Pamela's Bayou In A Bowl - Alexandria

The food here was surprisingly good. We had the smothered chicken, rice and gravy, southern green beans with potatoes, and sautéed cabbage. You get a complimentary slice of cornbread and yellow cake with a simple sugar icing. The serving sizes are much larger than you think you will be getting which makes your meal very cost effective. The folks running the place were extremely helpful and patient with us as it was our first time there and navigating the menu can be a little difficult to understand based on just the pictures. Give this place a try and you will leave full and happy.

If you're looking for some delicious comfort and soul food, this is the place! This is a local, family owned business run by the sweetest people. You can order from the menu or choose from the daily plate lunch offerings (changes daily, served cafeteria style) such as smothered pork chops, baked chicken, beef stew, and, my favorite, chicken spaghetti. The meal comes with three sides, and the mac cheese is some of the best I've ever had. Each meal also includes a piece of cornbread and a piece of cake. They even have a drive thru now, so I can pick up yummy, home cooked food in the same time it would take to pick up fast food. This place is a CenLa treasure!

Great comfort and soul food . I had pork chops collard greens and red beans and rice. Tho food is spectacular!

It tastes like home cooking. The room is too big, but the food is great. It's good old fashioned comfort food.

Had the baked chicken and my mom had a fried pork chop, very good filled with lots of flavor. The sides were absolutely amazing!!! My favorite was the mashed potatoes cause they had bits of potato in them which is something that always elevates mashed potatoes above and beyond. The mac and cheese and sweet potatoes were also very good
