“Finally checked it out today after work! While I will always miss the beloved Tycoon restaurant and the Hwang family who ran the place, I am very happy with Mama's Kitchen. The hard working Mr. Jacob is a very kind man and an excellent cook!

I can't wait to come back and try the catfish since the young man I walked past when I left was so excited about it. He described the catfish as "bussin!" and after everything I just ate, I am inclined to fully believe him.

I got a bunch of different things for my family today to try out Mama's Kitchen. Here's our honest review:
Buffalo wings 8.5/10
Honey gold wings 8.5/10
Seasoned fries 9/10
Beef samoskas 9.5/10
Shawarma chicken combo 10/10
Service 11/10

Great place. Great people. Great food. We will be back for sure.

Try the shawarma chicken combo!“

“Ate Ty's barbeque yesterday for lunch! Brother & friend had eaten there the day before & bought some to bring home to eat later. Wow! Ty's is the best! From all the rest! Great smoky flavor, no fat, good mix of some burnt ends with lean meat....so so good! Also potato salad was delicious too! Like my brother said, if he's driving by there, he's stopping in! You should too! Never disappoints!“

“Whenever I visit home, The Grille is always my first stop! There are just somethings that you can never get anywhere else, besides home! The southern hospitality, and the warmth and kindness that the staff show is always valued. Plus, the food is always consistently good. ?“

“Amazing! Just passing through from Dallas to Ohio and had to stop by! First time and it was so good!“

“We were seated promptly and our waiter, Stephen Shelby was excellent. We ate 2-07-22 at 3:20 pm. My bbq salad was delicious.“

“It’s was great! Good service and food!“

“I had a Brisket BBQ sandwich and these guys knocked it out of park. Initially I thought man these guys are expensive but, sandwich was amazing, the meat was piled on and delicious. The two sides were very generous. I had the potato salad and baked beans. The service was excellent and the folks were polite and friendly. I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“man, this food is so good. I ordered the Alfredo Stuffed Turkey Leg 🍗 🦵 after taking the first bite, I wanted to go back to the food truck and buy another!!! I definitely recommend Barbeque Off Da Chainz“

“I contacted King of Kings BBQ to place a catering order. Both he and his wife personally delivered the food. Mr. James, after tasting the ribs that he had previously cooked and realizing they weren't up to standard, drove 1.5 hours to Oxford, MS, to bring me a whole new pan of ribs for my special occasion.“

“TLDR: Cozy, country-style spot with friendly service and traditional food. The automatic 20% tip might be a dealbreaker for some.

Review for Old Whitten Tavern

Food: The menu sticks to traditional country flavors. The hashbrowns were good, though I prefer a layer of crunch, and these were soft throughout. The eggs were cooked perfectly and came with cheese as I ordered. The biscuits were thin, flat, and basic in flavor, but the country gravy had a good texture with a simple, satisfying taste. The pancake was generously sized (about 10 inches across and 1/2 inch thick) with a soft and chewy texture, though it lacked much flavor on its own. Thankfully, the syrup complemented it well. Overall, the food gives off a "like grandma used to make" vibe, focusing on simplicity over bold flavors.

Service: The service was excellent. All the staff pitched in to check on me, ensuring I was taken care of. The friendliness added to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. However, the establishment automatically adds a 20% tip to each dine-in order, regardless of the service quality. While you can add more, it feels a bit rigid—good service should earn a good tip, not have it guaranteed.

Atmosphere: The country vibe is undeniable. The interior features dark ceilings, tables, and floors, with moderate lighting during the day that feels slightly dim but cozy. With one booth and about 17 tables inside, the spacing is comfortable without feeling crowded. The outside seating allows dogs, making it a good option for pet owners. The full bar and all-day breakfast menu add to its versatility, whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. However, with only one private bathroom per gender, the morning coffee rush could be challenging.

Summary: Old Whitten Tavern offers a solid country breakfast experience with traditional flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. While the food and service were good, the automatic 20% tip policy might not sit well with those who feel tipping should reflect service quality. Still, it’s a cozy spot worth visiting, especially if you’re seeking classic, no-frills breakfast options.

Parking: The parking lot is shared with multiple other businesses, so during heavy traffic times it could be tough to find a spot near the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Though it has a full bar, it is very kid friendly. The bar area is smaller, opening up more to the dine in experience.“

“We were seated promptly and our waiter, Stephen Shelby was excellent. We ate 2-07-22 at 3:20 pm. My bbq salad was delicious.“

“Tops has some really good food. Especially in Memphis“

“Nobody told me they have a brunch here on Sundays. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was a pleasant surprise. The service was good, the food was good, the drinks were good, the place was clean and it was a nice environment. I'll definitely go back.“

“Whenever I have people staying with us, this is the BBQ place we go. It’s a generational thing for my family now. We’ve had 4 generations eat at Three Little Pigs. When my grandfather moved out of the area to the suburbs, he would still drive into town to get BBQ from here whenever the family would get together. We really enjoy the place and the food. The BBQ, ribs, beans, fries, Mac and cheese, BBQ bologna, Burger Que, it’s all good here.“

“Nice place. Plenty of parking. The lunch menu is affordable. We went at lunchtime and had the lunch special. The brisket slider was good, but not great. Some parts of the meat were tough. The server was good, but they only had one server during lunch.“

“Delicious food and great customer service. Hard to find now days!“

“My wife and I drove from Alabama to meet with my niece and her family for dim sum. First time here with new owners. The service was beyond great. The quality of the dim sum was the best. We definitely return!!“

“Fish was perfectly fried sides were delicious, The waitress was amazing, Definitely will be returning.“

“The food is absolutely ? amazing! But, the service is absolutely ? beyond horrible. I ordered and paid for my food 1 hr in advance and still had to wait another 45 minutes to get it when I arrived. The cashier was too busy eating and talking. Then, she had my order incorrect and didn't want to fix the issue. She finally did, in which took yet another 15 minutes.Again, the food is amazing! One of the best BBQ spots in Memphis, but they have to do better with customer service and time.“

“This place the food is good.I recommend it today was my 4th visit here and so the food is always delicious and authentic100% you won't regret itpresentation 10The food is good this is my 4time here always good.I really recommend this place to eat Honduran food...“
