Mamma J’s should be a 10 star! Absolutely the best restaurant hands down in downtown Richmond. I fly all across the states for work and I must say the soul, love and passion put into this food is on fire! I highly recommend when in the downtown Richmond area that you make it a point to stop by this
Our food was absolutely delicious! The service from the reception/host to the young man at the bar. Very polite, professional, and fast. Our food was cooked seasoned and we loved it! What’s not seen in our photos are the desserts! Off the chain ( make you want to slap you Mama ) GOOD! Peach Cobbler
