Mike & Mookie's Small Town Diner

Wow, this was amazing! So glad we came off the highway to find this place. Right when we walked in the door, Cooper welcomed us and made us feel right at home. I was going order off the menu, but when my husband got the gumbo off the buffet, I joined him. The barbecue was well smoked and a little bit spicy, just right. I had delicious greens, beans and yams that weren't too sweet and had just a hint of citrus.

Cooper took really good care of us with friendly, attentive service, and checked in to see if we needed anything, napkins, refills on drinks, or plates cleared. He was easy-going and interesting to talk with and made our dinner even more interesting. He's a really good listener and pays attention to details. If he ever decided to get a career in human services, counseling or psychology, he would be highly successful at it!

Next time we'll order off the menu, but tonight we leave with full bellies and big smiles.

My mother and I were looking for a place to eat while in the Mobile area...omg...soul food & seafood was outstanding. The service and hospitality was wonderful! My gumbo was truly EVERYTHING! My mom had the fried swai n shrimp and she loved it. Serving size was nice too.....Buffet was worth it!

10 out of 10! If you want some good home cooking with a ton of flavor this is the place to go! Mike walked us over the the buffet and explained everything that was up there! DO NOT SLEEP ON THE BANANA PUDDING! Start with desert if you have to! That is hands down the best banana pudding I have had in years! And the potatoe salad is TO DIE FOR! Everything on the buffet was hot and juicy like it had just been cooked! The whole place was very clean and everyone was so nice! We will definitely be eating here again very soon!

Truly one of a kind!! We enjoyed the lunch buffet which gives you everything you could want: Ribs, smoked chicken, mac & cheese, collards, fried chicken, cobbler, pie, etc. ALL MADE FROM SCRATCH. Can’t speak highly enough of this hidden gem!! It is well worth it to take the detour from your travels. Guaranteed to leave you full and happy!!😁😁

This place is some of the best home cooking that you can find! I just got the lunch buffet and everything was very good. The fried chicken, and the smoked chicken, we're both so good. For the chicken to be out on any buffet you'd expect maybe a little dryness, nope. Not dry whatsoever and still crispy as if it was just fried. The greens are some of the best I've had outside of my own or my my Nana's. The people there are the nicest and it'll make you feel like you just left your Nana's house. Highly recommend! Even if you're travelling down the interstate, it is not that far off and absolutely worth the stop!
