Here for a Saturday night Blues Music show. Special menu with the greatest hits. Everyone at my table is satisfied. Started with a side salad and two hot cornbread muffins. My friend chicken was perfect. The collard greens and yams are tasty. Portions are good and pricing will definitely get me back. The entertainment is hopping and the crowd is lively! Could use some more service staff. But,  that aside I have found a place to which I definitely will return for the friendly service,  delicious down-home food and great Saturday night entertainment!

Being from Memphis it's been hard to find good authentic southern BBQ in the Los Angeles region and when I stumbled across Big Mama's while living in North Pasadena last year I fell in love with them! So delicious! Super friendly staff! AND they have hush puppies!!

American southern food. Delicious. A little bit slow.

I had high hopes for this place. I even gave my wife a good sales pitch on why we need to go. I typically don't leave less than five star reviews but I think the food was bland and the service when we walked in, there was no one to greet us for a few minutes. Our server was actually pretty good. But I think the menu and the decor needs some updating.

Great Southern style food with somewhat of a hint of California. Southern favorites served authentically, very good service, fair prices. A small bar with a big screen TV for sports/breaking news, etc. A good place to bring the entire family, or a couple on a date. Tables seat just 1 to 4 for a cozy meal, or choose a booth to seat 6. It's not very big inside, and the space is used very wisely. Friendly and courteous staff who always aim to please. They serve more than just ribs. This was my 3rd visit and have been very satisfied each time. Try it you'll love it and come back again just as I have...
