However, I just want to update some info here: The 2 meat, 3 side combo price went up $1 to $10.95. I think the chicken and waffles was like $12, but I can't remember for sure, my mind was so zoned out on the food. Oh and they accept MC, VISA and Discover...unlike most other shady places that only accept cash. My only real complaint about the place is how much trash they produce. All food is served in styrofoam containers and plastic utensils. There's not a dish or piece of china or silverware to be found. Sure it's easier to clean up, but unfortunate how much waste every meal produces even for people dining in. Ok, off my soap box. I definitely think the chicken and waffles were money since it's served freshly cooked. The other meats, if not served fresh from the deep fryer quickly becomes dry and soggy. Either way, it's artery clogging goodness! Just dined here last night and must say I was very happy. However, I just want to update some info here:

What a experience and that was before I took my first bite~never have we been welcomed like this, I felt like we were the most special customers they had ever had~but no, everyone was treated the same way!!! Now, on to the food-blessed by the food gods, that's for sure! The chicken wings and waffle~the most amazing thing I have ever had,no joke!! I all but licked the syrofoam box-must display a certain amount of decorum!! There was nothing left but bones on those wings though!! Husband had the buffet! GOOD GRIEF!Catfish,Chicken and Dressing,Greens,Mac and Cheese,Okra and Tomatoes,Corn Bread,and Chocolate Cake! He was in a food coma with a huge smile on his face. Now, I suppose you might find food as good,not better elsewhere, but NO WAY will you find somewhere that you will want to come back to just to feel good because you came! These people are the real deal!!!Mama E's puts HEART AND SOUL into every dish!!! If we did’nt live here,I’d move just to eat at MAMA E”S!!

Call me crazy but it ain't nothing like some soul food. As soon as my husband has time off work, we are going to make that 3 hour drive down there to get some of those famous Chicken and Waffles...OMG!

Those ladies in there were so sweet, but the real deal was, after my mother started eating, she suddenly got misty-eyed and before we left, said, "I need to go talk to this lady over here". She told her that this cooking tasted like her mother-in-law's cooking, who had been dead for 20 years, which gave me a total "Aha!" moment remembering my other grandmother and Sunday dinners at her house. It was uncanny, really. Well anyway, there were hugs all around (incl. the cook!), the perfect cap to an awesome and evocative lunch. This is old, traditional Southern food that both black AND white people (that was us!) can celebrate today. Mama E's participates in tradition and roots like very few restaurants I have ever patronized. This is where it's at, and one of the few places truly worth all the hype.
