The food was okay.... the batter the fried okra, fried green tomatoes, and fried chicken is in is different.. Sweet tea wasnt even good.. I was expecting some outstanding country food... especially when the fried chicken was almost $13.00......Will not go back for dinner again. I was so anxious to try this place out and kinda wish I had gone... more

Mama's Boy is the kind of place you find only in good college towns. The food is very good, and an incredible value for the price.

such a cute, quirky place- great to take visitors bc it has the "southern diner" vibe going on.... great diner type food, i'd recommend it for breakfast or lunch but not a nice dinner.... just a fun, casual meal more

This little gem of a place is like an old timey diner from the fifties and the food is a gem too. Breakfast is consistently fabulous, but lunch offers a variety of good offerings too. If nothing suits your fancy, try the pimento cheese topped hamburger. Yum! more
