We went for breakfast while camping at Deer Mountain campground. The staff and service was great. We had a table in the back by a window with a beautiful view of the mountains.❤️ I ordered an omelette with all kinds of goodies in it and rye toast.👍 My son had something with eggs, cheese and all kinds of goodness. Everything was delicious !!!

Amazing food and great experience. Aptly named- you’ll leave here full, fat; and sassy (and maybe a little gassy lol)
Highly reccomend, Jermaine the owner was cool and ran a solid ship

You don’t just get full here… you get Fat Belly full.
I was working on a project in Opelousas and decided to skip the usual chain spots for something with more soul—and that’s exactly what I found at Fat Belly’s Diner. Tucked off the beaten path, the place has this humble, cool vibe with graffiti art on the outside and smoke rising from the kitchen like a promise.
We got there early and were greeted by Mr. Jermaine himself, the proud owner and mastermind behind the magic. He personally wrote out the menu on a whiteboard—pure plate lunch poetry. I went with the oxtail smothered in brown gravy over rice, paired with green beans and red beans. Let me tell you: sweet, savory, seasoned to perfection, and absolutely delicious.
The portions? Generous. The flavor? Out of this world. The vibe? Soulful, welcoming, and unforgettable. When my buddy asked for a Diet Coke, Mr. Jermaine laughed and said, “This is Fat Belly’s—ain’t no diet here!” And he meant it.
This is comfort food done right. If you’re anywhere near Opelousas, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Just come hungry—and maybe clear your schedule after… because you’re gonna need a nap.

Saw it on the Google map. Heard the message on the phone got all hyped up because y’all said y’all were “too busy to answer the damn phone.”We got over there a truck load full, and the place look like it was closed down. Try leaving a message that says we’re not open today as a courtesy . Maybe another time we’ll get to see and taste what the hype is all about..
