Stay classy Big Momma's! If this place was zoned in a high property value, half of the west side would suffer from smothered cabbage depression syndrome. Big Momma's is no joke and neither is her food. Here are my notes: 1. John's review hit it on the head. Enjoy your food John. 2. Christina's review is exactly what I expect from a Houston girl. She would get upset if I told her Carolina style bbq is better than Texas' what-have-ya down there. She likes her local grubs and she hates on the rest. "Hate..hate..hate..." 3. If the ride was not so far, I would probably get a side of smothered cabbage on a daily basis. Stuff is simply incredible. 4. Is there a Soul Food Association? This place needs a ribbon or a medal. Thanks for feeding me Big Momma's!!

WARNING: This food made me crap my pants! If you eat healthy food on a regular basis DO NOT eat this food. Here's the deal. When I was out here from California I googled "soul food" because I figured I could get the real deal, and I have no doubt that this food is indeed the real deal of soul food. However, I did not know it would pass right through me and end up in my pants. I got the greens, mac & cheese, chicken, and banana pudding. So when I got down to the bottom of the greens there was a nasty chunk of fat that I am guessing was used to flavor the greens. All of the food was saturated in fat. I guess that's why Momma is big? So, after growing up and living off organic, raw, food that is never friend or processed, this meal was a nightmare for me. I went to bed and woke up from crapping my pants in my sleep. No joke!!! And my gut felt rotten inside!!! Big Momma!!!! Look what you did to me!!!! There are lots of nice country folk that hang out here. I think church just got out when I was getting my food. I was the only cracker there, and they were all so nice to my yankee white ass. The people who were lining up for food, and the people serving it up were so nice and friendly, but the food had the effects of Satan's wrath on my digestive system. Needless to say my pants went in the trash...

I asked, "soul food?" and many repeatedly recommended, "Big Momma's", a long time Westend favorite. If my arms are just a bit longer, I can literally touch the entrance door and the order counter at the same time. The place is tiny, the menus are posted at the top. Each day has a separate menu, with fried chicken offered almost everyday. Main entrees vary slightly each day between salmon croquet, ribs, baked chicken, smothered porkchops, fried fish, etc. Lots of traditional side dishes to choose from as you get 2 with each entree. My fried chicken was fresh and delicious, I got at least 4 large pieces of wings and thighs. Mashed potatoes was salty but I enjoyed my cabbage cooked with pork. I ordered sweet ice tea and unexpectedly got a small jug of the best ice tea I've had in a while. My lunchmates did not enjoy their baked chicken as it wasn't flavored well but they are willing to come back for a second try. I would normally give this a 3.5 for food but I like its charm, location and comfort . Definitely give it a try if you're in the area!

Finally made it over there one Saturday. I got in the line and it was a big crowd but everyone was friendly. Enjoyed my fried chicken, mac and cheese, greens and cornbread. As other reviews have said, it is carry out. Some rude young man parked behind me so beware the tiny parking lot. He took forever to come out and ignored my glare. Anyway, I will go again and maybe try the cabbage. Everyone kept ordering it. Also will park on street!

My heart always smile when I can make it in on a Friday to get and order of salmon croquettes. I make sure to order macaroni & cheese and fried potatoes & onions to accompany the salmon. On Sundays, I always make sure to order the stuffed chicken breast, (stuffed with cornbread dressing), greens, Mac & cheese and sweet potatoes. The fried fish, barbecued ribs and fried chicken are also top notch! Big Momma's is highly recommended for your Soul Food cravings!

If you're in the mood for soul food, then this is your place to go. I make the trip out to Big Mommas about once a month to get my soul food fix. This is good ol unpretentious food. Stuff mama makes. Big Mommas is open Wednesday thru Sunday and the menu rotates daily. Dinners (main course, two sides, and cornbread) will set you back around 7 or 8 bucks. And for that 7 or 8 bucks you get your money's worth. When you pick up the to-go container your food comes in it feels like there is a brick in there. I struggle to finish all of the food you get and I am a hardy eater. Some of my favorite main courses are the oxtails (Thursdays), the smothered pork chops (everyday), rib tips with sauerkraut (Wednesdays), and the fried catfish (Fridays). As far as the sides go, like everyone else has said, the cabbage (served everyday) is legit. If you like cabbage and don't get it you're out of your mind. The mac & cheese (served everyday) and the okra & lima beans (Thursdays) are note worthy and worth checking out.

