Wow this was the best chicken fried steak I have ever had! The gravey, mashed potatoes and green beans were crazy good! There was so much food for a really good price.

My husband & I found this place while searching online for a black owned restaurant near our location. I’m so glad Mama’s Oven came up because it was just the right kind of soul food that we were in need of. We arrived at 5pm on a Thursday & it wasn’t crowded at all. The staff was very patient as we tried to decide what to eat. These ladies were friendly and WONDERFUL! They even shared stories of their 29 year existence in the area. We ordered an oxtail plate & a pork chop plate. Both came with 3-sides and everything was DELICIOUS!! The prices are fabulous & the food portions are great. If you are looking for comfort food with lots of flavor then you owe it to yourself to check out Mama’s Oven. We’re definitely going back on our next trip to Houston.

Stopped in at 2p on a Thursday. Saw all the reviews saying they take a long time and thought later was better. Waited 35 minutes.

I’m not a picky eater at all. I had to throw my lunch in the trash ☹️ mac n cheese tasted bad. Ox tails were not good. I tasted salt n no other season. I got a feel of old food. Cornbread was flavorless. Waste of $20.00

This little place was recommended to us for oxtail by a young lady in the V.A. We were greeted and our order taken right away. The food took 15 or 20 minutes to come out and it was outstanding. My smothered pork chops were fork tender, the gravy had a little kick, the rice was cooked well, and the yams were outstanding. His oxtail was tender and lots of it. The dirty rice was nice and the green beans weren’t smushy. He was jealous of my yams though. The cornbread was just the tiniest bit sweet and soaked up that gravy just fine. The lemonade was good and tart while the sweet tea had lemon! The servings of everything were generous. The store was clean and well lit. The chairs had padding which was nice. The whole place has a “mama’s table” feel to it. I’m almost positive my granny had this table set. I watched them gift a young man a large order of rice as they didn’t accept apple pay. They didn’t fuss or scold him just sent him on his way with a smile and a blessing. Overall worth every single penny. Bring your momma and granny for the food their mommas and granny’s cooked.

The food was absolutely delicious!!! I had enough for three meals! I ordered 1 fried and 1 smothered pork chop, rice and gravy, cabbage, yams, and a side of pinto beans. People waiting for orders were friendly and in good spirits. Will be back!!

food always phenomenal but opening 30 minutes late is becoming the norm! We must learn the importance of customer service and punctuality! Having great food only goes so far….

I’ve eaten there before and it was good but this day I wasn’t pleased with anything I ordered except the cabbage was ok. Which was sad because I had been craving it for a while. It was very disappointing. But maybe better luck next time. I’m not ruling them out.

I ordered chicken fried steak and I got pre-cooked Frozen chicken fried steaks that were burnt. That was so disgusting I couldn’t eat it I had to ask for something else. I ordered chicken wings and that was still nasty. I will never ever eat there again.
