Mae's Place

Excellent breakfast food at good prices. Really fast service and pleasant waitstaff.

Though I've lived close by for a while, I finally decided today to try Mae's Place, and I regret waiting so long to do it. My mom went a few days ago and said she had a great wrap and some amazing sweet potato fries (this coming from a woman who isn't really a fan of sweet potato fries.) So anyways, I went for breakfast and tried the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup. Hands down, the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Holy moly. A nice tang from the lemon and ricotta, sweet blueberry syrup, and a burst of freshness from some blueberries sprinkled on top. And of course, gotta have some whipped cream on top to really set it all off. I also got a side of home fries and they were, as my boyfriend and I say, the "good home fries" as in not the fried little cubes of flavorless potatoes, but rather, deliciously seasoned sauteed potatoes. Again I'll say, I regret not visiting Mae's sooner and I can't wait to go back.

What an unexpected gem we found on our way home from Newport. The jalapeno hash was excellent, not too spicy, and loved the bacon in it. Husband had the traditional eggs benny and the side of home fries were crispy. Will be sure to stop in again the next time we drive through.

Their food is so good! The Johnny cakes are the best! If you like your omelets not over cooked stop in!

My wife and I are omelet fans so on our recent visit to Mae’s Place we both ordered one of the house omelets with home fries. I had to try a side of the biscuits and sausage gravy as well. Our omelets were huge and the home fries were outstanding! The omelets were cooked perfectly…moist and not dried out with an ample amount of fillings. Many times, we find that home fries are grilled with an excess of paprika and garlic flavor, but Mae’s were perfectly seasoned. I also detected a little hint of what I am guessing is cayenne to bring just the right amount of spice for a breakfast potato. Ever since having biscuits and gravy in the South I’ve been hooked, and Mae’s were a pleasant surprise. The biscuits were flakey, and the gravy was thick and loaded with ground sausage. They also have a selection of bagels and delicious looking homemade muffins. We will definitely be back soon as I am looking forward to trying their Johnny Cakes as well as one of those tasty looking muffins. Breakfast is our favorite meal and Mae's Place is our new favorite breakfast spot! Well done Cassie and John!
