After 25 years, Chef Wayne is shuttering his doors. Citing his age, hassles to return to a safe eating environment due to Covid-19, and a desire to try different things, the best darn restaurant is only open a few more days. Get yourself over to the place to order take-out and enjoy the best food around. Louisiana Lenny's Sausage-n-Chicken Ya'Ya is my favorite. Thanks Chef Wayne!
As a food connoisseur myself, I'm aware the only place to have a skilled chef whip you up some fresh cajun or creole cooking like this would be have to be straight in the bayou district where creole is a staple. Mardigras Bourbon street fresh and just as good if not better. Chef Wayne is the real deal
restaurant will be closed I believe the end of the month. Big Mamou has been around a long time. Food was usually pretty good
Entrees follow their apps counterpart as filling & bringing that Cajun/creole heat like you were actually down in the state of LA without leaving MA or giving you a burning desire to go to that dope state. Deserts are a few but pretty good for the place & what you'd expect in LA anyhow. Thus for all the reasons why the stars & ranking.
Cane back after a long hiatous & dined at 12N or after & had a prime rib and shrimp BBQ (with a little blackened) and veggies, rice& of course you must have cornbread and still this spot hasn't missed a thing. Yes I did snap a pic of my meal so you'll see & this place still is one damn good spot for Louisiana cuisine and that's real.
The lady at the front was very helpful and nice, I would highly recommend eating here at this restaurant! Great service!
Awesome food! Prices are fantastic and people is great! I love the Jambalaya. The food is fresh and delicious, service is quick and server and staff are very nice super friendly. We know the owner but he is never there but the place runs perfectly without him. Highly recommend

My husband and I got the thunder thighs jerked, crab cakes, corn bread, and bbq pulled pork to go today. As usual, everything was amazing and delicious! We’ve never had a bad meal here, and can’t recommend the jambalaya enough!
Absolutely stunning food. The colors of the shrimp, sausage, veggies and rice were stunning. Aside from colors, the food was perfectly cooked - the rice was soft but not mushy, the shrimp plump (how did Chef Wayne make the shrimp taste so dang good I can't do it this way at home), the sausage was perfectly spicy but not too much. I ordered 5 corn muffin but Big Mamou kindly added an extra one. They were moist and perfectly cooked.Thank you Chef Wayne for being my first exploration into Cajun food - I think you've helped me develop a new obsession :)

The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the food was fantastic. I got the crab cakes and the cajun pasta. If I had known how good it was, I would've ordered a second plate!
WOW!!! I have heard about this place for some time. The food is absolutely fantastic. I had this chicken and sausage dish that was full of flavor and chicken was scrumptious..... Can't wait to go back.
This was a great experience. The food was truly great and the costumer service was awesome. It is also BYOB which is always nice and one of the very few places in the area that are.
This has been a favorite place of my family 4 many years. Have NOT every had a bad meal. Service staff is awesome.
