“ The food actually has flavor and seasoning and is not bland or with a ton of pepper like many reataurants. The servers are really friendly and always asking if you need anything. I like the rustic vibe it has ”
“ When my parents first moved to Baldwin County in 2001, we regularly visited Mama Lou's. There was a change of ownership at some point and the food and service quality took a dip. My parents hadn't been here in many years, but on a recent visit, I read new reviews posted about the restaurant and they were praising the food and service...so, I took my mother for the first time in years and it turned into four visits during my extended stay. First off, this is a kitchy, Cracker-Barrel looking place that's simple and easy and homey. But, it's original and locally owned. Everything is made from scratch and fresh and delicious. You enter through the front and proceed straight to the back to the buffet. It's double-sided with trays, plates, and cutlery. A server comes to get your drink order immediately and has it delivered to your table just as quickly. First at the buffet is the salad. There's a great choice of greens, toppings, fresh vegetables, cheese, egg, dressings, bacon, croutons, etc. They also have very delicious coleslaw. Next up in line are the desserts. They typically have three or four choices of pudding, mousse, cake, or cobbler. I will honestly say they're not the best desserts I've ever had, it the entree choices make up for it. Following are the vegetable choices. You get standard choices you'd get at any meat-and-three. Everything is fresh and hot and well-seasoned. On my few visits, I enjoyed the mac and cheese, summer squash, green beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, collards, turnips and, of course, the fried chicken. Simply heavenly. I live in Savannah and get to eat the perfect Lady and Son's fried chicken and I will say Mama Lou's comes quite close to it. Go hungry and eat your meal of the day. You'll leave full and happy with a memorable experience. Remember to tip the staff for taking care of your messy plates and for refilling your drinks. They work hard and deserve it. Thanks to the new ownership (not sure when things changed over the years) and keep up the good work! ”
“ Always that I come to Alabama, Mama Lou is my comfort place to enjoy home made food fresh and with a great environment. Also the staff serves you with a kind attitude and a nice smile I love this place ”
“ Y'all, it was so good last Friday I had to go back today. I mean I frequent great places a lot. I used to eat at Mama Lou's at least once a week. It had been over a year since I had been there before last Friday. Honestly, I thought maybe last Friday was a fluke. So my son and I go back today - they crushed it again. The fried chicken was killer as always. Then there were fried pork chops, spaghetti and liver snd onions.... Okay, so you will never see my review anyone's offal!! Just don't eat the stuff - except for grilled chicken hearts, but I digress. You get FOUR superior entrees Monday - Friday and FIVE on Sunday. The sides y'all. They were so good. I confirmed, nothing out of a can and you can tell the difference. Service was friendly and paced just right. The restaurant had been spruced up and had a great homey atmosphere. My son, and I loved it.... Again!! ”
