Customer Reviews

First time eating here and it was really good. That home cooked feeling of good food especially on a buffet is priceless. Everything on the buffet was good. Fried chicken, tenders, meatloaf, vegetables and the salad was excellent. The dessert with the banana pudding and the others were delicious. One of my favorite dishes was the cut up hot dogs and the sauerkraut was old school and awesome. Definitely will be back.

My husband and I met my parents here. It was our first time here and we were not let down...our first interaction was with Alley and she was the definition of warmth and hospitality! She graced us with her authentic and loving disposition....she was an excellent example of God's love. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Thanks Alley and Mama Ree for being so inviting, patient and attentive to us. We were blessed by you both and are thankful for our first experience at Mama Ree's.

I have not been to this restaurant. I live in NC. But I saw Ms. Ree on YouTube making a Cinnamon Apple Bake and just wanted to say that I was impressed with her love and appreciation for the Lord. I am also a Christian, and it's just very uplifting in the world today when you meet another "sister" in Christ who gives God glory and praise. God bless you Ms. Ree. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven one day! In Christ, Jerrie Farmer - Fuquay, North Carolina.

Excellent meal. Mama Ree's is like eating at your grandma's. We stopped on a Sunday will driving from Auburn to Memphis. It was a review from Raecheal that convinced us to try Mama Ree's. Turned out Raecheal was our server. There were a good number of customers there, but we were seated right when we arrived. The buffet was delicious. Everything was hot and ready to eat. I had a couple main lunch plates then some of the dessert options. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves traveling along 280 at the right time for a Mama Ree's fix. Thank you Reachel and Mama Ree for taking good care of us. See you next time.
