Ordered the fish sandwich–immediately recommended to my close group of people. Plenty of fish for the price. The crisp of both the fish and fries were perfect: crunchy and not greasy. The seasoning was bomb.

Mama T been serving bomb food for years. Nothing has changed regarding the quality of her food. Always excellent, always made to order and fresh. I will always support her and her family business. A class act.

Fast / casual eatery – everything is made to order. I had to wait 12 minutes after paying for a fish basket; another customer had ordered food just ahead of me, which could explain some of the wait time.
Mama T. stated 75% of her sales are their famous fish sandwich. Even though I ordered just after 4pm, they had run out of buns so I was unable to try it.
The farm raised Basa fish was crispy on the outside, yet hot and tender on the inside. The portion was plentiful.
Thick Fries had a light seasoning added to them.
To help keep the order warm, pieces of paper were placed on the top and bottom of the cardboard basket containing my order; the food was then put in a plastic bag for takeout.
The only place you can eat your order onsite is on the shelf / barstools out front. As far as I can tell, there is no restroom available for customers.

First time eating the infamous Mama T’s and I was totally disappointed. The food was seasoned, too much seasoning nice portions, but the fish was fried a little too hard for my taste and was rubbery! Paid a little over $40 for two fish sandwiches with fries. When I asked for hot sauce, she said 50 cent- I explained I didn’t have cash and had just paid $20 per sandwich. This lady snapped and said I charge my price ! I’ll never go back! Overrated !

Walked down to this little spot from our hotel feeling hungry and Mama T delivered. The Famous Fish Sandwich (pictured) is easily my new favorite fish sandwich. My boyfriend got the Famous Chicken and we just can’t decide which is better. Will be returning next time we are in town!

Mama T’s Oakland is a hidden gem! It may be small in size, but it’s big on flavor with portion sizes that won’t leave you hungry. The prices are affordable, and the Basa fish is absolutely delicious! The charm of this place is matched by the warmth of the owner, Mama T, who treats every customer like family. Definitely my new go-to spot.

Mama T’s cookin’ is a gift✨ her prices are right, and the energy is always love. She cooks to order, it’s always fresh. Get the little sweet potato pie she makes… So good and my fav is the fish sandwich. It’s worth every penny.

Tiny little shop that specializes in quick bites like burgers, sandwiches, and fried foods. I keep coming back for the “Famous Fish Sandwich” – a crispy southern-style fried fish filet battered with cornmeal. The sandwiches have always been made fresh, and the prices are very good compared to other shops within the area.
