Sylvia Meyer Love this place! Food is always fresh and good. Hush puppies to start, cedar neck clams over the linguini, and the mahi blackened with veggies + another side! Good prices for the amount of food you get. Option of sitting inside and outside on the deck which overlooks the water. Clean and friendly staff!

Jack Yasgar Stopped in for a late dinner and had the Mamas Fried Chicken dinner. Server suggested some honey mustard to go to it, which was great. Fries are always great here. Mamas chicken was great. They have so many different things on the menu, its a great place to go if youre not sure what you feel like eating.

I-Min Tsai A great brunch restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is delicious and served quickly after ordering. Our server, Kimberly B, always provides a top-notch service. Other staffs are also very friendly. The sage biscuit is our favorite! Other menu items we recommend are: Crab Cake Benedict, Bayou Benedict, Shrimp & Grits, and Very Berry Biscuits. Oh I almost forget the deep fried bacon and onion rings!

Todd Curtiss I have to admit I have driven by the “cone” for years and haven’t stopped to see if it was the same as it was so many years ago when my parents would take us. As it turns out they haven’t changed much and in a good way. Quick friendly service tables ready to sit and enjoy and the delicious soft serve we get set to enjoy. Nice change up quick treat and reasonable price. I would definitely recommend it if you love soft serve. If there are kids involved you can thank me later. Give it a try you won’t be sorry!
