The concept and vision of Mama's Southern Soul Food was born in the hearts, kitchens and the dining rooms of the home of the proprietors and your hosts, Chef Reaves and Katrina. For decades their families took pride on carefully preparing every dish by hand and with love from their homemade recipes.
It didn't matter who you were, or where you came from, when you sat at their table and ate breakfast, lunch or dinner, you were family. Very popular "secret recipes" have been passed down, collected and are prepared today as they have been for many years. Every dish that comes out of Mama's kitchen is authentic flavored southern style soul food that has a taste you can't find anywhere else.

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.

I just had food from here for the first time. I'm in love. I got the oxtails with rice and black eye peas and gizzards. Not the biggest fan of the peas just because I like smoked meat flavor in them but they were still good. Oxtails were delicious! And the gizzards. You cant find many places who do them right so they are soft but a nice fried coating on them. These are the best I've had in Tampa. Dont sleep on this place. GO!!!! Just do eat too much for lunch of you're working because I am ready for bed after that great meal.

Where do I start? The food was horrible we ordered oxtails, smothered chicken, turkey wings and fried chicken. The food and the grease chicken was fried in tasted old! The sides were equally as dissatisfying. The hostess was not welcoming at all... Will never return back to this place! 4 thumbs down

The young lady who took my order was very polite.. the place seemed cleaned as far as your eyes can see. But... the food is very small portions. I had the fish and shrimp dinner with maybe a scoop and a quarter of rice and gravy... it's rice for crying out loud. The yams are canned.. there's no cinnamon, sugar, glaze... nothing. The Mac and cheese might contain salt from the cheese, but that's all the seasoning you'll find there. The collards were ok, they needed to cook longer. The actual fish and shrimp says market price on menu. Of course, giving the owner the advantage to set whatever price

Dropped by this restaurant in 2020 but only picked up a slice of cake. Finally came back tonight and it hit the spot! Don't be fooled by it's exterior, this place is worth the visit especially if you are looking for some southern food. Meals are affordable and come with plenty of food. You can dine in and be sure to check out their specials. Give this black owned small business a chance!
