Natchez, Mississippi - Mammy's Cupboard

We drive by Mammy's Cupboard on a regular basis. The restaurant inside is excellent. I recommend the Blueberry Lemonade -- even my husband, who hates blue berries, loves it. Often, if we time our trip right, we stop in for a lemonade and pie (all homemade of course).

If you like good home cooking, it's a great stop but beware it is usually busy! You may share a table and make some new friends. My oldest son loves to look for her, every time! Sometimes, we just carry-out our pie and drink. [Connie A, 08/30/2006]

Mocha Mammy. Natchez, Mississippi - Mammy - Not Painted White

The reports were wrong. Mammy is a mocha color! I took a swing by Natchez this week from Florida and the mega mammy is far from "lily white". I zoomed in on her face for confirmation. Under her dress is a gift shop with a restaurant located in back. A women at the tourist information center swore (in her deepest southern accent) it was the best food in town. A smaller and more dark skinned mammy sign in the parking lists hours and gift ideas. Mammy's Cupboard is closed on Sunday and Monday and is still run by the Gaude family.

Natchez, Mississippi - Mammy's Kitchen

Some sad news about everyone's favorite politically incorrect black woman-shaped restaurant. I made the trip to Natchez last week and Mammy's been painted lily-white. I guess the PC thugs finally got her. [Vincent Twice, 07/01/2001]

[RA: A photo submitted by Steve ("Back on Tack") debunks this tip -- sort of. She's now painted a mild mocha.]

Natchez, Mississippi - Black woman-shaped Building

I stopped last year at the restaurant in Natchez that is shaped like a very large black woman. It is called Mammy's and you eat in the skirt. It's a must see in Natchez. Much more fun than the stuffy antebellum mansions and better food. If you have a party of 2-3 they seat you at a larger table with another group of 2-3. Leads to great conversations.
