First time there. I really enjoyed the selection they had for the price. Everything tasted amazing because it was freshly made. Great ranch dressing for the salads. It's the soups were made fresh. And the banana pudding in a cup was really a nice treat.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Very friendly staff from the moment you walk in the place is very clean and the salad bar was excellent. It’s all you can eat. Soup and salad with a great selection and excellent price. I highly recommend this place. It’s like a five minute walk from the Hyatt Regency. Great restaurant.

First time there, and I wanted to take the whole place home. The Mama’s chicken soup was beyond fabulous—rich in quality, full of flavor, and it felt phenomenal going down my throat. I honestly wished I could’ve eaten the entire pot. The salad was crisp and fresh, the fruit was perfectly sweet, and that strawberry shortcake? So good you’d want the whole cake to yourself. It truly gave that “home with mama” kind of feeling—comforting, warm, and made with love. Definitely revisiting because I need to try the chili. And listen—if that chili tastes anything like that phenomenal chicken soup…I’m crying tears of pure joy. No shame. Oh—and I can’t forget the cookies. OMG, Mama PLEASE! That sugar and macadamia cookie? I could’ve made a whole milkshake out of it. It was that good. Y’all need to go to Lettuce Eat 1 at 333 E Bay Street and get you some real mama food. It’s not fancy-looking, but that quality… that taste… whew. That’s the taste of love right there. Oh mama mia—chef’s kiss. 🤌🏽💋 the experience was topnotch. The staff was welcoming and gave us that welcome service. Make sure yall tip them okay!
