I work in the service industry so I'm pretty patient and reasonable when it comes wait staff but my most recent visit to Ina Mae's was disappointing. Our server disappeared soon after delivering our food and then transferred us to another server without communicating this to us. We had to find this out after not being checked on for 30+ minutes. The server that took over seemed bothered that I was trying to figure out if they were our new server and didn't check up on us for another 20+ minutes after I put in a simple drink order. At a certain point I didn't even feel like bothering them and just paid the check and left.

Great place for vibes. However, the price tag that comes with them is hefty for what you get.

Excellent vibe and such a fun menu. I jump at the chance to go here!

I always love Ina Mae's because of the atmosphere and brunch music. Chicken and pancakes are always a hit, but this time they only had chicken strips instead of wings (not a big deal whatsoever). Our server had zero personality and seemed like he hated his job, but other than that everything was great. Will be back again.

We got the Seafood Tower. The potato crisps with sauce were amazing. The rest of the fried seafood was ok. The Tower was around 60 dollars for 2-3 people to share. The Rose wine came in a can and was 15 dollars. It was not very good. The music and vibe was excellent.

Ina Mae is a quirky, New Orleans inspired bar/restaurant that serves great, authentic Cajun fare. Woild love to go back and eat in the restaurant (ordered to go) and was sad they no longer had boudin balls. The gumbo was like "a party in my mouth" delicious! I got the Gumbo w/potato salad on the side, red beans n rice, (both good size portions) and a NOLa themed drink while waiting. All I can say is wish I had more time here to go back, eat in house and when live entertainment is happening.If you love the cuisine of Louisiana, you will not be disappointed. "Laissez les bon temps rouler..."

I was really excited to visit this restaurant with my family but left quite disappointed. Let me start by saying that it is such a cute place. It's so beautifully decorated and very cozy. We went for Sunday brunch, and they had a live band playing, which was absolutely wonderful.The food, on the other hand, was a different story. I had the chicken and pancakes. The pancakes were burnt at the bottom, and the chicken tasted like it was fried in old grease. It just wasn't a pleasant taste. I also had a Pina Colada that was served in a short glass, which I've never experienced before, and it wasn't too great either. My family ordered quite a few items, and everything was just blah. It was like everything needed a bit more seasoning. The service is in need of improvement as well.Overall, I'm pretty disappointed because the atmosphere is so enjoyable but we came to eat!

We were running late and they were very gracious, getting us seated quickly. Another staff member even switched out a more comfortable chair for us. Mac n cheese, cauliflower, gumbo, chicken, all delicious. Kids had a great time and we left before the bar crowd arrived.

What a cool spot. Had live music playing, it was really good! My BF and I ordered the big fried chicken platter to share... DELICIOUS ? It was fried perfectly and still juicy inside. Loved the hot honey on top. It came w/ biscuits & 2 sides in which we ordered Mac n cheese & red beans n rice. I'm always looking for a good Mac n cheese, FOUND IT at INA MAE'S!We will def be back.

Eh. It was ok. Inexpensive. Shrimp in po boy was overcooked, the mac n cheese was meh, deserts were great, service was just ok. And they were out of several things on the menu.Nothing at all wrong with this place and it might be a great place to get f’d up, but not so great to get a great meal. Good meal, yes. Great meal? Not so much.Parking: Plan to circle for a long time at busy days/times.

We had fried chicken, fried catfish, biscuits, collard greens, corn maque choux, and beignet sundae. All really delicious. Server was attentive and helpful. Great vibe in the space. We'll be back for sure.
