cook was awesome and he gave me some spices to tae back home. but the waitress we had was INSANE SLOW. AWFUL, took her and hour just to even get our checks. and when we were ready we all looked at her and she would walk away. Then after the horrible service ONLY FROM the waitress, she put gratuity on the check. she would have made more if she wouldn't had. Food was excellent but that waitress was TERRIBLE. More...

We tried the wings and waffles along with a side of beans and rice and it was all amazing. The portion size was more than enough and satisfying. The flavor was on point and the friendliness of the staff made this place a restaurant we would go back to. Definitely recommended! More...

This place is perfect as is. Friendly staff very clean and the food is just like home. Don't let the small space deter you. It is very comfortable and the owners make the most of this space. We will always make time for this special place when we visit New Orleans. More...

You get a lot of food for your money. The chicken was amazing. The cornbread was really moist. The waffle was very fluffy and thick. Everything is fresh so make sure you aren’t in a rush. The workers said New Orleans all over with our southern hospitality. Amazing experience. Going back for sure. More...

Great breakfast spot with a home-cooked feel. I had the chicken and waffles, while my partner had the Lil Momma plate with hot sausage, grits, eggs and toast. We didn't try the cornbread, but did get beignets. Everything was tasty, and service was friendly as well. Glad to have supported a small business while on vacay in the NO! More...

The food was delicious!! The service was great as well! I'm not sure they were understaffed, but it took a while for our food to come out, and it was brought out one by one. Even though we waited a good time for our food to arrive, the food was hot and tasted great! If you are in a rush, I would not recommend coming here, but if you have time to sit down and eat your food, this would be a nice spot to go to! More...

We had such a great experience! My co-workers and I tried this place for lunch and we loved it! They have so many different flavors of beignets and waffles, but I tried the pralines and cream flavored waffles with chicken tenders. It was delicious. The owner/chef was in and came and spoke with us to ensure we were having a pleasant experience. The service was great as well! I'll definitely be visiting here again. More...

Great lil hidden gem. Don't be discouraged from eating here based on the neighborhood or the outdated style of the restaurant, the delicious food will make up for it. Nice touch that the Chef visits his patrons at their table after they finish their meal. All of the staff was very friendly and full of smiles! More...

If your girlfriend's on her period and is somewhere between hormonal rage and random crying, take her to Mama's. This is the best place to go if you're having a bad day and need someone to make you smile. Their chocolate waffles are AMAZING, and from what I've heard, so is everything else on the menu. The staff is so friendly and fun, and they've got great dance moves. Highly recommend. More...

Seems like a little hole-in-the-wall but it is so worth the trip! The day that I was there they ran out of chicken wings and gave me the last two in the building! I was overly impressed by their hospitality and more than that by their food! I had the chicken strips and waffles and was amazed! The chicken was crispy and seasoned to perfection! The waffle was like and fluffy and delicious just like it ought to be. The chef brought out his dessert beignets for us to try and we had a praline pecan a chocolate and a strawberry and you couldn't ask for more perfection than that! The staff that was working there made you feel like you were right at home just like at your mama's house! More...

There mothers and grand mothers all loved to cook, and when Earl and Nicole first got married, Earl's mom literally fed the two everyday. “The food was simply amazing, so I feel like I didn’t miss anything going from my mother’s kitchen to my mother-in-law’s kitchen,” explains Nicole.
