Not Your Mama's Cafe & Tavern

Always great food when I go here! The food is always fresh, hot and authentic. My family and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and we had great service as well. So many options of different types of food to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who’s looking for some good southern eating!

We were passing thru during a cross country move and I desperately wanted some Gumbo while in LA. The Seafood Gumbo did not disappoint!! I actually wished I would've gotten a bowl and not a cup and had it for my whole dinner lol. The portions are big, my husband and I shared a the seafood angel hair pasta and barely made a dent, it was delish! The kiddos popcorn shrimp was also a huge delicious portion. If you're passing thru I highly recommend. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself was a super cute setup.

The food was delicious! Our server was great! We will return.

Good food but understaffed and no bartender within 58 miles. Steak was cooked really well (tasted good & hot but was well-done even tho I ordered a medium rare). It was also a really small ribeye but it did the trick.

During the holidays, it is expected to have some places understaffed so this is not a slant on the establishment. Still a good place and will try another evening in the new year.

Great place! Service was great, restaurant was clean and very nicely maintained, and the portions were huge!! The food was well prepared and we would definitely eat here again.

They have raised their prices but, refuse to update their prices in their menus and charge extra for paying with a credit card....* They tell you they have signs in the lobby .' Not Acceptable'. I want to know what I'm paying - Put your signs on the tables if you are going to do this..it's dishonest.... Food is Good!

We defended upon this place with about 25 people and very little notice when our group was turned away from a different restaurant. Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow on drinks, but then again we only had one wait person since we didn't give them much notice. But overall a very good place to eat.

Again we had a delicious meal. Never disappointed. The filet is the best we've had in the state of LA. And we've had a bunch. Tonight was Valentine's dinner and I'm so glad we made reservations. We also shared the crab platter and their rolls are what we drive 40 minutes for😁

Nice decor & atmosphere . Food was just “ok”! . Our service was TERRIBLE. Waitress was MIA for most of our time there. We had to ask someone else for her when we wanted to order & when we were ready to leave . It took over 2 hours to get our main entree after ordering . However , locals seemed to be in & out in no time .

I’ve been coming here at least once a year since I was 16 and have never been disappointed! The huge chocolate cake is always my favorite take home dessert got to get it everytime, I normally get the shrimp Nancy(delicious!) but this time me and my boyfriend shared the boudin dip 10/10! For entrees he got the grilled catfish and shrimp with vegetables, and I the catfish Sarah. The grilled catfish was a touch salty but my food was just about perfect! Our waiter was great as well, everything came out timely!
