We are always on the search for good homemade country food. Kaelan's favorite is country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. So far the search has been a flop, it's hard to find a good breakfast place that does EVERYTHING well. Until now.
We kept seeing this place pop up on Yelp with excellent reviews (827 reviews @ 4 & 1/2 star). Of course you can't always trust Yelp because we've been fooled before. So you just gotta go there and try for yourself.
We went on a Sunday, decide to go early (10 am) and the line was already out the door!
It was about a 35-40 minute wait.
It's located in a small strip mall with only 5 businesses in there. Most are auto part stores and a Halloween store, but nothing was open at this time, so all the cars we saw in the parking lot (20+ cars) were ALL to Mr. Mama's.
They have a small seating area up front about 5 chairs when you walk in and you can immediately see their open kitchen. The place doesn't seat too many tables, probably 50. Decoration is minimal with few pictures on the wall and 2 flat screen TVs.

Overall review:
Chicken Fried Steak: crunchy breading, the gravy is definitely homemade (which is very hard to find here believe it or not). The waitress said the gravy is made from bacon and maple syrup. Very rich in flavor. The hash browns are a nice golden color and crunchy. Eggs were cooked perfectly a over medium.
Biscuit: Homemade biscuit with a crunchy bottom.
Mama's Short Stack: this is probably one of the BEST pancakes I've had. Soft, fluffy and huge!
Cinnamon Roll: Definately homemade as well, soft and warm. Although I'm not the biggest cinnamon fan, this was VERY delicious, not overpowering in flavor.
Everything was cooked to perfection and fresh made to order. Like I said, it's rare to find a breakfast place that did everything well. We got there at 10 am, got seated at 10:35 and left around 11:15 and the whole time there were always a line out the door and people coming in nonstop. Our bill was a total of $31.89 (not cheap but we pigged out, it's definitely worth it for great food!) We will definitely be back!
Upon walking up to the shop, you can see at least 15 workers from the see through window working on numerous dumping. They are all fresh made to order.
Everything was excellent. I don't believe they take reservations and there's always a line because they are that good. I would recommend avoid busy lunch/dinner hours. It's definitely worth the wait!
