    Historical landmark.
    Serra S.

    Home cooked food made with love and fresh ingredients. Mile high meringue pies, ice box pies, and house baked cakes that tower forever made in-house by Tori. The meals come with a hearty beef vegetable soup. I had the Sesame chicken salad and 1/2 a Ruben. Very flavorful and filling. Warm friendly service accommodates special requests, mix and match sandwiches, or 1/2 orders of their amazing deserts. A lot of daily regulars enjoying their lunch with the staff knowing their customers names and orders. Very comfortable shabby chic farm house dining like you're eating in your Maw Maws kitchen. A must try house-made blueberry lemonade.

    Mammy's is a very unique establishment given that you are dining in the dress of a very large woman. The skin color of the lady has been lightened which appears to be an attempt to be less offensive so I guess they're trying right? Putting that aside, it is a unique atmosphere in which to dine. That being said, the inside of the restaurant feels like you're at your grandma's kitchen table. Very quaint and no frills. The restaurant is open for lunch only so get in early so they don't run out of specials as it's a small restaurant and popular with locals. The food is southern country home cooking which is certainly not fine dining but has its merits. The Reuben is VERY good and when you order they allow you to do half portions so you can try multiple options which I love. The desserts are where mammy consistently shines.. All the pies are amazing. Also, our server was lovely and accommodating to any and all requests which she told us from the beginning. We loved the service and tipped above 20% bc it made our lunch so great. I would definitely stop at Mammy's if you're passing through Natchez at least to say that you did!

    Excellent stop before starting the Natchez Trace drive. They're only open till two so plan for lunch. Our server, Lewis, I think, was full of information about the restaurant, the area, and local history. His daughter is also a server, and his wife cooks. We had a sesame chicken salad sandwich and half a PBJ/ half a grilled cheese. All were served on thick sliced, fresh baked sourdough. All were delicious! Each plate came with homemade vegetable soup and either potato salad or house salad with homemade dressing. Again- delicious. We shared a dessert, scrumptious banana caramel pie and had blueberry lemonade which was very refreshing. Not only was lunch tasted and quickly made but the stories and structure were epic! Do yourself a favor and make this your number one lunch stop when visiting Natchez!

    A sliver of coconut meringue and chocolate meringue pie. Excellent.

    Had the Wednesday special which was roasted rosemary chicken with a brown sauce, rice, a small side salad, and broccoli cornbread. Everything tasted very well really thought this was a true southern experience. The broccoli cornbread threw me until I tasted it, since I like broccoli, I thought it was very good. The chicken was tender the gravy was perfect so all in all the main meal was very good. We also sample two slices of pie a coconut meringue and chocolate meringue and was given a small slice of lemon meringue to even things up. All three were excellent, but my favorite turned out to be the lemon meringue.

    Food and service was excellent! My rueben was SO tasty- meat tender and cheese and sauce really good. Side salad had homemade dressing and it also came with soup! GET's Special of the Day Pork loin was really good. He loved the rice dressing and Southern style green beans. We took a piece of Hummingbird cake to-go (had never tasted Hummingbird cake!) for later and loved it! AND, of course the homey atmosphere of this unusual historic building was delightful!

    Roast turkey and chicken salad sandwiches with all the fixings. Peanut butter and banana Carmel pie slices

    Outstanding and off the beaten path this place is a must stop for tourists and locals. Food is delicious but it is only open for three hours and there is a great deal of takeout orders from the across the bridge crowd. Come hungry and you won't be disappointed

    Wonderful staff, excellent food, fun little off the beaten path hole in the wall so to speak. The chicken salad sandwich and vegetables soup were perfect! The even give you a half slice of pie!

    Founded in 1940, this restaurant is in the shape of a 28-foot-tall woman of color with a hoop skirt that houses the gift shop and dining room. It is so named because of the woman of color character in the move "Gone With The Wind". It has been remodeled and renovated several times and gone through many changes. It currently only serves lunch and desserts. The employees are quite friendly, the Reuben sandwich was good, as was the soup. The hummingbird cake (white cake with pineapples, bananas and nuts mixed in, cream cheese frosting, nut toppings) was fabulous. There is a surcharge on using a credit card to pay, though they do accept cash and checks. Inside was decorated for Halloween, and they had several gnomes. I am not sure I will be back. I had passed by in the past and not gone in. I don't even know what to really think.

    Omg! Roux 61 10/10! My boyfriend and I were headed to…read moreMississippi and we passed through Natchez and saw this spot and we had to try it out! As soon as we walked in the service was really good! It was really nice inside! They were super friendly and fast! I got the grilled shrimp and they were seasoned very well! The waitress told us that it's the same butter they use for the chargrilled oysters and honestly it didn't disappoint! The fries were fresh and very crispy! My boyfriend go the butterfly fried shrimp and he said it was really good as well! I tried and shrimp an it was seasoned well! Not too salty or anything just right! The hushpuppies he had were also good too! It's a really nice spot to stop if you're in the Natchez area!

    The best: Service by Jack was great. Great happy hour prices! Recommend the hush puppies…read more Charbroiled oysters were new to us. These were ok but charbroiled is probably not my cup of tea. Raw next time. Had the catfish LeBeaux and it was ok - a large portion. I'm not a fan of etoufee on top of fried food as the fried batter quickly becomes soggy. I should have ordered blackened as it might have been better. The etoufee was thick and bland. Luckily they had hot sauce on the table which made it better. Not sure why they don't have any cayenne in the etoufee recipe. Accompanying bread stick was stale. Tried the famous Alligator and Shrimp cheesecake. It was ok. Very rich and interesting flavor. The Yelp highly recommended plantation cake is no longer on the menu.

Shouldn't have worried. These folks had it going on. From the light, airy bread to the jumbo shrimp and roast beef and gravy, we were transported back to New Orleans.

    Overall 3.5 Stars…read more Located in Natchez, small quaint sandwhich shop has decent New Orleans food. Taking a lunch break from a conference, I found this on Yelp and we decided to try the place out. Ambiance - 3.5 Stars The old home which was converted into the sandwhich shop has very limited seating; only bar stools and can be elbow to elbow on space. There maybe about 12 bar stools so it might be best to call in or order at the counter as take out. Service - 4 Stars The staff were friendly and pleasant. The main cook checked on us regularly after we made a "New Orleans connection". Food: 3.5 - 3.75 Stars If you are getting a PoBoy meal it comes with a 6" or 10" sandwich and a bag of chips. Drinks and other items or extra. We ordered the following: The Junkin: a traditional Debris slow cooked roast. 3.5 4 stars The PoBoy had the usual condiments of lettuce, tomato and pickles w a light spread of mayo. The buttered bread was light and outside layered were crunchy. Just as it should be. The rendered pot roasted was flavorful and slightly juicy. I prefer my Debris to be more wet. 2. Large Cup of Red Beans and Rice - 3.5 Stars The beans were tendered but prefer to have the beans whole I stead of purée. The sausage and beef were good and the seasoning was good. Prefer it to be a bit more spicer. We recommend the place if you need a quick meal in Natchez near the waterfront.
