Doesn’t get more down home cooking than this! Most flavorful tender ribs I’ve had in along time. Honey child when I tell you the Mac and cheese took me back down memory lane to sitting at Mama’s kitchen table. Thank yall for an amazing lunch. This spot is definitely a most stop !

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.

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

I had the wet ribs, cat fish, cole slaw and strawberry cake. We went there because a friend wanted cornbread and it was awesome!!!. The hot water cornbread and everything on my plate was delicious. Their coleslaw was the best! The service was great and the people made us feel like we were with Southern friends!

We were traveling through Monroe on our way to Tucson. We googled best places to eat in Monroe. Big Mommas fine food came up and got such good reviews we decide to give it a try. All I can say is WOW!! We had the fried chicken with 3 sides. Between the two of us we got mashed potatoes with gravy (delicious homemade gravy), black eye peas, Mac n cheese, green beans, red beans and sausage and homemade rolls. The food was delicious!!! The portions are large enough that we have enough for supper. If you’re looking for delicious home cooking this is your place. The staff was very warm and friendly as were the customers.

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 it’s 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 didn’t 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 else’s way. And last but not least, despite the rising cost of everything in our country, the price for lunch at Big Mama’s 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 don’t 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!

Wowza. Talk about the prime example of Southern Down Home Cooking, Big Momma’s is it. The smell of yumminess hits you as you approach the door. 15 people waiting online patiently with stomachs growling as the Cafeteria Style Hot Plate line crept forward. I hated that I couldn’t have one of each. I opted for Liver and Onions with Gravy and Rice. Corn and red beans. Dont forget the Hot Water Cornbread. Everything was great and I am looking forward to my next culinary adventure there.
