“ Went to the original restaurant on Hwy 190. I had the fried chicken with red beans and rice. Food was great as always. They are really consistent. And unlike some other places that has red beans, theirs also has sausage cooked in it. They also have thee best onion rings. Perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. We always stop when in the area. ”
“ I drove 800 miles from Florida to visit and this was my first choice for lunch. I have missed this fried chicken so very much! It is well seasoned and hot. The lemonade is out of this world good! ”
“ Mama's has the best fried chicken gizzards around. They are tender and have just the right amount of seasoning. I went through the drive-through, and the service was fast and excellent. ”
“ Ryan and the crew at Mama’s serve up the BEST fried chicken this Yankee has ever tasted! And the red beans and rice and homemade tart lemonade is outta this world! Please don’t ever change a thing. ”
“ Much better than the Jake location. Love the free kid meals from Quest Dentistry. Food was great. Portions were good. ”
“ I have been enjoying Mamma's fried chicken for many years. Much more enjoyable than Canes or Chick Fil A. Mama's has great sides like rice dressing that you will not find at the national chains. Even my kids really enjoyed the chicken tenders and Mama's sauce. Since we live in Texas I don't get to enjoy Mama's as often anymore but always like to stop when visiting family nearby. ”
“ After seeing the sign for Mama's countless times on our way to and from Lafayette, we finally stopped to give it a try and we were not disappointed! The fried pickles were definitely the star of the show - perfectly battered and deliciously crispy. The fried chicken was good, but pretty standard for the area. My daughter got a double cheeseburger and it was juicy and delicious! She chose the fried okra for her side and it was really good as well! ”
“ First visit here and the food is hot and great! ”
