    This is exactly what I was looking for. I like a nice local breakfast spot where the people serving the food know the locals who eat there. It's just a nice casual place to grab some coffee, eggs, and meat for breakfast. Nothing fancy here. Self-serve coffee station, and your order at the counter. They do bring the food to your table, though.

    Awesome small mom & pop type diner. Good size servings & good pricing! The biscuits were amazing! Also the fried egg & bologna was great!

    My first time here, thanks to my Yelp friend Kim M

    November marked six months since this local  family owned and operated restaurant opened in a former garage that's been transformed into a clean, warm and welcoming spot that's fast becoming a popular place for locals and visitors. Mae-Maes Joint in Foley serves fresh made to order breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches, and more. It's located at on the SE corner of County Roads 65 & 12 at 8690 Co Rd 65 and is open from 6am to 2pm Tuesday through Saturday and closed Sunday & Monday with breakfast available until 2PM.  I have been there on multiple occasions and have tried quite a few of their menu items as well as brought a number of friends and neighbors and everyone has enjoyed their experience. The only thing that heard, other than praise, from any of them was their eggs weren't fluffy enough. I guess I'm not the only foodie critic but I don't get scrambled eggs so there's that. :-)  What I have gotten is fried eggs, egg biscuits, breakfast platers, biscuits & gravy, French toast,  BLT's, all the meats and cake of the day and everything I've had has been hot, fresh and tasty. They give you generous portions at a very reasonable prices and always with a smile. The  coffee is also good, and I'm picky about my coffee, and there's juice and other drinks available, including sweet tea. Just order and pay at the counter and they'll bring your order out to your table fresh and hot.  I'm not a categorizing the food here typical "home cooking" or "gourmet" but I will call it "comfort food". I know that's kinda personal, granted, because the nostalgia about food, in general, is mostly specific to an individual, or to a specific culture. But as someone who enjoys everything from home cooking to gourmet, and loves cuisine from around the planet, I always leave Mae Mae's pleasantly filled and comforted, so yeah comfort food. :-)  Mae Maes Joint also has a Facebook page where you can connect with them and see their latest updates and posts of daily specials too.  https://www.facebook.com/maemaesjoint/ Coming in 2024 their adding a fry room with lots of new menu offerings including seafood, chicken, fries, okra, and a whole lot more. Don't forget to give them a LIKE on Facebook to keep up with daily specials and news.  On a personal note, It was sad day when a local iconic restaurant, Biscuit King, shuttered its doors in July and, for me, their huge cathead biscuits were fantastic. But alas, the scratch made buttermilk biscuits here are some of the best I've had and are fit for a King. If that wasn't enough to make me a fan their sausage gravy is excellent and makes for the best biscuits and gravy around, so I'm a super fan :-)  Bottom line: If you are looking for a cozy and delicious breakfast and lunch place with good food, service and friendly folks in Foley, check  out Mae-Maes Joint. Highly recommended!! https://www.facebook.com/maemaesjoint/

    It's been 6 years since my 4 star and gotta report that this spot is a solid 5 and continuing to…read moreimpress!!! ​My honey and I were already regular locals back then, but over the years they have somehow continue to kick things another level when you're not paying attention :-); The Philly cheesesteaks are still the absolute gold standard around here, which is saying a lot coming from someone who used to live right in Philadelphia and knows the real deal. I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26

    Great service, fantastic mai tai, excellent cheesesteaks. The Caesar salad was the best I've had in…read more20 years, except the family didn't like it had tomatoes (they were great). Wonderful place to go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyplace else has 1 to 2 hour waits. We will definitely be back!

    I recently visited the Firehouse Subs location in Foley. Upon entering the restaurant, the cashier…read morewas polite and provided good customer service as I placed my order. However, I am writing to express my concern regarding how a situation involving myself and another customer was handled by members of your staff. The disagreement amongst customers did not involve the business and we were outside! During the interaction, a male employee came outside and directed inappropriate and disrespectful remarks. He then returned inside the restaurant. When I approached the entrance and asked that he refrain from involving himself in the situation, the interaction escalated. At that point, both the tall and looked malnourished employee and an extremely short male staff member, whom I believe may have been a manager, began yelling inappropriate remarks at me. In response, I raised my voice as well. I believe management should have ensured that employees remained professional and did not involve themselves in a personal dispute that was taking place outside the restaurant. Instead of helping to de-escalate the situation, the employees' actions appeared to contribute to the escalation of the incident. As a paying customer, I was disappointed by the lack of professionalism displayed. While my experience with the cashier was positive, the overall atmosphere created by this incident reflected poorly on the establishment and left me questioning whether I would choose to return in the future. I hope this matter will be reviewed and that appropriate steps will be taken to reinforce Professional Conduct and Customer Service standards among ALL Staff. I would also like to recommend the business obtain background checks and REGULAR drug screenings on their employees because the involvement of the staff was not necessary in an already hostile situation the DID NOT involve them!!
