You’ll find lines out the door at this popular dive in Downtown Birmingham. Here’s why:

  • Meals are home-cooked and made fresh and from scratch.
  • Ingredients are high quality.
  • There are lots of gluten free options available.

My favorite reason: it’s mmm, mmm, good!

On the menu, you’ll find everything from omelettes and shrimp and grits to pancakes and biscuits.

The winning menu item at Yo Mama’s, though, is the chicken and waffles.
