Huevos rancheros
Sherry L.

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.

Monte Cristo & Potato Hash
Amy C.

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.

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.

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.

Mae's Favorite Salad w/ chicken. Delicious!!

Cute little diner. We went during Downtown's Spooktacular. They were pretty busy but handled everything very gracefully. FYI Big portions! We will definitely be going back!

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

Corned Beef Hash
Mary M.

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.

Love this place! The soups are amazing. It's definitely a few steps up from your standard deli or diner, and it's super cute inside!

I've got a lot of thoughts on Three Blind Mice, but overall... it's just a really fun place to be…read more First off, when they opened and redid the space, you could tell they actually cared. It doesn't feel thrown together at all. The finishes, the vibe, even the way everything flows... it's just nice. And the outdoor patio?? Huge. Like, you can actually breathe out there and not feel packed in. I love that there are different levels with bands and different energy depending on what you're in the mood for. That said... the upstairs is LOUD. Like borderline "I can't hear the person next to me" loud lol. Maybe I'm just getting old but wow. Drinks are where they shine. Stick with beer or whiskey and you're golden. Food used to be rough, not gonna lie, but I gave it another shot recently and it was actually really good this time, so that was a pleasant surprise. Service has always been solid for me. Nothing over the top, just consistently good. Overall, it's one of those places you go knowing you'll have a good time, even if it gets a little chaotic. I'll def keep coming back.

Didn't have a ton of beers on tap but what they did have was cold. They have an upstairs and also have entertainment on weekends. Our server was super nice and was legit Irish.

Just had an absolutely wonderful time at Emerson's. Not only was all the food fresh and delicious,…read morebut the owner and waitress were fantastic company. Reggie and Michelle were kind and wonderful to talk with. I sat at the bar with my 3 year old who loved watching Reggie cook and Michelle treated him like one of her own. It easily will become a regular place for me to visit. I ordered the Veggie Omelette with Rye toast and it was all prepared using fresh local produce. My son had pancakes and bacon. If you want pancakes that are perfectly fluffy and melt in your mouth, this is the place to get them. The food came fast, but was a much, much higher quality than "fast food". I love the hole-the-wall, homey feel of this place that fits well with the charm of Mount Clemens.

Today , instead of driving by and saying the parking lot was kind of empty , my son and I went in. The food was amazing! Priced well and great portions. Real sourdough bread. The best piece of ham that I've had in years at a restaurant! Good quality sausage and bacon too. The hash browns and pancakes were yummy! Good simple, delicious well made dishes! My son hardly talked as he ate. Best pancakes around! The building is clean and may need some love but the food....is delish! Shout out to their friendly staff. Support our local small mom and pop restaurants.
