Mama T's Oakland

Seasoned. The word is seasoned. I rolled by over here and I noticed that I did see her on TikTok/Instagram so on my way back home I decided to have some lunch there. I came for one thing and one thing only and it was the famous fish sandwich with fries took about 15 minutes I went home And i devoured that sandwich I love that they use cornmeal and it seasoned I'm not 100% sure what kind of fish it was but it wasn't dry. I got mine with everything so everything tasted fresh and it was seasoned. The fries were seasoned.Lovely customer service.

We came during the afternoon break and did have to wait till 3pm to order. The restaurant is pretty small with a couple seats outside, but the logo is easy to notice as you're walking down the block.It took about 10 minutes for our food to come out. We decided to try the famous fish sandwich which also comes with a generous portion of seasoned fries. For the price of $13, this was definitely worth it! The fish itself has a delicious outer crust (corn meal?) that reminds me of fried food in the South and is not dried out at all. The flavors are amazing and the fries were nicely seasoned, hot and crispy. Everything came out fresh to order. I highly recommend coming here and trying Mama T's delicious food!

This place deserves to be a tourist hotspot based upon food quality and reheatability alone. I am from out of town but grew up on soul food so this was truly within my palette. We picked up our catfish sandwich, chicken sandwich, and hot link 4 hours before actually consuming them and oh my god?!? The crispiness was still intact, the flavor was incredible, and the food wasn't dry/tough despite all of the steam for the amount of time. I will 100% be returning before I go back to SoCal. Don't forget to get the caramel banana pudding (don't be scared, it's not super sweet, but the perfect ending to a fantastic meal).

This is a spot that sadly, I missed for the last several years that I've been in the Bay Area. I patronize this area often and had no idea it was on the same block as Make Westing. They've been here far longer than I've lived here, but I found out about it when a documentary for Too Short was being filmed in the downtown-ish area between Telegraph and San Pablo ave. It was on the news regarding the filming and I had to try. It's a small, to go spot. The fish sandwich is full of flavor. It can easily be described as cajun spice and everything nice. It's actually been a while since I've visited but I definitely remember it's good and I'd go back. I do think they close early though - maybe around 4:00pm.

OMG! The Famous Fish Sandwich reminds you of the ones from back in the day at the Black Muslim Bakery. If you know, you know!! Definitely run, don't walk to Mama T's, you won't be disappointed!

The place is small, metered parking and it's limited. You must order to go, there's no seating. The service was good, maybe son and mom/aunt they were nice, greeted us right away and was patient with us being that it was our first time here. We ordered the chicken famous fish sandwich that came with Cajun seasoned fries and a can soda, we paid about $37 for two meals. The fish sandwich was DELICIOUS and the fries were good and different!!! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!!! The wait wasn't long about 15 mins but that fish sandwich was super good flavor nice crunch go get you one!!! Oh and Black owned!!!

So glad we happened to be getting drinks at EBXO (Everything But Hugs N Kisses) right next door to this place. It's a small kitchen packing up some heat! Affordable too!Their fish sandwich is bomb and hella generous. Fish is thick and moist. The potato salad (it was a special that day) was bursting with flavor. Maybe a little too much pickle or dill flavor but still hella good. Me and my friend halved a sando and immediately regretted not having our own afterwards. LOL! Had to order another one to take home too. We'll definitely be coming back!

Just tried the fish sandwich. Absolutely delicious and I will definitely be back soon. The wait was about 15 minutes so I waited in the car for it to be prepared before returning to pick it up.Pro Tip: The interior of the restaurant is small, so I think most people who do not work in the area will have to wait elsewhere for the food to be prepared.

So... gave Mama T's another try but arrived when she opened this time. Everything was perfection!Better experience 2nd time. The fish sandwich is obsessive!

ORDER THE PARTY WINGS!! NOW! I would recommend this place. Cute small locally owned business on Telegraph with a simple menu. I got two orders of the fish sandwich with potato salad on the side, one order of party wings with fries on the side, and a hotlink with a salad. Wings were /10, best wings i've ever consumed. They were battered and fried and the buffalo sauce came on the side. Fish sandwiches were great and the HOT link was yummy and spicy, fries were alright and I really didn't like the potato salad. We weren't given the salad. We arrived at 2:25 pm and when I went in to the open-doored restaurant the workers told me they'd be on break until 3. I arrive at 3, walk in and get told they are on break until 3:15 and the door was closed and locked behind me. I queued in line with 7 people until 3:30 when I ordered, my food took about 30minutes to make. ‍ The wait time for food was reasonable for the orders ahead of me and my order size. I found the unclear timing annoying, but I had time to wait and the food made up for it. When I ordered and picked up my food, I was graciously thanked for waiting, the hospitality is great!Definitely come here! Just know it might not be a grab and go experience
