About Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too
Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too is a soul-food restaurant located at 366 W 110th Street in New York City. The restaurant serves Southern comfort food and soul-food staples made from family recipes, including fried chicken, which the New York Post has praised, on its own or smothered in gravy, as some of the best fried chicken in NYC. Signature dishes include the "Miss Mamie Sampler," a plate of shrimp, short ribs, and chicken that was reportedly a favorite of former President Bill Clinton. The restaurant offers a full menu of Southern classics, seasonal specials, and hosts catering for birthday parties, holiday parties, corporate events, and wedding festivities, as well as parties and group gatherings by inquiry. Reservations are recommended and can be booked directly through the restaurant's website, and online ordering and delivery are available through Grubhub and the restaurant's own ordering platform. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday from 2:30pm to 8:30pm, and is closed on Mondays as well as on New Year's Day, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Martin Luther King Day. Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too can be reached by phone at (212) 865-0700 or by email at [email protected].
Miss Mamie's Spoonbread Too is owned by Norma Jean Darden, a former Wilhelmina model who became a caterer and restaurateur. The restaurant's recipes are drawn from Darden's family history and are based on the cookbook Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine, which she co-wrote with her sister, Carole. According to the restaurant's own site, its clientele has long included students from nearby Columbia University, uptown church congregants, and everyday New Yorkers, alongside notable visitors such as former President Bill Clinton, all of whom the restaurant says feel at home in its inexpensive, comfort-food setting. The restaurant frames itself around the idea that "you don't have to go home for home cooking," positioning itself as a place where family recipes and Southern hospitality recreate the feeling of a home kitchen for a New York City audience. The restaurant has been operating for close to three decades, according to customer reviews featured on its own site, building a reputation in the Harlem neighborhood as a longstanding soul-food institution rooted in Darden family traditions.
