What a find! Just passing through and looking for a good place to eat. Great menu selections. Had brunch and lunch options. Yardbird and waffles along with the Farmhouse Smash burger 🍔 Great food, great service and a very nice experience!

Ok this is a definite a try! A couple cons but mostly pros. The crisp on the chicken is to die for! They make everything themselves. Con was my tasty green besns were cold. I think because they were served in metal dish. They people were great and service exceptional. Menu has so many great dishes to try it is hard to chose! Go give them a try. I am sure you wont be disappointed.

First time here and it was terrific! We ordered mushrooms as an appetizer and they were great. Not the typical frozen breaded ones. These were hand breaded and a huge amount. I had the chicken fried steak with green beans and mashed potatoes and white gravy. It was amazingly delicious! Hubby had shrimp and grits. Huge portion and he said it was delicious. Lots of goodies in it. Fast and very friendly service. They do have a salad bar too. Didn’t get a dessert because we couldn’t even finish our meals. It was very reasonably priced as well. I forgot to get a picture of the mushrooms. Great home cooking.

The food wasn't bad. Portions were good size.

I got the smash melt burger and fries. My daughter got a kids burger with mac-n-cheese. My husband got the fried chicken and dressing with white gravy with green beans and mac-n-cheese.

The desserts are huge on size; especially the peanut butter pie ! It was like getting the whole pie 😱. We got the banana pudding, too, and it was delicious.

The major issue I have is that you CANNOT substitute any other side on the burgers, and I think the sandwiches as well. But overall food was not bad.

This was our first time here (May 16, 2024)under this owner, Miss Becky. We had a late lunch so it was not busy. My husband and I both had the country fried steak. I have never have one so thick, crispy, and tender you could cut it with a spoon. And HUGE! Two of them per plate served with two sides and bread for just $12.99.

Our server, Gina, was super nice and attentive. I told her that the garlic in the mashed potatoes tasted scorched and she offered several times to bring us something else, but I insisted it wasn’t that bad. I only thought Miss Becky might want to know.

All of their food is homemade from the stump up. Right down to the fried okra. It doesn’t come in frozen then dumped into a fryer. It’s hand breaded. Who does that these days? Miss Becky, that’s who! I can’t wait to go back on a weekend night for her prime rib!

The service was wonderful. The food was so delicious...we asked "Mama" to come out so we could slap her! I will definitely be back!

We've returned almost every time we've been in the area and we are never disappointed. It's so good.

I’m a big guy and my mama always told me to clean my plate. But there’s no way at Mama N Em’s! First, the fried mushrooms are the best I’ve ever had. They are huge and the breading is unlike anywhere. And they gave us like a million of them. I also ordered the Smash Melt burger which was a hoss of a burger. It was perfect in every way.

The service is always excellent. Everyone there is so nice and pleasant to talk to.

I’m grateful this place is in my town. Thanks y’all!

We heard about this place from our neighbors. It was worth the drive. Friendly attentive staff. Food is made to order and fresh. Great prices and healthy portions. I had the shepherds pie and wife had the catfish. Both done up right. Best shepherds pie I have had in the states. Unique menu. Can’t wait till bext time.
