Mama's Country Cooking & Grill — Restaurant in Birmingham

This review has been edited after meeting Mama. Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Mama Sue, Jennifer & Shan. I can vouch why this place has the most amazing food ever!!! When you cook from your heart, it shows. I have never been so happy in front of ladies yelling "TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE".

This is the best group of smiles and laughter.. go in the evening, you'll understand the happiness and kindness that I'm talking about.

Easy part of the list. Things to complain about: Parking lot is sometimes packed because this food is so dadgum goooooooood

Now, let's talk serious. Have I ever told you that I love good food?? Well.... To put that into perspective, manna from the heavens.... I'll have something to complain about.

HOWEVER this place. I've never complained at all... That includes the time I tripped while running to my car before I drove over there. (Not on Mama's property. I'm clumsy) Everytime I go [and I warn each and every Mama's Country virgins] on the first time you go, be prepared. There's something magical in the air, in the food, in the smile of everyone working here.

Let me explain, have you ever had your socks knocked off? It won't compare to this. Every won the multi-million dollar power ball? Still nowhere near this food.

Have you ever had an out of body experience returned to your body and lead an entire world to the Lord & Savior?? Now my friends, we are getting close.

Breakfast items: bacon egg & cheese sandwich. 💯 Anything else on the menu. 💯 (With all normal disclaimers, I haven't tried the catfish..... And this is during the mass exodus of information on said catfish. Today, I bet 48,519,677 folks told me about how amazing the catfish is (consistently is), that's on this one visit.

FOLKS LOVE THE CATFISH (just a hint)

I went on the sad advice of the millions about the "redheaded step child" spaghetti.

OMG. Amazing.. best ever!! I am going to end by saying "Mama, keep up this beautiful work." All of your items: Amazing All of your folks: Amazing

But please, all 2 more parking spaces for your 7 quadrillion customers. They're there for a reason.

*They are quite...

I started coming here at the beginning of December and it was my go to place every morning after work. What changed that for me is because I didn't care for the way the big guy behind the counter was talking to his coworkers everytime I was waiting for my food. I was hungry yesterday after work and didn't feel like driving far again so I stopped in to try to give it another chance. Big mistake the man was just as rude to his workers, I ordered a breakfast plate he did not ask what type of meat I wanted and made cheese eggs when I'm lactose intolerant, I asked if he could put extra sausage on the plate and was charged 3 dollars for just two (which is crazy because meat is supposed to come with the plate) and then he caught a attitude because i asked for a biscuit when the meal says it comes with either toast or biscuit "you shoulda said something." Listen serving food is one thing but customer service is everything. I left paying $15 and was not satisfied with what I got at all. Please treat your workers better. Everytime I came in there the guy was talking down to them but yet they were still smiling and saying hello while he did the opposite unless he knew someone coming in. Im thinking of calling whoever is the owner and...

I've only eaten breakfast from here, but I've enjoyed it so much I hardly ever take pictures...I'm too busy eating! There's usually a line but the line moves pretty fast. You can order omelettes, breakfast sandwiches made to order or a simple breakfast plate. My favorite order is the breakfast grit cup (comes with meat, eggs, and cheese) since it's easy to eat in the car, which is where you eat since seating inside is very limited. Oh, and this place is in a service/gas station. While it doesn't take anything away from the taste of the food, keep this mind if you're wanting a fine dining experience...this ain't it. Don't forget to pay at the register in the front...
