Love the mural!
Carroll V.

Soul food not to be missed although old patternJim Crow segregation can make Mae's easy to miss. It's not near downtown but very close to the historic Jefferson school on Elm Street on the south outskirts of town. The wonderful mural and blue painted exterior will catch your eye! A true neighborhood institution with young and old, black and white, business folks and retirees. Everyone is welcome. And boy do they come--for the food! I had meatloaf, creamed potatoes and chicken casserole--chunks of tender chicken spiced and mixed with noodles in a rich spicy sauce. Awesome! My colleagues had burgers and crinkle fries. Prepared fresh, they took awhile but OMG what juicy hand patted huge burgers they were! Do t order unless you are hungry! Drinks are sodas and tea only but who cares. The food is just Delta plus awesome.

Fried catfish, baked beans, greens!! Delicious!

It was catfish Friday and the catfish was awesome!! It is a cash only place but that's ok. Everyone was very friendly. It's an older building and might look like something you would drive by, at least from the outside. But it is nice and clean in the inside. It's definitely worth the stop! I had catfish, baked beans and greens! Those were the best greens I've ever eaten!! The place was busy, which was nice to see. If you are in the area or passing thru, give them a try!!

Best burger in Blytheville.

5 stars times a million!!!…read more I was visiting my dad's for his birthday. I visited back in August and I'm still thinking about it. Before my flight back to California I needed one final southern meal (no good southern cookin on the west coast.) I am so happy I chose this place. First the staff, 10/5 stars!!! We didn't realize they were closing soon (about 30 minutes from the time of arrival) and showed up. The staff not only didn't even mention it but generously accommodated us! When we realized, we apologized and they were so kind and understanding. Now the food. WOW! So grateful I listened to my gut because I saved the best for last. We ordered a spread of food. Catfish, yams, fried chicken, collard greens, cobbler, etc. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Catfish was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Each bite almost made me cry tears of joy. Home cooked taste but from the friend/family member that can tear it up in the kitchen. You can taste the love, dedication and pride. The prices are worth it for the quality and quantity. The atmosphere was welcoming and chill. Definitely a good spot for a family dinner/lunch after church. Again staff were so warm and kind. Overall we had an amazing experience. If I lived closer it would absolutely be on my rotation. If you live nearby make it yours. You will not regret supporting this small business. I will be back as soon as I can!

I'm here to tell y'all right now... MS. JACKIE MAE's FOOD IS FIRE!!!!…read more Everything was well cooked and the sweet tea was actually sweet and Jackie Mae herself was so so welcoming! Definitely going back!

The place is nice. The service is welcoming, but the food would be a choice if you didn't feel…read morelike cooking. I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there. The texture, the powdery residual taste and the wait time leaves me at this place being a one time experience at the least and a, "if I had to" at the most.

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was so much better that I expected and it resolved…read moremy rather bad day. I ordered the catfish with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience
