Mama's is real home cooking. I come weekly mostly for oxtails dinner. Her oxtail is cooked true to Jamaica teachings. The meat is well browned and seasoned well. I could only comment on the oxtail dinner. The mac n cheese is over cooked, cabbage and collard green is splendid. Rice and peas cooked to perfection. I would not suggest this place as a sit down restaurant. The decor and kitchen are lacking appeal. It's dark upon entry; the window has been broken since I moved here 4 months ago. She has a large wooden plank in its place. Nothing about the restaurant says welcome. Lots of times her grandaughter tends the register--she's too grown for her own good. She actually tilted the tip jar in my direction. I told her some words. This hole in the wall still manages to serve great food. Take out orders is my recommendation, but please have newspaper in car to catch the leaks. The styrofoam containers without fail are horrible to hold food.
Pros: Great oxtails, rice and peas and greens
Cons: Decor and service
