Jessie Mae's Southern Creole Cuisine

They closed permanently a couple weeks ago.Yet another small business closed. At this rate people will starve because most cannot cook, and those that can are unable to afford ingredients

On this our maiden visit to Jessie Mae's, we were pleasantly surprised. It's been a long time since we've had chicken prepared in such authentic southern style. Near perfect. Seasoned just right. The Green Cabbage Mix and Dirt Rice sounds like an odd side combo but actually go together well. The Shrimp Po Boy was full of flavour. The service was terrific and the prices were acceptable. The restaurant is a tad small and dirty for my liking, but the food was fabulous.06/24

First, I always like to start off with the positive: excellent customer service and the chicken wings were cooked very nicely. When I got into the car, I could smell the barbecue sauce on the wings, and it had such a wonderful smell to it I just could not wait to try. I got the sweet barbecue sauce on the wings and they were very delicious. The plane wings really did not have any flavor, but that was okay because I specifically got the plain wings to add my own hot sauce, and the wings had a nice crunch. I'd rather have my chicken under seasoned than over seasoned.Now, the not so positive: All I have to say about my sides--fries, cabbage, and Mac and cheese--I was totally expecting better with all the excellent reviews. The fries were greasy and very limp. When I got home, I ate a few, and I had to pop the rest in the oven to render some of the grease off of them and to crisp them up a little, still, they were not that great. Now, some people may like overcooked cabbage, but they were way overcooked to my liking that I could not even finish them. Same with the macaroni and cheese they were overcooked just a tad bit to my liking, but again, there may be people who like their macaroni real soft. The flavor was okay, but I have had better. If I am in the area again I will definitely get the barbecue wings again because they were very delicious but I will not make a special trip. The sweet potato pie was okay...I gave it a four out of five only because it was a little bit too sweet for me.

Great food and place for family outgoing and friends to have fun with family and birthday parties with family

Went to Yelp to find Soul Food for my mom and ran across this gem. The chef heard me say that I didn't eat me and surprised me with special "wings" in my side dish platter. Fried cauliflower!!!! Yum. My mom said that her steak was also the bomb. Don't forget to some koolaid!!!

I LOVE Jessie Mae's! One of the main reasonsIs the Mac n cheese. I am very picky with Mac n cheese and a lot of places that make it are tasteless, too watery or just not good lol. So thumbs up! Their chicken is really good! I've had it without sauce and with their creole barbecue! Both are great! Then their collard cabbage mix so good! One of my favorite places in Columbus!

The food is great and the prices are budget friendly. I would highly recommend paying a visit to this restaurant

Great food and wonderful service. Tasty southern cooking with a nice Bourbon selection at the bar. The no brainer spot if in Bardstown,Ky

They have great food but there always closed I be really having a craving for certain dishes call No Answer...Chance driving and they're closed ‍ But the website will say it's open. Please get consistent cooks that's going to run the business. This is a FoodGem. Hope you can understand my point of view
