Mamies Kitchen

Decided to go to Mamie’s Kitchen for breakfast and was very disappointed. The line to order was long and the service was rushed. The food was ok--the sausage was a little spicy and the biscuits were barely warm. And I didn't get the hashbrowns with cheese that I ordered. But the wait was too much to even worry about it...

There was no indoor seating at the time as they were a bit short staffed so it was drive-thru only. But the food is amazing. I asked to be guided to a restaurant that fits the local community and this is the first place that they pointed to. Proper soul food. Stewed tomatoes, homemade mash and gravy, green beans, homemade biscuit, and fried chicken breast. The sweet tea is on point.

Mamie’s in Covington, takeout edition: a masterclass in how to ruin a car ride home. We didn’t dine in, we grabbed food to go; so there’s no “it cooled on the table” excuse. The “biscuits” were desiccated artifacts from the Museum of Dry Things. Picture a nine-day desert trek, then an overcooked Popeyes biscuit abandoned on a dashboard. Drier than both. The eggs were ice-cold, the cheese barely thinking about melting, and the whole bag felt like it took a detour through Antarctica. Not “to-go,” “to-chill.” Grits? Passable, if you enjoy your breakfast salted like a February sidewalk. The “salmon” croquettes were H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E tasting. We didn’t get salmon; what we got was a mystery white fish that has never met a salmon in its life. My stomach has been churning like a 1920s butter churn

Mamie’s Kitchen is absolutely wonderful. The home-cooked feel of every dish shines through, and the staff are so friendly. it feels like eating in someone’s welcoming kitchen. The flavors are strong, the presentation is thoughtful, and I always leave feeling satisfied and excited to come back.

Waited in line 20 minutes for disappointment. The nastiest breakfast ever! I order a chicken biscuit and hash-browns. The chicken patty smelled horrible like it was cooked in old oil, the “biscuit” was burnt and more of a bun texture, and the hash-browns had no seasoning and was dry. Ended up throwing the biscuit away; I was able to salvage the hash-browns with some salt, pepper and cheese at home. So disgusted! Never again.
