Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too

We thoroughly enjoyed delicious catering from Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too for a the launch of a new perfume. Little did we know we were in for such a surprise to actually meet the iconic former fashion model Norma Jean Darden, known for her role in "The Battle of Versailles" battle between French and American fashion designers, and subsequent documentary and book prior to founding her restaurant, Miss Mamie’s Spoonbread Too, which catered our event. What really helped our team was the helpful thoughtful discussion we had prior to the event, to be sure our selection would delight guests. The catfish bites, jerk wingettes, deviled eggs, fruit kebobs, and brownies were perfect and delivered with care.

I ordered a delivery, and I'm very impressed. There's quite a few soul food places in the area, but I haven't liked any of them, although they have higher rating. Food is delicious. String beans are tender yet crunchy and garlicky. Potato salad has just right amount of mayo. Beef ribs are saucy but the sauce isn't overpowering. You can still taste the tender meet. Great food overall Oh and they made sure to wrap the to go box with a plastic wrap so the sauce and juices didn't leak through. Thanks!

We went to experience American southern food. Unfortunately, they told us they can't make their signature Gumbo nor Banana Pudding😔 So we ordered a sampling plate. Oil used for deep fried stuff didn't taste fresh. I didn't feel life in food 🙁 Collard green on the side was extremely salty😐. Lastly, they got the order wrong and served us extra sides which we didn't notice until bill came.

This place is the epitome of Southern cuisine best in the entire neighborhood or New York for that matter. If you’re going to judge southern food off of anything, the collar greens, here are the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. I will never be able to experience eating collard greens in any other restaurant or location the same again because they are the top of the pedestal of flavor to compare too. Just blown away buy the food and flavor this small place produces. The staff is wonderful and the speed of the dishes are served quick and hot and with the best smile and vibe you can ask for. I can’t wait to come back!! This is a must experiment NyC location!! Taking the # Number 1 spot for NYC Must Eat locations.

I truly enjoyed the experience I had at Spoonbread! The ice tea was delicious (per the menu!). I was in love with the cornbread hash and candid yams, a surprise treat and flavor that was new and exciting. I had the platter to sample a few sides and the shrimp, ribs and chicken (🙌🙌 - pictured below). The waiter was helpful and appreciate their willingness to let us stay a little late to get a few sides and dessert to go! Also, I thought it was very cute that the staff sang happy birthday to some other guests that were having dinner next to our table.
