This was my first visit to Big Mama's and I haven't decided if there'll be another. The great - the food. I had the shrimp, rutabaga and mac and cheese. It was all seasoned well and the shrimp was fresh. Sadly..... that's it for the great. I also had okra. That would have been great if I had ordered it. I was charged $3.69 for it. The young lady was very apologetic and offered to remove the charge, but I was curbside and by the time I got the order, I just wanted to go home, so I declined. Mistakes happen. The big mistake, though, is the problem. When I placed my curbside order online, the site said it would be 10 - 20 minutes. I received a text that said a text would be sent when the order was ready. 50 minutes later, no food. I replied to the text. Apparently, it is automated. 5 more minutes and I debated whether to bother calling, or drive off. I called, and was told the order had just come up. After 3 - 4 minutes, a very sweet young lady brought the order out and apologized again, telling me, again, the order had just come up. I doubt she was lying but.... my order, then, had been sitting in the back somewhere. There is a decidedly different texture to fried food that has either been kept warm too long, or reheated. It was also tepid, not straight from the kitchen hot. Had the young lady not been so sweet, I'd have returned it (I was eating as I was going down the road). That and again, I really just wanted to go home. Will I eat there again? I'm just not sure. I certainly won't order curbside. As an older person, during the covid crisis, I won't dine in. I'll have to decide, perhaps, about pick up. It would have been great..... if it had been hot.

you know when someone passes you food that is heavy, its gonna be good. we had the big momma combos, hot and fresh, very tasty hamburger cooked to perfection and hot, crispy fries. the drinks were ice cold too.

We stopped by on our way home from Cavendish for some fries. Friendly service, huge portions and amazing fries. We will be back!

Mac and cheese, fried chicken, country fried steak. Collards, potatoes. All extremely fresh and the chicken was crisped to perfection. Seriously. Go here.

Customer service was terrible. Took the “waitress” entirely too long to take our orders. When the food arrived I received the wrong order at first, with collard greens and a muffin instead of cabbage and a roll. But when my correct food was given to me. My oxtail was flavorless along with my Mac & Cheese. It was burnt as displayed in the picture. As well as falling apart and not sticking together or the cheese wasn’t really melted either. My roll wasn’t as hot as I wanted it to be. The food wasn’t even hot. It was warm. From hearing others thoughts and reading reviews about this establishment, my expectations was high. After visiting and trying out the food, I am highly disappointed and will not be returning.

If you are in the mood for home cooking, visit Big Mama's. They have a HUGE selection of southern entrees and more importantly, home cooked vegetables everyday (they are closed on Mondays). I have yet to be disappointed when coming in for a to go order. I tried the delivery using DoorDash but it was a disaster so I wouldn't recommend delivery options. When you order to go, you may have to wait about 15 minutes or so, but it is definitely worth the wait to have your food hot and fresh! Definitely a "Sunday's BEST", but also a great go-to when your body craves a home cooked meal!

Best takeout food ever! It’s not all just slammed together quickly like any other takeout and the portions are huge! Very reasonably priced, fast/friendly service and yummy food! Poutine and mozza sticks are my fav!! Great location, too!

The name says it all! Soul food to feed your soul. Once you take your first bite, the flavors will take you back to Mama's or Grandma's kitchen table chatting it up with the family. The food very reasonable. The mac-n-cheese will make you cut flips. Oh, don't forget to try the homemade desserts! Throughly Enjoyed! Thanks Big Mama :)
I went with a co worker since they earned fifteen home cooking. I had Turkey wings collard greens and sweet potatoes. We went in January It's March and I'm still thinking about them. I think I need to go again. It was very good. My co worker has the pork chops greens and mac. I've never seen 2 chops served. We were both stuffed..... oh but it was so so so so good.... I'm so glad you were not there when I lived on that side of town.

If you want fried chicken, fried pork chops, etc like Grandma use to make. Go to Big Mamas. Very good food at a reasonable price. A little disappointed in the banana pudding because the wafers were a bit crunchy. Will definitely go back!

This is soul food at its finest! Once you eat here, you will wonder why it took you so long to find this restaurant. We ate Sunday lunch here last week, and this is what Sunday lunch is all about. When is the last time you had rutabagas? These are the amazing! I also had the country fried steak, rice and gravy, and a roll. We ended our meal with peach cobbler. All of it was delicious. One caveat: the sweet tea is really sweet. Cut it with half unsweetened.

First time stopping in. Employee very friendly —- only thing is there were so many decisions. We opted for the waffle cone (with hard ice cream scoops) and was certainly a great choice :0) Worth the stop!
