The Living History tour summoned us to Natchez for a first-time visit. Mammy'a Cupboard did not disappoint. The family that owns and operates the place is absolutely delightful under a steady crowd! The food was delicious and do not miss a piece of pie! I highly recommend stopping by while in Natchez. And who doesn't enjoy a quirky roadside attraction!? Great photo opportunity! read more

I been wanting to stop at this iconic landmark, Mammy's Cupboard in Mississippi on Highway U.S. 61. I finally stopped and been missing good food that is made in house. I had the meat loaf with three sides. For dessert it was coconut pie with a mountain of real meringue. I'm so glad I stopped before they move near the hospital in Natchez. I will go back when in Natchez. Bon Appetit! read more

I was visitind Natchez Mississippi with a friend who has been here all her life and wanted to return for a short two day trip. We passed this place which she said she's never been to we gotta go there so unique so the next day we turned around and went and inside and it was amazing as amazing as the outside that this place existed for so long and so unique I checked it out on yelp I must say the only thing I had was a piece of cake and it was delicious if I ever came back this way again I would definitely want to try their lunch. The people were so friendly when you walked inside so if you're passing by stop by, they only have lunch from 11 to 2 every day read more

Mammy's Cupboard - Huckleberry cake - American Near Me - Natchez, Mississippi

Overrated and underpriced. I had the chicken pot pie with small side salad and cornbread. That was $15 plus $3 for my soft drink. Then, I had to try the pie, coconut meringue. I can't remember the price but bottom line is my lunch cost more than $31including gratuity (yikes!), I walked out hungry, and the pie was the worst piece of coconut pie I have had anywhere. The meringue was notable but the filling was firm and gummy rather than pudding like, or creamy. The service was very good, and the server was a real character. Be advised that there is only one restroom, that is for both men and women, no lock on the door, only an chain! read more

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. read more

Great lunch spot for soups, salads and sandwiches. While really good I have to say that the desert was awesome. I had peanut butter pie. Oh my gosh was that good. If looking for a good lunch spot, this is the place. The staff are hard working and super friendly. The building was unique and very old with history. read more

Very good food and the folks that run it are friendly as can be. I can see why some people could be offended by the concept of the place, which dates back to 1940. The reality, however, is that they manage it with kindness and darn good cooking at a fair price. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

This is not right , mammy is a racial slur and you are benefiting off of a stereotype of a black slave woman who was forced to care for white children instead of her own . This place sells black face dolls inside . You should not support this business . read more

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! read more

I love this place. It's like stepping back in time. The food is always very good, but the desserts are to die for. I live 90 minutes away, but still drive up there when I can. Tori cooks all the desserts, and they are some of the best you will eat. One cool thing is that if you order a piece of pie or cake, you can actually get 1/2 slices of 2 kinds. If you ever get a chance stop by there for lunch. read more

The food was excellent! Service was great and the pie was delicious. The restaurant is cozy and the owners gave us a history of the origin of the restaurant. This is a family run and operated establishment. Will definitely return for their hospitality and home cooked meals. read more

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. read more

The food is fine and of course this place is somewhat famous, but I don't get why a restaurant doesn't take credit cards. I can pay with my watch just about anywhere I go. I don't even know where my checkbook is. The guy who waited on us was kind of a smarta$$ about it, somewhat insinuating we were the odd ones for not knowing it was a cash only restaurant. That's like getting a ticket for driving your car on a paved road and the officer saying "oh yeah, this is a horse and buggy only road". read more

Hooooo boy. This place tastes like my great grandma works in the kitchen. Just south of Natchez in a quaint little woman shaped building is this gem. It's been around a long time and I've driven by it a thousand times but with very narrow hours it was always just out of reach. Now I live less than an hour away so we took a trip for lunch. We were not disappointed. Super friendly Deep South service and insanely good food with daily specials makes it a must visit for the area. It's great to see that it's still operating given the politically correct, cancel culture that we live in today. The place has a somewhat sordid history that is well documented inside. We were the youngest people dining in that day, not counting the toddler running around that belonged to an employee. Stop by and give them a try. With endless blueberry lemonade you won't regret it. read more

Want a taste of real southern hospitality and amazing food? This is the place to get your Mississippi on! Mile high meringue pies of every kind, homemade spreads, homemade soup and warm homemade bread, fresh from the oven. Can't make up your mind? Pick two kinds of pie and get a half piece of each pie. This place will make give up your diet forever. We enjoyed a mini history lesson from the family owner, who was our server. And a little friendly talk from his darling, dimpled granddaughter. Plus a few amazing extra bites he gave us for free. Don't forget the blueberry lemonade... made fresh of course. Lunch only in this iconic location 11-2 closed Sundays !

