I was just at Mama Lee's today for lunch and was extremely disappointed. This was not my first time there. It was my 4th time in the past 2 months and this was the first time I was disappointed in my food but it will be the last time I visit this restaurant...especially after reading the other negative reviews. The guy at the cash register can be rude and seems extremely stingy. I picked up a to go order for myself and 2 other co-workers. When I got the food back to work and we started eating all of our mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese were wayyyy toooo salty. It tasted like someone accidentally dropped a salt shaker in it. It was so gross. The mashed pototoes were also runny and didn't seem home cooked as they are claimed to be. Our fried chicken tasted okay but was very dry. One of my coworkers took a bite of his peach cobbler and ended up spitting it out b/c it tasted like straight sugar. I didn't believe him so I tasted it and I ended up spitting it out too. I ordered a piece of sweet potatoe pie that tasted like straight sugar too. Again, this was the first out of four times that I've had bad food but not the first time I've witnessed bad service. I also saw a sign in there today that the waitresses work for tips only. Is that legal and is it legal to add 18 gratuity to your bill? I didn't know that until I read one of the other posts. I was wondering why my bill today was almost $12.00 and I ordered the fried chicken and piece of sweet potatoe pie. That's a little rediculous for lunch. After reading the post about the owner swearing at a military member I will never go back there again. I am in the Air Force stationed at Lackland and everytime I go in there the entire place is filled with nothing but Air Force personnel from Lackland. To treat a member of the Armed Forces whom you get the majority of your business from is uncalled for and unprofessional. I was so pleased at first but am now disgusted and will never go back.
Pros: Sometimes the food is good
Cons: Overpriced & Shady
