Chef Wayne's Big Mamou - Springfield

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. Such a small place packed with big flavors. I'll let the food speak for itself. Service is outstanding and very home like feel. My first time eating here and I felt like I was family. Well worth the wait since it's always busy. Will definitely be back one day.

Went here for lunch and was not disappointed. Had the amazing meatloaf sandwich. It had just the right amount of spices to not be to hot or mild, for me it was perfect. There was plenty of food to eat for the price, looking forward to going back here to try out some more offerings. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Service was very quick my party was in and out in about 30-35 minutes, so if you do not have too much time this would be a good fit. Parking is a bit limited on the street, but there is a new garage one street over from here.

Absolutely loved my experience here. Nice cozy place. The staff were great and get along well with everyone. Chef Wayne (very friendly guy) even came around to chat a few times during the meal. Went during Sunday brunch and ordered just the Chicken and Waffles, which was extremely filling and satisfying. Delicious food with great company.

Really a great stop for food. Inexpensive for the quality of food you're getting. As expected from a Cajun restaurant, the food has some spice too it, so a warning to those that are not fans of spicy food. But if you like that, the food comes out hot (both spicy and freshly cooked) and delicious.

Great little restaurant with a lot of character. Saw many locals dining hear and can see why. Food was really, really tasty (had the jambalaya) and service was great. The inside decor is fun (e.g. alligator heads and other Louisiana-style items). Definitely recommend!
