This place has most excellent vibes. Wall art that feels authentic, not procured by some corporate restaurateur. Great tunes. A menu that is simple but feels truly domestic and comforting. Fantastic, endearing alternative to the “trendy” soul food nearby. Worth the stop, especially for their Sweet Tea.

Great food for very reasonable price! I loved the meatloaf and yams especially. My friend from Europe also enjoyed his plate. A great place to show him a part of US culture outside of the touristy part of NYC.

Small Bed-Stuy eatery w homey atmosphere. Had breakfast, 2 pieces of fried catfish, grits and scrambled egg w cheddar cheese. Everything was delicious! Ate everything and felt satiated for hours. Caught the itis and laid down for a couple hours afterwards. The banana pudding, a nice heap for $6 is so flavorful and fresh! One of the best I have ever tasted! The place is always packed and the wait for take out food is longer than most, but the meal is worth it. Everything must be made fresh daily because they run out of choices of sides by 12 pm. Ordered pork chop dinners w 2 sides, yams and Mac, that I ate later that evening. I thought the pork chop would be smothered, but it was fried. It was ok, but I think I'll stick with the catfish. Not everyone can cook it and they cook it to perfection!

The food I ordered wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. I was a bit disappointed to be honest. I definitely will not order this combination again. The turkey wings were dry and could use a bit more seasoning, the salmon croquettes were salty and the collard greens were bland. I did love the decor. The restaurant is super cute and homely. If the food was better I would definitely recommend Ma-n-Pop for a cute lunch date or I would suggest to try another menu item.

I had a mixed bag experience. The service was great - very friendly and kind. The wait for the food was pretty long (and even longer for a man who called ahead for food). The two dine in chairs were both broken. The pork chop dinner (with mashed potatoes, yams, and cornbread) was alright but not necessarily great. They DO accept credit cards (despite a cash only sign). I would be curious to try their breakfast selections.

Their prices and portions are definitely worth it. But unfortunately I was a little disappointed with their mac n cheese. Some other reviews about it had me a little excited. I also had the chopped chicken which had lots of flavor. I would like to go back again some time and try other items on their menu.

This place was actually really small in person • There was no restroom and only about 5 tables. Also for breakfast options past a certain time there is an extra charge . As for the food, it honestly wasn't the greatest . The Mac and cheese was kind of like crumbled cheese with pasta noodles. The pancakes were pretty good but I believe they weren't fully cooked. The aesthetic was very cute but I honestly do not see myself coming here again.

Whoever is back there making the Mac and cheese needs to be SHOT!!! I ordered a fried chicken dinner and the sides were HORRIBLE.The mac and cheese was literally some of the worst I've tasted it was greasy and dry at the same time how that's even possible I have no clue..... and the Collard greens tasted like they were cooked in water with no other Seasonings besides the smoked meat. The only thing that saved the plate was the fried chicken and that's unfortunate. I will not be spending my hard earned money here again.STEP IT UP MA AND POP

Too expensive the ribs was very fatty with no flavor definitely wasn’t worth the price Collards was dry the only thing I enjoyed was the yams no gravy ! Very disappointing I ordered two rib plates one with collards and yams the other with Mac a cheese a cabbage $20.00 a plate I spent $ 40 a sum change ! Love the decor

Food is usually so good but today I found two long black hairs in a plate I ordered from uber eats. Ruins the entire meal to be honest. Restaurants should be more strict about hair nets.

I hardly ever leave reviews, but my visit to "Ma n Pop" left me no choice. I'm being totally honest here, not because the food was any good. It was so awful, I feel like I need to warn others. I ended up apologizing to my girlfriend dozens of times for taking her there. This place seems more focused on looks than on the food they're serving. People have been raving about their "Mac and Cheese," but I'm convinced they've never actually eaten here. Trust me, the photos shared by others online don't lie—it's a disgrace. Don't be tricked by the high ratings like I was. It's all about appearance, not the actual food. They're not willing to improve what they're serving, and that's just crazy. I wish I'd taken a photo of my meal to show just how bad it was. Honestly, anything from the frozen section of a grocery store would taste better. My girlfriend and I felt sick after eating here I had the catfish dinner with Mac n Cheese and potato salad. Why did I do this to myself? The catfish was passable, but the potato salad tasted off, and the Mac and Cheese was basically just mac—no cheese. How can a soul food place mess up Mac and Cheese this badly? My girlfriend's dish wasn't any better. The gravy was watery and looked like diarrhea on a plate, and it tasted bland, as if it came from a can. A Hungry Man meal tastes better. We've shown pictures of our meals to others, and they were just as appalled. The whole experience was a letdown, especially since we had been looking forward to trying this place. It's disheartening to see a restaurant, particularly one that's Black-owned, mislead people like this. Those fake reviews are a disservice to everyone.Lastly, the photos I'll share are from other people. Look at them and tell me, does this look appetizing to you? Serving food like this should be embarrassing. Writing this review doesn't make me feel any better; it's just the harsh reality. There's a special place in hell for people who write fake reviews. This is supposed to be a soul food restaurant, but there's no soul to be found here. The service was okay, nothing special. But I won't be coming back. Ever. To Ma-n-Pop, the food should speak for itself. You don't have to lie about your reviews. If it's good, people will naturally talk about it and spread the word. The food is the most important thing, then comes the culture and reviews of the restaurant. The food is the foundation, and if it’s good, it will stand on its own.
