    Lunch menu highly over priced.
    Gene I.

    We visited for the first time yesterday to give the restaurant a try. We were given the lunch menu, which surprised us since I didn't see any lunch-specific pricing. We all ordered the burger, which had a base price of $15.99. They asked if we wanted fries or onion rings--I chose the onion rings--but we weren't told there was an additional charge of $1.99 for them. We also added grilled jalapeños, which had a $1.00 upcharge. The burger itself was good quality, though it was heavily salted. With lighter seasoning, it would've been great. You're also expected to choose your own toppings and add them to your burger yourself. We asked for mustang and mayo, but they only had Grey Poupon and no regular American mustard. By the time I was done, with tip, lunch came to over $28.00. Ouch!

    My birthday with family and my granddaughter.

    The food and service were outstanding. We had the best steaks we have ever had or remember. One was ribeye and the other was filet Mignon. We found this jewel in Terrell, Tx! The place was beautiful inside. We will return with more family next time!

    Monte cristo.
    Gloria J.

    The food was great! Blueberry biscuits with glaze toasted almost like cake. So delicious The waitress was very attentive and friendly. She knew the menu inside and out and her recommdation for dessert was spot on! I loved this place the moment we walked in the door. It is very pretty and wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Plenty of parking on the side.

    Raw Omelette
    Christina H.

    I had high hopes for this place. I was excited to know there was a local place that we didn't have to drive too far to get brunch. I was wrong.... We opted in for the buffet. Not too bad of a start. They had mini monte cristo, eggs, bacon, rosemary potatoes and biscuits and gravy. The second round was when it all fell apart. They ran out of plates and had little to none food left. I decided to get an omelette since most of the food was depleted. The cook was courteous but really needs to spend some more time on presentation and cooking times. As you can see from my picture, my omelette is raw. I'm not sure what technique he was using but he never flipped my omelette over to cook the other side. When he slid it on the plate he then used the bottom of the pan and pressed it against the omelette to I'm not sure what he was doing. I didn't even try to eat the omelette and we just asked for the check. To top it off we asked for an iced coffee flight in the beginning. They told us they weren't sure if they had any left but ended bringing us one half done. It was missing the homemade whipped cream on the top that it came with. I was sad because I saw anther table receive theirs and it was garnished with whip and looked beautiful. The server did end up bringing a soup cup filled with whipped cream after but we were halfway done with the coffee by then. We tried Lula Mae, but we will not be returning.

    Steak & mashed potatoes

    Lula Mae's is in downtown Terrell and is super cute with exposed brick & a good vibe. It's decorated to be nice, but not snooty. The bartender is great and they have a variety of mixed drinks. I don't remember the name of the one I tried, but it was yummy! The food was delicious as well. My steak was cooked to perfection-tender and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes are definitely homemade and they are delightful! The crème brûlée cheesecake was a perfect finish as it was rich and delectable. Service was great & our server was good with explanations & recommendations. I hope Lula Mae's is here to stay!!

    My son Ricky just started bartending & serving here and they are working diligently to work out all the kinks to provide y'all the utmost memorable dining experience. If you haven't tried them yet, you should. Just remember to be patient while knowing that Beverly and all her staff appreciate y'all.

    Chicken Cesar wrap!

    Went during soft opening, very quiet could hear everyone's conversations. Food did take awhile but everything was fresh. Given they are in a soft opening I was impressed. Def going back!

    Lightly blackened salmon with their very special broccoli cheese and rice casserole.

Food: Chicken fried steak/ Grilled pork chop there were no complaints. Good portions for the cost and definitely seemed fresh. Even the sides were delicious and fresh tasting.

And whenever we take a drive like that, we make it our mission to find a highly rated local lunch spot. This one was on the way home and looked promising, so in we went. I will say this for Texas. Onion rings are everywhere here, far more than when I lived in California. I will happily take that as a win, because the heat for about nine months of the year is not my jam. Sadly, the onion rings were not listed as one of the many sides (so we couldn't get them as a side with our meal), but we ordered them as an appetizer ($8.99 I think) with blue cheese dressing. I am not a ranch girlie, and I stand by that choice. The blue cheese had huge chunks in it, which makes me think it might be house made (bonus point!). Now, the rings. I am firmly Team "Battered" Onion Ring over Team "Breaded", and these absolutely delivered on the team battered. They were almost chicken-fried, -- super craggly, crispy, and deeply satisfying. These were the star of the meal, so do yourself a favor and order them - but you need a friend to share them with, its a heavy portion. They also have great lunch specials, most around eleven dollars. I got the pot roast with two sides, refried beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. After indulging in the onion rings, I was not exactly starving, so I ended up with enough leftovers for another full meal. The pot roast was nicely shredded and tender, and the gravy was rich, flavorful, and worth every calorie. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak, (he's obviously on a diet!), with fried okra and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was forgettable, but everything else on his plate was solid. Service was friendly and efficient, and this place definitely fills up at lunch, so plan accordingly. A very good roadside stop, and proof that sometimes the best meals happen when you are just out running errands.

I placed an online order through their website for the following: Two (2) 3-piece fried chicken wing dinners with two sides each, priced at $9.99 each as advertised online One (1) catfish dinner Shortly after submitting my order, I received a phone call from a representative stating that I had been undercharged. I was told the online price was an error and that the wings were actually supposed to be $17.99 each, not the price listed on their own website. They wanted to recharge me an additional amount for a price that was not advertised online. I was honestly shocked. I paid exactly what their website reflected at the time of purchase. After speaking with a manager, I was told I had only two options: pay the upcharge or receive a full refund. I chose the refund. What was most disappointing is that the restaurant did not honor their advertised price, even though the mistake was theirs--not mine. I did not argue or request they honor the price because I don't feel comfortable having food prepared when there is already a disagreement or questionable business practice involved. As a result, I've placed Ida Mae's on my "do not dine" list. I believe in fair and honest business practices, and this experience fell short of that standard.
