What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ Really enjoyed this place. It is similar to Paula Deen’s but better as they let you swap out your sides after you start with the initial 4. The fried chicken and fish were delicious. The biscuits with strawberry glaze you can put on them are scrumptious. The Mac and cheese, taters and dumplings were great. The peach cobbler was good and comes with a scoop of ice cream. The corn on the cob was awful, dried out and old, we went for lunch I suspect it was from the night prior. The chocolate cobbler didn’t taste good, not a brownie or pudding I tried it but it wasn’t for me some folks may love it. The summer salad was a small bowl of little tomatoes mostly. ”
“ Our family of 4 dined here on a Saturday night and this was our experience. Atmosphere: This place is full of southern charm. The farmhouse appeal is carried with detail throughout. We especially liked the two ceiling fans linked on a pulley system. There are photo op spots around the property outside with a face-in-hole board, rocking chairs, old trucks, and even a tractor. Game Space: We loved that this restaurant had a little outdoor game area for those that were waiting. After dinner we enjoyed a game of hooks, but there was also ping pong, corn hole, and a large scale connect four and a checkers board. Food: Dinner on Saturday night included fried chicken, country fried steak, and ham. We also rotated through sides of chicken & dumplings, mac & cheese, green beans, hush puppies, and sweet potato casserole. The chicken was lightly breaded and moist, the cubed steak was tender, and the ham was ok but nothing special. All of the sides were good - especially the biscuits and strawberry jam! The chocolate cobbler desert was very fabulous, but the banana pudding was disgusting. The bananas weren’t ripe enough and it didn’t have a traditional wafer texture. Disappointment for my kids who really love banana pudding. Service: Noe was a great server! She kept drinks topped off and had dinner refills replenished quickly. ”
“ Stopped in for brunch and noticed they had all you can eat. My husband ordered a Blue Plate Special and I opted for the buffet! It was all brought to me!!! OMG! AMAZING! Was told I could order extra of anything that they had put on the table! Pic says it all!!! Best chocolate gravy! It was all great!! I promise that you will not leave hungry ”
“ Had my 60th birthday party here. Food was wonderful! Staff didn't think before setting hot dishes in front of the baby. And then he almost spilled ham juice down my niece's back. Thankfully he missed. Other than those two issues, service was great. The food was delicious! Loved the fried chicken! ”
“ Mama's Farmhouse was impressively clean and delicious. There is ample parking, with views of the Smokies and plenty of activities nearby. The waiting area is large and superbly clean. I don't think there was a speck of dust to be seen. There are nice rocking chairs outside also. I had a take-out order and was greeted by multiple staff members immediately. Everyone was very nice and helpful, and did not act inconvenienced at all when I needed to add a couple of things to my order. They have many homemade items for sale in the waiting/checkout area, including their own strawberry jelly/jam, and one other flavor that I can't recall (I think peach maybe). I forgot to get a photo, but my husband loved the banana pudding. I don't care for banana pudding, but I tried it at his request, and I'll admit that it was particularly good compared to one I had tried the day before. It definitely tasted like it was made with real bananas and good ingredients. It was obvious that they take pride in their restaurant and want to keep it nice. I overheard a manager or owner talking about traffic for later in the day, and trying to prepare for an influx of customers and large parties...He was already thinking ahead, and making sure they were staffed properly and that everything runs smoothly. Overall, it's a cute place with great food that feels like Grandma's country cooking. The fried okra was terrific, and the mashed potatoes and gravy were outstanding. There's plenty of seating, games and rocking chairs outside, toys for kids, and friendly employees. ”
