They have the best food, especially the smothered pork chops!! Everything I've ever ordered is fantastic!!

Smothered pork chops are spot on. It has been a minute since I have been. Hours are spotty be sure to call before you go.

I have only been here once, but I am hoping to return soon! It's very good & the staff are friendly.

Every sunday me and my boyfriend go get soul food after church. we wanted to try a new spot today so we came here and will never be back .. we waited an hour for our food ( we were never told there was a long wait ) the customer service was so disappointing. We thought the food would be great after we had to wait so long and it was some of the most disgusting soul food i've ever eaten. i got fried chicken, greens and mac n cheese. my mac and cheese was mushy with no flavor, my fried chicken was not crispy , it was soggy and mushy with no flavor and my greens were so unseasoned and had no flavor. for a soul food spot in the west end , you'd think it'd be great but i would never recommend this food. read more

We waited for almost a hour for baked chicken with stuffing two sides and cornbread. This is crazy work!! When we first arrived we asked how was the service and if this was the same restaurant from the west end. He explain that this was a new company. They bought the business from big mama and her family. Well I guess they should have bought the customer service as well! Waiting a hour for pre made food is sick! The food could be amazing but because of the service my family will not be back! We waited all the time for cornbread. At this point, just give out bread. I would give a 1 star rating. read more

I simply love big momma's food it's that old fashioned southern food. So if your looking for food that reminds you of your momma's food then she definitely it. Also wants to let you know the staff was very helpful as well. Job well done read more

Very disappointed in the food at Big mommas. Besides the time it took for our food was ridiculous. Of all the food we had the cake was the only thing that was good. Won't be coming back there read more

Had their fried chicken at the Kentucky derby-- there's something about the fried chicken in Kentucky is just *chefs kiss* Perfectly seasoned, lightly fried to a beautiful golden brown and juicy and tender on the inside. Can't wait to come back for more. read more

Really nice Staff they serve the community well, plus I Loved the Fried Fish it was so good I had to put the leftovers in my purse to go

New location address is 1213 S 28th St. open 12-6 Wednesday to Sunday the food and service was amazing.

I have been there 6 times since the move and the service and food is consistent. read more

I have been here many times and the last two times I was disappointed. Consistency is key in any good business. Compromising and cutting corners is a no no. I had ordered a Baked Chicken dinner and the chicken was more par boiled than baked tasting. The corn bread was undone. I was also missing a side order. I called in to let them know about the incident. I returned feeling hopeful that the food was back up to par. I was again disappointed when I got home and the mac and cheese taste like flour with no cheese in sight. The baked chicken again taste par boiled without touching an oven. The mixed vegetables tasted frozen. I was also disappointed to pay for a side order when they were to replace the side item they didn't give to me the first time. I cringe while writing this review, because this has been a great place to enjoy a down south home-cooked meal. I pray all gets back to normal. Until then I'll cook at home. read more

Comfort. Food. Every bite just eased the soul. The fried chicken wasn't fresh as I'd like, but I did get there late. Next time I will go earlier in the day. I have heard great things about the sweet potatoes and hope to go when they're on the menu. read more

I love soul food. I love trying soul food in different areas. I had an event for work so i decided to venture out. They have daily specials. I ordered fried chicken wings, cabbage and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was watery. The chicken was great and the cabbage was under seasoned. I paid $9 for this. For a soul food place it is normal, but I felt it was overpriced. read more

took an hour to get my food then when I asked after waiting over 30 mins how much longer they got upset and rude about me asking I wanted my money back to eat else where they said no refunds! when my food came out it was cold and wasn't all the way cooked read more

When they was at their old location ppl including me would stand in line for a half hour or more to buy food everyone was polite service was very nice but now since they relocated to a new location the food is not as good, it's more expensive you wait for a half hour or more for the food to be ready for you to eat or take out. I was yelled at bc a lady in front of me moved over to the counter to place her order and I moved over behind her and I was yelled at by the owner stating " THE LINE IS OVER THERE YOU NEED TO MOVE BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE!" I simply said that I didn't know where the line was I was just trying to follow the person who was in front of me because I could see that her order was being placed there! It's somewhat different from the other location I just didn't like the way I was being treated, the prices are a little bit more honestly I will not be driving the distance like before just to be treated rudely and then pay more money for the rudeness ijs! read more

I asked, "soul food?" and many repeatedly recommended, "Big Momma's", a long time Westend favorite. If my arms are just a bit longer, I can literally touch the entrance door and the order counter at the same time. The place is tiny, the menus are posted at the top. Each day has a separate menu, with fried chicken offered almost everyday. Main entrees vary slightly each day between salmon croquet, ribs, baked chicken, smothered porkchops, fried fish, etc. Lots of traditional side dishes to choose from as you get 2 with each entree. My fried chicken was fresh and delicious, I got at least 4 large pieces of wings and thighs. Mashed potatoes was salty but I enjoyed my cabbage cooked with pork. I ordered sweet ice tea and unexpectedly got a small jug of the best ice tea I've had in a while. My lunchmates did not enjoy their baked chicken as it wasn't flavored well but they are willing to come back for a second try. I would normally give this a 3.5 for food but I like its charm, location and comfort . Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more

