We certainly have a lot of restaurants in Louisiana, no doubt about it. Sometimes a place that doesn’t look like much on the outside can easily get glossed over, but many times, those are the best restaurants in the state. There’s one restaurant in Opelousas that doesn’t look too fancy on the outside, but trust us, the food is amazing.

Mama's Fried Chicken has been serving the Opelousas community since 1977.
