Stopped into Mae's for breakfast and couldn't believe it took us this long to try it. It's a small diner style spot with seating both inside and outside. Everything is made in small batches and house made, which really shows in the quality. You order at the counter and they bring your food out when it's ready. We got coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes, and the breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious and the portions were filling. The staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations. We can't wait to come back and try lunch! read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. This place is in the heart of downtown Mount Clemens; it's not the biggest establishment but mighty. The servers were beyond friendly, personal, and attentive. When you walk in, you'll order at the counter and then sit at any open seat. Then, the server brings your food. I ended up getting the Fried Southern Chicken sandwich with chips and a Diet Coke. The sandwich was not overbearing or too heavy. The sandwich was made with a coleslaw, pickles, and mayo, which brought a good pair and provided a good balance of taste. Once you're done, you leave your plate at the table and the server will collect it. Overall, I loved this place and would love to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Tucked away in a downtown area of restaurants and shops. We live an hour away and try to visit this place as often as possible because the food and service is that good. Everything is made fresh to order and comes out hot and delicious. read more

Wow!!! This was a great restaurant. Very clean on the inside. Employees were kind. Food was most excellent! Truly the best food we have had in awhile. My dad got the pancakes which were so fluffy. I got Mae's breakfast (eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, and Asiago toast). My boyfriend and mom got the slim hammie. Everything was fresh & delicious. Will definitely be returning! read more

There are not enough words to describe how delicious this huevos rancheros was this morning. I opted to substitute the chorizo with sausage links, so it wasn't too spicy. The cilantro sour cream is just delicious. Everything about it had a perfect flavor in every bite. read more

I am a regular on the weekend and have never had a bad experience in the past 4+ years of coming to Mae's. Always treated with a warm welcome and smiling faces. Food is excellent and have tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed with anything. read more

The food is amazing! We love stopping by. They provide great service. You order your food first at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. The ambiance is welcoming. read more

After so many FB posts finally made it into Mae's. Cute little shop. Lady at the counter was pleasant at first. She seemed a little annoyed that I asked for my sandwich to be wrapped in two separate boxes... I ordered the monte cristo and a Maurice salad. I've read so much about monte cristos lately, I couldn't wait to try it. It's definitely a sweet & savory sandwich, and although it was tasty, it was on the sweet side for me, for most, it probably wouldn't be. My sister prefers the jam on the side, not in the sandwich. I did like the potatoes it came with. The salad was good, but could've used more toppings, imho. I wouldn't hesitate to return, they have a couple other things on the menu I'd try. read more

A friend recommended this place for breakfast. I like to frequent places in Downtown Mt. Clemens. Ordered at the counter and the food is brought out to you. The young lady at the counter was pleasant. I ordered the eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached perfectly the hollandaise was very good. I really liked the red skin potatoes. The dining area was clean. I had very good experience. read more

While I'm unemployed I have the freedom to check out new dining places during the non-busy hours. Mom and I drove in from Sterling Heights to check out Mae's as we love biscuits and gravy and we heard they made the best version of it here. We arrived around 10:30am on Wednesday. There is limited parking and you have to pay .25 cents for every 15 minutes. The limited parking isn't a problem for those that can walk but mom can barely handle walking a few feet. Since it was slow time we had no problem finding a spot right outside their door. For most people not having a booth or chairs that have sides for the arms there is no issue, but again, with mom it was difficult for her to land in a hard seat with no arms. I brought her pillow and assisted her as she got in her seat. Mom is 84 and has severe arthritis and Parkinson's ; she is vibrant but really needs the creature comforts when she dines out. Eating out is our 'big outing' so we enjoy trying new places to eat at. I was surprised to learn we had to order at the counter, had to order water in a bottle, got our coffee in a paper cup - but hey, it's all fun in the trying new places so no biggie. The coffee was strong, smooth and very good. Since we arrived when no one was there our food was delivered in a timely manner, was served hot and was delicious! The scrambled eggs were fluffy and very tasty. Mom really enjoyed her biscuits and gravy. The cook/chef is very good. I loved my meal but was surprised at how full I was after eating just half my meal. I requested a to-go box and was presented with one of those god-awful, 'save-the-environment' cardboard, flap the tops over each other boxes. No thanks, I left my food there as I know from past experience, my food ends up tasting like cardboard and the lid pops open risking my food falling out. Great addition to the downtown Mt. Clemens vibe. We are glad that we tried it but we will leave it to the young, healthy downtown crowd. read more

