It was fairly busy but the food came out pretty quick. I got PawPaws breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit) . The biscuit and potatoes were the best part. Honestly delicious. The eggs were a little wet for my liking. They have 4 pieces of bacon which I appreciate. Overall , a decent breakfast

The food here is reasona ly proced but more than that, the burgers are delicious! Perfectly cooked, hearty and flavorful burgers are the stars here, but the sides like the Onion rings hold their own too. If you do not arrive here early during lunch time, you can expect a.wait. The inside seating is not very abundant and it fills up daily quickly. If you enjoy a really good home style burger, you should definitely give Va nahs a try!

I'd recommend having all the fixings - then - adding on their magic gravy. The lightly toasted French bread could not have been tastier. Maybe the best I've ever had. Light and airy. You only need a half sandwich. Their fries were homemade and flavorful. Again, I recommend gravy on the fries.. their green beans also very good. Service was warm and hospitable. Can't wait to return.

Large menu on the wall greets you.. staff were friendly and helpful. They take orders as you enter, give you a receipt and you're free to sit where you like. We ordered a large grilled shrimp salad and a Coney dog. Both came fairly quickly. Our orders were the large number on the top of our receipt, therefore so not throw away your receipt. My warm salad was actually really good. I was expecting cool grilled shrimp but it seems they grill when ordered. Very generous with shrimp. Yum The Coney dog was delicious, warm, saucy and very satisfying.

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.

Good Lord what a great place!…read more Hubby & I rolled in here needing some strong Cuban coffees to go! Score!!! Walking in, the place looks brand new, totally adorable & smelled so good we decided to hang around & stuff our faces while we were there with whatever they were cooking! Yeah! Lol We got their signature coconut cream seafood soup with the giant crab & the beef tacos, which are suppose to be their most popular dish. YUM! We have not stopped talking about this hidden jewel since we got back home! :)... The seafood soup was 2.die4! Hubby & I ate the whole thing. Then we fought over the tacos! Hand crafted tortillas from their own dough. Succulent tender quality beef seasoned to perfection then topped with super fresh cilantro & avocado. I never eat beef tacos but these? These have stolen my heart :).. They come with a red & green salsa. Warning: The red sauce is very very very HOT. I mean it's VERY SPICY. My whole face was burning for the remaining 5 hours drive home. Use sparingly or prepare yourself for torture lol The Cuban coffee with milk was delightful. Hubby drank them both. Good times ;) We are already planning our next trip back here! We can't wait to return! Highly recommend :)'

They gave me mushrooms in my skillet when I ordered it without it. The second time I gave it a benefit of a doubt was bad as well.

I do not want to order anything from here anymore due to that, but have good staff in other areas besides the kitchen.
