Reviews of Sweet Mama's
Due to the Pandemic, they raised thier price a little bit. This establishment only takes cash, and you pay by the pound. There isn't a big meat selection. The chicken was kinda hard, and the yams weren't good at all.
Pineapple cake.. greens rice nd beans mac nd cheese bbq chicken nd pulled backed chicken. Very good.. the place is clean. The workers r nice nd helpful.. u can't use any card, only cash..
Went there on a whim and got what you see in the picture. The jerk chicken was very tasty. The fried chicken was dry. The salad with their dressing tasted like plain salad. The food is weighed up in the front.
$ 7.99 lb, Delicious fresh food, salads and desserts. They have pork, spare ribs and baked ham. They have a variety of dressings and condiments. Great food and clean place to eat.
So I had the rice & beans, corn jerk chicken , honey chicken & a slice of salmon . Oh and some candied Yams . All this for under $12 . Great prices, Good flavor, clean establishment. They have Glass placed on an angle around the steam tables so that if you're on the phone or just so happen to be speaking to someone you won't spit all over the food 👍👍👍This place is a must try !!!
Wings were good. Chicken had good flavor, but not crispy bc it's on a buffet line. Liked the greens, cornbread(lil mo butter) jerk Chicken & cabbage. Wish we would've gotten there earlier for larger pieces of the oxtail.
Just meh. This place obviously has been getting by on name alone. Use to be a really good place. Not so sure now. The food is decent but there are other places nearby that have better food.
The food is always great there! Everything's well prepared, and seasoned just right. My issue is sheer volume: There's so much delicious food, I just have such
a hard time deciding on what to
get. No one's rude, you can also
eat-in.
And their cake slices, OMG! Are
so appetizing it's impossible to
pass them up, lol.
The meal is unbeatable. The cost, simply depends on how much you indulge.
The food was good. I only gave it 4 stars because the noodles in the Mac and cheese was really soft. a little close to mushy. But I'm pretty sure it was just a bad day. The flavor was good...We enjoyed it....
The food was good but a bite on the pricey side because of their price per pound.
I love this place. I’m so sad to hear that one of its locations recent fire. I prey they are able to recover. I’m super happy I was able to eat from them this past weekend. I was literally at an Italian restaurant for drinks I could have eaten there but chose to get my dinner from Sweet Mama’s. I absolutely love the jerk chicken, Mac and cheese, greens and yellow rice with veggies. That’s my go to meal. My deepest prayers to the owners. I look forward to eating from you all again in the near future.
Nice place to enjoy delicious southern cooking.
Love Sweet Mamas!! Food is always delicious
Worth a detour! This simple buffet is filled with delightful and delicious traditional American food, from the complex collards, creamy mac-&-cheese, and tender chicken. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
In Harlem, stop by to dine for dinner or lunch. Multiple dishes weighted by the lb. Next to the 3 train and 19 bus. I also enjoy the experience.
A LITTLE PRICEY BUT SO WORTH IT. EVERYTHING WAS COOKED TO PERFECTION.
The food is good however it is expensive.
Absolute bliss. I have never gone wrong here. They should beautify the inside though. Step your game up step your cutomer up. On Garbage day in this neighborhood at night, the rats tule the streets. They travel 10 and twenty deep. Not good seeing rat(s) when going to eat. Is there anything that can be done about this? Sorry for that family! The food is delicious.
The food is good, the fruits, vegetables and salads looks fresh.
But the restaurant itself needs serious renovating, its really dirty in there.
This spot is one of my favorite soul food places to eat .They have an open buffet so you can pick up all your favorite foods in one plate . The staff is so friendly and have great customer service. I would recommend this spot for anyone in harlem looking for genuine tasting soul food .
Very valid, great customer service, good food choices A++
A definite stop when I come home to visit Harlem
The food that I got was good, the atmosphere was dull & dark...not enuf lighting...and not all the food was put out...its a buffet style type of set up!
The buffet food here is good every time I go! The candied yams and collard greens are delicious! Very Consistent food!! If you want soul food it is a very nice place to eat pop in and grab and go!
Food is delicious. Harlem is home of great soul food spots and this is one of them. Plus i love the buffet style!
I will not award five stars. Rather the restaurant deserves three stars. The environment is clean and good. It is the food that I am worried about. There is too much salt in the food. Sugar is added to the vegetables. We have to watch our carbohydrates and sodium intake as a race. We are prone to diabetes as well as high blood pressure. This is important reason for any establishment catering food to us has to be concerned about helping us preserve our good health. I have expressed my concern about this matter to almost everyone running this restaurant to no effect.
