Fried Chicken Wing Breakfast Platter
Na H.

Came here for breakfast. Sugar Mama's is an order online, pickup restaurant. There is no dine in option. I placed my order online, paid, and they gave me a pickup time. There is only street parking and it can get full quick, but there are side streets you can park on that are steps away. Upon entering, the ambiance was quiet with the smell of French toast, fried chicken and fried fish in the air, which was a good thing. I gave the pleasant young lady my order number and she gathered my order. We ordered the chicken wing breakfast platter with cheese egg and home fries; the French toast breakfast platter with egg (no cheese) and home fries, an order of grits, and a blue lemonade. My wait was not long. The waiting area in the restaurant is VERY small, so waiting in your car until your order time would be ideal. Our food was still warm when we got it home. The chicken wing platter was good: chicken fresh, crispy, not greasy; the home fries were seasoned well; the eggs were not my favorite, they were bland even with the cheese; the grits, although I don't eat them, my other party said they were cooked well they just needed salt and pepper. The French toast platter was a true winner: the French toast was delicious and needed NO syrup! Light, fluffy and with just the right amount of sweetness. You can also get the French toast as the bread for your breakfast sandwich! Gonna have to try one the next time. The blue lemonade was really sweet, so if that's your thing, you won't be disappointed. All in all, a great breakfast (they sell lunch too) place to come pick up a great meal.

Grits with cheese
Deanna C.

I'd like to start this review with a tip: if you plan to order from this place, make sure to order online, as they do not accept walk-in customers. With that said, I love this restaurant! The staff is courteous and friendly. The establishment is a typical carryout, and despite what others say about the neighborhood being sketchy, it looks like a standard neighborhood to me. I felt safe and followed my usual rules when in Baltimore: don't stare, and mind your own business. I ordered grits with cheese, eggs, and a sausage, egg, and cheese French toast, and everything was fantastic. I will definitely come back!

Wednesday 3/26/25 This spot came to my attention from a Mrchimetime TikTok review, and he had ALOT of praise for some of the items, so I had to get them. The waffles and jerk chicken cheesesteak were among the popular items he reviewed, but unfortunately, those items have been removed from the menu. I made a takeout order online and got the French toast sandwich $10.27 and the pancakes & wings $17. Also, the spot is a strictly takeout spot so don't expect any seating. - The French toast sandwich was great. The batter they use is on point, and they either sprinkle some sugar on it or toss it in it to get that sweet French toast taste and flavor. - The pancakes and wings were alright, but nothing about either item was particularly noteworthy or worth getting again. While the pancakes & wings were disappointing, the French toast sandwich was a HIT and is definitely an item I'd come back for.

Steak tips, eggs and grits with cheese

Ms Shina has the best food in south Baltimore hands down. My apologies if I cannot find a pic but my reviews don't lie. If you have not been, just GO. Everything is delicious, even the drinks. I once had an issue and dm'd Shina and she made everything whole. Regardless of that, I would have still supported. I said everything was amazing now go try it. Order online for faster results but the wait times are not like before. Enjoy and tell Ms Shina MiMi sent you!

Fish platter with eggs & grits.
Danielle J M.

Let me just say, I had to travel waaaaay across town for this food and my goodness it was worth it. I pre-ordered fish, eggs, bacon, chicken wings, fried potatoes, French toast, grits, half n half, and a blue magic drink. The location is very small inside, so just wait in your car until you receive the message that your food is ready. When I arrived, I waited an extra 20 minutes for my food & it came out hot and fresh! Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection! What stole the show was those perfectly seasoned chicken wings and fried potatoes. I am going back tomorrow for those items specifically! Yes, they were that good! I spent about $70 for all my food to include the drinks, and I'll do it again! Disclaimer, I am not a sweets person, I know the name of this place is called Sugar Mamma's, so I took a chance going here. The half n half and blue magic drinks were very sweet, I had to cut it with water. With that, I would still go back and buy it again lol. I only have a few photos of my food as I couldn't wait to dig into it. Next time.

Salmon BLT
Cello's P.

So I decided to finally give Sugar Mama's a taste. After always seeing the food on Instagram I ordered something to see if it lives up to the hype. The food was amazing this was easily some of the best salmon I've ever tasted. I still don't know what's the sauce they put on it but it's delicious. My only thing is the location was hard for me to find parking & had to park a block up but other than that I had no issues. Have to circle back for another update cause I heard the breakfast is can't miss as well

I came to visit my daughter from Houston. I told her to go on tik tok to find us somewhere to eat cause I was starving. She sent this spot so we took the 27 minute drive. I already knew the spot would not compare to Texas breakfast because of course we do everything better, but they proved me wrong. The food was awesome! I wont lie, we came prepared for a sit down breakfast but this is a take out only spot. You walk in and you see the chefs in action!! You order online and you wait til they text you that it's ready. Don't let the neighborhood stop you from going. Park on the street and you will be fine. I got the fried salmon and grits and they were to die for!! My daughter got the French toast sandwich but you have to be ready for the sweet and savory! And that Kool aid definitely will have you knocking on diabetes door. We definitely plan on returning tomorrow.

