Mama D's — Restaurant in Lemont Township

I think they're trying to poison me. Honestly, I've given moma d a try a couple of times and it always falls very short. This time it was literally inedible. Lasagna, spaghetti with marinara, and a calzone. They probably need to stop trying to do pasta dishes. The marinara was vile. I was first concerned when I got home and the take out bag had a deep pool of marinara juice at the bottom. Not a little bit, a literal pool of juice. Almost like mostly water with a few tablespoons of sauce mixed in. When I opened the package and sorted the items out, the tragic state of my "food" was laid bare in front of me. I don't know how they did it. The lasagna was both dry with a layer of crusted over edges while being rested in a sea of watered down rancid marinara. This lasagna must have been sitting out separated from the mother lasagna for so long that it developed a dried perimeter crust, which prevented most of the sauce from penetrating this dried exterior shell. Inside was an over salted highly preserved tasting melange of cheese and noodles which I can only assume is the first ever microwaved meal. I could not eat it and cannot imagine any circumstances in which I could force myself to eat it. I genuinely think they bought a massive can of pre made marinara with a shelf life running into the next epoch, opened the can and allowed this preserved mess to expire, then added water from the stagnant dish washing sink to thin it out into this soupy tomato juice. It's acrid offensive pungent odor and taste was similar to sucking on a penny while drinking a can of V8 which had been left on a warm radiator for 6 months after opening. The spaghetti was basically the same thing, but with no cheese layers. I got about 2 bites into the lasagna and pitched it. I implored my wife not to eat any more of the spaghetti, despite how much she hates wasting food. The calzone was the best part of the hot foods, despite being basically dough with cheese. It was edible and okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The brownie was good! Nothing wrong with it at all. I've ordered their egg and pepper sandwich before and it was fine. I don't eat meat but I must imagine the various beef, hotdog, and burgers are at least okay. Nothing prepared me for the absolute crime against humanity that this lasagna and spaghetti were. Truly unprecedented, and one of the lowest points in my life.

Guys, dial back the menu and just stick to whatever you do really well. I really want to have a decent Italian quick serve place near me. Jimbo's is giving me expired pasta, Rosatis is okay but a bit salty for us, but momma d really takes me to the back of the table. Like I said, I've tried giving them a chance a couple of times now but after this I don't think I...

Outstand update! I already left the below but tonight above and beyond! I ordered a 2 hot dog special to share , one dog for each person and a share of the fries. Because of the storm I ordered via uber eats. I asked for each dog to be different topping on the notes of the hotdogs order. The order came perfection! No excuse that they couldnt because its a special, No excuse they didnt see the notes,, NO EXCUSES at all! MAMA D made the food PERFECT! Exactly as we asked. I can't tell you how outstanding this is. Its silly but so many competitors wouldn't have made them different. Thr competitors say, sorry it'd one special they are made the same.

Second amazing item. I ordered a cheeseburger, grilled onions, ketchup and lettuce. I swear this burger tasted better than Five Guys! Better size, better soft bun and made to perfection at a cheaper price! So a burger better tasting than Five Guys and made to order the same, I am officially removing Five Guys from my fast food choices. I mean why pay $15 for a burger with no fries when I can get a burger and fries for the same $15 or less and it tastes the same or better!!! .

Original post...Great food and good prices for the volume. I haven't had a bad item off the menu. Very flavorful beef sandwiches all the way down to a simple pizza puff. Great Italian food, the restaurant inside is clean and basic style and the food is great! There are casino slots to the right behind a small divider and comfortable chairs and tables for every size party with 1990s movie posters framed on the walls. Call ahead to check hours. Google hours are not accurate. It's worth a...

Don’t waste your money. I always pass this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Glad I did not bring my family here. It doesn’t take a lot to impress me—but hot damn. This place was BAD. I won’t even get into the staff who looked like they either didn’t want to be there or should not have been there based on their outfit choices. Let’s get to the food. I ordered a tamale and a hot dog. They really do need to have the word “microwaved” next to the word “tamale” on the menu. The hot dog bun was ice cold, not frozen, but ice cold. Maybe that is how this place does it but MOST places do not. To top it off, the restaurant is dirty. I am no crazy germ person but I would NEVER bring my kids here. You can see the filth and with it only being noon when I ate…clearly this place hasn’t been cleaned for awhile. Thumbs down. I gave this place a try despite the 4.4 rating and after my experience, I’m convinced that the people who have given this place 5 stars either know the owners and are doing them a solid or are content with...
