This is a nice southern style restaurant with down-home cooking. We ordered the special, which was fried chicken, a cup of gumbo, and a side of potato salad. The fried chicken was really good. It was seasoned nicely. The gumbo was okay. It lacked seasoning, but I added some salt, and it was okay.
I enjoyed going outside on the deck to see the fish, turtles, and an alligator swimming around in the Bayou.
The customer service was good too, despite it being really busy. I would definitely come back here!

I’m from Washington state and just passing through for work and was referred to this place. I showed up around three and noticed they were closed and opened at 5. I had nothing but time to wait. Well the owner was walking by and saw me waiting and they had let me in before they opened to eat and treated me Like family.! I will be back! And I strongly recommend this place even if you are in northern Louisiana it would be worth the drive! Thank you for very much for my first authentic Cajun dinner!!

A ‘Just-right’ sized diner. I counted twelve tables and there may be counter-top seating as well. I’ve rarely had a better baked potato. Restrooms are very clean, all modern, decor is very much homey. Waitstaff are friendly and on-point. Can’t wait to get back here to try more of the menu.

I had the seafood platter with soft shell crab which had a cup of seafood gumbo. All of it was cooked to my liking. I had the crab cut in half before frying. It is a small place and fills up fast around dinnertime.
The close quarters is why the 4 star.

I have travelled 63 countries. This is without question, the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. I don’t have photos. I always get side tracked and gobble it up! The Griaads come with diplomas. I had them put mine on a salad with their house dressing. Then I get the Cajun Tart custard pie on my way home from Cajun Pecan House…. My Lord. Nothing in the world could come close. If Heaven were a food, you would find it here.

Mommie Jo’s is one of the best places to eat on the bayou, bar none. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the good is great. Their seafood baked potato is only $5.50, and it is wonderful – huge and filling. Steak night is on Wednesday night, and the steaks are big enough so that two people can dine off of one order. Great place!

When you walk in you can tell this spot is for locals. Everyone seemed to know each other. I didn’t get the fried chicken but most everyone else did and I wish I had. Friendly service, but the food was a little slow to come out. I had the grilled shrimp plate and it had a nice flavor but the shrimp were slightly over cooked.

Mommies Jo’s staff has always been friendly and hospitable each time I’ve stopped by to eat. Their location is right on the water, so keeping an eye out for the alligators was fun while my friends and I enjoyed our meals.
