    Quirky, rough, but good food and service. We stopped for breakfast and were not disappointed. However when the waitress delivered an order of onion rings nearby I nearly changed my order! Well worth stopping if you’re in the area.

    We have been a few times now that we live in the area. The pic is their fried mushrooms, they are delicious. I've also tried the chicken fried chicken with gravy. So far everything has been awesome. There are daily lunch specials.

    It's a lay back hometown kinda feel. The food is excellent and prices are fair. My heater burger was absolutely sloppy & delicious. Hubby got breakfast and he polished it all off. Recommend stopping by if you're hungry.

    Extremely good food, been here 2 days in a row. Visiting at the lake and this is the spot to go. The chicken fried steak is massive and the pancakes are so good. I love the homey feeling to it too.

    Great place to eat. I had ordered the lrg CFS and didn't realize it had two large chicken fried steaks with a large bowl of mashed potatoes. The price was great for the amount of food. And it tastes pretty good. Also had the blooming onion that was pretty good as well.

    We a couple of old guys who like old style food and service. We were staying in Brenham and looking for a good breakfast place. We found Mama’s. I had the chicken fried steak with my two eggs. My friend had the grilled pork chop with his. The food was just what we were looking for and the service was great. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.
