I order from here for the first time. I got it for delivery. Now how do you forget something from an order when it's only three things that's are simple on your menu and still got charged for the missing item. The gizzards we're absolutely disgusting. Only thing that was good was the yams. For a first timer I'm not pleased.
The banana pudding is good, but besides that what I had wasn't really tasty. I don't really get that southern or "authentic" soul food taste from the food. It taste as if it comes from boxes or was just frozen and heated up. The yams didn't have flavor, the mac and cheese wasn't that tasty. The cabbage was decent, that was the only thing that had flavor and the rice and gravy was just basic. The portions are a nice size and the price is good but it's just lacking that real soul food taste that I was looking for.
My first time going to Mama’s Soul Food. I got the chicken livers and a side of collard greens. Greens were good Livers were horrible! No Flavor and Burnt. Very disappointed was craving them.
Food is good. The collard greens have the pepper spice in it. I know some southerners prefer a smoky meat taste, this place isn't that place. However the greens were good.The Mac and Cheese was excellent! The smothered pork chops were alright. The chops option came with 2 pieces and could use more flavor but the the gravy and rice were very good.The candied yams were good, just don't be deceived because they weren't brown with the sweet sugar, but the flavor was definitely there.There is inside dining and all food is provided in to go boxes.
I ask for liver and onions well done my liver was still pink couldn’t even eat it and the onions wasn’t even cook then the sides was mess up didn’t even notice they gave me bake beans instead of cabbage and it’s says cabbage clear as day on the receipt I will never returning this my 2nd time this happen I use to love this place years ago they went down in the last year ?
I thought my grandmother had came back from heaven and took a job in the kitchen!!! This place was TRULY a southern treat! ALL the food I ordered was JUST like home cooked South Carolina good!!! Its my spot whenever I visit the Tampa area again!!
I was riding along 60 looking for something good to eat , so I by passed Mama soul food and had to do a U turn. And you know what ?! I'm glad I did . I was amazed at the variety of the Menu . So much good stuff it was hard to choose . So I picked the Turkey Wing dinner with Lima beans and Candied yams . Everything, down to the sweet tea was absolutely delicious. And with me ordering a to go , I had plenty for the next day . The Price was right and the food was amazing. I definitely will be making the ride from Zephyrhills very soon .
I never make reviews but could not allow this one to pass. We ordered food and did not get all that we ordered and paid for! We have small children, two received their food and two did not, I contacted the store and was told by someone very rude that she made the order herself but she will give it to me if I bring the food I have back. I live 30 minutes from this location, once I said that their response was to come on another day. Ummm what about dinner tonight! After spending over $100 I was still left trying to figure out dinner for those who didn’t get their full meal. The chicken was hard and cold, not edible! The rice and turkey tasted burned the yams were horrible. The plate that did have ox tails (I ordered two plates) only had three and it was mostly bones no meat! The second plate had no o tails at all just rice and gravy and yams, we ordered mashed potatoes! This was a horrible experience and I would never recommend them to anyone! The food was disgusting, their attitudes were disgusting, and their responses to all those who have given honest negative reviews are even more disgusting than the food and service! Read the negative reviews first, everyone isn’t lying!
The food had no seasoning what so ever. I ordered white rice without the gravy, bake beans, fried chicken, and macaroni and cheese. Let's just say the rice had no salt in it. The bake beans taste like they poured it, from the can to the plate. And the macaroni and cheese, taste like they used Ms Dash.... for the prices i was expecting to come and eat food somewhat like my grandmother would make. I was very much disappointed.. .
Having spent time as a youth in the deep south on the poor side of the tracks, I know soul food. Mama's has it in spades. Small and unassuming Mama's does a booming takeout business. Call ahead and get your meal to go. Fantastic fried chicken, roasted turkey, collard greens, lima beans, corn on the cob, gizzards and rice with gravy. You order and pay before you sit if dining in. All the food is served in a take-out containers. I just keep going back when nostalgic and want a happy tummy.
