Note:  Mama Dean’s has relocated to the old Mr. Burger on South School Street in Fayetteville, farther South on School Street from its old location. 

I took my boys to Mama Dean’s last night, and the food was a hit!  Everything is fresh and homemade — from the corn bread to the greens and the black eyed peas. 

The ham and chicken tenders (all white meat) were both favorites.  My kids especially liked the fact that a homemade dessert came with every meal.  They both chose chocolate cake, of course.  I chose banana pudding, but was forced to share because my boys liked it so much.  They also got a kick out of seeing their mom drink tea from a Mason jar.

Do not expect any fancy atmosphere here.  But, if you like good southern cooking, try it.

We had tried to eat at Mama Deans several times before, but it had always been closed (even though the sign said they should be open).  However, the owners assured me that they are staying open their normal hours now.  And they do take credit cards.

Location:  1701 South School Street in Fayetteville.  Take College Ave. in Fayetteville South to Sixth Street.  Keep going through the Sixth Street light, and you will see Mamma Deans on your right.

    My husband and I finally ate at Mamma Dean’s tonight and the food was great but the service was HORRIBLE! We waited 30 minutes before someone even took our drink order and then we had to wait another 30 minutes for someone to take our food order. We then had to wait an hour before we actually got our food. The food was really good and everything was homemade but if you don’t want to wait for almost two hours I would recommend going somewhere else.

Got something to say?
