Lil Mama’s is a solid place to eat.The juicy j (sweet lemon tea and fruit punch) was INCREDIBLE.The chips with the Parmesan and oil were also unique and tasty. The OG hoagie was a little average.The flavor was solid, but I didn’t think it was anything special or up to the value of a $14 sandwich. I don’t want to sound negative.It’s a good sandwich, it just wasn’t something I would go out of my way to come back and get.I do want to come back and try another sandwich and even the hot dog.The atmosphere was great and the staff were amazing and kind!

We’re so glad you received 5-star service! Sorry the flavors didn’t measure up for you.Definitely try another hoagie next time!
I’m from Chicago and being here in Chatt for 4 years, you miss some food from back home.The Chicago style hot dog and beef! I had these 2 delivered as traffic downtown was not something I felt like dealing with (lol).Delivery was fast and food hot. The hot dog- OMG! So good and hit the spot. The beef- YUM! Tasted just like home. I am not too sure how often I can order as prices are a little high (not complaining, everything is expensive these days) but it was a nice treat to go back home for dinner.Thank you for the authenticity!

So glad we could give you a little taste of home, Lori! 💖 We look forward to serving you again!
My boyfriend and I have been here twice before and I can say that it’s very good… until today.We ordered two juicy j’s and our sandwiches (I asked for bacon, on it, and there was no bacon) she hands us our drinks and as we are drinking the juicy j, I notice my boyfriend has something floating around in his! ITS FLIES!!! I told the lady working the counter and she ran to the back, did NOT apologize and when she came out she stated that it was just one of the drinks that wasn’t fully mixed, which is a LIE.Did not offer a refund.You can see legs and wings.I can’t imagine what the kitchen looks like.I am disgusted and I am disappointed, and I will never be coming back.( We spent $45 for two people)

Hi Anna.This is Kori, the owner of Lil Mama’s.I am so sorry you had a poor experience last Saturday.It does appear that there is a fly in your Juicy Jae, but I assure you it did not come through the drink dispenser.In fact, we broke it down completely after you left and found no sign of any problem.The only thing I can figure is that perhaps a fly got into the ice maker and was scooped into your cup? We have always received 98-100 on our health inspections, so I assure you this is not a normal occurrence.Our kitchen is in fact very clean as well! I understand your experience was upsetting and want to make it right.Your next lunch will be on me!
