Tried Mama's and Son for the first time, and had a good experience. We ordered the sampler platter that included 4 meats, and it was a good amount of porkchops, chicken, fish nuggets, and sides for our family of 4.
The service from the server and "Mama herself, was friendly, warm, and inviting.
The AMAZING: the fried fish, bbq chicken wings, fried whole chicken wings, and pork chop. Also the attentive service from Mama and her server was great.
The just ok: the mac n cheese, sweet potatoes.
The not so good: saying the restaurant needed a cleaning might be too harsh, but we felt like the restaurant could use a little "detail". The salt and pepper shakers, hot sauce bottle, etc, did need to be cleaned. It appears that the customer restroom is shared with other businesses in the building, that was the worst part. It does not appear to be owned by Mama's and Son restaurant, but customers use it. The building management should address the bathroom, so the businesses like Mama's that allow customers to use it don't get blamed for the nasty and smelly bathroom.
Will go back, and highly recommended for great soul food and portions.
4 stars for service and food.

I waited 15 minutes for a menu to be brought to my table and there was no one else in the restaurant . Took over 30 minutes to get my food. I was thoroughly disappointed. Ordered 2 pieces of chicken. One piece was freshly cooked the other was not. Mac and cheese was not good tasted like it came from a box. Cornbread was good but thats about it. Will not return.
