Mammy’s Cupboard – or at least the “building shaped like a lady with a big skirt” called Mammy’s opened in 1940.
BUT it was CLOSED when we drove there to visit on our retro road trip!
For all our planning and experience, we forgot one of the first lessons of any road trip – call to see what the hours are, and if they will be open when you get there. )Mammy’s closes around 2pm in the afternoon.)
Had we not stopped in downtown Natchez for some unexpected sightseeing (like this house for example) we would have made before the 2pm closing at Mammy’s.
So while we may never know how delicious the pies were, or if the ceiling of her skirt is all frilly and lacy like petticoats – learn from our mistake!
Always make sure a place still exists and will be open when you get there. That’s why we give the handy contact info at the end of each Retro Roadmap post, but obvs we don’t follow our own suggestions all the time

Good advice!
They were closed when I stopped by last fall, too. Still a thrill to see such a unique place. By the way, we’ve just returned from a long four-week road trip. We passed through West Chester, Pa. and visited Longwood Gardens with friends. Would have loved to look you up but our time was too limited. Thought of you at RetroRoadmap Headquarters, though!
Gunnar- Glad I’m not the only “Road Scholar” who has missed the opportunity to check out Mammy’s properly! Four weeks! Can’t wait to read all about your Eccentric Road Trip!
Hope you enjoyed your swing through our neck of the woods – Longwood Gardens is supposed to be lovely- Retro Roadhusband and I have been planning on going there forever. I think because it’s relatively close, it always drops to the bottom of the list.
I been by a closed Mammy’s twice. The first was a surprise but I knew it in advance on the next pass. I believe they are regularly closed for some time around Christmas. Got external shots both times, though.
Glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t been able to visit properly!
