Big Mama's BBQ has been offering country cooking and grilling from their location in East St. Louis since 2001. The family-owned eatery is known for their crispy snoots, meaty rib tips, the legendary "Cooter Comeback Sammich" and their delicious house-made cakes. Choose from Mama's Favorites, including chili cheese fries, chicken strips, Midwest toasted ravioli, Barney's basket of cornbread, loaded fries, and jalapeno poppers.

Try entrees like Mama's grilled chicken wings and drummies, pulled chicken or pork, pork steaks, spare ribs, rib tips, Polish sausage or hot dogs, burgers, wraps, a big salad, half a grilled chicken, or the Classic Cooter - a stacked sandwich with pulled chicken and pork over two beef patties topped by a double cheese fry and house made creamy chili Cooter sauce with green onions.

Sides at Big Mama's include coleslaw, potato salad, cucumber tomato salad, green beans, baked beans, corn nuggets, waffle fries, fried okra, fried mac n cheese, onion rings, and garlic mashed potatoes! Big Mama's also offers tasty cakes for dessert. Mama's sells their cakes whole and by the slice.

Eat in the dining room, walk in and order, use the drive through, or call ahead and indulge. Big Mama's also offers catering for big and small events - from family parties to business meetings, weddings, and more. Call Mama for that next big get together!
