Delicious food, nice old school ambience and great old school selection of music! Would definitely come back here. The fried catfish was perfectly fried, seasoned and the cornmeal crust was so good! My son loved his chicken and waffles to go. The French fries were fresh made and the French toast was great!

This place was actually really small in person
• There was no restroom and only about 5 tables. Also for breakfast options past a certain time there is an extra charge .

As for the food, it honestly wasn't the greatest . The Mac and cheese was kind of like crumbled cheese with pasta noodles.
The pancakes were pretty good but I believe they weren't fully cooked. The aesthetic was very cute but I honestly do not see myself coming here again.

Good morning my Ma -n-Pop world just had some awesome breakfast cheesy grits slamming, cheesy eggs on point ,pancakes soft ,sage sausage, turkey sausage had me sleepy afterwards. The service was amazing as well as cook and point with all the food. The vibe in this beautiful place feels like home. Enjoy good music oldie but goodies. Just a place to get a good bite to eat quality food. Thank you for the great experience.

I LOVE MA N POP’S!!!!!! Kindest people, great service, small but beautiful inside and out. Delicious DELICIOUS food, every time. Good lunch and dinner soul food but don’t sleep on the breakfast. The waffles and French toast are perfect and their pork breakfast sausage is the best I’ve ever had. Shout out to Tresa she’s a sweetheart❤️

I hardly ever leave reviews, but my visit to "Ma n Pop" left me no choice.

I'm being totally honest here, not because the food was any good. It was so awful, I feel like I need to warn others.

I ended up apologizing to my girlfriend dozens of times for taking her there.

This place seems more focused on looks than on the food they're serving.

People have been raving about their "Mac and Cheese," but I'm convinced they've never actually eaten here.

Trust me, the photos shared by others online don't lie—it's a disgrace.

Don't be tricked by the high ratings like I was. It's all about appearance, not the actual food. They're not willing to improve what they're serving, and that's just crazy.

I wish I'd taken a photo of my meal to show just how bad it was. Honestly, anything from the frozen section of a grocery store would taste better.

My girlfriend and I felt sick after eating here

I had the catfish dinner with Mac n Cheese and potato salad.

Why did I do this to myself?

The catfish was passable, but the potato salad tasted off, and the Mac and Cheese was basically just mac—no cheese.

How can a soul food place mess up Mac and Cheese this badly?

My girlfriend's dish wasn't any better. The gravy was watery and looked like diarrhea on a plate, and it tasted bland, as if it came from a can. A Hungry Man meal tastes better.

We've shown pictures of our meals to others, and they were just as appalled.

The whole experience was a letdown, especially since we had been looking forward to trying this place.

It's disheartening to see a restaurant, particularly one that's Black-owned, mislead people like this.

Those fake reviews are a disservice to everyone.Lastly, the photos I'll share are from other people.

Look at them and tell me, does this look appetizing to you? Serving food like this should be embarrassing.

Writing this review doesn't make me feel any better; it's just the harsh reality. There's a special place in hell for people who write fake reviews. This is supposed to be a soul food restaurant, but there's no soul to be found here. The service was okay, nothing special. But I won't be coming back. Ever.

To Ma-n-Pop, the food should speak for itself. You don't have to lie about your reviews. If it's good, people will naturally talk about it and spread the word. The food is the most important thing, then comes the culture and reviews of the restaurant. The food is the foundation, and if it’s good, it will stand on its own.

The food I ordered wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. I was a bit disappointed to be honest. I definitely will not order this combination again.

The turkey wings were dry and could use a bit more seasoning, the salmon croquettes were salty and the collard greens were bland.

I did love the decor. The restaurant is super cute and homely. If the food was better I would definitely recommend Ma-n-Pop for a cute lunch date or I would suggest to try another menu item.

The presentation of the food was horrible. The taste not so great. $47 was definitely not worth it.

I decided to try this restaurant for breakfast because it was highly recommended by a family member. This family member usually over exaggerates a lot.

The atmosphere was calming and intimate. This is a seated environment with about five (5) maybe six (6) tabes for two (2). The huge turn off was there is not one bathroom for seated customers. Not cool at all.

The breakfast food was bland and tasteless.

1st Plate: The eggs were watery, beef sausage were not well done, salmon cakes were not fully cooked (too soft on the inside), left a bad after taste in my mouth. The only thing tolerable on the plate was the Home-fries and Toast

2nd Plate: Toast was cold and hard, sage sausage was not well done and tasteless, the grits with cheese (cheese was like a mixed cheddar/mozzarella shredded cheese), eggs were watery, and the the sweet tea was tooooo sweet.

I usually give restaurants the benefit of the doubt. I almost always check customer reviews before making a purchase or visiting a restaurant.

Would I go back to Ma & Pop Soul Food Restaurant? No.
