Crab burger was delicious. Best onion rings I have ever had. Sweet tea was fresh and not overly sweet. Great meal.

My wife and I were attending a festival in Morgan City and came across this little place by accident. The most amazing downhome food and hospitality! Makes you feel like you were back at Grandma’s house for Sunday dinner. I had fried catfish, potato salad and white beans over rice. My wife had catfish, green beans and Cajun shrimp rice. Everything is home cooked in this tiny place off the beaten path. Structure is filled with awards, articles and pictures from decades of Rita Mae’s cooking. It’s not fancy but I highly recommend it. Specials of the day change so you should be able to find a plate that suits you.

Gentleman that took our order was nice and efficient. Food was amazing, best we have had all week. I ate most of it before taking a picture. The Welcome Center Recommended Rita’s Maes Kitchen said it was family owned 3 generations. And you can feel the love in what they do. Thank you

I don’t know if telling the truth will be a disservice and make the restaurant owner even busier? Because of the hard work year after year, they are no longer young. Without making an appointment, we read the reviews on Google and entered the store at 6:30 in the evening. We were locked inside and the boss did not intend to accept any more customers. We were in the group of guests, and we watched the other guests who were unable to enter the door, and felt a little happy in our hearts. We were the last lucky ones to come in. In the completely unadorned old house, we could eat the essence of southern food. Like everything that appears in this house, there is no trace of makeup, all real materials, no commercial additives, Kung Fu dishes made with love for decades, I will not talk about the crayfish, which is world-famous. New Orleans cuisine still has its deep charm.

I visited this restaurant for lunch today. The “atmosphere” is suggestive of a talented chef who has mastered the art of south Louisiana cooking, in a setting improvised from available spaces rather than designed by an architect. The offerings are not as elaborate as the upper scale city restaurants. So when I say 5 stars, it is because this place has superior renditions of etouffe, crab dishes, fried (crispy) fish. Generous portions, moderate price. It is located about 70 miles from my home, but I hope to return before too much longer.
