Mama Tried to raise me better
but her pleading I denied…
that leaves only me to blame
’cause Mama Tried.

Merle Haggard

Mama Tried is a country bar, live music venue and dancehall with two locations: Deep Ellum and Irving, brought to you by successful operator Brooke Humphries (Barcadia, Beauty Bar, It’ll Do, Mudsmith, Pints & Quarts).

Mama Tried isn’t only for country music-loving people…it’s a casual place for anyone ready to dance or just throw back a few beers.

Mama Tried serves a Texas-inspired menu from chef Roe DiLeo, who has been Humphries’ culinary director for about a year. DiLeo is the TV cooking show veteran who was a contestant on Hell’s Kitchen.
