    Loved Mama's! The chicken fingers weren't my favorite I've ever had, but I loved the meat & three concept of the place! The Mac n cheese & mashed potatoes were great! Service was quick. I also got the banana pudding which was out of this world! The inside smelled awful like sewage but I'm hoping that was a random occurrence.

    Mama fried chicken is the best.  Squash Casserole, candied yams & cabbage with cornbread.

    Downtown Mobile at its finest!! Food is amazing, portions were good. Service was fantastic and the prices were decent. Being downtown opens up possibilities to walk & shop. Dinning area was old school and friendly.

    I was looking for a quick bite to eat, close to the Hilton Garden Inn. Yelp turned up Mama's as being a highly rated spot, just around the corner and it did not disappoint. Even though it was Monday, I decided to skip the red beans and rice and go directly to a fried shrimp po' boy - great decision! The bread was as good as any I've had in New Orleans and the mounds of shrimp they piled on it were deliciously crispy. Can't wait to get back there on my next trip to Mobile!

    My coworkers hyped this place up for sure so I was optimistic coming from out of town. I'm a huge foodie and love trying things I can't get back home. I got the fried green tomato sandwich and the first thing I saw was a hair out of my sandwich.... I showed my waitress and she didn't even say a word to me and just took it to the back. It was remade and hot and again the waitress said nothing to me and just dropped it off. The only reason I'm not giving one star was the food was good! The sandwich was amazing but our waitress was just overall rude, I felt like I was being a burden that there was hair in my sandwich so that ruined my first and overall experience.

    Man this place is good! It's seriously the taste of the gulf that you can't get anywhere else. The food is fresh and hot! I got a shrimp poboy with sweet tea and WOW the shrimp was amazing. Lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp were succulent little morsels. The sweet tea had a great flavor too! I'm coming back tomorrow to try something else on the menu!

    Nice decor

    Great service! Very kind and helpful and patient. Good variety of food on the menu. I like the decor is well done. I ordered the butter beans, black eyed peas, cabbage, cucumber tomato salad. It was all good. The black eyed peas were probably my favorite. My wife ordered the fried green tomato BLT. She liked it. She deconstructed it and asked for more of the sauce on it which she said was really good. She also had the collard greens which she said was good.

    Pretty good food for the price. Very quick and nice staff too! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    The banana pudding is unbelievably delicious! They fold whipped cream into the pudding to make it light and scrumptious!

We were in town for Mardi Gras and had reservations with friends and family for dinner on a Friday night.

Our server was wonderful and took time to explain menu options, make recommendations and ensure that the allergy concerns in our party were handled.

For our first course, I chose the seared scallops and hubby got the fish cakes. The scallops were Excellent! Served with butternut squash grits and pesto. The dish was as beautiful as it was delicious. Hubby's fish cakes were ok but nothing special. The breading overpowered the halibut. Next we both had the spring salad. It was nice and fresh but it really isn't strawberry season and it showed. For our entrees, hubby choice the panko crusted fish and I picked the line caught fish. The panko crusted was mahi mahi, a nice big fillet with the crunchy panko. A bit greasy but overall good. The Noja potatoes were a hit. The Brussels Sprouts were crispy but greasy. Unfortunately the line caught fish was a disappointment. It was golden tilefish. The filet looked beautiful but had absolutely no taste. It was served with a lemon caper sauce but the lemon completely overshadowed the fish. The restaurant was nice enough to offer a different entree but as a pescatarian, the options were limited. If I was a meat eater, I would give them another shot. It's a shame that while living on the coast, it is difficult to find a restaurant that consistently knows how to prepare an upscale fish dinner.

My partner and I went straight to the top floor and were seated in a spot that allowed us to see the entire city view. It was very clear that this was a fine dining spot, because I was given a blazer by the restaurant staff since I failed to dress up for this occasion. I have never tried alligator meat before and managed to taste it for the first time here. It tasted like popcorn chicken and having Thai chili sauce was a good move because it offered the dish good flavor. I didn't use any of the ranch dressing. The gulf shrimp chowder was extremely tasty because it contained a good amount of black pepper and a lot of shrimp and cream corn, making the soup taste creamy in a flavorful way. My partner had great things to say about the duck, which was a specialty dish. The maple glaze was obvious and provided the duck breast meat with good flavor. However, the green beans were very plain with barely any seasoning. I ordered the farmer's plate, which was a vegetarian dish, and I thought that it was overall only okay because the snow peas were very undercooked, and they occupied majority of the dish. The green tomatoes, tomatillos, and zucchini all tasted very good. In terms of desserts, the chocolate cake was very hot and moist inside, which made it clear that it was fresh. The outer crust was very crispy but the inside tasted too plain. The key lime pie was very well-made, with a soft layer of graham crackers along with tasty mango syrup and hibiscus reduction defining the extra taste. Overall they both tasted great. I must mention that our server Ashleigh was very attentive and helpful. My partner and I appreciated her help a lot during our experience. Also, it was good to listen to some quiet live performances during the dinner because it added an extra level of vibe.

The food was less than a study in mediocrity. For apps we had the shrimp & Brussels. Shrimp was decent & greens were dressed well. Six for that price we should've had Argentine or Jumbo. We are on the coast yall!! But sadly we had small to medium sized shrimp. My BFF had the lamb chops medium well w/spinach, fingerling potatoes & blueberry gastric. Lamb was well & overcooked, spinach was salty as hell. Best on plate was the potatoes. $62 MP reeeeediculous!! I had the single pork chop w/gravy with collard greens. Yall they put effin' SUGAR in the greens. Reeeeeediculous! That's a family or personal preference & should not be in a restaurant w/o full disclosure. They tasted HORRIBLE but didn't surpass the pork chop. The breading was salty & the gravy was even more so. What a salty sick to my mouth mess! They told me the cheesecake was homemade-I doubt it. Strawberries were not all fresh either & they are in season. I wasted my $214 & they charge for using a CC! Baybay I'll NEVER BE BACK. EVER. Drinks were good tho.
