What a hidden gem! Loved coming here with a large group, was well taken care of and the food was amazing. The beignets are a must, they were incredible.
The owner of this place is a lovely, friendly woman with great energy who will give you the best service.. making you laugh, feeling right at home. All food is comfort style, with a slight Louisiana twist paired with local wines. Vegetarian main options are limited, can have lots of the sides but still enjoyed being here, a lot.
Walked in while they were closing from a big new years eve busy night. Yvette(owner) didnt turn us away. She was amazing offered us what they had-BBQ beef ribs, BBQ chicken, red beans & rice, black eyed peas, collard greens, cornbread waffles...an d their special crack butter(amazing butter). All the food was beyond perfect and the customer service was overly accommodating and friendly. Eat here if your in the area. You wont regret it!!
Where do I even begin? Saucy Mama's is, without a doubt, a 10 out of 10. The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was perfect. I opted for the BBQ Ribs with sides of fried okra and collard greens, while my husband enjoyed the fried chicken with beans and rice. Both dishes were phenomenal. The collard greens were tender and bursting with flavor, and the fried okra had that perfect crunch, elevated by delightful little bits of bacon. And let's not forget the cornbread waffles and crack butter—they were nothing short of amazing. Honestly, it's hard to put into words just how incredible the food was. We made reservations, and I highly recommend you do the same, as this place fills up fast. It's totally worth the stop!
While visiting the Armstrong Redwoods Park, we needed some good dinner food. We had driven past Saucy Mama Jook Joint and said “That’s it”! When we arrived around 6PM we were seated fairly quickly (by Saucy Mama herself - she’s great - what a smile). After looking over the menu we went for the specials appetizer (fried green heirloom tomato’s) and me - pork ribs and my wife the Yaba Daba Beef rib. The food arrived quickly and, wow, big portions!!! We were famished and dug in. The pork ribs had a nice sweet but not overpowering sauce and were fall off the bone tender. My wifes (huge) beef rib was thick, juicy and tender. Both had just a light smokiness letting the meats flavor shine. The sides? Well, the rice and beans were a hit (a little spicy but well made), the “greens” were tasty with lots of garlic and the mac and cheese was delicious - just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Don’t get me started on the incredible cornbread waffle and tasty sweet crack butter - I could have made a meal out of those!!! Overall a great dinner!!!
