Mama Ann's Soulfood - St Paul

I was in need of black eyed peas for New Year's Day as I would be traveling. I visited the restaurant on the 30th hoping to purchase some, and the owner went out of their way to make them for me. I returned over 4 hours later and picked up 3 containers of the most delicious black eyed peas I have ever tasted in a restaurant. The restaurant may not have much ambiance, but the food certainly makes up for it!

The staff is friendly, but some of the items I wanted to try, like the oxtails, were not available. The greens could have been cooked a bit longer, but overall the food was okay.

The cornbread was over cooked the greens was under cooked and tasted burnt couldn't use the bathroom said they keep it locked cause people go in there to get high even tho I was a paying customer. Not a good choice too eat and way to expensive for the food and service I got not happy camper gross place the people that took my order and cooked looked like they was the people using the bathroom for the wrong reasons if you kno what I mean not recommend at all....

Tastes almost like it was made at home. So fresh and flavorful. The portions are large enough for an adult and small child. Think of like a big plate at a barbeque.

I placed my order for pork chops mac cheese and candy yams on Yelp the app. The app stated that my order was ready for pick up when my daughter arrived at the restaurant to pick up the food that was rude and was arguing with her about my order. She gave them the order confirmation number and he still refused to look it up. So, I go back to the restaurant (dirty rude) to get my food and they gave me everything but what I ordered. Never again!!
