About Us

Serving Opelousas Since 1977

Since 1977, Mama’s Fried Chicken has been an Opelousas destination for hearty, homemade comfort food. Through the years, we’ve made invaluable connections with the people of our city. Countless families have come to know they can rely on Mama’s for a filling meal to put on the table after a long day. Generations of high schoolers have had their first job experience inside our restaurant. Big and small events, from showers to weddings to corporate events, have proudly featured food from Mama’s Fried Chicken. We’d bet you’ve heard of our chicken salad through one of these events! 

But the best part of these connections is getting to know our customers and hearing these stories directly from them. Thanks to the people of Opelousas, Louisiana, Mama’s Fried Chicken is a special place. People from across this city and beyond have continued to support our restaurant by eating here and spreading the word to others, and for that, we can’t thank you enough!

As a second-generation family-owned restaurant, we take pride in serving great food fast without ever sacrificing quality. So, we use fresh ingredients and make many of our dishes from scratch for a delicious meal that’ll satisfy your appetite and warm your soul.

Come over to Opelousas and get a taste of our famous fried chicken, our shrimp po-boy, or one of our sides sprinkled with our famous French Fry Seasoning. No matter what you’re in the mood for, our large menu and mouth-watering dishes will leave you full and happy!
