Big Mama’s Cafe

WOW!!!This is one amazing breakfast spot!!! Service friendly and welcoming! The place was a good size, tables spaced well so you didn't feel crowded on in. Welcoming! Now the food. I had the Pork Tenderloin!!! It was huge!!! And darn good. Sausage gravy was smacking and the biscuits were hard on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Perfect!!! This was an amazing breakfast!! Need this place back home!!! Two thumbs up!!!

Great spot and super friendly staff! Highly recommend for breakfast. Even though they're busy seating was quick and service was attentive

This is the most unassuming place you can imagine, and the BEST surprise. If you're ever traveling on I-70 near Columbia, MO, and have a hankering for the best country fried pork tenderloin (ever!) this is the place! Not only will you leave with a happy belly, you'll still have some change in your pocket--1990's prices--and feel like you just ate at your favorite Auntie's house. The service is fast, friendly and fabulous. It's a breakfast time favorite for our family.

Big Mama should be very proud! Seeing the parking lot full was the first sign we had struck gold. When you first walk in you are greeted and made to feel welcome. The interior is charming and clean-the bathrooms are clean-a HUGE plus in my book and that's just the first impression. The second is the outstanding service. Our server, Cathy, was delightful and a real pro. I was a server for years in my youth and I know how hard the job can be. I would return just for her and once we got our orders, we want to be adopted by Big Mama! Delicious food in generous portions at wonderful prices. My husband had the two eggs scrambled, bacon, hash browns and he had asked for sourdough toast without butter. His plate came out piled high-he couldn't finish all of his pig candy (so I helped him ) or his hash browns. The toast came out buttered and Cathy made sure he got the right toast and gave us one of the home baked cinnamon rolls as an apology. Wow! Mama raised her children right While in town, it's our go-to place.

We found this great local cafe on a Sunday morning road trip. It's obvious from the parking lot and line out the door that it's a local favorite. Staff was quick and helpful. They can really serve you fast so don't worry about the wait time. All the food was great. We definitely recommend coming to check them out.

Good experience! Service was mediocre but people were kind and welcoming. Food was pretty solid, just nothing standout in my opinion. I got the meat and Veggie Skillet and was happy with my decision. I know I sound crazy for this and it may just be a me problem but my biggest problem was with the amount of butter - I felt like there was just too much butter where at some points it overpowered the meat and other things.The calorie per dollar was pretty good! The ambiance was nice I thought, it was a pretty relaxing atmosphere.

Was heading from Independence back home, and stopped in here for a late breakfast. Better food than most diner type establishments right off an interstate. The service was good, even though the place was HOPPIN'. I think the locals appreciate this place too. It was pretty basic ambiance-wise, nothin' to write home about. But the food was good and they serve breakfast until they close. That's a winner in my opinion. Good size helping for the money!

Big Mama's Cafe has high ratings for legit reasons! Food is reasonably priced and very tasty. Service was friendly and fast. Desserts are the best!! Will be returning when possible!

Decided to go here based on the reviews. My daughter and I went here around 1PM on a Saturday. Not very crowded. We were seated right away. Waitstaff was nice. They do seem to know the patrons and talk it up. I'm sure that increases repeat business. The food portions are gigantic. I think if you come here and want to have leftovers, you can get another meal out of this place. Being from out of town, I felt guilty wasting so much food. I couldn't eat half of it! Tenderloin is juicy and flavorful. Biscuit was amazing. Hot potatoes were good too. My daughter enjoyed her pancakes. Like someone else mentioned, they don't have toppings really. Oh well. I see why this place is well liked.

Me and my wife eat here regularly but no more. After waiting for 20 minutes to order because our waitress by her own admission forgot about us we waited for our food. My burger was perfect, My wife's food which was a low carb skillet with 2 eggs over easy came out over hard WITH PLASTIC IN THEM!! Also served over a bet of hash-browns! She didn't eat one bit and since the waitress NEVER came back we left it on the table and spoke to both owners. They were very rude and said that it is not their problem and refused to take it off the bill. After arguing and being forced to pay we left! Congrats, You have lost us and a few of our friends as long time customers over your poor customer service.
