We stopped in today for lunch because we wanted some good home cooking, not fast food. We both got the daily special—hamburger steak with mashed potatoes & gravy (sides of green beans/broccoli). Everything was cooked fresh, hot, & tasted great! Will definitely return!

Absolutely delicious! The food tasted homemade with so much love and flavor in every bite. The presentation was beautiful — you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The service was exceptional, friendly, and made the whole experience feel warm and personal. A true hidden gem for anyone who loves real home-cooked meals!

Really enjoyed our stop at Big Js! The hamburger (we added bacon & pepper jack cheese) was fantastic. We sat outside & enjoyed the perfect weather. Service was good too. What’s not to love?!1

Food was a mixture of good and bad leaning more to the side of bad. Service is not well executed at all. Overall would not recommend people eat here based off my experience.
Food:
Red beans and rice: the red beans and rice were actually decent. They did not have a lot of sausage in them but that was fine as the flavor of the dish itself outweighed the lack of meat. Would absolutely recommend. 5/5
Catfish: Catfish was good, although the size of the fillers were a little small, which is the only reason it didn’t get a perfect score. 4/5
Shrimp: This is where is got bad. The shrimp was rubbery, was not purged and was not de-veined. It looks nothing like the other photos of the shrimp that we had seen. 1/5
Shrimp Puffs: There were a couple of shrimp puffs that were just Puffs. No shrimp ever made it inside them. 1/5
Shrimp and corn soup: This tasted horrible. Tasted like it came straight from a can and was just mixed up and heated. 1/5
Service:
Friendliness: Staff were friendly enough. 3/5
Attentiveness: waitress was very inattentive even though the place was so small. I think it was her first job so giving the benefit of the doubt. 1/5
Cleanliness: We were sat at a dirty table. Enough said. 1/5
Overall I would not recommend the place.

Had the fried fish and shrimp. The fish was good. The shrimp should be removed from the menu. The shrimp were very small and had almost no meal on them.

This is a place we stumbled upon by accident driving home from an appointment in Alexandria. We had to make a return trip 2 days later and made this restaurant a stop for the return trip home. Definitely worth it. VERY CLEAN!!! Friendly workers and the food is on point. So glad we went and we will be going back. Catfish, shrimp, fries, salad, hushpuppies, slaw perfect for Catholics who don’t eat meat on Friday’s year round. Discount for 1st responders & military