I went to Big Momma's Soul Kitchen on 11/10/2021, it was 5:55. I looked online before I went and it stated they closed at 7:00. As I was approaching the door another lady went inside. Once I got to the front door and note no one was behind me, a young lady came to the door, looked at me, locked the door, then pushed on door to make sure it was locked and walked off! I'm a mild mannered person and I saw red. It wasn't 6:00 yet, a simple, ma'am I'm sorry but we are closing would've been fine, something anything. I've seen this young lady before working and she always seems like she's having a bad day. I thought this was so unprofessional and rude, I will never support this establishment again. I've worked in my field for 25years and customer service is nothing like it use to be. I suggest this young lady get some customer service training and I'm sure you'll get better results. read more

I am in Louisville a few times per year and have been wanting to find soul food restaurants. This was going to be my second choice today but my first choice wasn't open for another 30 minutes. I got the fried chicken breast and wing, cabbage, mashed potatoes, corn bread and a piece of carmel cake. There was no waiting as I was the only customer. The chicken was seasoned nicely and was good although the breast was a little dry and my sides were excellent. The cake was the only dessert they had and it could have been moister but I don't think it was left from a previous day. I got my food to-go but there were approximately 5 seats total with none occupied at the time. I would love to go there on another day where they have more sides as an option. read more

The article in Food & Wine peaked my interest, although I was disappointed. The baked chicken was tender but lacked flavor, while the dressing reminded me of stove top. The meatloaf was good but way too salty. Their macaroni & mashed potatoes was good and creamy & the green beans were flavorful. I did order extra corn bread, although it was just a little too sweet for me. There were a couple picnic tables outside to eat. read more

So delicious! I've never had chicken, Mac and cheese or green beans so good. Thank you, Big Mommas!

Big Momma's Soul Kitchen - Soul Food Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I was really expecting some good home cooked food with southern flavor. I'm from Houston, so our soul food is on point there. Anyway on Sunday, I ordered chicken wings (which were amazing), fried fish (it was hard and fishy tasting), greens (lacked seasoning and tasted mushy), and sweet potatoes (flavor was ok), and caramel cake (that was dry). I won't return, but at least I can say I tried the food. read more

Big Mommas delivered like always! Great cheat meal for me this weekend! Fried chicken wings (3), was what I got even though they told me 4 but it's all good the 3 turned out to be good enough as I was definitely full. I also had fresh greens and sweet potatoes! Yummy! Nothing better than some good soul food on a Sunday afternoon. I hadn't been there in a few years, my wife hasn't been there at all so I figured it was time to try something new and old and it paid off, didn't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day! I read a review that describes it perfectly, a Diamond in the Rough! If you've never been, I highly recommend it! read more

Man they catered a wedding I attended and the food was PHENOMENAL. Catfish, fried chicken, stuffed chicken, yams, macaroni, veggies, and even the lemonade was a hit. read more

This restaurant was one of my favorite until the day came when the daughter of Big Momma was extremely rude and never apologized. I gave them a chance to apologize. So, I spend my money where I can be appreciated. They put too many signs up telling you not to be on phone in line, but some days they have you waiting for long times. Some of the food is too salty, so if you have high blood pressure you shouldn't be eating it anyway. When I shared what happened to me how the daughter embarrassed me while 2nd in line and told me to move my car so she could park her car in front, others said to me going out the door, She didn't have to do you like that! She was digging in her nose in front of the food today! read more

OMG! This is an absolute diamond in the rough. We yelped for a soul food restaurant and stopped by to give it a try! And then we went back for a 2nd visit the next day. It has the most delicious food ever. We tried the fried chicken, fried catfish, meatloaf, smothered pork chops, croquettes, mac n' cheese, cabbage, sweet potatoes. So wonderful! We all enjoyed the warm hospitality and even got out picture taken. This is a place where we will definitely let our friends know about!! If you are ever in out neck of the woods give us call and we'll return the favor! Aloha, a hui hou! Until we meet again! read more

Great soul food. Friendly staff. Smothered pork chops and rib tips were great, but then the carbs and starches stated to shine when mixed with the abundant sauce and gravy portions. Cornbread in particular was perfect consistency for sopping up the succulent juices. Cashier gave us complimentary mashed potatoes for the baby. Overall ordered a ton of delicious food for an extremely reasonable price. read more