Service was good but the food was not good. I ordered the huevos rancheros and they came out cold. The cheese on it was ripped up slices of cheese that weren't even slightly melted because the rest of the food wasn't even slightly warm. My boyfriend had the corn beef hash. He said it was fatty and just tasted like shredded ham, not a lot of flavor. We both had the potatoes which were overcooked. Disappointed, we will not be returning here. read more

Great overall vibe with incredibly friendly staff. The food was delicious, arrived fast and with good portions. I'll be back! read more

So excited to find a new breakfast option close to home. We opted for the corned beef hash and southern fried chicken and egg. Both meals were exceptional. Staff members were kind and food came out hot and fresh. For newbie's: you place your order at the counter and then sit down. They definitely worked on maximizing their space for seating. Will absolutely be back and can't wait to try other items. read more

Got a takeout from this little downtown Mt Clemens spot the other morning, and I was very disappointed. Why? Because I hadn't tried this place sooner! It's fantastic! Mae's is only open for breakfast and lunch, and the menu reflects that with lots of interesting and delicious sounding items to choose from. I chose the (3) basic buttermilk pancakes, made with sweet cream and served with cinnamon butter and maple syrup. They weren't basic though - they were actually the best pancakes I've ever had. They smelled incredible, and they were big and fluffy and perfect. I forgot to take a photo, I was hungry, haha. The cinnamon butter was a perfect touch (thank you for serving butter that's not cold and rock hard!) and they provide a generous serving of warm (thank you for this too) maple syrup on the side. Highly recommend, I'll be back :) read more

Outstanding Maurice salad! Most authentic to the Hudson's salad! Great service and vibe!

Food is good & was prepared in a timely fashion. I work across the street & was surprised at how rude the cashier was. For this alone, I will not return. read more

We had a week day off and decided to try Mae's. They had GF bread. Breakfast was expensive for the product. Environment was clean and cute. The location is not large. We ordered at the counter. Service was okay. read more

Stumbled on to this place on a Sunday morning. The southern chicken and gravy is out of this world. Planning a lunch visit next. Great food and very friendly staff read more

Really good food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, coffee was pretty good. Great breakfast/brunch spot. Would recommend

It was okay. More like a self order deli. Staff was friendly. Didn't supply ice for our drinks.......said they don't have ice. Odd. Maurice salad was satisfactory but wasn't wowed by it read more

Mae's is one of my favorite spots in Downtown Mt. Clemens. It's a small little Cafe with just a few tables. You order at the counter and they bring your meal out to you when ready. They serve breakfast and lunch until close. My favorite thing on the menu is the Derby salad, it's sort of like a Cobb salad but the dressing is Devine. My husband absolutely loves their biscuits and gravy. So many great options. And if you're gluten free like me, they do have GF bread available for sandwiches and a lot of the times one of the soups is also GF, just ask! The only downside is they don't have fountain drinks, just bottled soda and bottled water. Oh and they serve great coffee because it's from Black Cat across the street! read more

O.M.G. What a tasty treat and find. Had a wonderfully prepared Eggs Benedict with a rarity, perfectly poached eggs! Our other dish was the biscuits and gravy and it came with 3 rashers of thick cut, tasty bacon and 2 eggs. The cook knows his way around a flatiron and proved it. Cannot find a fault. The young lady running the counter was welcoming and charming. Very knowledgeable about the small but eclectic menu. If you're anywhere near Mt Clemens you would be doing yourself a favour by stopping by. read more

The egg Benedict's are my favorite!!! Make sure you try them on your next visit! This is the first breakfast spot my dad and I went to after moving to Macomb read more

Yes pleeeeeease! What a treat this breakfast was. The southern fried chicken and eggs is something I would honestly never order, because I realize that I am overly picky about gravy and all things gravy adjacent. Buuut the boy ordered this and it was 1000000%. Totally floored at how perfectly savory it was. And the jalapeño toast! And the crispy potatoes! And the perfectly poached eggs! You get the idea. Big breakfast wins here. read more

