“My wife & I were visiting Mobile to spend Christmas with her father. We like to eat where the locals like to go and avoid chain restaurants as much as possible. Mary's Southern Cooking came up and we decided to go there for lunch. They have the absolute juiciest fried chicken breast I've ever had. I also got mac and cheese and corn to go with it. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend for good southern cooking comfort food.”
— Christopher Cole“First time customer. Had heard good things and they weren’t lying! Got the fried chicken plate with black eyed peas, baby limas, and yams. All were on point! Those yams and baby limas were money. This meal with a sweet tea was $25 before tip, but worth it. You better plan for a nap after. I will definitely be back for more.”
— Randy Miller“Might have been my first visit, but won’t be my last!! From the friendly greeting as we entered to the ample selection for a meat and three, this was a very pleasant experience. Not only did I not leave hungry, I have enough leftovers for another meal. Do yourself a favor and go get you some!”
— Robert Stephens“This restaurant came highly recommended and rightly so. They specialize in southern cooking, huge portions and friendly service. Service was great but a little overwhelmed but I contributed that to the number of customers. The food tastes great, it has a home cooked flair. My one takeaway is that it is torn between fast food and a sit down restaurant. K”
