    Number ONE in my Book! I would like to say first and foremost, I'm a white. female, retired law…read moreenforcement officer. I visited Big Momma's often before I retired, and occasionally since I retired (trying to not get fat). I am treated with kindness and respect every time I go there. It's a family owned business and they work their tails off! When I go, I always think about getting something other than the fried chicken, but when I go through the line, I start smelling that fried chicken and I see that crispy skin and I mouth just starts watering. They are the best "home cooking" restaurant in Ouachita Parish. It would cost you a fortune to have the same order at Piccadilly. Everything I have had on their menu is delicious. The family/owners always have smile on their faces. I took my brother-in-law from Oregon here when he visited and he talked about it the rest of his life. If you're a local and you haven't been here, GO! If you are visiting the area, you won't find better food in the entire parish if you're looking for home cooking, but be ready for a nap! I just promised my own brother, who has never been there, that I'm taking him ASAP! PS....their dessert are THU BOMB! AND HUGE PORTIONS, one is enough for two people. Their lunch portions are huge as well. I often got an order to go and split it with my mother.

    Want to go back to old-fashioned country cooking? This is your spot!!! You will never walk away…read morehungry and not satisfied. Service is top-notch with that ambiance that makes sense you feel at home

    I wanted a soul food lunch and came here. I was not disappointed. The dining room is spacious so…read moregreat for large groups and work lunches. I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

    FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

    When I YELPED this place I wasn't expecting to find a home style exterior, and was pleasantly…read moresurprised when I went inside. There is a daily menu on the board and you just grab a piece of of parchment paper and a pen and circle your likings. The service is above and beyond friendly and helpful and they showed me dining like a Sunday dinner at my aunt Rosie's when I was going up. I ordered everything I felt I had to try and now that I'm all growned up I don't have to eat it all to leave the table lol I ordered deviled eggs (Amazing) Mac n cheese (sooo good) stewed potatoes (seasoned so perfect) fried pork chops (to die for ) and both desserts banana pudding and pound cake , both are making there way back to my hotel for my snacks . Everything has good taste no salt and pepper needed and the price for all that was reasonable and most definitely worth every dime . I work out here on and off every other two weeks and now found a place that's good down home eating . If you live here and haven't been , shame on you (unless you haven't yelped it yet like I did) and if you do know then you've been back multiple times I'm sure , as I will . It's got enough seating for a small gathering , probably about 12-14 tables of four . I support the little places before the commercial places and this is why!!!

    The service was the only thing good on my last visit. They…read morefilled the call in orders for the local businesses before feeding the customers in the restaurant. So after sitting waiting on our food for over an hour the server offered us something different from what we paid for because they had no more of what we ordered. Yes you pay in advance! The menu says the plates are $11.75 & $14.75 but in actuality the plates are $18+. After they ran out of the beef tips and vegetables i ordered they just brought me what was in the kitchen. Chicken thighs. For someone who doesn't even eat chicken! Oh, they had a problem with me not just taking what they offered me. After 2 hours we left. No apologies, no compensation and not even a return good bye when we said thank you while leaving. This woman will cater to the business around town and treat her black customers like we should be glad just to be in her facility.
