Editorial Review for Mama's – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
Portraits of mothers cover the walls at this appropriately named East Village spot. Mismatched tables and chairs make for a lovable afterthought of a dining room; one that's close enough to the kitchen that you can hear the cooks hacking away at chickens during prep time. Mama's clientele is extremely loyal--regulars are greeted by name.
The Food
Mama's serves up overflowing plates of Southern-style comfort food. Though any marginally competent home cook could whip up a meal of comparable quality with ease, Mama's food is undeniably tasty. And the low prices make it only a little more expensive than raiding your parents' refrigerator. Choose an entree (salmon, catfish, meatloaf, fried chicken) and a few sides (macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta salad, grits) to create your own cholesterol-laden meal.

I live in the neighborhood and we've been coming here for a couple of years now. The food and service is very homey and we love it. I have to say though, I another place opened up a few blocks away called "Birdies". Small spot that specializes in Southern Style Chicken. It's named after the grandmother of one of the owner's, cute. What I like about it is that it also caters to vegetarians, many of our friends are. We now have two great Southern style comfort food spots in the neighborhood, mamas & grandma Birdie's! Cool!
Pros: good food
Cons: busy
