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.

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.

We lucked out as this place is only open on Sundays and it happend to be Sunday. We stopped in for…read morea late lunch about 1:30 and we're given a nice welcome. We were told there were only a few items left as they had sold out of other stuff. We got the smoothered pork chop, two scoops of rice with the pork chop gravy on top, and a scoop of cooked cabbage. The meal also included a roll similar to a kings Hawaiian, a slice of cornbread, a slice of cinnamon cake, and a choice of drink which was koolaide or bottle water (since I am diabetic We went with water), also a side of hot sauce and small container of cranberry sauce.The man and I shared the plate and it was enough for the two of us or easily one really hungry person. The pork chop was so tender we didn't need a knife and the gravy was so flavorful. The rice was lightly seasoned and I appreciated the gravy on it (next time I will ask for extra gravy). The cornbread was sweet and the roll was soft. I loved the cabbage it was soft and had a sweet flavor to it. Overall I can't wait to go back and try more things on Sundays. The meal was about $14 and some change and that included a 3% credit card charge which was fine.

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

They normally give a meat over rice and gravy with two sides along with hot water cornbread and cake! Today they had no cake and for the fried chicken I received two of the smallest wings after waiting 39 minutes for them to fry some! Then had the nerve to charge full price for a plate!! I was hungry so I paid, I called afterwards just to tell them the food was bland and the woman was not pleased with me! She informed me, "Well what do you want me to do about it, that's your prerogative." I then hung up and all I could do was laugh. I also will not be back there unless the usual cooks and staff are there! And I didn't even finish the food. It was that bad!