Brought back childhood memories when my mom would take us on the Gratiot bus to do back to school shopping and have lunch at the Hudson u river view dining room. What a treat to have the Maurice salad or their chicken pot pies! I have had almost every single thing on their menu. Excellent service even when they are very busy early in the morning. One of our favorites! read more

First time at Mae's and it was amazing. The aesthetic was cozy yet modern vintage. Amazing customer service, the general manager was excited to talk about the menu which made us eager to try the food. The Tex-Mex breakfast bowl was drool worthy. Homemade redskin potato hash, egg, chorizo, pepper Jack cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro lime sour cream and made fresh with each order tortilla chips! I will be back soon to try more!!! read more

Bare bones type of coffee shop feel. Order at counter- cashier brings to your table. 3-4 small tables outside. Only 2 other people in attendance- food took 25-minutes to arrive, well worth the wait. Ordered Tex mex Mexican bowl, two extra scrambled eggs. Delicious and more than enough for two. No tap water served - bottled water only.quite a blend in the bowl, with just enough spice. read more

If you're in downtown Mt. Clemens I highly recommend you check this place out!! Only open Wednesday - Sunday from 9 to 3, I promise you won't be disappointed in their food. Everything is so fresh and by far some of the best breakfast food we've had. The first time we went I got the corned beef hash and my husband got the southern fried chicken and eggs. Next time we want to try some of their lunch items. SO good!!! read more

Food was great but the woman was rude and not happy. Drove miles to try them out and dissatisfied with service but food was great

Decided it was a good morning to take a stroll through Mt Clemens. This place happened to be our destination based on recommendations. So why not? We're always on the lookout for good food and this little place didn't disappoint. The menu is small but has just enough to cater to most tastes. I had the breakfast bowl. It was well prepared with fresh ingredients and a bit of a twist with Avocado Crema and chorizo tossed with redskin potatoes and finished with pepper Jack cheese pico de Gallo and your style of eggs. The coffee was robust, and the service was prompt and efficient. If you happen to be in Mt Clemens and your looking for something a bit more flavorful and creative than the standard Coney Island Fare, give Mea's a try, you'll be happy you did. read more

Ran up to the county building early one Friday and was hungry for breakfast after my meeting. Jumped on Yelp and it lead me here. I walked in and was greeted quickly by a friendly young woman with a smile and an explanation of how it works here (diner style, order at counter, then sit). Ordered the corned beef hash and a pancake with a coffee. The cornbeef was seasoned perfectly. The red skins were soft and tasty but could have used some more grill time. Most cornbeef dishes are mainly spuds and onions and light on the corned beef, but not this dish! I'd guess it was 70% corned beef and delish! Also the eggs were nicely poached and went great with the dish. The pancake was thick and fluffy, came with cinnamon butter and hot syrup. Ahhhhh-mazing. Glad I listened to Yelp on this one. Will come back again! Also the music was great when I was in there. (Goldy oldies) read more

This is a really cute brunch place in downtown Mt Clemens. I was worried they would be too small to accommodate a group of 5 but it was no problem. My husband said, " I don't think I could come here and order something other than the Tex-Mex bowl because its so good". I thought the hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was too lemony and my husband didnt get his jalapeno toast. Also the lady behind the counter wanted to argue with me about Yelp so I knocked off a star. If anyone can edit anyone's Yelp review, feel free to change this to 5 stars and delete this sentence. read more

I got take out from here for lunch today. It was an amazing treat in the middle of my workday. First off the presentation was unexpectedly cute. I am used to traditional Styrofoam container, these were cute waxed boxes. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the side salad. The chicken was a large piece and you can tell it was hand battered and fried. The house made come slaw was everything. Added nice tang to the sandwich and balance the fried chicken. The bun was perfect, not to big. The salad was a very nice surprise of special treats in there. Feta, crispy chick peas, I think it was sweet potato fried strips and Nice vinaigrette. This is a place I will go back for sure. They take those regular lunch menu items and kick them up a notch. read more
