Lillie Mae's Comfort Food

Don't waste your time coming here since the place is boarded up and for rent. It's very unlikely this business will reopen, but at least there's some good food trucks across the street and another food court less than a block away.

I had heard great things about their burgers, but I was craving chicken, and I was not disappointed. It was the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. It was very well seasoned and worth every minute waited.

Was very excited to try out Lillie Mae's after seeing raving reviews.Closed sign across their windows.Hope they come back one day so I can update.

I'm sorry to note Lillie Mae's has closed. It was a bit of old Manor, gone like so much of what this town charming and unique.

Missing soul food and came across this place you wouldn't of seen it passing by unless you were stopped at the stop light. Opened up Yelp and read a lot of the great reviews. Had to come in as soon as you walk in you have history of beautiful family pictures on 3 walls made you feel like your eating at his place.1 (owner) man cooking, taking orders and serving some of the reviews saying he is rude not true he is just REAL he is a very funny guy and humble 4 pc chicken w/fries- absolutely light, seasoned and cooked to perfection it will have you licking your fingers I sure did! Fries seasoned and delicious Cabbage- I can eat this everyday it seemed he roasted the cabbage prior to cooking it had a smoky flavor which was out of this world.. A MUST!!!3 pc catfish with okra and greens- hubby did not share his plate with me it was that good he said it was actually better then he had in Atlanta, GAThe place is small chairs still up on tables. we put our chairs down ourselves which we don't mind friendly customer based.The cooking may take a little longer especially for 1 owner working all sides but let me tell you this place is LEGIT with awesome delicious southern cooking. Absolutely a hidden gem. My only regret is I didn't even ask the owner his name but I will next time and trust me this will be my twice a month eating spot.Thank you for sharing your delicious food and a little of your family story truly amazing

If you are on the right path, you know life is a journey filled with enchanting places and devine appointments. I found myself in Manor, TX on a Saturday evening. Manor, is a very small town, east of Austin, that you might drive right through main street and miss it.I was hungry, so naturally I hit up Yelp for a recommendation for some good eats. For me, eating good food for the day is more than just a meal, it's a celebration of life! That's when I discovered Lillie Mae's. Yelpers say they had good fried chicken, burgers and soul food. Let me tell you, There is soul food, and then there is food for the soul. Fred, the owner and chef takes care of business!I enjoyed some of the best fried chicken on the planet! But I didn't stop there. Realizing I was in heaven, and my sins forgiven, I ordered up some catfish and shrimp combo to go, since I didn't know how soon I would be back this way. Huge, portions, hand made tarter and sassy wing sauce, And of course some Texas sweet tea. Oh man was it good! Don't get fancy on me, this is a humble place. A big kitchen with a big heart and a few tables to park your seat on. Reminds me of the original Prince's Chicken in Nashville. Hear me now! If you find yourself riding out on 290 and you drive through Manor, hit the brakes, and turn your caboose around right now! You need to stop at Lillie Mae's to feed your soul and get your sins forgiven!Forgive me for the sparse picture. I had already eaten two pieces faster than I could get my camera out.

We chose Lillie Mae's as a meeting spot between Pflugerville and Lyle to have dinner with friends. The Yelp reviews were great, but we did not know for sure what we were going to find. they were RIGHT! The husbands both got the catfish and shrimp. I got the pork chops and the wife got a bacon cheese burger. Our side choices were fried okra, greens, Mac n cheese, black eyed peas, and fries. The meal was phenomenal. It was hot, flavorful and way more than any of us could finish on our own. I got the koolaid and there was plenty of sweet tea to go around. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

The food is amazing! The fried chicken reminds me so much of my grandmother's! Definitely a home cooked meal and the portions are plentiful! Fred is always a joy to banter with while I wait for my food!

Love this place. Came in for chicken and the owner is super outgoing and funny, making me feel like I'm back home. Definitely would highly recommend.

No question the greatest fried chicken you will have, this absolutely clears ANY place serving chicken in this state. This is the only fried item I've had in my life where it did not sog up by the time I took it home. I also made sure to try their mac and cheese, red beans and rice, and the bacon cheese burger with sausage and not a single thing disappointed me!! There is no debate, this is THE greatest fried chicken and burger in the city!!! Fred (sorry if i remembered wrong) was very welcoming and I can't wait to come back. I dined in a couple weeks ago coming from San Antonio, and I will gladly make that drive anytime I want the GREATEST fried chicken I've had in my life!
