We've been twice for dinner recently and thought Mama Dip's was pretty good, although overpriced. The Brunswick Stew is good and the barbequed pork is OK, although the 'que is a little mushy and overly dressed with a sweetish red sauce. Macaroni and cheese was good, fried okra was from frozen, fries were undercooked and tasteless, baked apples were great, and the stewed tomato casserole was excellent (although dessert-level sweet). The service has been very good both times, one of which involved a group of six when the dining room was full. The iced tea (unsweetened) was exceptional. The room is cheery and very clean. $11.95 for stew and 'que is high compared to Bullock's, but the restaurant is nicer and so are the servers. $2.95 for a tiny dish of pickles or hushpuppies is kind of silly. Parking is easy if their lot isn't full and there was no wait either evening we went. We will go again, even though the ""tourist tariff"" makes everything 25% more expensive than it would be in a real country place.
Pros: Good country food, good service, clean and cheery
Cons: Overpriced; lots of fat, salt, and sugar
