Everything is wonderful-- to die for. Pork pops and cheese Danish- my favorite I don't know what Amanda is talking about. The servers are very nice and accommodating esp since most people in line do not know what they want! Can't wait to go back. My family requests this each time they visit! read more

Pork pops, enough said, they are delicious. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly and efficient.

The place feels like home and the service and food are both amazing. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

Sweet Mama's - Chicken,egg and cheese biscuit - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

I've been a customer here for 25 years. The customer service has been consistently the same... terrible. You can expect to be greeted by a rude individual at the pastry counter or the register. Speaking of the register watch out for their additional fees and charges. The charges would not be so bad if the food was halfway decent (for the price) or the service was great. Eggs are premade- so don't even bother with those. on a typical summer day they will be out of everything by 10:30am even though Winn-Dixie is right across the parking lot. It's open until 2:00 but kitchen staff usually cuts it off about 1:15. I don't blame them though... Such a miserable group of people working there, I would try to duck out early too! I'm sad this island staple has gone downhill over the years... There is competition on the island now- we don't have to tolerate this anymore. read more

Sweet Mama's has the best red velvet and key lime cakes. My daughter said the chocolate is delicious, but as I don't like chocolate, I personally can't say. I fell in love with them when my husband took me there 22 yrs ago, before they moved to the island. I wish they offered shipping, because I'd definitely order monthly for my husband. read more

Really wanted to like the place as we try to support small businesses. I had a chicken salad sandwich, my husband had a rueben sandwich. Both were $9, his came with chips, mine did not. There was reasonable amount of chicken salad on the sandwich but it tasted very meh. My husband's sandwich had so little meat that it looked as though there was nothing on the bread until he removed the top bread to look. Nice people but the food was very disappointing. read more

First of all this is a biscuit shop so if you wanted traditional breakfast this is not it . Not a keto friendly stop . This remind me of the hotel breakfast at holiday in on steroids. I had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, it was ok the staff was real friendly. Place was clean and the assortment of bake goods was great. Quiet nice spot . I can tell this is a spot for regulars. Had that "cheers" vibe Norm !!!!! read more

I would recommend the cheese danish. Quite delicious. Pork pops, were dry, but okay. read more

Sweet Mama's Bakery is a great breakfast spot. Order from a tantalizing display case of baked goods which includes the best cinnamon roll that we have found on the island, also delicious fruit turnovers. If you know, you can order bacon which comes in a generous portion. While it may be missed by some visitors, the locals know it well, as the friendly cashier recognized most by name. We always visit when we are on the island, often more than once. read more

Omg. Get the biscuit. Get it! Add the bacon. All the bacon. Great little place that you can tell has been around since forever. Quick and casual and I went for a quick breakfast sandwich when heading back to the real world. Will come back again and again. read more

the BEST cinnamon roll you will ever have, ask for it warmed. their bacon is so crispy and they pile it up on the biscuits, it's our new go to for breakfast on ssi. read more

Great food and good service. Love the muffins and the sausage egg and cheese biscuit.

Sweet Mama's is a St. Simons Island tradition. I was referred to this restaurant by one of my good friends whose wife's family is from St. Simons. The recommendation was spot-on because the food I tried was delicious. I visited on a Saturday morning and the restaurant received a steady stream of customers, mostly locals with a lot of take-out orders. The restaurant can be hard to find if you don't know where to look. It's in the Winn-Dixie shopping center and it faces away from the street, so you won't see the restaurant until you drive into the parking lot and explore a little. If the 1627 Frederica Road address doesn't work for you, try 98 Retreat Plaza. This is a simple, casual, no frills restaurant. There isn't much to speak of when it comes to atmosphere or ambiance. The interior amounts to a single office-like, strip mall space with a glass display case for baked goods and pastries, an ordering/food prep counter, and a bunch of easily movable small tables in the dining area. Sweet Mama's is only open for breakfast and lunch, Monday-Saturday, 6:45am to 2:30pm. The menu consists of sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), muffins, buns, danishes, doughnuts, bagels, cookies, and cakes. They also have salads, a soup of the day, and housemade chili. Expect to spend anywhere from $2.50 to $4.50 for most breakfast items and $6.50 to $9.50 for most lunch items. I had a "Meat, Cheese & Egg Biscuit" ($4.50) and some Pork Pops ($0.60 each). The meat, cheese, and egg biscuit consisted of a flaky biscuit with a round sausage patty, a thin slice of cheese, and a thick egg patty. The egg wasn't prepared in typical egg breakfast sandwich fashion. It looked steamed (or something). The sandwich was fresh, delicious, and filling. The sausage meat was savory and the egg was light and fluffy. The Pork Pops are a Sweet Mama's signature item. They are small, almost bite-sized pieces of bread, sausage, bacon, and cheese. I saw customers ordering this by the boat load. Well, maybe not boat load, but plate load. 12 pops here, 12 pops there. They were tasty and addictive. At one point, the kitchen ran out of pops. I noticed some of the foods were reheated in a microwave prior to serving. Service is, for the most part, efficient. You pick up your order at the counter no matter if dining in or taking out. If on St. Simons Island, I recommend this joint. read more

