Mama D's Sweet Shop & More — Restaurant in Moultrie

We were really excited to see this restaurant take over the old Bentley place that has been vacant for a while. We went yesterday for the lunch buffet and were sadly disappointed. It appears that the place was purchased and the new owner, “Mama D”, just moved in with little to no renovation. Be careful in the parking lot as the pot holes could eat your vehicle. The building needs a good pressure washing and a fresh coat of paint. The large bay window to the left of the building looks like it hasn’t been washed inside or out since the Bentley’s owned it more than a decade ago, and the entrance door had chipped paint and seemed to be barely hanging on it’s hinges. Once inside, you are greeted with faded paint on walls that have nothing on them but the required “choking “ poster that shows how to do the Heimleich maneuver. Holes are still there from where previous pictures were hung as well as the faint outline of a frame. There are no decorative accessories anywhere. The much exalted buffet is nothing more than a 6 foot steam table with questionable looking food. Hamburger steak was on the menu that day, but the steak was the size of a meatball. We also ordered off the grill menu. The sweet tea tasted like they had poured one glass of tea into a 50 gallon container, it was that watered down. The wait staff, if you could call them that were pleasant and friendly, but had nothing to do as the place was empty, so they just sat in the corner. Also never saw any one in a hair net or gloves as advertised. One annoying employee kept asking if we wanted more food from the buffet. Uh, can we finish what’s in front of us first? Guess she wanted to break down the buffet or it was quitting time? Another employee kept going in and out of the kitchen area while constantly rubbing/playing with the multiple rings piercing her nose. VERY off putting. All in all, I hope this place succeeds and I know they just opened, but they really need to get their act together. The food was hot and seemed fresh, but had absolutely no flavor. Truly tasteless. For a business that started as a bakery/sweet shop, the dessert cases were empty. Sure this happens, but it’s bad planning and poor management to run out by lunch. We may try this place again in 6 months or so, but right now it’s nothing more than an old, outdated, dusty, run down building with bland and...

Coming from Baltimore, Maryland to Moultrie, Georgia after a long drive to Colquitt Regional Center where my ex- husband and daughters Dad was placed on life support after a massive heart attack; we wanted to do something personal for the wonderful Doctors and Nurses that took such wonderful care of him while he was in ICU for almost 3 weeks! So, that is when we happened to come across Mama D’s Sweet Shop in Moultrie and decided what better way then to send them some various pastries to go with their coffee whenever they could “catch a break” during their 10 hour shifts! Mama D was amazing and went above and beyond in helping us with our order as all of this was done over the phone while on our way to Georgia! she even personally delivered them to the hospital herself! She told us to not even worry about paying her until we arrived in Moultrie! Trust me when I say that we would have never received that hospitality from any bakery back here in Baltimore!! When we met her to pay her, we were greeted by a beautiful woman who actually sat with us for quite some time and gave us comforting words as she shared her own personal trials in her life that she and her family had gone through. She made us feel as if we had known her forever and not just met at that moment. She will never know how much comfort that she brought especially to my daughter who was having a very difficult time trying to cope with this very frightening time as she was told that she might lose her Dad. Her glazed donuts, cookies and pastries were nothing short of Delicious, as we and the Staff at ICU-03 would attest to! So if you’re ever in Moultrie, Georgia and you get a taste for some really good sweets to go with your morning coffee—— Go visit Mama D’s Sweet Shop. You won’t be disappointed and you might even get the chance to pull up a chair and chat with an Angel?——— We Surely...

STEER CLEAR. Did a cake tasting here for my wedding and it went amazing. Was tying up the details via text when I was ghosted after asking the total price and if I needed to put down a deposit. I’m not in state, so I reached out 2 additional times via text, once via messenger, and 2 calls before I finally got to speak to this person. She said she had been busy. I’m planning a whole wedding and had no idea if this cake was scheduled or not because Dallas couldn’t find 2 seconds to respond to my inquiries. When I finally got a hold of her, she said for me not to worry, it was booked, even tho I didn’t know the total price of the cakes due to her non response. After getting in touch finally, I went ahead and cancelled the cakes because it is extremely unprofessional to leave me hanging and not knowing if I had a wedding cake booked until less than a month before my wedding. This place came highly recommended to me, but they probably weren’t booking a custom cake. I do not recommend anything from here besides walking in and buying something from the display. Even just trying to plan a wedding cake with this shop was absolute hell and more stress than it should’ve been. Couldn’t imagine how delivery coordination...
