Fried chicken, butter beans, creamed spinach… there’s nothing quite like sitting down to a home-cooked meal full of southern staples. When you don’t want to fire up your own kitchen, there’s one restaurant in Louisiana that’s serving up homestyle meals just as good as grandma used to make, and it’s worthy of a road trip from any corner of the state. Just be sure to come hungry, because you know the portions here are massive.

Don’t let the unassuming exterior to Big Momma’s Fine Foods deter you.
