My wife and I are retired so about once a month we like to go out for lunch. When I say "out" I mean somewhere away from our home town of Texarkana, TX. Today we went to Mama Max's Diner in Prescott, AR (about 50 miles away). I looked it up on-line and it looked interesting. We drove over and had fried pork chops with purple hull peas and candied yams (sweet potatoes). We each also had one of her chocolate turtles. Everything was wonderful. The pork chops were done just right, the peas were great and the candied yams were better than my grandma used to make (don't tell her I said that if you see her in heaven before I do!!!) I also want to commend the service. Our waitress was wonderful. Greeted us when we walked in and kept up a humorous conversation the whole time. Very friendly folks. I highly recommend Mama Max's Diner if you like a great homestyle meal. We will be back.
Mama Max is one of the NICEST persons that I've had the pleasure of meeting, and the food is great.
It would be easy to drive right by this place. It looks like a typical small diner in a town that looks like it is suffering from the same recession that is boarding up main street stores in thousands of small towns across America. Don't let the humble building fool you. Inside is a true treasure. Mammas food and especially her desserts are to die for. I had the chicken fried steak with real mashed potatoes, pinto beans and corn bread. for desert I had the icebox lemon pie. My partner had chicken fried chicken, fried okra, candied yams and coconut custard pie. All of it was homestyle perfect. Remined me of my grandmas food. The person below that complained about poor service needs to take into account that ALL the food is made from scratch and what you order will make a difference in how fast it will take to get your food. Some items on the menu specifically say they will take 30 min or more to prepare. This place is great and well woth the stop. I'm even getting the chocolate turtles to go.
