My mother-in-law, who is senior and has difficulty walking, wanted to go to Miss Mamie's this Saturday. We also had a child and an infant in our group.
We arrived exactly at noon. The door was locked. We knocked, and the woman at the counter looked up at us, then back down. We knocked again. She looked up and made a ""ten minutes"" sign with her hands. At 12:10, we knocked but we could see no one, so we called. We explained we were outside in the heat with a senior citizen and an infant. We were told it would be another five minutes.
At 12:15 we were allowed to come in and sit. It was just our table of 4, plus another table of 2 nearby. The woman who seated us promptly disappeared into the back.
At 12:30 we were given menus. We ordered immediately, since we'd been reading the paper copies for the past half hour.
At 12:45, we were given cornbread. It was good, I think--since we weren't given side plates, and it was very warm and crumbly, we tried to balance it in our hands to eat and it fell apart all over the table. Since the table was pretty sticky (as was the high chair and the regular chairs), we weren't going to pick the crumbs off the table to eat.
At 1:00, I left since the food was nowhere near ready, and the baby needed a nap at this point.
Many members of my family work in food and beverage. There is NO EXCUSE for being unable to serve food for over an hour after a restaurant's listed opening time. I could have easily cooked the same meal in an hour myself. Most restaurants will bring over extra bread, or at least apologize, after fifteen or twenty minutes. Your staff acted like OVER AN HOUR WAIT was our fault for showing up so ""early"" when they weren't ""ready.""
According to my family, the food, when it came, was adequate. However, they said it wasn't worth the price, let alone the unbelievable wait. We recommend Amy Ruth's or Melba's instead.
