On our way through Angola on a trip across the country, I'm so glad we had a chance to stop at…read moreMama's for breakfast. The portions are generous, the prices reasonable, the servers welcoming and friendly, and the place itself is warm and inviting. It's just the sort of place that scratches that "home cooking" itch, without you having to do the dishes afterwards. The biscuits and gravy alone are worth the trip - even a half-order is plenty to satisfy the craving for a big fluffy biscuit covered in rich sausage gravy. Seriously, I could eat that stuff with a spoon, it's so good. My wife and I both got one of their casserole skillets, and we had leftovers for further down the road. For a meal that feels like you're home in Angola, take yourself to Mama's and tuck in. It's worth it.

Instead of ordering my usual Old Mother Hubbard, I took a chance on the BPT. I'm glad that I did. This is by far the best BPT I think I've ever had. Hand pounded thick, fresh, juicy & tender. Perfect amount of seasonings! I opted for their sweet cole slaw to dress the old BPT with. When you grow up penguin point - you KNOW. 10/10 Next one will be with cheese and ketchup.

I saw this restaurant from the main street while we were heading to downtown Angola. When we got to…read morethe downtown, there wasn't really anything we wanted to do or see. But, we were hungry. We looked for nearby restaurants (my sister used Google, I think, and I used Yelp), and we both decided that this looked good. I was kind of excited, since I'd seen it earlier. I just love little diners. It's a pretty small restaurant with a very friendly staff. They have a nice variety of meals, and their prices are incredibly reasonable; I got a large salad for under $11, and my sister got a small one for under $9. The small one at home would have easily been $12- $15 at home! Both were huge! I took home probably 2/3 of mine and half of my sister's. and got 2 more meals out of it. And their iced tea was freshly brewed and they kept refilling our glasses. They also had a variety of pies, although we didn't want any. They do charge 3% for using credit cards, but they also make it abundantly clear before you pay; there are signs on both doors, another by the register, and they also tell you. I actually complimented them on how they inform their customers of that fact. If you're hungry and near the Village Kitchen, it is absolutely worth stopping.

We noticed the sign, seat yourself, and found a number of clean tables. We were quickly approached by the server, provided us with a menu and took our drink order.

All our food was cooked great, quick turnaround and great service.

We were the last ones on the dining side, but we were still there because the kitchen was so slow!! The next thing we knew our server was throwing the check on our table without asking if anyone wanted anything else, another drink, or dessert. We took the hint and left. I'm not sure what is going on with this place, but the service was mediocre at best, the food was mediocre, and the bartender doesn't know how to make a drink. I have always stood up for this place, but we will not be back.

Thanks to the dishwasher we were welcomed and provided with glasses of ice water long before our…read moreserver appeared and our drink orders were taken. Kudos to him for observing and responding to the fact that we were seated and not yet greeted by our server. And yet, his attention to the situation is a check in the plus column for a decent restaurant that was unfortunately, seriously under staffed when we stopped by for dinner recently. It seems that the owner or manager was essentially handing ALL of the front of the house duties, as well as tending the bar -- greeting, seating, waiting on the table, making and serving drinks, running food, and handing payment at the end of the night. A child, apparently the owner/manager's daughter occasionally bussed some tables and strutted around wielding a fly swatter (though fortunately I didn't see any flies--but there was outdoor seating). I could only see one person in the kitchen (there could have been another but I'm not sure). All in all it meant everything was S-L-O-W. That said, we were the perfect group for the situation--a bunch of Boomer college friends fully engaged in conversation and reminiscing about the good old days -- which compensated -- to some degree -- the time we waited for service. Well, eventually things got rolling. Our drink order was taken along with an appetizer for the table. The drinks arrived after a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the house version of an old fashioned made with a bourbon distilled at a local/regional distillery. Tasty -- my only nitpick -- such drinks should be served with a LARGE chunk of ice, not a scoop of cubes from the ice machine. The appetizer for the table was the house crab dip -- an excellent choice for sharing and the flavor was spot on. For my entree I chose the lamb "lollipops." The three or four lamb chops were perfectly cooked, juicy, tender and unctuous -- really unctuous since the fat cap was not trimmed -- but as a great food critic once said, "meat without fat is dead protein -- so in short, the meat was bursting with flavor. The asparagus were nicely roasted. The sauce was rich and garlicky (thanks to confit cloves of garlic). It complemented the gaminess of the lamb perfectly, but the amount of sauce a bit more than necessary for a truly balanced composed dish. I still enjoyed it immensely and would order it again. (By the way, I was able to sample my wife's tuna. The 3/16 of an inch sear on the tuna was perfect and the rare interior was exactly how tuna should be cooked.) The owner/manager was appropriately apologetic about the pace of service and I will say that she, and the kitchen, did their best under the circumstances. As I mentioned, we were a good group because our goal was time together, not precisely timed service. I would hope another couple of employees could rectify the slow service and build their clientele because the food is quite good, the location is excellent and I loved the decor, especially the vintage outboard motors including one or two designed by the great industrial designer Brooks Stevens from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
