Smothered pork chop entree

If you're reading this review and looking for some good food, priced right and paired with friendly customer service you've found it. Stop looking right now and head on over to Ida Mae's in Waxahatchie. The food was hot and incredibly delicious. My husband had their smothered pork chops and I ordered the fried catfish they were both 5 stars entrees and very generous portions. Satisfaction guaranteed! Treat yourself or cheat yourself!

2 piece catfish w/ collard greens, yams and 2 piece chicken wings

Do you recommend this business? ABSOLUTELY!!!! I am so glad that I came across this location. I initially came here wanting some oxtails, but learned that that entree and other southern classics are offered on the weekends only. So instead, I ordered the fried catfish, collard greens, yams and two chicken wings on the side. Everything was seasoned to perfection, cooked thoroughly and tasted nice and fresh. You can tell this location gets a lot of foot traffic by the way people were pulling up and ordering on a regular weekday, and I was so glad to see it . Such friendly workers, with a nice combination of different kinds of people, ranging from young to older people. The guy operating the register either Hispanic or some type of Asian , he was so welcoming and friendly. Happily Answering questions and explaining the menu. I'm not sure if the older black woman that was there present when I was ordering is Ms. Ida Mae. if that was her, that made my visit even more enjoyable/authentic. It's always a plus to see the owners actively working together with their team. Location was really clean and instead of just standing around, the workers were walking around sweeping , wiping down tables and counters. That's always a plus. That shows that they value and respect where they work. And as they should. This establishment also attracts some really kind people/customers. It had to have been maybe 5 different parties ordering food Togo , and everyone was talking and helping each other out with the Menu and the returning customers were also answering questions for us newbies and giving their positive feedback. It was definitely an experience that was had. I can't wait to return and try other things on the menu. ....... 10/10.....

Catfish, mash potatoes, and green beans

Words just can't describe how AMAZING this restaurant is, everything was so delicious and flavorful. Staff, waiter, and all employees were THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

We were greeted as soon as we walked in to this restaurant. It was very clean and we felt comfortable. It did take long for us to receive or food that was hot and taste delicious. I order the baked chicken (dark meat), sweet potato and greens. I plan to make this my new place when wanting soul food

Peeps. If you in Waxahachie fall through and support this intimate soul food restaurant. Portions were small but tasted good. #Pkast

Catfish, Mac and greens with cornbread
Iesha D.

Was searching for a quick spot to eat after looking at homes and came across this spot in Yelp. Small location but plenty of seating. I can imagine a Sunday after church, it's probably packed but for good reason! We were pleasantly surprised with each meal we ordered. I ordered the chicken wings with Mac and greens. Wings weren't fried too hard and the greens were flavored nicely. The Mac was a little more liquidy than my preference. However, it was seasoned well and I still enjoyed the whole thing. The portions were great. The catfish was PHENOMENAL! Seasoned amazing. Would absolutely order it again. This place would see me at least once a week if we make Waxahachie home!

Sunday chicken and dressing special with collard greens, garlic, mashed potatoes, and a cornbread fritter. Excellent!

Sunday, chicken and dressing, with two sides, collard greens and garlic, mashed potatoes, and a cornbread fritter. Excellent!

Fried pork chops, collards and black eyed peas peas

Be patient, everything is prepared fresh and worth the wait. The staff makes everyone feel like old friends. And the sweet tea is respectable

I love soul food!!! This spot did not disappoint. I used to hit the BBQ spot that was at this location and am happy with what it is now. Do yourself a favor and give Ida Mae's a shot.

I go because of the greens and black eyed peas but the pork chops smothered in gravy sends it over the top. I'll be back