I love that places like this still exist --no website, no advertising, not even a sign out front. If you are from out of town, you end up here on the strength of a local's recommendation (perhaps issued with a subtle, good natured, but completely unnecessary, insistence that the neighborhood and its denizens are "really OK" --this is, still, The South you realize). It's just a concrete shack and a parking lot. Outside, a guy is pumping dirty south r 'n' b and selling mix CD's out of the bed of his pickup truck. Inside, the place is crammed full of people waiting for the young lady to hand them a sack full of Soul Food. You stand in line --which is more like a milling crowd, but it works perfectly. There's a menu on the wall. You eye your food behind a glass partition, where the day's offerings are scooped from trays and placed into Styrofoam to-go boxes. There are two 1970's-vintage microphones (just like the ones they had on The Price Is Right) sticking out of the glass partitions. When it's your turn, you speak your order into one of the mics. There's signs all over the place spelling out exactly how to do this (nb: you may *not* be on your cell phone while ordering). Dinners (main course, two sides and cornbread) run about seven or eight bucks. All listed prices for dinners include tax and are in whole dollars, to make the transaction as smooth as possible. They also take credit/debit cards, apparently a new development, according to one of the signs. When your order is ready, you pay the young lady. Stick a dollar in the tip jar, and spend another buck on a bottled water. Sweet tea and slushies are also available. If you want a soda pop, there's a machine out front for that. Big Momma's is take-out only, but there's a nice park across the street. I got the catfish fillet, with cornbread, mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. That catfish and the mac cheese were among the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of catfish and mac n cheese. Yes, the ambiance of the place influences the flavor of the food you're having. That's probably true of every restaurant, but rarely as obviously as at Big Momma's. Other offerings when I visited included meatloaf, salmon croquettes, smothered pork chops, BBQ rib tips and fried chicken. I note from another online source that Big Momma gives out free meals on Christmas Day, because everyone deserves a hot meal served with love on Christmas. Don't ever change, Big Momma.

Best soul food place Louisville but it is take out only.

I have wanted to experience Big Momma's soul food for years, and finally made the trip there today. The drive from the East End was easy, and the area around Big Momma's is beautiful, passing Chickasaw Park on the way, and with Shawnee Park right across from her place. I got there today at 12:20 PM, 20 minutes after she opened, and I had zero wait. My friend and I ordered, and people started coming in to get their orders in. I ordered two entrees, knowing I would have leftovers, and I wanted to experience two of my favorites. The fried catfish was excellent, with mac 'n' cheese and white beans as sides, and sweet cornbread. The smothered pork chops were unreal, just so tender and flavorful. I had the green beans and the dressing, both of which were excellent, especially the dressing. Big Momma herself took our orders and was as nice as you would expect. The smell of the food hit me before I was 20 feet from the door, and overall, my expectations were met and exceeded. We need fewer chain restaurants and more local places like Big Mommas that make scratch food where you can truly taste the love. I certainly tasted that love today and I will be back regularly now.

Friends of mine suggested Big Mamas. It is a half hour drive, but they assured me the food was worth it. So, after calling and speaking to a lady who said her name was, Natasha, we decided to give it a try. (When I spoke to Natasha on Thursday she was very informative and friendly!) Brought the food home Thursday and it was still warm. They packed the food in a Styrofoam to go container and when tied off in a grocery bag it made it the whole drive back. Handed out the 3 meals we got and chowed down. It was DELICIOUS! The fried chicken was moist and flavorful, mac and cheese was on point, and veggies were true soul food status. To say the least, we were impressed! Just like we had been told to head over to Big Mamas, we told some family members. We raved so much that we were very easily pursued to order it for lunch again today and treat my neice. SO DISSAPOINTED!!! The chicken was dry and bones were dark. (Typically this means the food has been reheated.) The mac and cheese was overcooked and undercooked at the same time. Our cornbread was half the size we got the day before, and the Dressing that is supposed to come with the Baked Chicken was missing. We gave Big Mamas a call. Natasha answered again and I was happy to get her on the phone. She had been great Thursday. Not today. She was rude and kept talking over me. She wouldn't hear me out and eventually hung up on me. I was shocked, because I didn't call with a nasty attitude or requesting anything. I just wanted to give my feed back and ask if cooks had changed. We spent quite a bit of money and drove rather far to be dissatisfied. After Natasha hung up on us we called back and talked to someone who answered the phone yelling, "Hello, hello, hello!" They said they were thee Big Mama. She heard my complaints and said she'd be happy to rectify the situation. So, I verified that I would be there Monday for our meals. At that point the person I was talking to said in a rude tone, "Don't expect anything for free. Nothings free!" That was it. I wasn't even asking for that. Rude!!!

OMG! This is an absolute diamond in the rough. We yelped for a soul food restaurant and stopped by to give it a try! And then we went back for a 2nd visit the next day. It has the most delicious food ever. We tried the fried chicken, fried catfish, meatloaf, smothered pork chops, croquettes, mac n' cheese, cabbage, sweet potatoes. So wonderful! We all enjoyed the warm hospitality and even got out picture taken. This is a place where we will definitely let our friends know about!! If you are ever in out neck of the woods give us call and we'll return the favor! Aloha, a hui hou! Until we meet again!
