"Owned by Norma Jean Darden, Miss Mamie’s Spoonbread Too is a soul food institution in Harlem known for its warm atmosphere and dishes like its namesake spoonbread. The restaurant reflects a tradition of resilience and resourcefulness, serving as a meeting ground for the community and offering a taste of Southern cuisine that balances flavor with health-conscious choices." - Ty Gaskins
"Located just south of Morningside Park near Columbia University, Miss Mamie’s is a soul food restaurant where you’ll want to try as many things as possible. So come with a group and get a sampler plate, which comes with fried shrimp, chicken, ribs, and three sides. One of those sides should be the collards with smoky ham hocks, and we recommend swapping out the subpar ribs for fried catfish that tastes like it’s encrusted with hushpuppies. If you eat in, there’s lots of seating in the relaxing dining room that has a miniature red piano, and Norma Jean (the owner who opened Miss Mamie’s in 1997) will probably come around and check in during your meal." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, will hartman, willa moore

"Come to Miss Mamie’s and plan to indulge, Southern style. This tiny institution just off Central Park West sports a bright dining room furnished with comfortable wicker chairs, roomy tables and flower arrangements galore. The kitchen embraces such tried-and-true classics as baked turkey wings, homemade meatloaf, Louisiana catfish, Southern-fried chicken sided by candied yams and collard greens, and a creamy red velvet cake for dessert. Grab a fresh-squeezed lemonade and dive into the sampler, stocked with deep-fried shrimp, fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs, fried chicken, and sides of cornbread stuffing and hoppin' John. Desserts are made in house, so a slice of peach cobbler or wedge of sweet potato pie are mandatory." - Michelin Inspector
