Big Mommas Fine Foods - (Near Monroe, LA)

5 /5 Crystal Berrelleza: My husband, grandbaby and myself are running from Hurricane Milton and have been on the road since 4am yesterday. We decided to stop here for lunch because I was craving a home cooked meal and I was not disappointed. The food is outstanding, packed full of flavor and the best things I’ve eaten in a good while. Everyone was super friendly and made sure we got everything we needed. They do have lots of seating inside but I noticed , for this time of day, most came in and got food to go. It’s not a fancy place but it sure makes you feel like you’re visiting family. My husband and I plan to stop back by after dropping our granddaughter off at home in Colorado. When we head back to Florida to see if we still have a home or not. Hurricane due to hit early Thursday morning. Thank you all for a lovely meal and a few mins of no worries as we stuffed our bellies so full that we are now miserable and I’m still eyeballing the cake we got to go.

5 /5 Smiley: The baked chicken and fried chicken was excellent but the ribs were too fatty and had a lot of fat on it. But the atmosphere and the Homey feeling they really make you feel at home and it was very comfortable friendly just all around good environment

5 /5 Deb Holst: If you need some great tasting beef tips or fried chicken and good portioned sides, this is the local place for you. Lets support this local cafe and this group of sweet women! Thanks ladies! Darryl, we will be back.

5 /5 Garner Calhoun: Breaking news: Call for new days and hours! Went in today- Saturday. Again, right at closing. Saw one brother peeling sweet potatoes and another brother cooking pound cakes...for tommorow! Big Mommas is now serving SUNDAY DINNER! And you know its going to be good! Yep! South Mun roe style good! And today, my ribs with potato salad and baked beans were delicious. Another awesome meal from Big Mommas! Original review: Big Mamas has been reviewed by over a thousand customers across several sites and the consensus is the food is simply delicious! And it is. So, because that fact has been established, let me add a few other details. First, the servings are more than ample. I got my late lunch to go and went to the Riverbank across from the OP Courthouse to enjoy it and the view. Had enough to put some aside to share with a friend when I returned to Grambling and hav for a late night snack! Second, the staff is awesome! Driving in from out of town, I arrived almost right at closing, but I didnt see one frown. Fixed me up with a smile! Sent me on my way! I cannot complain! And third, the atmosphere is reminiscent of Eddies on Law Street or Dunbars on Ferret Street in New Orleans. Every sector of the community is represented in its clientele and everybody receives the same greeting, smile, and service. Also, you are never rushed through your meal. In fact, as I was leaving several tables still had customers engaged in conversation. Some relaxed. Some spirited. Some humerous. But because of the spacious dining area, no one is ever in anyone elses way. And last but not least, despite the rising cost of everything in our country, the price for lunch at Big Mamas remains right! Coming into Monroe from the west, traveling east, get off at Jackson exit turning right. Drive on Jackson passing Orange, Apple, Peach and Pear Streets (not necessarily in that order). Get to the light on Plum Street and turn left. Keep left a few yards and you are there. Big Mamas Fine Foods at the corner of Plum and Second. A treat you dont want to miss! Perfect! And I have to admit that these two photos are from the website. Once I tasted my potato salad, I forgot to take pictures! But trust me, that potato salad, home baked roll, and golden fried chicken breast were awesome!
