Birmingham-Born, Family-Built, and Full of Flavor

Mama’ Nem Southern Kitchen was created by Chris Hollaman, a Rising-West Princeton native who wanted to bring something special back to the neighborhood he calls home. His vision? A warm, welcoming space where folks can grab a hot breakfast in the morning, a soul-satisfying dinner at night, and a cocktail with friends in between. Here, good food meets real connection—and every visit feels like pulling up a chair at the family table.
