I now understand why they call it soul food! the food at Mama Sheila's is absolutely amazing! I'm a person that does not like brussel sprouts, however, I did order them from there and they melted in my mouth and were absolutely amazing. There is not a single thing there that doesn't make your mouth water and heart happy, highly recommended restaurant definitely will be returning.

Was in town for a bit and decided to try their food. I must admit everything I added on my plate was delicious. I had the mac&cheese, yams, greens, bbq chicken, jerk chicken and a slice of meat loaf. (Enough for 2) and my only complaint was my Mac wasn’t in it’s on compartment so it got all the sauces. But the food itself was really good. And at $10 per pound I wasn’t disappointed. Not to mention it was maybe 20 minutes before closing and the guy working was super helpful and polite. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in Minnesota. Overall Great place!

This Thanksgiving, my heart found exactly what it needed: time with my soul cousin, deep conversation about life, and the gentle release of everything no longer serving us. We spent the day reflecting, laughing, and just being present with each other. And the perfect place to hold all that gratitude was Mama Sheila’s. From the moment we walked in, the buffet felt like a true Thanksgiving embrace. Mama Sheila’s served up love disguised as food. Cranberry sauce, potato salad, collard greens with smoked turkey, tender cabbage, dressing with no meat, juicy turkey, candied yams, red beans and rice, jerk chicken, jerk BBQ chicken, cornbread, catfish, BBQ meatballs… and honestly, even more dishes I can’t fully recall because there was just so much goodness. Every plate was a memory, every bite a

I am going to try to sum this up without wasting your time. GO EAT HERE. 🏆 I sincerely hope that summed it up. Here's why; We were greeted by a very friendly man. Once we explained that we were visiting from Ohio, he quickly explained the pricing and order of things. He went over the menu and answered any questions we had. Bet 🫶🏾 Pricing was $10.95 per pound. It's set up buffet style but not an all you can eat for a set price buffet type thing. Y'all, everything looked good. I wanted a Lil bit of everything. 🐷 So here's the options that I can remember: fried chicken, jerk chicken, smothered chicken, BBQ chicken, meatloaf, and catfish. My husband was shocked there were no ribs and they told him no swine on the line 🤣 Side items consist of mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, cabbage, green bean

Some of the best food I've had in a long time for a restaurant! Feels like you're eating a home cooked meal! I raved about it to the owner! Great atmosphere too! Definitely would recommend anyone try this place you wont be disappointed! Make sure to get the fried chicken! 🤯🤯🤯 For dessert you gotta get the pecan pie, sooo good!
