We were greeted walking in and told to sit where we wanted, so we grabbed a table by a window. Our server came over with menus and made us feel at home. She got our drink orders and returned promptly. She was friendly, kind and professional. We started with some appetizers, their fries pickles, fried mushrooms and the mac and cheese bites. All three were good, The pickles good, the mushrooms and mac n cheese very good. The bites were the best of all three. I went for the fried Chicken with mash and cream gravy, and green beans. The chicken was very good, fried golden brown, tender and juicy inside. A nicely prepared meal. The mash and gravy were also very good. The green beans, old school, like grandma made. This is home style cooking done very well. All in all, a solid choice for a meal. Good food, great service and a fair value. 4.5 Stars rounded up for our great server 01305

There was a long list of specials when you come into the restaurant that aren't all on the menu- so take note. They all sounded good. I had the patty melt with fries, which was piping hot and on tasty rye bread with plenty of sautéed onions. My lunch partner had a cheeseburger and fries. The hamburgers were hand pattied, tender, and juicy. This is a great stop right on I-55 at Hayti MO.

A friend and I recently ate lunch here together. It's a great soul food restaurant, located in the…read moretype of neighborhood that I'm only comfortable frequenting during the daylight hours. On this day of the week (Wednesday), the restaurant featured their fried chicken. A local resident had strongly and repeatedly recommended Mae's food. My friend and I both ordered the fried chicken. I'm sure glad that I did! It was perfectly breaded, seasoned, and cooked. We were given our choice of cut, and we both chose chicken breasts. It was nicely-sized and fresh. I would definitely recommend it, and I would order it again. For side items, the collard greens, sweet potatoes, and blackeye(d) peas were all delicious and properly prepared. I ate every last bit, especially since the portion sizes were a bit too small. I would suppose that tiny portions dramatically reduce food waste. The square of cornbread was quite welcomed. I had also heard that Mae's cooks up some delicious pork chops (on Thursdays) and meatloaf (some Fridays). I look forward to trying those as well. The building doesn't have central air conditioning, but rather a series of window units. During the height of summer, it can get uncomfortably hot inside the restaurant, so they do a lot of take out business. If you want to eat inside, be sure to pick a cool/cloudy day. Also, the parking situation is a bit chaotic, with no designated spaces marked out. It's kind of a free-for-all. The safest bet is to backup into an open spot, just for better visibility when you leave. I made the mistake of parking head-in. It took me forever to back out. The street that runs in front of the restaurant is full of fast and careless drivers. Be sure to take some cash with you, because this place doesn't accept any credit or debit cards.

When we told our server that our food was overcooked she acted like it was the biggest inconvenience in the world that she had to take it back. Had employees pass multiple times and for that 30 minutes we waited didn't get a single refill of drinks even as our server walked past not doing anything. 4 employees were just standing at the counter talking and on their phones. Over all a horrid experience and wish I could get my money back and set an extremely bad example for the brand.
