    I love this place. I try to visit every time I come here but the wait time is horrendous. The sweet old lady at the cashier, God love her, is the slowest thing on the earth and unorganized. You will order something they will be out of and instead of telling you they are out, she will go ahead and take the order and you will end up waiting over an hour. Later when you inquire about the wait time, THEN she will tell you that they have to cook whatever it was you ordered. The food is incredible but the wait times is many times not worth it. The staff is very nice and the place has a hometown feel to it. Just wish they would retire the lady at the front or train her to be better than she is. It's not intentional, she's just not very good.

    Definitely worth the cost and wait. I seriously felt as though I was eating a plate of food out of my own mama’s oven. However, the cabbage greens were very bland..no seasoning at all but that’s just my opinion. Some people may prefer their food that way. But everything else was seasoned to perfection. And I will must certainly revisit.

    OMG! My family was in the area for a few months and we literally ate at this restaurant at least 2 to 3 times a week. The food was amazing and the plates were always running over. We tried several menu items and we were never disappointed. Delicious home cooking!

    Amazing as always! My son and I ordered two oxtail plates with rice, mac n cheese, and cabbage and my daughter ordered a plate with baked wings, mac and cheese and cabbage. Those oxtails were so tender and juicy and the baked chicken wings were flavorful. I love homemade baked macaroni and real cheese and that's just what I got today. My lawd that food was delicious and served at the correct temperature. The cornbread was hot and buttery and just added a kick to the meal. We all left with to-go boxes because we ate half the plates and we were too full to eat it all. I always enjoy Mama's Oven and learn a little bit more about patience and waiting on good things when I go there.

    Best soul food on the south side. MS. Yolanda always greets me with a warm smile and a God bless you. And they make you feel like family.
