OMG everything was beautiful and of course AMAZING. Especially the Mac & Cheese we enjoyed everything Rib Tips, Collard Greens, Candied Yams yes all was good. The area is beautiful and safe. That was my concern BUT once I arrived it was GREAT. I need DJ and Photographer Information. Yes this will be a tradition to come out and support.

We attended their annual bbq and the food was delicious- from the potato salad to the greens to the ribs it was all so delicious- I also enjoyed the candied yams!! Delicious soul food. And the decor was really nice as well- highly recommended for any of your future catering events.

I ordered from Momma Dees at the last minute. My event was on Wednesday and I ordered on Monday. I ordered a variety of food and people absolutely raved about it. They went back and got seconds and thirds of food and I was close to running out. In the end, it was a great event. I almost didn't make it to my event because my car smelled so good, I didn't want to take it to share with anyone at work. I ordered the garlic salmon, rib tips and jerk chicken (which was some of the best jerk chicken I have even had). I also ordered a variety of sides. I did have to pay extra for the rush order, but that was my fault. Just know if you order at the last minute like I did there will be a charge. Thank you for making my event a HUGE success!!!!

The response time was super fast once I submitted my request. All of our guest raved about our menu options. We enjoyed every bite thank you Momma Dee's!!
