The breading in the country fried steak and the chicken were some of the best I've ever had. The country fried steak was crunchy, well seasoned, and delicious. The chicken breast was soooooo juicy! The waffle was preferred over the pancakes for us. It had a very diner feel so it was a cozy experience with the aroma of black coffee, eggs, and bacon wafting through the air. Our server was very attentive and kind. read more

While in New Orleans we planned on going for beignet, but the rain stopped us from getting there so we looked up a place close to the hotel for a nice brunch. We came across this place as an alternative and were presently suprised on the great brunch, and terrific home style cooking. I went with the Cajun omelet and my wife had the crab cake Benedict. My omelet was filled with cheese, sausage, onions and tomatoes. So flavorful! The Sunday biscuits were fresh and great with a little strawberry jam. I went with the cheese grits as recommended by our server for my side. Yummy! My wife could not finish her Benedict as it was so rich and a lot of food. 2 heaping mounds on biscuits with hashbrown on the side. Old down to earth style with a New Orleans flair! Our server was very helpful in making our choices. read more

This is a great place! We wanted to go someplace for breakfast and this was just a short walk from the Hyatt Regency, where we were staying. We were not disappointed. I had the Greek omelette and hubby had a fish po-boy and gumbo. They were both delish and it was very affordable. Our server couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. I'm guessing this might be a local hang. The atmosphere was totally New Orleans and we sincerely enjoyed it. read more

I was craving Country Fried Steak and Yelp guided us here. Walked in and were sat right away. The staff is very friendly and everyone greeted us. It's casual and the decor is very artsy. Really, you can buy some of the local artists artwork on the walls. We were given drinks and ordered: country fried steak and eggs and my husband ordered the Cajun omelette. Both were very good! They gave me a steak knife, but the meat was so tender I just used my fork. Eggs cooked perfectly over easy. I wanted to try the pancakes but I was so full that I'll save it for next time. I'd definitely come back. read more

A great stop lunch after we went to the Titanic immersive experience. The food was good with lots of flavor the chicken was hot and juicy. I had chicken sandwich which is bun and lettuce with 2 chicken tender just the right size. Good flavor and just enough food for me. My wife got 2 piece chicken meal with fries (she always ask for crispy it is her preference) as the side. She also ordered the Crawfish Bloody Mary spicy. This basically is a mini snack with pickled Okra, olives and a complete crawfish. The Bloody Mary is reason enough to stop in. Great service food came out in about 10 minutes but they say on the menu that fresh food take a little bit and fried chicken could take up to 20 minutes. It is made to order is my guess. The ambiance and decor was cool. The music was a bit loud and more ROCK than New Orleans type music. I recommend Daisy Mae's We had a good meal. For a fair price. read more

The food was really good but my server was very impatient, she didn't seem very happy in general and overwhelmed. I only ordered the chicken and waffles with water because I don't drink alcohol. When she dropped off my plate she didn't ask if needed anything she just ran away. I had to ask another server for another plate because i only eat half of my food because I portion my food. My ticket was $19.94 and I left a $20 bill. I used to serve tables a long time ago and I know how to treat people despite color with proper customer service skills. In today's times servers are very lazy. If you simply ask me how is everything and if I need anything maybe once or twice I can see you actually know how to do your job and aren't expecting a tip. If no one tips the servers they make no money. So good luck with the $0.06 I left you. The girl didn't tell me her name but I heard her say it to her other tables Julian or Julie. I am her on vacation for Jazzfest. I am enjoying myself which means if I go out to eat I am more than capable of tipping but obviously Julie or Julian thinks I am not able. Fix your mindset ma'am. read more

Helene a great server. Recommend this restaurant and Helene friendly service. The restaurant has the best chicken and waffles.

