    Crawfish (1 pound)
    Anika B.

    I was looking for some authentic seafood, most importantly, crawfish! And, this place delivered! The special for the crawfish was great! $5.99 (give or take) I thought was great! When they came out, the size of them were exactly what I was looking for. The only drawback was that they didn't come with anything! No potatoes, no corn, no sausage! So, I ordered a side of potatoes. I got two small potatoes, for $2.99! I was super disappointed with getting two little potatoes for that price. But overall the crawfish were great, so I was satisfied. I also saw that they had ice cream and apple pies, which I had to try! I was a little disappointed to see that they were frozen, and not fresh or homemade but none the less, it tasted alright with the vanilla.

    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

    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.
