Today we tried Ma’s house and were very disappointed. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the woah chicken and waffles. The woah chicken was just dipped in franks red hot sauce which made it he waffle soggy. The home fries and eggs that came with the meal were good and well seasoned. I think they should turn the music down a bit. It is overwhelming. Overall wouldn’t recommend

The name Ma's House is perfect as there's warm family feeling when visiting. The fried chicken has a nice crisp to it and isn't dry at all! It was seasoned to perfection, and after you take the first bite, you're for sure to want more!The fried fish was also crispy and seasoned well. It wasn't dry nor did it taste fishy at all! The tartar sauce went very well with it and if anything, added MORE to the bite of crispyness!The Mac n cheese was nice and creamy as well as being flavored to perfection.The service was great! Our waiter was very attentive! Just to sum it up, the food was SCRUM-DIDDLY-UMPTIOUS , and the service was IMPECCABLE!100% would reccomend going to, especially if you want some high quality food with an at home family feel.

I ordered the BBQ chicken soul bowl..it wasn't as good or as plentiful as before. I've ordered this bowl 4 times in the last 6 months. I only had two sweet potatoes in it, a spoon of greens and the Mac and cheese wasn't as good. I will order again ! Today maybe was just an off day. ?

First time I ever had pickled collard greens to much vinegar. Mac and cheese had no salt no no seasoning no flavor. I was expecting a chicken breast from a whole chicken not a precut chicken breast that wasn’t even tenderize.The Vanilla cake was extremely dry.Your frosting on your lemon appetizing.I was disappointed with the

believe me guys don't even think that will be a good place for breakfast. They give a cold food, they take like two hours to bring your foot, they give you missing food. It was my first and last time to go there, I don't wanna anyone to have the same experience.

Overall the food is always great… today I ordered shrimp w/grits and it comes with a biscuit.. usually you can tell they’re handmade but today you can nOt tell me that they didn’t use pilsbury biscuits. I know the taste and it was disgusting. Everything else was good per usual but noo to the biscuits today.

My friend and I were on the search for a soulful meal. Glad we ended up at Ma's! The restaurant is very large and the staff was very kind. I got the shrimp and grits minus the bacon and sausage. The grits were cheesy and the shrimp was very flavorful. My friend got the fish and grits. The whiting had great batter and was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back!
