Mama Lou's Comfort Kitchen

It's takeout only but hey I wouldn't want anyone to see me pig out on this delicious food. My boyfriend is the exception, lol.  We tried the smothered chicken, fried chicken, mash & gravy, mac & cheese, greens and peach cobbler. Two sides are included with main dish. The majority of the meal was good. The cobbler and cornbread were acceptable. I don't think anyone could top my mother-in-law's  cobbler.  The cornbread was dry and kind of hard. Nevertheless, it's not a deal breaker. I have a few soul food restaurants that I frequent and I will absolutely add Mama Lou's to the list.

Mama Lou's has some good soul food, like fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, etc. They have smothered pork chops on Wednesdays and Saturdays too, but unfortunately, I was too early and they weren't prepared yet. I definitely want to go back and try them, because the fried chicken was great! I got it to go and brought it back to work, and I luckily have Cholula at my desk, which made the chicken even better. This definitely beats the nearby Subway and Jimmy John's.

This place is basically takeout only- they have 4 or so bar stools you could eat at, I chose to take my meal with me... When I got home and opened the container I just knew I had died and was now in soul food heaven lol. seriously though, I have been on a HUNT for the perfect soul food joint and after 3 (or 8) restaurants I am happy to announce ''MY SEARCH ENDS HERE''! I ordered beef ribs, mac n cheese, & greens. I won't even attempt to describe the perfection that those ribs are- I can't think of the words right now. Mama Lou's (or rather her children or grandchildren- whoever they were) knows soul food! And the prices are reasonable.
