Southern Mama's is back. There are two other reviews on Southern Mama's, both saying the…read morerestaurant is closed for good. They have reopened with more space and now have switched things to a buffet style restaurant. We had a party of six go today for lunch. Their hours are now from Friday - Sunday, 11AM - 8PM, and offer a full buffet )$18.95) or a Meat & Three or Meat & Two options. You can also order alacarte if you desire. They had a huge selection..Fried Chicken, Chicken with bacon, Brisket slices, Fried Pork tenderloins, Collards, green beans, lima beans, corn, black eyed peas, mash potatoes/gravy, banana pudding and peach cobbler along with a full salad bar. I've probably left off several things. Needless to say there's quite a selection. I tried a fried chicken breast. It was very good, crispy and not dry. Went well with the mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The collards and green beans were also good. I wasn't a big fan of the brisket. It was hard to cut with the knife that they'd given me, but it did have a good taste. I probably wouldn't order that again. I also didn't care for the peach cobbler as much as I usually do. The salad bar had two types of lettuce and quite a large choice for dressings. They also had a broccoli salad which was very runny and not as good as I would've thought. The lighting could be improved over the buffet items as it was hard to tell what some of them were. They had signs in front of the items on the glass but not everything was listed..having to ask what many were. I was a big fan of Southern Mama's at the other smaller site where they served regular sit-down and order from the menu. The buffet format just didn't impress me as much. You move down the line and the staff would take your tray and load it with whatever you picked. Then you sit at a table and the waitress will bring you your drink and often checks on you to see if you need anything else. Service was good. The opinion from my friends: Four of us had chicken. Two of us liked it, two didn't. The vegetables and sides were all good. The beets from the salad bar were just so-so, not great. Broccoli salad wasn't popular with two of us. I don't know if I'd go back for the buffet. I'd prefer to order just the chicken, mashed potatoes and Gravy as a meal. From what I've heard it can get busy on a Sunday. We arrived at 11:30 (Saturday) and there was plenty of room, but by 12:30 it was starting to build up a line to get in.

I expected it to come with some fresh fruit or a little more presentation, but I guess that's an extra here. It was definitely an interesting visit because a storm was rolling through and the power kept going in and out, which made for a confusing experience. Despite that, our waitress stayed positive, kept everyone informed, and made the experience enjoyable with her great attitude. Her customer service was the highlight of the visit. There's plenty of seating and nice little decor our with an open bar so it looks like it can accommodate any large parties or just a few people whatever you bring. Overall, the food was okay, but the excellent service is what made this brunch spot worth the visit.

We were seated immediately and our server came over right away to greet us. The restaurant was clean and spacious and the noise level minimal. I ordered a hot chocolate and for my entree the Gulf Shrimp Omelette with a side of potatoes and a chocolate chip pancake for a $4.25 up charge. The omelette was tasty but the shrimp weren't all the way de-veigned. The potatoes were not good at all, even after adding ketchup. My colleague ordered the same but with egg whites and grits. Overall a decent visit. I've eaten at multiple Ruby Sunshine and Ruby Slipper locations in different cities like New Orleans, Charlotte and Chattanooga. For the price the food is decent but nothing amazing.

Fried catfish was also available that day and it was delicious. I wish I would have remembered to ask for the jalapeño cheddar biscuit with our meal.

After we found a table we did receive our food pretty quickly and everything was steaming hot. Always a 10/10.