It is my hope that the proprietors of this restaurant will make changes that will be conducive to the health of all the patrons served.
Mac & cheese collard greens, yams, and sweet bbq chicken. Delicious 😁 …
It is a buffet style restaurant which has take out only for for now do to COVID 19 virus. Required that you wear mask for entry or no service. There is a hand pump sanitizer at the front of counter to use before you begin serving yourself. Sweet Mama's has several food items to choose from such as oxtail, collard greens, mac & cheese, ziti, fish, cabbage, jerk chicken, bbq chicken, yams. There is also fresh fruits, cakes and canned beverages. The food is good but can be pricey which is about $5.99 a pound and is weighed on a scale. It is a good place to go for a quick bite to eat but not everyday unless you can afford to spend between $10.00-$20.00 plus tax. Credit & debit cards are accepted.
Food is delicious . Plenty of varieties. You control quantities, it's buffet style. Hot wings, jerk chicken, macaroni and cheese, corn bread are must haves. Seating area is small but the food is so good you won't care.
The food is tasty and always ready to eat. Whether you take it to stay or go, you can't really go wrong here. Always clean and taken care of. Has a salad and fruit bar in the cold section, and southern cuisine in the hot/warm section. I recommend!
My husband and I go here all the time.
Love the food, mac & cheese is to die for. Corn bread is soooo good and big enough I can take some home for later. very inexpensive and we they have amazing video music you can watch while you eat.
A real touch of home, with the best buffet this side of the equator. This soul food will keep you coming back for more and more. It also has very loyal customers with speaks volumes of the service level. If visiting New York and want to discover real American soul food, this is the place to be.
Very good food! This one of my "go-to" spots when I need a balanced meal. Love the Turkey, mac & cheee never disappoints, and yams very delicious! Sweet msma's is home and feels just like a meal she'd make for you.
Great food selection! It's awesome to have a go to soul food takeout spot in NYC.
The foods amazing as expected. But what made me write this review was the fruit, its so refreshing is it organic? It looks pretty too like a cartoon fruit 🍇🫐 …
Salmon had me salivating. The rice & salad bar were both inclusive of all things fresh.
It’s the hot food for me. I love the greens and rice with turkey and
When you walk in all the different aromas hit you you, then the way the arrange the buffet makes your mouth water. Excellent food and a great staff make this a wonderful food experience!
They served it up for the homeless at NAN on thxgiving day. We got to sample before serving to the people...it was DELISH! Especially the spare ribs, ham, stuffing, BBQ wings. Oh LAWD....gettin hungry thinking about it. Two thumbs up! 👍👍 …
The food is good, it's nice and hot. A lot of flavor. The place is clean. No bad on price for all the food you get. The home made tea is great. I love that they have a hand sanitizer The bathroom is clean.
Another Harlem classic joint. This one is casual, lots of workers pick up lunch here. It's a sale bar food far style restaurant. You can sit, I always like to take out here. All the southern comfort food your heart desires, and they also have a great selection of salad options.
I was in New York for a quick weekend visit and I was looking for a good clean"soul food" restaurant to get a bite to eat and I found Sweet Mama's online...it took me about 15 minutes from where I was to get there... but once I was there I found the food to be hot, well presented and very tasty... I would recommend this restaurant if U R looking for really well done soul food in New York City...
It was very tasty but the oxtail needed wayyy more attention. But not every piece was non editable.... let you know about desserts n beverages next round ....
Amazing food and prices!!! Brought mine back with me to Ohio and I’ve been making little plates from it all day and every single one is the best plate I ever had! Lol. Revisiting the Harlem area because of you guys! Thank you!
The food was delicious. The place wasn't too bad. I wish they would of played more music. At the time I went my family and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
Second time here! Being from the South, I have to say the food is good!
However, they weigh your plate and hit you in the head with the price per pound so be leery of that!
The chicken was very well seasoned and baked Mac and cheese was sweat and cheesy the meat loaf could use a bit more seasoning but it all was on point everything touched down and I love mamas cooking
Smells really good , actually taste good too
Food is so delicious fresh and just delicious. I’m Mexican and this is the 1st time I’ve tried Caribbean food. I’m coming back 100%. Thank you and lovely customer service.
Food was delicious, reasonably priced even with the COVID-19 hike ( it’s understandable thanks DiBlasio/Cuomo) highly recommend, the banana pudding was amazing.