Easy walk away from the main drag...great place for breakfast. Clean, quite with entertaining signage all around. Nick was our server, friendly, attentive and quick with a smile. Seated right away and ordered the fan favorite...chicken and waffles, as well as some mighty fine coffee. Plates came up quick...A LOT of chicken, 3 big pieces and a huge waffle. Chicken came out hot, crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside...nicely seasoned and not greasy at all. The waffle was crisp on the outside and soft, chewy on the inside. A definite hit and a great value. Again, super friendly service, will go back on our next NOLA adventure. read more

Went looking for a quiet place for lunch and we hit on a gem at Daisy Mays. My friend was in town for the first time and looking for a southern staple for lunch. She had never had chicken and waffles which was recommended by our server. I have to say it was an excellent recommendation. You had your option of different types of chicken and different flavoring. We chose chicken tenders which were juicy and fried perfectly and the waffle was sweet and delicious. It was a fantastic lunch and we didn't feel completely stuffed when we left, which was nice considering we had a full day of activity ahead of us. If you're in town, you absolutely need to put this on your list of restaurants to frequent. read more

Meh at best. Service was slow, server seemed to wish to be anywhere else, my husband got the wrong order, and the food was room temp, making it seem like it was waiting in the kitchen for a long time. read more

Daisy Mae’s - Giant mimosa! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was a small location with a bar that served traditional Southern dishes. The service was nice, and the food came out in a timely manner. I went with the chicken tenders and waffle ($16.25?). There were three huge chicken tenders to an order. These were extremely crispy and fried nicely. There was plenty of flavor on the skin while the chicken was tender and juicy. It was some of the best fried chicken tenders I had in awhile. The waffle was light and fluffy. They had just the right amount of sweetness present. The maple syrup that was provided just enhanced everything on the plate. Will I go back? I would, yes. read more

Don't come here. Took 40 mins to get a 3 piece chicken take out order and 5 fries. One girl told me "sit down and get comfortable sweetie patootie, it's going to be a while." Mind you the place was not busy, they just tailored to certain people. Got more attitude when we asked for ketchup and ranch. Trash food, trash people. People eating there weren't welcoming either. read more

If you're looking for an authentic New Orleans breakfast, Daisy Mae's delivers the goods. It's a classic diner where you can enjoy breakfast around the clock. If I had more time, I would have ordered the signature Southern Fried Chicken & Waffles sandwich. It looked awesome! Instead, I ordered the Alligator Omelet. It was fresh off the grill and oh so filling. But for the life of me, I can't tell you the taste of Alligator Sausage after eating it. Their gumbo was a spicy eye-opener for breakfast as well. Sit at the counter if you want the best service! read more

There's nothing better than a good old southern breakfast. This spot wasn't far from the hotel. It's cozy and the staff is friendly. Known for their chicken and waffles so of course we had to try it. Well it didn't disappoint. We got all dark meat, the size and flavor all on point. I haven't had a bad bowl Shrimp and grits, some other good choices the streak and egg, and for my no meat folks go for the Vegan omelette. Helene was amazing, ensuring the order was correct and glasses stayed filled. read more

Wanted to try chicken and waffles in New Orleans and these were an ok option. The chicken and pancakes had a sweeter and lighter batter than the waffle. The chicken itself was very crispy and seasoned pretty well. Staff is also very friendly and there is a bar as well. Plenty of seating inside but it does get hot inside! read more

Cool little chill place, staff was friendly, the chicken was SUPER crunchy, it was good, but Willies is better. The red beans and rice was excellent.

I came with a group of 8 ppl. The service was fast and friendly. I tried the small (?!) gumbo which had a good amount of meat. I also got the chicken tender basket with potato salad and an extra side of sausage gravy (gravy was just okay). The chicken was super moist and tender which, along with the potato salad, was some of the best chicken and potato salad I've had in ages. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Also one of the best Bloody Mary's I've had in quite some time. read more

I want to start with saying,the customer service was wonderful. I ordered the red beans and rice with fried chicken. I enjoyed my meal. This was a soulful and yummy bite for brunch.