I haven't visited Sweet Mama's for a few years, so I stopped in today for some pastry. I was not impressed with their service as I had to repeat my order an astounding six times. I still can't wrap my head around how a request for a simple cheese danish and a cookie can be so confusing. I was even less impressed once I got my danish. The pastry was tough, heavy, and had a strange lardy quality. The "cream cheese" filling was a sickly sweet syrup. The cookie was no better. I threw them both in the trash, something I never do since I was taught not to waste food. But they were simply inedible. read more

Our trip to St Simons would not have been complete without a stop at Sweet Mamas. The food was delicious. A nice hearty biscuit complete with butter and the fixings started us off. The Pork pops are what drew us there and they did not disappoint!!! Really delicious!!! But the topper to it all was the sweets. The cheese danish was amazing and the sticky buns were so good we couldn't stop at one. . Very delightful place. We will be back!!! read more

Sweet Mama's - Willow lived the cookies!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

We went here a couple times on vacation. The breakfast sandwich we ordered was just OK, but the bakery items were delicious. We ordered the cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip muffins and a cheese danish. All three were fresh and really tasty. Definitely come here for their sweets. On a side note, we ordered a couple pork pops here. Maybe it's because I'm not from the south, but I really don't understand the attraction to them. But every time we went to Sweet Mama's, there were people buying dozens and dozens of them. read more

Excellent food. Seems like a great spot for the locals and older folks. Highly recommend! The baked chicken melt sandwich and potato salad is very tasty! read more

Great sandwiches and friendly staff! Best lunch I had in St Simons when there in October

Sweet Mama's has great small town vibes. The sweets are tasty and look homemade. AMANDA WAS THE SWEETEST! She was so intentional with her service and deserves a raise;) pax et bonum read more

Sweet Mama's - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

We schedule at least one visit every time I'm on the island.... cookies, pork pops and cheese crisps.

Walking to Sweet Mama's is like walking back in time to 1970. The restaurant is tired and everything is old. I was going to give the restaurant 5 stars but the $0. 50 credit card surcharge at the register really turned me off. The sweet tea is pure sugar, might also double up as syrup. The people behind the counter looked angry and kept fighting among each other. My wife loves their cookies, so I will likely come back. read more

Went in for some pastries and the guy working in the place had no idea what he was selling and didn't seem to even want to wait on us. The lady who checked us out was kind and helpful. The pastries were disappointing. Their tea was good. read more

It is not a trip to St. Simons Island if I do not visit Sweet Mama's. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Here are some of the reasons why: 1.) Red Velvet Cake. Sold in a square not unlike a brownie, this cake is moist and delicious, and its frosting (cream cheese with nuts) is divine. 2.) Pork Pops. A northerner like myself should be completely baffled by this phenomenon. A tiny bite-sized biscuit is made with bacon, sausage, and cheese, built-in. You eat a bunch of these savory gems, and call it "breakfast." 3.) Good sandwiches and lunch foods. 4.) All other cakes are out of control. Like the red velvet, there are many other brownie-sized cakes to be had. There is lemon, key lime, pound cake, and an outrageous all-chocolate version. Sweet Mama's can NOT be beat!!! read more

If you like sausage balls, then I'm you have to give the pork pops a try. They're awesome. So many other things to try, but the pork pops won't disappoint. We already swing by and get several dozen frozen to take home to keep in the freezer to hols us over until our next visit to Saint Simons Island. read more

Ur cookies r the best. Really better than my grandmothers and that is saying a lot. Been coming to St Simons for 30 plus years. Now that I have a place on Blyth Island I am in heaven. read more

While the food is always amazing, to say that the staff is rude is an understatement! I lived in Glynn County for over 20 years and have always been a Sweet Mama's lover. Every time I come home, I always bring friends and family to Sweet Mama's for the amazing pastries and famous pork pops. After today's visit, however, I can with 100% confidence and certainty that I will never be back. I have never been treated with such disrespect as I was today. And Christy, who checked me out, was the rudest of all. She gets the prize for the worst attitude! From her snarky response when I asked for a coffee to-go, to her slamming the receipt and pen on the counter, she was awful from the moment we walked in. I will miss the pork pops, but that's the price businesses pay when they haveq audacious staff! read more