The food is good. However, they really need to cut the stems off of the collard greens and the cheese needs to be melted into the mac and cheese. Not sit clumped on top....
The food was good but I just don't like the buffet
Excellent food , cleanliness is prioritized , music is complimentary of a tranquil atmosphere suitable for dining in peace. Highly recommend this place for all who enjoy great food. Prices are very affordable
Really good selection of different dishes loved the fried chicken and their salad bar
Good Soul Food and the price is right. Excellent Soul food. I love this place. Definitely my go to for soul food. Their not so expensive like the other Soul food places in Harlem.
I visited the Yonkers location,it is just wow,every bite is a bit of heaven. Being vegetarian still found plenty to try. The corn bread,the best I ever had
My favorite food take out and buffet..good eating all the gime ..be back soon.
U want a clean and friendly place to eat good/ delicious food ; where u choose what u want this is the place to go. The manager as well as his staff are very professional, always have a smile
Food was good. Place was not crowded. Price was reasonable for a family of 6. Paid around $80 bucks. Would recommend
Great buffet not way too pricey but not a $7-$10 place either but its worth your $20 and up price the soul food is great
I went but did not pick up anything. It did not have what I wanted at the time. It looked clean and the food looked appetizing.
The food is fantastic always fresh. The place is super clean inside and the staff are very friendly. There jerk chicken is off the chain!!
Wonderful food!!! I don't live in NY anymore but when I come, I have to come looking for the ox tails and greens. Plus, gotta get some yams.
Been eating here for years, I moved out of bx about 2 years and cam back today to get some food from here, same cook same great taste
the food is always delicious and the staff is very kind and accommodating! love it here
The food there is so good and if you want to dine in then you can cause there's seats and if you miss the ol' Harlem soul food then head on over there to get some of that good stuff
The food is set up like a buffet. You pick what you want, place it in container, pay and be on your way. Very good selection of of food.
Food is very good, seasoned well, hot and fresh, tasty. Recommended to anyone
I love this place. They never disappoint. They catered my wedding and did phenomenal.
Being from Texas, i can honestly say this was the best soul food eating I've had up north. Well seasoned and real comfort food that southerners look for.
Tasty, comfort food, sold by the weight. Delicious fruit salads & other deserts available. Yummy yum indeed.
Love the food here. Simple but all very delicious.
I’d give a lung for for a lifetime supply of their lobster. Please and thank you.
The food at Sweet Mama's taste awesome. I normally buy the Collard greens and the Jerk chicken, it fills me up pretty fast.
Didn’t really like the Mac n cheese but good food
Fast and quick service plus the food is awesome I love the salad bar but they need avocados. I love it hmmmmm sweet mama.
My son and I come here after his practices and everything is always fresh and delicious. Being from the south, it's nice to find a real soul food restaurant
They really do have a vast majority of soul food dishes and also desserts fruit salads and garden salads this one is one of my faves 😋😋😋😋 …
Great place to have food catered. Price is just right. I use them all the time.
When I moved to San Francisco from Brooklyn, a friend of mine who was sick and tired of hearing me complain about the lack of "good old Italian food" in the city sent me to Original Joe's in the Tenderloin street and I was hooked! This was about 20 years ago!
The food is not too bad but its really a African American style restaurant
The food is pretty but sometimes they overdue it with the collard greens and mac and cheese (Sugar)
A great selection of food. Very tasty. I love the sweet potatoes here.😋 …
Very very good food! Customer service excellente! Will be going back again! Loved it!
Great taste of food, clean place to eat at very friendly employees. Fresh food lots of choices to choose from what to eat.

Volunteered during Thanksgiving.. The food was not good at all... I felt really sad because the food was prepared & packed for seniors...
One of the best food spots in Harlem that I've been to thus far! Thank you for the great food and customer service.
Very tasty food with a Caribbean influence in a family oriented environment. Very affordable
Food a little salty,but good tho. Alot of people have medical problem so cook with discretion.
I've tried all number of foods from here & all of them were tasty
The cashier has a very nasty attitude, me and my coworkers paid for a old lady's food and he just sat it on her table without even telling her...he has a bad attitude since we walked in...
Nice place to stop by otw to the next. There is a nice variety of food and dessert as a buffet.
Weight prices have gone up too high, can't enjoy what you want. Overpriced
Great spot for food first time here reasonable prices too 👍👍 …
Food was really good! The mac and cheese was my favorite.
