The food at this lunch counter was fantastic! If I lived in Louisiana, I would eat here for lunch…read moreat least once a week. The quantity and variety of options was wonderful and very creative. All the sandwiches were named after Old Hollywood celebrities. Don't be put off by the antique store vibe, the food is delicious and the owner and help are so sweet. There are only five tables that I could see, each seating 3-4 people. We chose Back in Time because I wanted to try a muffuletta while I was in Louisiana. They did not disappoint! Their homemade olive spread was a delight. I wish they sold it by the jar and it would have come back to Oklahoma with me. While there we saw lots of repeat customers come in, which is always a great recommendation. Thank you, Back in Time, for such a great meal experience.

Stopped in on Tuesday prior to Turkey Day…read more So, I get that it's a small town and a holiday week...but goodness. What a poor experience. There were four in my party, we came in at 6pm. We were seated within seconds, so it was a good start. The bathroom was clean, when i went to wash my hands. And as i took a brief peek through the arcade, someone brought our table water. After I got back to the table, it was about fifteen minutes before we had our order taken. We ordered two personal pizzas, one medium pizza, and a shrimp po boy. I asked for some olives to be subbed to another veggie because im allergic. They dont do substitutions. So, I paid extra for vegetables. Kind of odd given that olives are higher priced food items than bell peppers or mushrooms, but whatever. After about 45 minutes, everyones drink was empty, and my fiance decided she wanted to play some games in the meantime. We loaded up an arcade card and toyed around for 15 minutes. While three young children, completely unsupervised smashed every button, screen, or setting possible on every game we played. We got message that our food was finally there. The food was good, my pizza shack house pizza with mini shrimps was surprisingly tasty. We asked for some to go boxes once we finished eating, and after about 10 minutes of waiting.... i just got up and grabbed them from the counter... we walked out of the restauranted at 8:10... So.... Tasty? Yes. Cleanliness? Good. Server attitude? Poor. Understaffed? Probably... Overall? Plenty of room for things to go better.

This is my first ever yelp review…read more And my first time eating here Let's start off with their menu prices on Facebook (which is where the web brought me 2 or 3 times) the prices are extremely out dated First and foremost I ordered the blackened steak and shrimp pasta Which I thought was $18.95 The steak was cooked in the microwave (you can't tell me no better There was no "blackened" to be found anywhere on that pitiful "steak" ~ It was barely seasoned And the price was 10 more dollars when I went to the register to pick up my food to go So between the prices and the food I won't be back this was very very disappointing I figured this well established restaurant in town I wouldn't have to double check my food, Everything was bagged up and tied up so I took it under the impression that it was good to go. There was nothing good to go about this dish. I would've went back but they were closed by the time I got home there's nothing worse than working a 10 hour day to come home to $35 worth of trash Wasted time wasted money :(

We got the 8-piece dark meat chicken only, plus a biscuit and a medium rice dressing, and it was a lot of food for two people. The chicken was super juicy with a little kick of spice, crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. The biscuit was bigger than your average biscuit--soft, buttery, and really good. The rice dressing could use a little more flavor. It reminded me of Popeyes, but with its own unique touch. Definitely worth a visit!

Mama's Chicken -- Opelousas, LA (Where diets go to die and…read morenobody's sorry about it) We rolled into Opelousas four deep, hungry, and feeling righteous. The mission was simple: real Louisiana fried chicken. Not "inspired by," not "elevated," not served on a slate tile with micro-greens. Just fried chicken that makes you question your life choices. With a name like Mama's Chicken, we figured we were at least in the right parish. Then we walked in. Packed. Locals everywhere. No tourists asking what a roux is. That's when you know you've done something right. The table immediately locked in on fried chicken orders. Boom. Boom. Boom. Shrimp and fish po'boys tried to flirt from the menu, but we stayed faithful. This was a chicken church and we were ready to worship. Then... betrayal. A small sign. Barely noticeable. Almost whispered. Chicken & sausage gumbo today. I folded instantly. Zero resistance. Straight to jail for crimes against the fried chicken alliance. I ordered the gumbo and red beans and rice because I have impulse control issues and the Lord understands. The food landed like a heavyweight title fight. Fried chicken stacked high--golden, crackly, unapologetic. Light and dark meat with that perfect crust that snaps back at you. Mac and cheese doing grown-folk mac and cheese things. Fries seasoned like somebody actually cared. And then my bowl showed up. That gumbo was dark-dark. The kind of roux that lets you know it's been places. Thick, rich, unctuous, and absolutely not here to be polite. Chicken and sausage swimming like they belonged there--because they did. The red beans? Creamy, silky, plump, and riding that rice like they've been together since high school. Let me be clear: You don't know fried chicken gumbo. You think you do. But you don't--until Mama's humbles you. Mama's Chicken doesn't need hype. It doesn't need branding. It doesn't need your Yelp opinion. It just keeps feeding locals and ruining outsiders' expectations of what "good" used to mean. Come hungry. Leave happy. Nap immediately. And don't pretend you're ordering the salad.

I decided to check Google for another option and I am so glad I did! The employees are friendly and respectful. The building is well lit, clean and has a lot of parking. But the food is freaking off the chart! I started with a small bowl of gumbo because, why not? I'm a gumbo snob and it was perfection. The okra was fried and seasoned just right. We ate them all! The chicken is large, meaty, crispy and seasoned so well, but not greasy! And then there's the biscuits. I'm pretty I've never felt the need to take a picture of a BISCUIT but that's exactly what happened. I hope you can see the flaking, dense, buttery sensation that they've created! We took a dozen to-go for our RV trip. Now, when we are visiting family in Baton Rouge, from Dallas, we will be making a point to stop here for a meal. Hubby and I both made a point to share how wonderful it was with the counter staff. I'm not sure reviews even do it justice. You've simply got to try it for yourself!
