Aunty knows what she doing in the kitchen. My wife wanted to try this restaurant today and I don’t regret it. I ordered 10 honey golden wings, 10 hot wings, 10 lemon pepper boneless wings, fries and fried okra. When I tell you every bite had flavor and soul. Had me licking all 10 of my fingers . Wings cooked through and through. No sogginess, no pink. Sauce covered the entire wings. Love it. Fries were cooked with golden perfection, seasoned all around. Boy that fried okra don’t miss. Had me thinking about home fr fr. I’m telling you this place is the go to spot for now on. My military family will definitely hear about Big Fellaz Diner. Aunty I’m coming back to try the cat fish on Sunday.

Best food I've found in Hopkinsville. Home cooking to the max. If you're lucky and they are doing their lasagna for the day get it. It's more then worth the money. Wings are amazing as well. Homemade sauces. It's all fantastic honestly.

Chicken and dressing were very good. Cabbage definitely was a hit as well. Had the fried pork chop, and it was also pretty tasty. Not gonna lie, that Mac could use some help, but it had potential. Not pictured, but was the best thang on the menu, the chicken wings (Soooo good)!!!!!!Catfish gets an honorable mention as well. Don't let the exterior discourage you. the food is delightful. Its definitely a great portion size for 15.00 a person.

The food and service were fantastic. The building is old. The dining area is extremely small. They do a large to go business when you taste the food you'll see why.

Delicious catfish, cabbage, green beans, yams, fried corn bread, and caramel cake (not pictured). This is one of my go-tos! They're open on Sundays too!

Amazing soul food!!! I ordered the Catfish, Mac n Cheese, Green Beans and Corn. OMG it was all amazing!!! The breading on the catfish was phenomenal and cooked perfectly. The green beans were out of this world and the corn had a candy type of taste. The gentleman who took my order told me "everything here is good." Man, he was not lying!!! You will want to slap yourself if you miss out on this place!!! Excellent food and great people who work there!!! I will be coming back the next time I am in Hopkinsville!!! 5 out of 5
