The food was amazing, made with love and tasting straight out of momma's kitchen! Service was so friendly and like family! The ambiance is so beautiful and chill with lots of natural sunlight and jazz music.

Easily one of my fav restaurants in town! Time you hit the door you're gonna be greeted, their hospitality is top notch. The building is covered in cool green and purple paintings but my fav is a pic of the family's matriarch (mama) on the wall :) I'm a fan of the whole menu but the fried fish and grits along with the chicken and waffles (and house made syrup) are my favs. It can get pretty packed around lunchtime so come early or order to go. They do weekend brunch on certain Saturdays and you can definitely catch me in line getting my waffles to go, great way to start your day!

The chicken is gluten free! Service to table! No need to pick up from a window. No spoons unfortunately but the grits are thick enough to pick up with the fork. It's hot in there in the summer, so don't be too bundled up! It must be because everything is fresh off the kitchen heat. Just go!

We visited on our trip from montana. My wife is gluten free due to allergy so this amazing place was a great option. We arrived to a warm welcome and my wife was able to get gluten free chicken and waffles with homemade syrup. I ordered the hot wings and they were crisp hot and had a nice subtle burn. The sweet tea was very sweet as expected in the south, so consider adding a splash of water if you so desire. This place was the highlight of our dining experiences on this trip to Alabama, we will be returning if ever we have the chance.

Yo mamma going to be happy now!! Great little place serious about putting out incredible food!! Just sit g. Ugh back and enjoy and imagine what you have the pleasure of tasting! Staff is so friendly and even made sure I got a table as soon as possible. Sit inside or out too. Smokey, buttery, cheesy, all the things you want in grits. Shrimp were so cooked perfectly and andouille sausage was so good! I had to eat it all as I was on foot and it would probably boil in my hands on the way back to the hotel as it's at least 100 degrees out! I will proudly slap a Yo Mamma's sticker on Harvey when I'm back home.

Food- wow! Felt like my own family's home cooking. Flavorful, fresh and to the point. Service- daughter took our orders and the mama brought our order to our table. She gave us great recommendations as first timers passing through the city. Ambiance- you walk up to the counter and order and then find your seat if you plan to sit there and eat (which I highly suggest). Food came out very quickly. Their menu is not extensive but they've got some heavy hitters on there.

Came here for brunch. They have Sat. brunch on the 2nd and last Saturday of each month. I ordered the chicken and waffle with fruit and it was sooooo good! They make your chicken how you like and I got mine extra crispy. The dining area is small but spacious. Finding tables on busier days is difficult. Wonderful option for breakfast or lunch!

This is my first time here. My friends recommended this restaurant for lunch. The menu looked so good I had a hard time choosing so the owner actually suggested combining 2 items together, so I chose a piece of tilapia from the fish plate and bowl of the shrimp and grits. It was amazing. Great flavor. The store is small but never felt cramped. Seating was placed just right and with pops of orange and green on the walls. This is a very nice and stylish place with a great menu.

I was off work today and decided to stop by for brunch. I've been here a few times before and have always been pleased with the food and customer service. The lady working the register is always fully of energy and makes you feel welcome like you're at home. The restaurant does have inside/outside seating available for dine in customers. Due to the popularity of the restaurant it is always packed and full, which is a great thing. I ordered the shrimp and grits, a piece of catfish and the fruit punch/lemonade juice. All of their food is cooked to order and is delicious. Every time I come I am always satisfied with my food and the portion size is good as well. I highly recommend this restaurant and will continue dining here whenever I can.

There is only street parking near this venue. I missed the 10% yelp check-in discount because I checked in after paying for my order. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I ordered the chicken and waffles. For chicken, I got the hot wings. I got fresh fruit for the waffles. The chicken wings are big. The sauce is pretty good. I wish they covered all the wings in sauce. They made up for it by giving me generous portions of ranch and blue cheese. The fresh fruit were strawberries and blueberries with butter and whipped cream. The food is great and the service is great. I would love to come again.
