About Mama J and the Restaurant

Story

About Mama J the Person:

One of fourteen children of Willard and Alease Roland, Velma "Mama J" Johnson was born and raised right here in Richmond, VA. As part of a family that large, along with her sisters and brothers, they took on a lot of responsibility around the house. One of those responsibilities was helping their mother in the kitchen. This is where she learned many of the recipes that are now served in Mama J’s.

About Mama J's the Restaurant:

Mama J’s is a neighborhood restaurant based on the family tradition of going to grandma’s for Sunday dinner. Our goal is to combine great southern food with outstanding service in a relaxing atmosphere. We prepare our food fresh daily on site, everything from pan fried catfish to candied yams & macaroni & cheese to homemade cakes & cobblers. The Mama J’s experience is designed to take you back to a simpler time where family gatherings were commonplace and everyone looked forward to them because of the food and fellowship. Come experience it for yourself and let us know what you think. Welcome Home!

Absolutely brilliant Southern fair at a moderate to cheap price. I had the fried pork chops, yes fried pork chops smothered in gravy with onions and bell pepper. Mac and cheese is always a plus and the green beans are tasty! A little bit of a wait if you arrive in the height of the lunch hour but worth the wait! The staff are absolutely friendly. Such a breath of fresh air after living in California for so long.

We REALLY enjoyed this place. The staff is very friendly and the food was great! I had the beef tips and rice recommended by our waitress along with green beans and yams. The yams had too much spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) and was the only thing I didn’t like, but everything else was delicious! I tasted my Husband’s fried catfish, collard greens & Mac & cheese and it was all on point! The wait time is long (our wait was 1 hr)and the place is small so there’s not much seating so just be prepared for that... it wasn’t a big deal we just went back out to the car to sit and wait. Praying that God bless them with a bigger building to expand because the food and experience was GREAT!!

Always have to make a stop when in the area. Amazing food! Some of the best soul food I've ever tasted. During peak times the wait can be an about an hour, but its worth the wait. Serving staff is very sweet as well!

This is a little gem of a restaurant in Richmond. I have been a few times over the past ten years. It has matured. It's a small place and almost always has a wait of about 30 to 45 minutes. The food is pretty good, unique. If you grew up on soul food then it will be about average I guess, I really enjoy southern food. I don't usually like service staff, but they were all friendly and responsive. The food comes quickly. Best of all - the prices! Most everything is less than $10 even for dinner.

Great customer service! The ribs left me wondering what happened and I received a very professional response. Would be great if they could finish off the ribs in the oven versus boil and smother w/sauce. Really liked using the leapset app to place my order!
