was waiting and waiting. Our waitress was super sweet. We will not be returning, however the ambiance was nice and homey. read more

It's a decent place food wise, they open too late and hardly seem to ever be open. People that want breakfast are done gone to Nashville or to work by the time they open. The food is pretty good just takes a while to get your food if you like to wait a while. I remember every time I was trying to go here they were closed, or not open due to repairs, or closed. I finally got in when they opened and still waited about 45 minutes for food. They won't last long if they don't at least improve on the hours and service of the food. I've seen people just walk out for waiting so long. read more

I live in AC and was craving soup. First time in, and I'm hooked! The chicken enchilada soup was wonderful and the staff were really sweet. I can't wait to try some other menu items! read more

Always a home run! The food is delicious, and plenty of it. The ladies running the popular breakfast spot are fabulous, the ambiance is warm and inviting. Highly recommend going soon after they open or closer to lunch time, because it gets crowded (which is always a wonderful sight to see at the locally owned anything ) Our sever, Grace, couldn't have been more lovely. Looking forward to many more meals at Mama D's! read more

We tried to try Mama D's several months ago but the power went out (due to local construction, not their fault) and we had to leave having just had our coffee. Well, we finally got back around to coming back and had breakfast on a recent Friday morning and loved it. My wife said she would let anyone know who asked about it that it's basically like having breakfast at a grandmother's house--from set up to atmosphere to style and quality of food, if you grew up in the south or midwest and were fortunate enough to have a good cook as a grandmother, you'll remember this kind of down home, no frills, straightforward food. The pancakes are fluffy and buttery, the biscuits crisp and buttery, they can actually cook your eggs to order even if you want them just over easy, the standout (for me) was the hashbrown casserole as it's cheesy and tangy. The gravy is good if I prefer my own (sorry), but it's certainly quicker and easier to let them make it for you! The service here is super friendly and kind. Prices are fair--yes, they're higher now than they probably have ever been due to current inflation, but hopefully they'll drop back down a bit when that eases. It's still fair as we at and had coffee for two and it was less than $30 after a 25% tip. Note--I do wish they'd use less styrofoam as they use it for gravy bowls and water glasses (and I hate that styrofoam that basically never leaves the planet) but the rest of their plateware is rewashable. read more

I haven't been but my husband loves the breakfast..he's picky, so that's a good thing.

Glad I found this place. A nice diner with good service and a full menu. Coffee always kept full and a tasty omelette to boot.

We are from out of town and love eating at the local spots! Mama Ds popped up and we had to try it. We immediately got seated by hostess who said "I'll sit you here." Put the menus and forks down on the table and walked away. Wasn't the friendliest. Our waitress grabbed our drinks and orders. My food came out but not my husbands. She came back and asked what he ordered. He told her. She then came and said they keyer didn't put in your food so they are cooking now. Brought the food out and wasn't right. Our meal ticket was completely wrong. Food was great, but the service and organization just wasn't there for us. read more

We love small town diners! Yummy food, great service. Sweet ladies. Delicious cup of coffee. This whole meal cost as much as our morning Starbucks read more

Mama D's - #2 and #5 on the menu. Yummy! - Soup Near Me - Ashland City, Tennessee

Mama D's is truly a local small town family owned restaurant. My 5 star review is for their French Toast, which is perhaps the best I've had in decades. Their eggs are also amazing, and are huge as compared to Waffle House. If you like an atmosphere that's like going over to Grandma's house for breakfast, then Mama D's is the place to go. read more

Down to earth people, serving down to earth delicious foods. Glad to have a place like this to go and eat.

Since moving to their new location this place has been a dumpster fire. I have been to the new location 3 times now and every time the food takes forever to get to the table. The first time we went it wasn't too bad of a wait maybe 30 minutes, the second time it took 45 minutes to get to the the table, but yesterday it took an hour and a half from the time we ordered until we got our food. There were tables around us just getting up and leaving. And to add insult to injury the server kept giving lame excuses for the slow service, she even lost our order at the one hour and fifteen minute mark and we had to order again. But the kicker to all of this is they didn't offer to comp the meals for taking so long... not even a discount. Needless to say as people who used to love eating here I doubt we will be back. One other note all 3 times we went to the restaurant it was not that busy. read more

Small place but worth a stop. Everyone friendly, big servings, great prices. Looks like old motel so it's easy to miss, but its right on hwy 12 north of town. read more

Excellent food, service, pricing. Family atmosphere and Mama D makes everyone feel welcome. Great place for family breakfasts. Ashland City has lost multiple restaurants. Let's support this one and watch it grow. read more

It was just ok we were there on a Thursday night when they had the soup and sandwiches options including the burgers and not that impressive burgers were not fresh tasted like box hamburger and soup was good but not as good as I expected. If you go here I would recommend the breakfast as it seems to be better read more

Delicious food and friendly service.. I love going here and the Hashbrown Casserole is so Yummy!

Great ladies running the dinner and the food sure is a meal. We went for breakfast and it was a surprise how amazing it was.

There were 5 of us, for breakfast. They opened late, I guess Mama D wasn't there yet. Place was clean, they had just shut down for 2 days to clean. Prices are high, but everything is now it's 2022. People are friendly. We would go back, I recommend you least try the place for yourself. read more

Don't come here if you're in a rush, because the staff are not. Took about 30 minutes to get two sandwiches and a cup of soup. While the food was definitely good, it's not worth the wait it took, especially since it wasn't busy at all. read more

What a cute little place to have breakfast. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. The bacon and eggs tasted like something my mom would make when I was little and the biscuit was something to call home about. Will definitely be coming back :) I took one star off because the hot chocolate tasted like Swiss miss made with water. read more

Slow and unapologetic service, makes sense why the Waffle House has a line out.the door. Not worth the wait.

Down home southern cooking and the perkiest, sweetest waitresses and staff you will ever meet. You'll feel welcome on your first visit and will want to come back for more. read more

They've moved, just down the street! 164 north main. Great food. Love a local hole in the wall. Hash brown casserole is better than Cracker Barrel and Paula Deen's. Entire meal was flavored wonderfully. So glad we came here instead of Waffle House read more
