Ma Mama's Kitchen

Have been here many times over the years. Time before last not too good but wanted they deserved another chance. Hit it out the park tonight. Excellent! The broiled trout with baked potato was great. Also the shrimp with mommas bread was excellent. Service was great. Cocktails are perfectly made. Order the ole fashioned. Great vibe as always. Will see you again momma!

The bread is worth stopping for lunch. Albeit a tad pricey the food is awesome, just don't be in a hurry. 40 minutes later our food came. Service could be more attentive. Waiter asked if I would like ketchup, I answered yes, he never brought it, or could I get his attention to bring it. However next time in town, and it's lunch, we will return.

Poboy bread incredible. Best shrimp poboy we have EVER eaten!!! And we've eaten a lot of them!! We had to ask the chef why the fries were so different from any we've ever had, they were so yummy, we're going to try it at home, and keep their secret. The turtle cheesecake was INSANELY delicious and hard to decide which dessert to get!Quaint upscale ambience with midscale prices. Our server, Justin was very attentive and helpful with choices. 5 star in every aspect!

Every now and then you find a place where everything you try is HOLY S*** good. Ma Mama's Kitchen is such a place.Tucked away on the tiny downtown strip of New Roads, LA (on Main St. of course) facing the shore of False River, which is actually a lake that used to be a part of the nearby Mississippi, Ma Mama's Kitchen seemed to serve a boisterous local clientele on the Friday night we visited. We had reached our rental property late and friends had already eaten. So, we Yelped our way here and relished in the greatness.We started with an in-house brioche with a mediterranean dipping oil. My +1 said it was "the best bread I've ever had". It's hard to argue. It was like carb-crack. I had the Crab & Corn Bisque and she the Gumbo. Both were mouth-wateringly amazing. She also tried a Blueberry Martini which was beautifully balanced for a sweet drink.The atmosphere had everything you want from this retro-hip, upcycled south part of the state. It was an old house with creepy old painting and lots of wood. Service was strong and personably. False River draws lots of vacationers, so the staff was very comfortable interacting with us as newcomers. Probably didn't hurt that we were so blown away by the food. I don't know that we'll ever be back in this little town. But, this place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This time was immensely better than the first time I'd been. The server was super sweet and attentive. She made sure our drinks were topped off and that our every need was met the entire time. The dining room was quiet albeit during the middle of a weekday. Nights can be a bit more clamorous but still nothing unbearable. So for starters, the Mama's Bread--just get it. I had the corn and crab bisque which was excellent. My mom and dad each had a cup of seafood gumbo (not pictured) which they said was very good. They split a shrimp poboy and took the rest home. I had the breaded eggplant Bayou Teche which may be the best thing I've ever had in Louisiana. Too stuffed from lunch, we got a slice of cheesecake with the strawberry compote and a piece of their white chocolate blueberry bread pudding (which is to die for) to go. If you're ever in New Roads or on the False River, be sure to stop in for a nice meal at this gem.

This is a nice place, nicer than I was dressed for, but the service was good. We were the only ones there right at 11. They brought out their signature bread and man, it's good. Very hearty. (However my grandmother is sure her homemade yeast bread is better.) I tried it with the Mediterranean dip but I am so used to the za'atar from our local place that this was nothing in comparison. Stick to the bread and butter.We ordered fried shrimp/catfish, and catfish filets over crawfish ettoufee. The ettoufee was so good! The green beans had salsa poured over them and that wasn't to my taste but my Mawmaw liked them a lot. The lunch's version of shrimp/catfish combo only has 3 shrimp. That's a little lame. But the catfish and the fries were very good. When people started coming in they sat us all at a distance from each other. And the employees are masked.

Everything was amazing - food, service and ambiance! Not as crowded this time with "things", as in the past. My 3rd time there over the past 12 years and it was excellent every time! This time we had a filet, broccoli Au gratin, oyster orleans, a starter I can't remember and a piece of coconut cake. OMG!! Highly recommend!

This place is fabulous! A bit out of the way but absolutely worth the drive. Everything was wonderful.. the food especially the dessert.. the bread and really good service !..available not annoying now back to the dessert.. see the picture of the HUGE oh my goodness.. piece of cake! Make the time, make the reservation, make the drive... you can thank me later! lol

Ma Mama's is a gem of a family restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is out of this world. Our appetizers included the crawfish balls with homemade pepper jelly, stuffed mushrooms, and the roasted cauliflower. Let's not forget the mounds of delicious bread and dipping sauce. Our table of 7 tried a variety of entrees. My fish was perfect as was the pork shank. Desserts are a must here - Ms. Kim is a phenomenal baker. Best key lime pie ever. Come sit at the cozy bar or make reservations for a table and enjoy the best evening.
