    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just a nice casual place to grab some coffee, eggs, and meat for breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 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

    My family has visited Gelato Joe's for many years. The first time we went the food, service, and…read moreatmosphere was incredible. We were welcomed like family. Over the years we have seen a steady decline in the upkeep of the restaurant, the service staff checking on customers and the food quality. The one item that has gone up exponentially is the cost of everything on the menu. We have continued to spend money here out of some false sense of nostalgia in hopes to see this place rebound. The picture I have included is a broken dish our food was served in. Luckily it was noticed before anyone in our party cut their hands on the protruding shards. The only reason I am giving this review 3 stars is because the live music performance by The Heat at the time we stopped in kept us there. I highly recommend looking them up and planning a night out to see them.

I selected the strawberry salad which was also terrific. Our family loved this place. For dessert, they had a dozen plus flavors of gelatos and pastries. We also tried their cannolis. There was one chocolate dipped cannoli left and I fully believe no cannoli should be left alone. If you've never had a chocolate dipped cannoli in your life, you'll experience the same life changed moment I went through after taking my first bite. If you're in Foley or nearby, this is the place to eat at if you're in the mood for Italian food. It was worth every penny we spent.

    The photos of the egg sandwich don't do it justice. The egg muffin appears to be sous vide or…read morepossibly baked. The flavor is good due to the fact it's not just an egg. The egg muffin contains cheese, onion and peppers. Make sure to ask for some jelly, it came in its own little plastic cup which makes me believe it is either homemade or local. The english muffin is toasted and has melted cheese, which they did a very great job at melting. You also have a choice of sausage, bacon or ham to add onto the sandwich. Last summer I tried it with bacon and this year with sausage. Last year I ordered one, finished it, then ordered a second one. I was either starving or this is a top 5 breakfast sandwich I have ever had. They also have homemade cakes, pies and cookies. I tried a homemade peanut butter cookie last summer which was very good. The bagels are also good. They come with cream cheese which is very good as well. It is a dairy we never heard of it however, some of the best cream cheese we have eaten. We tend to stay away from big name brands. Happy Pappy's also offers fun spins on drinks and coffee. We haven't strayed away from their hot latte yet however, the Marilyn Monroe and Tiramisu Latte sound really good and coffee's we will try in the future.

Everyone working there was genuinely friendly & made the experience even better. I also loved how many options they had on the menu. Whether you're looking for coffee, another specialty drink, or something to eat, there's a great variety to choose from. I ordered the iced Tiramisu Latte with oat milk because tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated, although I was hoping for a stronger tiramisu flavor. Even so, it was enjoyable, & I'm already looking forward to going back to try the Honey Bee next time! My Mom tried the Marilyn Monroe (iced with oat milk) & enjoyed hers as well. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back, whether you're meeting a friend, getting a little work done, or just enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
