    Excellent meal. Mama Ree's is like eating at your grandma's. We stopped on a Sunday will driving from Auburn to Memphis. It was a review from Raecheal that convinced us to try Mama Ree's. Turned out Raecheal was our server. There were a good number of customers there, but we were seated right when we arrived. The buffet was delicious. Everything was hot and ready to eat. I had a couple main lunch plates then some of the dessert options. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves traveling along 280 at the right time for a Mama Ree's fix. Thank you Reachel and Mama Ree for taking good care of us. See you next time.

    My family and I drove 2 hours to eat at Mama Rees. We ate breakfast and it was so wonderful. Mama Ree, She is precious as well as her family and restaurant staff. The food was fantastic! We also tried out some deserts before we left. The peach cobbler will knock your socks off! Wow, is it good! The atmosphere took me back to my grandparents' way of home cooked meals. All around, great trip! I'm looking forward to going back soon for the lunch buffet!

    There's good food and then there's Mama Ree's! The food is fantastic and I eat out almost everyday, I'm in outside sales. Great lunch buffet, you can't go wrong.

    Been here a few times, now! The food is phenomenal, the service is friendly and great, and it’s an all you can eat buffet, including dessert and drink, all for $15 (at the time of our attendances)! We highly recommend it!

    This is the place Granddaddy always wanted to eat at. & for good reason. The food is always fresh/new, the service is phenomenal, and Mama Ree leads by example. This restaurant is the last of a dying breed and Mama Ree works her tail off to preserve this little piece of Sylacauga. I will eat here every chance I get.

    Stopped here on a trip from Florida to Birmingham after seeing it was top rated in Sylacauga. I am so glad we did! The food is phenomenal, the salad bar fresh, and the service is great. Mama Ree herself actually made a visit to our table and she’s such a sweet Southern soul. Discovered that Mama Ree has a YouTube channel with her recipes and set a goal to make them all!

    If I’ve been here before it’s been too long. I was surprised to find this was a buffet which made getting lunch quickly as I was hungry. A close friend told me later he had heard a member of the staff say, “Get all you want, eat all you get.” Good to remember. I ate everything I got because it was tasty. The store was crowded but I never had to wait long when I visited the buffet. Waitress was friendly and quick to service our table. I’ll drop in again when convenient.

    Dark colored spaghetti and something that looked like salmon patties on the hot bar, and a few vegetables. I came with coworkers, but didn't eat. It didn't look good at all, and not nearly worth $15. Wish I had taken pics, I couldn't believe it