Fish and grits w/home fries
Amber F.

Ordered via delivery. Fish and grits dish was well seasoned, but I wish the fish was put in a separate container for delivery so it didn't get soggy

Omg i ate this food so fast... I'm not a big breakfast person but everything was so good. This review is based solely on sampling off someone else's DoorDash order. The food did arrive warm. Bacon crispy Eggs I don't even eat eggs like that but they were amazing The French toast was very tasty you don't need syrup. The grits were a perfect consistency needed more salt and pepper but tasty nonetheless. I've been hesitant about going to the location to try them but I will be door dashing them soon.

French toast platter add Fried Chicken; French Toast Sandwich sub Turkey bacon
Shai M.

Sugar Mamas did not miss! We had the French toast platter with Fried Chicken, the turkey bacon French toast sandwich, and home fries--every bite was flavor packed. Heads up: the wait can be long, so order online and wait a bit before arriving. Definitely worth the wait!

Fried fish platter
Arista W.

Baltimore is always an adventure I will say that lol. The food is delicious here, might not look it but it is. I had the best fried fish from here. So fresh and crispy and it wasn't greasy! The service is great and the food came out in a timely manner. My best friend and I want to come back to try other items. Everything looked so good.

French Toast Platter: scrambled eggs, grits w/ cheese, and sausage.
Jahnae N.

Recently went here for Sunday breakfast. Ordered online and the service was quick. There was a few people ahead of us when we got there but we were in & out within 10 minutes. The place has a carryout vibe and there isn't any seating. The food was delicious. It reminded me of weekend breakfasts at my grandma house. The french toast is very sweet so be mindful, but all the flavor, softness and crispy edges made it a 5/5. The sausage was good, the scrambled eggs were fluffy and cheesy (both 5/5) The only thing that I didn't rave over was the grits, the texture was fine but it lacked seasoning. And i understand because everyone likes different seasoning on their grits. I would ask for salt/sugar/pepper packets if you want seasoned grits. All in all, i would go back.

French toast, turkey bacon, egg and cheese sandwich
Lauren C.

This place did not disappoint. I was craving a turkey, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast and I stumbled upon this place, which took my turkey bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich to the next level by changing out the traditional toast with French toast. Where has this sandwich been my whole life? For starters, I used the online ordering system which made ordering very easy as the app lets you know when your food is ready as there is nowhere to sit in this place. As I stated previously I ordered the French toast, turkey bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a side of cheese grits, and an orange juice. The star of my meal definitely was the sandwich as it was sweet, savory, and very filling. The grits weren't really anything to write home about. For me they were just your standard grits with a little bit of cheese on top. The orange juice was a bottle of Tropicana. The staff was friendly. My food was made fresh to order and came out hot. All in all, if you're looking for a place that makes a solid breakfast, this hole in the wall spot is the perfect place for you. Definitely recommend.

What is the blue crush drink?

Is this in west baltimore?? Is the neighborhood/location safe to go to?

Yes, it is West Baltimore. The neighborhood, Irvington, has its charm but is also a poorer city neighborhood. I generally feel safe when I have gone through the neighborhood, but I would probably not go after dark. If you're uncomfortable parking… Read more

Cafe On the Square - Tuna salad sandwich on sunflower bread

I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

Solid Experience, But I Miss the Old Owner…read more Café on the Square is a reliable spot with decent food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the dishes were tasty, but nothing that really stood out. That being said, I miss the old owner--there was something special about his presence that made every visit feel more welcoming and personal. I hope the new management keeps things moving in the right direction. I'll definitely return, but it's just not quite the same without the old vibe.

I don't know how anyone could give this place fewer than five stars; if I could, I would give it…read moresix! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the Southern Slammer Sandwich (with the grits) and my sister had the Fried Chicken, Biscuit and Gravy Omelet (with the hash browns). We couldn't stop saying how good they were! The service was on point, everyone was very nice, and the noise level was fine. Here is something I literally have never experienced anywhere else: My sister has a couple of food allergies and she gave the waitress a piece of paper where she listed out what she can and cannot have. A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.

I know this Maryland favorite . However,my food was very disappointing I sent two entrees back …read more I ordered the "great your grits on " blackened salmon no blackened seasoning they use oldbay. The waiteness suggested the fried chicken gravy omelette under cooked and chicken was hard . When cut the omelette eggs started running .This also was sent back .Buffalo Shrimp Deviled Egg Platter . Was ok great presentation however need some salt and mayonnaise not creamy .The manager was great was still trying to satisfy me I keep my grits and ordered a side of bacon . I also be careful in which garage you park in because they don't validate all garages . African American entrees but the seasoning wasn't good. I'm sorry oldbay is not answer . Next time I'm in town I would love to offer my service because miss Shirley wouldn't be pleased. Ambiance was great for familles. You are able hold a conversation amongst the table. I wasn't they only one complaining about my entrees. Next time I'm in town I would love to offer my service because miss Shirley wouldn't be pleased. I'm from the south .
