Mama's Fried Chicken

This is an Opelousas icon! The fried chicken , Shrimp Po’Boy, and red beans and rice and fresh homemade biscuit are amazing! Generous portions, fair prices, friendly and attentive service,and made with love! You have to eat here!

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
