“Arrived at 10:05 for lunch because breakfast ended at 10:00. One server took our drink order and said our server would be taking our order shortly. 10 minutes later she took our order. Meanwhile over the next 30 minutes several customers arrived and were served drinks and meals. Our server returned a couple of times with excuses why our food wasn't ready. After waiting patiently for 1 hour we got up and left. No one approached us to ask why we were leaving. This was our first visit to Big Mamas and will not be returning.“

“This place was absolutely breathtaking, with great food, good vibes, and excellent customer service.
From the moment the door opened, my wife and I felt welcome. I had the oxtails, which were amazing. I had collard greens; they were good, not too much seasoning. I had the rice and gravy, which was tasty, and last but not least, somebody GMA made DAMN potato salad; that was my absolute favorite.

On to the dessert: that damn banana cream cake will make you slap your mama 10/10.

If you're in the area, please check them out.“

“We food breakfast while staying at the hotel. Food was good not great but good, but expected more from service. Coffee arrived way before food and one was cold. The answer was we just press a button and the machine makes it so what do you want to do? You want in re made or something else to drink? I know I don't want cold coffee unless I order a cold brew. Next we had our coffees. There was sugar yet nothing to stir. When someone finally noticed us, asked for something to stir our coffees. They brought 1 spoon. Guess sharing is in style. We do have to come back since we payed already for breakfast for our stay. Not sure if id do it again next time.
Edit. The rest of the days we sat closer to the bar and we got Felix as waiter. He's just wonderful, no issues at all no cold coffee or anything. Still won't give 5 cos of our server on the first day. Big huge shout out to Felix.“
