This family-owned and operated eatery first opened its doors back in 1977 and over the years they’ve expanded and grown to become “the place to be” for a good old-fashioned Southern comfort meal.
First of all, Mama Hamil’s is HUGE.

You don’t see a two-story buffet restaurant every day! As you can see, there is plenty of seating to go around...but just know that this is a very popular restaurant, so you may want to avoid peak times if you want to escape the crowds.
Whether you dine here for lunch or dinner, just make sure you come hungry.