We simply loved our late breakfast at Daisy Mae's. Our waitress was fun and inviting, the turnaround on the orders was quick, and we didn't have a wait to be seated. The chicken was cooked to perfection--juicy, crispy, and very well-seasoned. The waffles are thick and filling. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a sumptuous and feeling downhome breakfast. They have pretty decent seating and this spot seems to be popular with locals and tourists. The location also is close enough to the French Quarter for a nice morning or early afternoon walk to eat. read more

The reviews for here are deceiving. We walked to Daisy Mae's expecting a crowded place with the aroma of home cooked chicken. No! We walked in and no one greeted us. Finally a lady told us to sit anywhere. Handed us menus and left. She came back and when I asked what sides came with the chicken, she had no idea. The menu states the chicken is fresh made and takes 20 min. No, we got our chicken right away and it was warm and not that great. The potato salad had too much vinegar. 2 hushpuppies come with it and they were just fried corn bread. Very disappointed. We finished and our waitress never came back. My husband found her and she asked if she took too long and he told her it was awhile. She got the ticket and slammed it on our table and never came back. The place was nice and cool. Decor was good. We met another couple who had just eaten there and they said they were disappointed also. Won't go back. :( read more

Was in New Orleans visiting in mid April. I had to go to the Verizon store which opened at 11am to replace my phone and came here around 10:45 ordered a coffee togo at their kiosk as there was no one at the door and no one who even greeted me. I order my coffee and sat and waited, multiple staff passed by me and never once said anything, asked what I was waiting for or even acknowledged I was there, finally at 11:05 I had to physically stop a server and ask when I could get my black coffee to go. Was told they don't get togo orders for drinks and didn't know I was waiting for that and that they thought I was waiting for a food order, yet not a single person even asked what I was waiting for to see how much longer I would have to wait. I'm sure the food here is good but the service is not worth coming in for. I would not suggest this place at all to anyone one coming into the area because if the staff is that disassociated from the customers in the building they aren't worth the time for anyone. Don't waste your money here for for a staff that doesn't even care if your there or not read more

My overall rating should've been 3.5 mainly because of the not-so-great service. However there are no 1/2 stars so I guess it's closer to 3. What I liked... 1. We were seated fast (place was a bit empty maybe coz it's not in the French Quarter) 2. The fried chicken was wow -- the batter was seasoned well and crispy, the chicken pieces were moist and delicious. 3. The alligator omelette was okay and lacked alligator sausage; the side of grits was tasty. 4. The place was clean. What I didn't like: 1. Service was lackluster. The server wasn't forthcoming when I ordered my omelette and requested a biscuit (an option on the menu). When my order was delivered to my table, it came with white toast. When I asked for my biscuit, she said that they didn't have any or they didn't offer it. That was disappointing. She also wasn't attentive in refilling our glasses and we had to call for someone's attention multiple times for anything. read more

Work in no kitchen and she don't f**King know when the food will be done and added some more to it I should of walked out but already paid I was not only disrespected to the fullest and that has never happened in my life I am a waitress myself and she was a mess read more

So while I was walking back from Mothers I was still hungry, so I stopped into Daisy Mae's since it was on my way back to the hotel, plus fried chicken sounded good. The place is smaller, clean and modern. The tables are close together and I was greeted with a smile by the server. I looked at the menu and picked the two piece fried chicken (breast and thigh) with onion rings. The menu said it could take 20 min since it is freshly fried but I received mine in 10 min. It was hot and fresh. The fried chicken was a super golden brown, the coating was a wet batter that coated the whole piece and got into all of the crevices. The batter was super crispy. It also was very well seasoned, it had a bit of spice to it, but not too much. Under that delicious fried coating was amazing chicken. The chicken was very juicy, and I suspect it was brined for the chicken itself tasted seasoned, and a bit salty, but in a good way. The breast, which is usually hard to keep moist was juicy and flavorful, mixed with the spiced coating and you have yourself an amazing dinner now I was stuffed. The other great part was the price, this place is very reasonable, and it's a must go to! read more
