Makes your own mama more like a step-mama. This East Village restaurant would seem more appropriately placed in Louisiana, Mississippi or the likes. New Yorkers should thank their lucky stars that this Southern belle has graced the streets in a city of foie gras and fusion. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and meatloaf with mac and cheese are served up cafeteria style (sans lunch lady with hairnet and orthopedic shoes). Come hungry – Mama’s Food Shop stuffs ya just like your own mammy would. The best part? It’s BYOB, so wash that chicken leg down with a cold brew and you have died and gone to heart attack heaven. The motto here is “Shut up and eat it,” and a good kid always does what his mother says.
