My first impressions are not that great. When I walked in there was this overwhelming sense of lifelessness. Both the food and atmosphere looks dreary. Customer service was the most dry I've ever experienced at any restaurant in Houston. But I remain optimistic since the true testament will be in the flavor of the food....I tried the food. Not too bad but I would definitely say it is extremely over priced! I understand we're in inflation and all but for $20 for soul food, food usually found at cheaper prices, I felt a bit cheated to be honest. I bought the roast, mashed potatoes, chilli beans. and Mac and cheese. Roast was cooked very well. Everything else I could make at home out of a can. Valveeta over some pasta. Honestly my mashed potatoes tasted better. Chilli beans were forgettable. Better customer service would have gotten it a better rating.

1st time here, and the fried chicken was the best I've had in years! Mashed potatoes, yams, and fried cornbread didn't disappoint either! We will be back!

I came for dinner last night. The smothered chicken was amazing! The portion was huge. Green beans and mac n cheese were great.I came back this morning for brunch. The chicken and waffles was also good. Very big portion.The owner and staff are very personable.The jazz music playing in the background is at the perfect volume. You can carry on a conversation without shouting.Support local businesses.Give this place some love!

The food is nasty. I had the bake chicken, it was tuff and I had the cabbage, it was not seasoned. No flavor at all. I need to show them how to bake chicken, where it is tender and falling off the bone. Cabbage is the easiest vegetable to cook, instead of using water, use chicken broth. Yummy!

I had a fried chicken order to go, when I opened it at home, the chicken was in foil laying on top of the sides, and it was very greasy but when I ate part of the chicken, I noticed it was undercooked and still bloody! I also had 3 sides, mashed potatoes (they were INSTANT), mustard greens and black eyed peas. The mustard greens and black eyed peas were extremely salty and had so much pepper that I couldn’t eat them either. The quality of the food and the taste was very disappointing. I expected much better for the price.

Took my mom here on live music Sunday and she really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. It was our first time here. She's a tough food critique being from Louisiana and we both loved the food. The wings were seasoned like my grandma used to. My mom loved the chicken fried steak n gravy.
The catfish plate was absolutely fantastic. My husband's smothered steak was good, but the sides were cold. Definitely

My husband and I stop in from time to time. The atmosphere is quit pleasant. The food is great I love the fried chicken!!! I must say it’s the best fried chicken I’ve had sense relocating to the area. To me the Biggest delight to visiting the restaurant is that each time my husband and I visit the owner comes out to communicate with us. That’s absolutely amazing that he takes the time to come and communicate with those in his establishment. If your ever in the area stop by brag an order of wings oh and don’t forget to grab some Banana Pudding!!!!
Sad to say nothing to write home about. I went Friday after work the place was empty (2-3pm). The young lady that took my order wasn't friendly at all. Very dry and moody. I ordered the catfish, red/kidney bean & cabbage. The only thing that was good was the bean & rice! The cabbage was mushy and the fish was a wet kinda fry. I guess with the name I was expecting outstanding food. Very disappointed.

Big mamas had the potential to be a great experience. We got there on a Friday night there was absolutely no one in the restaurant at 7 o’clock in the evening. We both ordered the chicken fried steak, mine with green beans annd fries, the wife got mac and cheese. It was as if they had given us a chicken fried steak out of the frozen food department at one of your local grocery stores and the green were salty with a lot of like slap your mama added. It was absolutely terrible. I will not be going back. The prices were expensive for both food and drink. Just overall bad experience at the end of the day
