Big Ma's Soul Food Restaurant

Big Ma’s Soul Food Statesboro, GA** *A Local Spot with Heart, Flavor Potential, and Room to Grow* Big Ma’s Soul Food has the kind of hometown charm that makes you want to root for it from the moment you walk in. It’s a chill little spot in Statesboro with friendly energy, but the atmosphere could definitely benefit from a refresh some updated décor, a bit more personality, and a touch of soul to match the name would go a long way in creating a warm, inviting dining experience. Now, on to the food. I ordered the oxtail plate, and while the portion size and presentation were promising, the flavor just didn’t land. The oxtails were **overcooked and noticeably bland**, lacking the deep, slow-cooked seasoning and richness you expect especially at the price point. With a dish as iconic and lab

Down home feel with down home taste. I arrived around 4pm on a Saturday and they weren't too busy. The staff seemed very friendly and engaging with I'm assuming were regulars. Everyone seemed happy. They were out of a few things I wanted but no biggie. I did a to go order. When I got back to my hotel my food was still hot. Some things were a little salty for my taste, but it was still good. My food was served with a pancake (flapjack) instead of cornbread or roll which was a different touch. I will definitely return.

After reading the reviews. I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! 10/10 from the customer service all the way down to the drinks!!! Most definitely will be back again.

I was in town on business and decided to try this place out and soooo glad I did. This is a family owned business that comes with great southern hospitality. Although my order was to go, I enjoyed the service and atmosphere! The first time I went, I ordered the salmon with rice, cabbages, and Caribbean vegetables. I had never heard of Caribbean vegetables but quickly became my favorite! 😋 The second time I went, I ordered oxtails with more Caribbean vegetables, broccoli, and cabbages!

Great food and friendly people. Couldn't ask for more.