Went there for breakfast last Tuesday. Arrived just after 10AM. Ordered two sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. Was told they only had 1 egg left. (BTW, there's a Winn Dixie just across the parking lot.) Server seemed angry...not sure why... Ordering was a little disjointed. Overall experience was disappointing. read more

We headed over to Sweet Mama's after I burned the breakfast I was cooking at our vacation condo. Best decision ever! My husband had a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and I had a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Both were delicious, and the biscuits definitely taste homemade. But the shining star of Sweet Mama's is the pork pop. It reminds me of a sausage ball + a biscuit. Sausage, bacon and cheese mixed together in a bite-size biscuit. They give you a free one on your first visit, but we ended up ordering two more while we were eating, and another half dozen to take back to the condo with us. The service was great: friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely come back. read more

My Mom grew up in St. Simons so we went to the island quite a bit when I was growing up. One of the most memorable things was sweet mamas and the pork pops. I absoutely love them. It is a must if you are visiting for breakfast. They are these wonderful little biscuits filled with cheese, pork, and bacon. YUM. If this second location ever closed I will be heartbroken. read more

Had the hardest time finding SMs, because it is now located in the Winn- Dixie Shopping Center. Unfortunatelt, both Yelp and Trip Advisor still have it down the road on Frederica Ave. Their coffee is brewed but good. Their pastries are just as good as the reviews promise. I was hungry and it was pretty close to lunch so I ordered a Cuban sandwich. It was hot, tasty, and loaded with pork. While the seating area was close to empty, there was a steady flow of locals picking up orders to go. The staff are laid back and friendly but the service is quick and efficient. There certainly is a reason the locals love this place. read more

Accidentally stumbled across this place in the Winn Dixie shopping center after looking for it at the location shown on social media. I guess it moved recently. This place is absolutely not a fancy place. After you place your order you round up your napkins, spoons, forks & knives and try to grab a table. We split a six pack of Biscuits with Egg Squares and Sausage Patties and a couple orders of Bacon. No calories and carbs in this breakfast! Food was quite good. Counter help needs to be retrained in customer service. Smile, people. read more

Sweet Mama's? More like Sweet Mother of God this is divine food! They definitely have the crunchy good ice that makes you feel less anxious and I'm half convinced their sweet tea is from the fountain of youth. The porkpops are the best way to start any day. read more

pork pops are too die for. depends on the day though because sometimes they can be dry and small. the employees are kinda rude and not welcoming at all. read more

Two words...uh, no. Unless we ordered the wrong thing. 1st time visit...Young man said, "we would let you try a pork pop, but we don't have any more." Then we watched as others behind us ordered and ordered and ordered. Hmmm...must be for regulars...and there seemed to be quite a few. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing but biscuits were very dry and flavorless; sausage pre-formed like any fast food joint. Floors not so clean. For just a few dollars more, we could have gotten a whole breakfast buffet. $15 for 2 less than special biscuits and two coffees seems excessive. Sorry...I wanted to like this place but not so much. read more

Modest decor and very good everyday food. Had the tuna salad salad - great greens, cucumber and real deep red tomatoes topped with a scoop of delicious tuna salad. Very good salad dressings also. Recommend the balsamic vinaigrette. All servers are very friendly. Great neighborhood spot. read more

As soon as we got here... The gentleman ahead of us ordered pork pops... They said they were out, then he ordered biscuits... They said they were out. He left. We ordered biscuits, was told it'll be a five minute wait. We ordered and waited. The next person to come in and order, ordered pork pops... They were available. Not the brightest staff. Too much weed before work I think. Before our order came out, we were told they only had one egg left, our order required two... When I asked for the 75 cent refund of the difference I got a confused look. Eventually got it. I'm not going back to this place. Ever. Food was blah. read more

After nearly an hour of trying to find this location, we hung in there- and found it in the Winn Dixie shopping Center!!! We were enthused by the reviews which kept us looking. Once here though the goodies were sparse, about 5 choices. So it was noon maybe they had more earlier . I had a cranberry muffin that was light and tasty. Coffee was nothing special. Service at the counter just ok, the you g guy cleaning crumbs on the carpet was the friendliest! I had bites of my husband's Cuban sandwich and it was amazing! read more

I definitely gained weight at this place. They have something called Pork Pops that are kind of like a biscuit but smaller; these pops have bacon/pork and cheese in them. Their biscuits are hearty and I have a hard time finishing the egg casserole and cheese one. Now sweets are their signature food so just accept the fact that you are addicted before you even get in there. Try their Sticky Buns for sure read more
