Daisy Mae’s

Tess was my server and she was absolutely amazing!! She gave me so much helpful advice about things to do in New Orleans. Everyone who works here is so kind and accommodating. The food was great as well and it was such a homey environment. I will definitely return!!!

It was late and we needed food. A whole day of travel and tourism and we were tapped. The hotel staff told us Daisy Mae's was open until 5 am so we were in. We walked in and Megan greeted us and sat us right down. The vibe was nice. Local history in the walls, TVs on the Olympics and a hometown sit down bar.

The menu said they are know for their chicken and waffles so all four us got a variation. I orders the all white. The menu photos lied, the food looked way better in person. Two wings and a humongous breast.

Now I've eaten a lot of fried chicken in my life so take this with respect. This is second to NONE outside of my wife's chicken. I've had Kentucky fried chicken in Louisville and this blew it away. Crisp, juicy and hot. The skin had a slight garlic flavor and was spiced to perfection. The waffles were the perfect mix of crisp and moist. We clean plated all four plates.

It was so good I came back for breakfast. Shrimp and grits are on point. Shrimp had a nice grilled crisp and creole spice. The rue that they uses was slightly sweet and savory. The grits were good, just not as creamy as I would make. I still wanted a second order though.

Do yourself a favor and visit Daisy Mae's

While staying nearby I stopped in here for breakfast one morning, as I was seeking a country-style breakfast. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and engaging which I found very nice. The menu is loaded with many nice options, I chose their Mae's Breakfast Sandwich, which was fried chicken on a waffle with a side of sausage gravy.

The waffle was incredible! Very tasty and made very fresh! The chicken in the sandwich was also awesome!! The sausage gravy was a basic, very white style which isn't really what I'm partial too, but it tasted ok. I also tried a side of their red beans and rice and that was pretty darn tasty!

Overall, I really enjoyed this visit and would recommend stopping in!

Food was tasty
Service was on point
Portions were huge
Price was right
Chicken was seasoned really good and my pancakes were yummy
The tomatoes were ok.

My overall rating should've been 3.5 mainly because of the not-so-great service. However there are no 1/2 stars so I guess it's closer to 3.

What I liked...
1. We were seated fast (place was a bit empty maybe coz it's not in the French Quarter)
2. The fried chicken was wow -- the batter was seasoned well and crispy, the chicken pieces were moist and delicious.
3. The alligator omelette was okay and lacked alligator sausage; the side of grits was tasty.
4. The place was clean.

What I didn't like:
1. Service was lackluster. The server wasn't forthcoming when I ordered my omelette and requested a biscuit (an option on the menu). When my order was delivered to my table, it came with white toast. When I asked for my biscuit, she said that they didn't have any or they didn't offer it. That was disappointing.
She also wasn't attentive in refilling our glasses and we had to call for someone's attention multiple times for anything.

Stopped in for lunch. I honestly had never heard of this little place so while waiting for our table I read over the reviews. Felt a little nervous since some reviews were not that good. Happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by my chicken and waffles. Those waffles were literally some of the best I've ever had. They could have been a touch crispier for me but since it's a personal preference I will not count it against them. I chose the chicken tenders and I felt they were seasoned well, very fresh and hot! Also a big portion of chicken! Our waitress was nice and efficient! They could spruce up the dining area a little. Most definitely hope to return soon!

So while I was walking back from Mothers I was still hungry, so I stopped into Daisy Mae's since it was on my way back to the hotel, plus fried chicken sounded good.

The place is smaller, clean and modern. The tables are close together and I was greeted with a smile by the server. I looked at the menu and picked the two piece fried chicken (breast and thigh) with onion rings. The menu said it could take 20 min since it is freshly fried but I received mine in 10 min. It was hot and fresh.

The fried chicken was a super golden brown, the coating was a wet batter that coated the whole piece and got into all of the crevices. The batter was super crispy. It also was very well seasoned, it had a bit of spice to it, but not too much.

Under that delicious fried coating was amazing chicken. The chicken was very juicy, and I suspect it was brined for the chicken itself tasted seasoned, and a bit salty, but in a good way. The breast, which is usually hard to keep moist was juicy and flavorful, mixed with the spiced coating and you have yourself an amazing dinner now I was stuffed. The other great part was the price, this place is very reasonable, and it's a must go to!

Great service and great fried green tomatoes. Thank you for the service and clean restaurant.

No complaints from this cute little spot. I was on vacation and looking for a good spot to have breakfast. Stumbled upon this place and was definitely satisfied. I got the chicken and waffles and the portion was huge! My guy got an omelette and it was stuffed! Layla helped us during our visit and she was extremely polite, helpful and overall created a pleasant experience. I liked the artwork on the walls also.

So let's get this out the way, the food is good! I was headed to get beignets and I saw chicken and waffles and I had to stop. WHO DOESN'T LOVE CHICKEN AND WAffles??

It's a small locally owned place, and of course they have some Nola faves on the menu, but I can't pass up trying chicken and waffles!

The waffles themselves were perfect! Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside! Nice sweetness! The chicken was juicy! Crispy and greasy- in a good way!

The service isn't what you are going for here! They are nice, but I'm assuming that they get busy with business peeps and Tourists! So gotta keep em fed and moving!

The dining space is small but decorated with local flare and artist work!

I say flock!
