    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.

    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/

I love their menu varieties featuring lunch favorites & classic dinner fanfare featuring soups, salads, pasta & other entrée app offerings. There's a wonderful variety pertaining to their wine & beer lists with specials available at certain times. Last visit was excellent. I brought other family members who joined me from Pittsburgh and were also satisfied with their complete dining experience from service to entrees. They've kept Safai Club's original decor, retaining that theme and giving Savannah their namesake theme. Be sure to check their wonderful selections before reading further. Menu: https://savannatherestaurant.com/menu Their hospitality is impeccable, ensuring our group's needs were met and remaining attentive towards us with a friendly demeanor. Remaining prompt with food & drink orders. Their chefs continue towards remaining flawless in preparing their entrees, which always come served full of flavors. My group's favorite this day was their French onion soup, as 8 other people with us all ordered that & discussed it, recommending it to myself & others within my group. My order was their burger & fries. Their burgers are served flaming hot with char-grilled flavor, juicy, having a moist bun seasoned with perfection & featuring fries prepared hot, crisp, & moist. My group is consistent regulars & will continue coming here on select Fridays or at certain times without us celebrating special occasions or date nights.

The previous original restaurant here at the zoo Safari Club closed and chef, John Davis, from the retired and closed iconic restaurant, Sunset Cork Room, brought some excellent culinary experiences here. Unfortunately, they just closed their doors and the future of this unique venue is uncertain. They posted a heartfelt thank you to patrons and I'm gonna be on the lookout for the chefs and if they will pop up somewhere in the future, they did a great job and thank you all for sharing your expertise and great food!

We love the service and of course the food is so awesome. The friendly weight staff comes around throughout your entire dining experience and provides so many awesome sides in addition to your dinner selections. The staff comes around and brings fried okra, smothered potatoes, and various other delicious southern side dishes. The food is so delicious and definitely remind you of HOME and the variety of menu items are perfect and so so so yummy. The 32 ounce mugs with your drink of choice is hilariously, huge and so generous... we also learned on this trip that you could purchase one of those jugs to go. The ambience is cool. It kinda reminds you of an old country restaurant with wooden benches and historical items, pictures, and memorabilia all throughout the entire restaurant. The biggest part and honestly a fun part for families is this is also the place that's coined "Throw em rolls" where they throw huge hat and fresh dinner rolls to your table so at any time you can see flying rolls throughout the dining room rooms. It's so much fun. I would definitely add this to your list if you are in the area to check out. The food, the service is really great and just a very simple, casual dining experience.

    Lambert's is definitely an experience! I'll admit, when I first heard they literally throw the…read morerolls across the restaurant, I thought it sounded a little strange, but once you're there, it's actually really fun. The rolls come out fresh and hot, and they're really good! They also come around throughout the meal with different "pass-arounds" that they serve right at your table. I tried the fried okra and really enjoyed it. There were several other options being passed around as well, so you definitely won't leave hungry. For my meal, I had the chicken wings and was very pleased. Other family members tried the country-fried steak and shrimp, and everyone seemed happy with their food. The portions are generous, and even the drink cups are GINORMOUS! Service was good and timely, especially considering how busy and lively the restaurant was. It's very family and kid friendly, and you can tell Lambert's has been around for a long time and has become an experience in itself. My biggest recommendation: make a reservation, especially if you're coming with a large group. Without one, you could easily be looking at a 45-minute wait or longer. Overall, I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to experience Lambert's. Good food, good service, a fun atmosphere, and catching a hot roll flying across the restaurant makes for a pretty memorable meal! Definitely worth experiencing at least once.
