If you want a quiet place, this isn't it. This restaurant is booming as soon as you walk in. There's a line to pay for your buffet. Great prices, by the way. There's a lady that makes sure you use hand sanitizer before you grab a plate. I really loved that. It's southern cooking at it's finest in the buffet. They have servers constantly walking behind and cleaning, which again I love, especially for a buffet. Will definitely go back.

I recently scheduled a field trip to Mama Hamil's for a group of students aged 6–10. The price listed on the website was $11.55 plus tax for children. Just days before our visit, I called to confirm our reservation. During that call, I was informed that our students would be charged the adult price. Surprised, I asked to speak with the manager and was directed to Bailey. When I asked if she was the manager, she stated that she was the secretary but could handle my concerns. I explained that the website clearly lists children’s prices at 11.55. I asked why my students were being charged the adult rate. Bailey informed me that when groups come in—regardless of age—they are charged the adult price. I expressed that this policy is not stated on the website and that parent letters had already

Came through looking for something that was not a chain restaurant. This place was great. almost everything was good. The fish was excellent. The BBQ was good as well and I don't say that about restaurants. The Mac and could use more. The desserts tasted homemade. This is a place to remember when going through Mississippi.
