    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.

    Awesome small mom & pop type diner. Good size servings & good pricing! The biscuits were amazing! Also the fried egg & bologna was great!

    Open kitchen for all to see!

    Perfect diner experience. Old bldg and eclectic decor. Service is great and food was delicious! Highly recommend for a real country meal and experience.

    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.

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 had to wait about 15mins for a table which was fine bc it was dinner time and it's a popular spot. We sat down and it wasn't 2 mins when the Famous rolls came out. The young man who threw them was super nice and I swear he should be in the MLB, he's got an arm on him I tell ya. Honey caught his roll with no issues. I caught mine straight in the chest and it exploded. It looked a little worse for the wear but BOY WAS IT GOOD!!!! Our server was super friendly and got everything out to us quickly. There were various servers with fried okra, macaroni and tomato's, black eyed peas, and other amazing sides. My only complaint was that they wouldn't serve me from the kids menu. I had a medical procedure that doesn't allow for me to eat much and the server said she wasn't allowed to serve me from that menu. Aside from that, everything else was amazing and we had a blast. We loved it!!!

Place is buzzing but he was right on point. Food.... Ok, I've paid more for less. Food not the of the quality I remembered. But, what hasn't changed in 15+ years. If I remember the chicken fried steak back then was hand breaded. They're now converted to the Sysco style commercial available item. Not different than what you'd buy at Sam's. Whipped potatoes were definitely instant. The rolls were hot and fresh and as advertised served in a unique fashion. The "pass around" they bring to the table add to the uniqueness of eating there. Kind of a Cracker Barrel vibe with similar to slightly better food. Definitely a lot more going on in the dining room than Cracker Barrel. Tourist Trap, Definitely. Tourist Trap worth the experience? Yes. Not a place I'd eat every time I'm down here, but there are lots of places with worse food which you'll pay a lot more for. A place you should try at least once. If not nothing else to improve your baseball or softball catching techniques.

Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens.

Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.
