Great food and service, if it's cold outside don't choose the table by the door but other than that poor decision on our part, the food was great!

The food was great. The service was acceptable. The restaurant is in am older building which could use some renovations. This is not a place to sit for a long time. The food and the prices made this a good dining experience.

The food was ok, nothing special or different. Silverware was dirty in several wrapped settings, so look at it closely before using.

Food was good. The gravy and biscuits were OK nothing to write home about. The service was good. The coffee was good. Hashbrowns eggs bacon and sausage were all good.

My husband and I stopped here on our road trip from Charleston to Columbia. It had gotten a decent amount of positive reviews and we were definitely in the mood for breakfast. Upon entering Mama's Kountry Kooking we were greeted and told to sit wherever we like. Service was very friendly and prompt. The coffee was strong and served in a nice thick walled mug. There was not a ton of healthy options on the menu but they were very flexible and allowing me to substitute sliced tomatoes out for potatoes. Breakfast was well-cooked, tasty, and of a decent portion. The price couldn't be beat. A great place for breakfast that is obviously frequent head by the locals. We definitely be back if we're ever in the neighborhood again.

Not the best curb appeal but the food was delicious like highly exceeded my expectations! Somebody is back there cooking with love frfr! I was so hungry I didn’t even take pictures this time. I had two eggs over medium with cheese grits, liver pudding, toast, hash browns and French toast. Everyone was so friendly and they let you sit anywhere pretty much anywhere. You can tell this is a staple in town by all the people arriving as I was leaving. Apparently I beat the morning crowd which is just fine. Just in case anyone is wondering they accept cash and cards including Apple Pay, Google Pay etc. Atmosphere was cold and they had fans running when it’s 31 degrees outside not sure who was hot in there as it was showing 66 degrees in there but I get it I work in food service and I stay hot so I didn’t make any big deal about it. This place even has a drive thru window for orders. So glad I took the ride out to find Mama’s! I’ll be sure to stop back by on my way coming or going again. Really enjoyed myself.

Just a random stop a couple of miles off the highway. We were looking hard for a non-chain, non fast-food breakfast. Super nice waitress and very good home cooked breakfast (for the same price you pay at McD’s). Met all of our hopes and expectations while tired and hungry on a long road trip.
