About Us
Serving Acadiana Since 1977
Since 1977, Mama’s Fried Chicken has been a Louisiana destination for hearty, homemade comfort food. What began in Opelousas has grown through decades of meaningful connections with the communities we serve. Countless families have come to rely on Mama’s for a filling meal after a long day, and generations of young people have had their first job experience inside our restaurants.
From intimate gatherings to weddings and corporate events, big and small moments have been proudly shared over Mama’s Fried Chicken. Chances are, you’ve heard about our famous chicken salad through one of these occasions.
Now, we’re honored to bring Mama’s Fried Chicken to New Iberia with our newest location at 101 E Admiral Doyle Dr. The most rewarding part of what we do has always been getting to know our customers and hearing their stories firsthand. As we put down roots in New Iberia, we look forward to building the same kind of lasting relationships that have defined Mama’s for generations. Thank you for welcoming us—we can’t wait to serve you.
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.
