Yo’ Mama’s Restaurant has announced its reopening date following an anticipated move.

The popular Birmingham restaurant, a long-time fixture on Second Avenue North, will begin operating at its new location on 2024 Fourth Ave. N. on Monday, Jan. 6.

The restaurant closed at the old location Dec. 21 for Christmas break.

The move came via a deal with the City of Birmingham last year which gave the restaurant a new space and provided a needed tenant for a parking deck.

The City of Birmingham invested $1.3 million to renovate long vacant space on the ground floor of a parking deck directly across from the Harbert Center. The deck was built in 1974 and expanded in 2009 with a retail entrance, but no tenant had been found to develop the space.

The projected cost of renovation was $1.7 million, to which Yo’ Mama’s contributed about $400,000.

Yo’ Mama’s is leasing the space from the Birmingham Parking Authority.

Denise Peterson, who owns Yo’ Mama’s with her daughter Crystal Peterson, offers up brunch and lunch menus of favorites such as chicken and waffles, catfish, hot wings, burgers and sides.
