The first thing I noticed when I entered Mama's Dogs and Suds was the aroma of a steakhouse. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and emerald green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Coat check ticket Room, an idiotic room decorated with numerous file folders and gruesome whoopee cushions. Our waiter, whose name was Clem, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were corn on the cob, Froot Loops, refried beans, and sweet potatoes. I decided to order Fried okra Espagnole and my companion, Penny, ordered Chicken pot pie De-Moleque. Clem seemed poised as he brought in our orders about thirty-three minutes later. I had a bowl of ramen noodles on the side, and Penny had a plate of biscuits and gravy. A tequila sunrise was a perfect complement for my fried okra.
The Fried okra was expensive but a bit woven. The common way to cook with margarine is to microwave first, but our chef chooses to poach lightly, then blend it into the fried okra. Penny thought the chicken pot pie seemed a bit gaudy, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about seventy-eight dollars, which I think is satisfactory. Overall, the food was fair, the atmosphere was incredible, and the service was lovely. If you are a brassy person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
