We stopped for dinner after a long RV travel day that involved a flat tire. Not fun. Hubby suggested Popeyes, being in Louisiana. I decided to check Google for another option and I am so glad I did!
The employees are friendly and respectful. The building is well lit, clean and has a lot of parking. But the food is freaking off the chart!
I started with a small bowl of gumbo because, why not? I’m a gumbo snob and it was perfection. The okra was fried and seasoned just right. We ate them all! The chicken is large, meaty, crispy and seasoned so well, but not greasy! And then there’s the biscuits. I’m pretty I’ve never felt the need to take a picture of a BISCUIT but that’s exactly what happened. I hope you can see the flaking, dense, buttery sensation that they’ve created! We took a dozen to-go for our RV trip.
Now, when we are visiting family in Baton Rouge, from Dallas, we will be making a point to stop here for a meal. Hubby and I both made a point to share how wonderful it was with the counter staff. I’m not sure reviews even do it justice. You’ve simply got to try it for yourself!

Last night was me and my family first time trying mamas and it was good we had the fried fish, fries, rolls, chicken (8pc dark), Mac n cheese, mashed potato, and 3 chocolate chip cookies. I love that they have a variety of different kinds of foods!!! I will most definitely be going back I rate them a 11/10

There’s something special about an eatery serving food that tastes like it’s from your own kitchen. The chicken, red beans, rice dressing, and shrimp served hot and tasty just blew us away. We can’t wait to drop in again. The hospitable, patient staff is also a big plus. Thanks Mama’s. We will be back, even though it’s a 40-minute drive

We just stopped here having never been while driving from Dallas to NO. SO HAPPY WE STOPPED!!! The shrimp was perfectly fried, the chicken was juicy and so flavorful, all with a slight kick. The ladies were friendly and helped me decide on the mashed potato fried shrimp bowl. OH. MY. Thank you for a wonderful option to the regular fast food stops on a road trip. Mm!

I’ve been hearing so much about this place had to stop by when I got the chance. Ordered the chicken, of course, with red beans and rice with a lemonade. While waiting I see they have seasoning for sale on the back wall. I thought of this might be good, special seasoning……. Get my food. Open the red beans and thought well it’s a bunch of rice with a little red beans on top. I prefer it to be more 50/50. I don’t appreciate any kind of rice n gravy or beans that when you mix it you still have mostly white rice. Why give me all of this rice if you can’t cover it thoroughly with the added product when mixed. Sadly this happen because the red beans where actually pretty good. Seasoned very well and has some nice smokey sausage. I would have loved it if there were more beans so as the rice swallowed up all of the creamy texture. But I’m here for the chicken and after the flavor explosion of the beans, now I’m looking forward to the chicken. Highly disappointing, they should use some of the seasoning they sell on the chicken they cook. It was just bland almost flavorless fried chicken. It was cooked well, very juicy. But how do you go from beans with a bang to flavorless chicken. Those biscuits were amazing! Huge! A moist biscuit too, yummy. The lemonade was fantastic! The service was pretty good. But season that chicken or something.

I have eaten there many times. Everything delicious always. I have never had a hamburger there and I have to say for $5.19 a large hamburger with double meat patties is a steal. I sure wish I lived closer cause I would eat that more often. I don’t normally eat beef unless it’s a certain kind but this was a very good burger
Their rice dressing is great and fried chicken great as well. Their gumbo is good as well. Give them a try you should have no regrets.

I’ve eaten fried chicken all over the world from New Zealand to The Caribbean & from the East to West Coast & let me tell you nothing beats their Biscuits & Fried . But if you really want a great meal I highly recommend A small liver& Gizzards mix with rice Dressing it comes with a biscuit and that it’s self is enough for a meal never mind the rest. Now. If you are not a fan of organ meats trust me one bite & that’s all you’re ever going to want. I’ve been eating at Mom’s since 1983!! & I hope to still be eating for the next 30 or so years.