Ok driving on HWY 61 near Natchez Ms I see this unique shaped restaurant and there were a lot of cars there so I stopped to try it out plus being honest I wanted to see inside as well. This place has been here since the 1940's. I wanted to try the red beans they looked great but unfortunately this place DOES NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!! They only take cash & checks. I was short on cash so just had a slice of homemade chocolate icebox pie and it was super delicious. If I'm ever in the area with between 11-2pm with cash I'll stop and try a hot meal. The staff was super friendly read more

Great food and an awesome and friendly server. My husband and I split the Mammy's Chicken Salad sandwich on homemade sourdough bread. The bread was SO soft! The chicken salad was good. Since the description said it had curry and ginger in it we got a sample that was enough for our party of 6 to taste. It was very tasty and didn't have too much mayo like some do. I got the blueberry lemonade and it was good. For dessert I got the hummingbird cake (yummy!). My husband got the lemon meringue pie. All desserts are homemade and our entire table was happy. The restaurant closes at 2:00 and we got there around 1:00 on a Tuesday. There was no wait. All the staff was very friendly. We might come back later this week before we head home to Ohio. read more

Great service great food and great atmosphere you can't go wrong here! I wish they were open longer but makes the anticipation even greater.

Stopped here to take a photo of the unique (even if it is politically incorrect) building and it was lunchtime so we decided to stay. Honestly I'm not a fan of southern food but I knew it would make my hubby happy. The hospitality was incredibly sincere and welcoming. The only vegetarian options were grilled cheese or PB and J so I decided to just go for the pie. Many choices but I had the banana caramel slice. The whipped cream tasted like Cool Whip but otherwise it was good. I definitely recommend the blueberry lemonade which had the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Husband had the roast beef sandwich with horseradish which gave it a nice kick. The bread was fresh and the vegetable beef soup and potato salad made for a very satisfying meal. Definitely worth a stop but bring cash or check and make sure you know it is only open Tuesday-Saturday, 11-2. read more

Adorable setting. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. The Ham & Swiss was pretty good, but changed its status to amazing when we added the muscadine sauce that's served on the side. Divine. They have a neat little policy that allows you to half the entrees and pies, so you can try more than one thing. The chocolate pie and banana caramel pie did not disappoint. It should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Natchez. read more

Home cooking mixed with the most amazing friendly hospitality, is the title to this review. Food is wonderful, service is fantastic and if you think that is not enough, try the Blueberry Lemonade. We had the special of the day which included cornbread ( broccoli cornbread), and if you dip that cornbread in the rosemary chicken clear gravy, you might pass out because it is so delightful. We didn't know this wonderful place existed under Mammy's skirt! If you drive by, stop and have a meal here. Not only is their restaurant front interesting, the inside is lovely in every way. read more

Wonderful food, fast and friendly service! You must try their pies! It is a great value for lunch.

If you don't have this restaurant on your list of places to visit be sure to add! Restuarant was super cute and everyone was super super friendly!! Tony our waiter was awesome! He educated us on so much history about Natchez, we loved our conversation with him. This is a family run restaurant and everything was super fresh and made from scratch. We shared a turkey sandwich which is made with a Blueberry Chutney and homemade bread that was delicious! We then indulged in dessert, we had a Chocolate Ice Box Pie and their famous Banana Caramel Pie. Both were best we've ever had!!! Do not skip the Pie!!! We are so happy to have found this place and can't wait to return. Thank you to everyone at the Restuarant. read more

*** 3.5 stars *** Small selection, but I really enjoyed my chicken pot pie. Overall a bit pricey for the area, probably because it is touristy (is it shaped like Mammy and you dine in her skirt!). The salad that came with pie I could do without (personal preference - others I was with loved it - I just personally hate sour cream and couldn't believe how much "stuff' there was on top of the salad). The sandwiches just looked okay, so I'm glad that I went with the pot pie (Friday special). The lemonade that they are famous for is definitely on the sweet side, so if you have a sweet tooth, this would be your thing. For pie, we had the lemon ice box, which was covered in a lot of icing. I think I would have preferred the lemon meringue pie. I definitely enjoyed seeing and experiencing Mammy's, and enjoyed my pot pie, but the rest of it was just okay to me. I know that others I was with come here all the time and really enjoy it, so check it out for yourself and decide! read more
