Family favorite when we are in Morgan City.Humble cozy setting. Extremely friendly waitstaff. Reasonable prices and good portions.This is world-class Cajun - Creole comfort food. Consider yourself fortunate if you happen to find yourself in this gem of a restaurant.Definitely worth going out of your way for!We love you Rita Mae's!

Great soul food restaurant. Fried fish is crispy and light and seasoned to perfection. Went back again for the same thingStaff is warm and welcoming. Family owned restaurant with generations of the greatest chefs.

Fabulous! Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food was awesome! Southern hospitality and food to die for!

Rita Mae's is like going over to grandma's after church for Sunday supper. Four generations, family run, highly recommend catfish po boy. Driving back tomorrow to purchase two t-shirts and to meet Ms Rita Mae herself! No frills, and word around town is that they have the best sweet potato pie.

First time visit. Visiting Morgan City to see family. Heard great things about this place. Food was delicious. I ordered catfish and shrimp fried rice and sweet peas A nice size portion.

If you are looking for GOOD South LA cooking where the locals go,and know about then you need to head here. Run now by Rita Mae s daughter she has kept her mom's recipes in tact and boy are they good!It might not look like much from the outside but rally aren't those usually the best places. They have several lunch plate specials and a pretty extensive menu. I ordered the special and it was just what I needed. Freshly fried shrimp po boy perfectly "dressed" on a pillowy Hogie roll and the seafood gumbo was perfecy spiced and chock full of seafood. The hubs got a gorgeous fried catfish lunch plate with a side of hemade potato salad and some of the best lima beans (bacon for the win)I had seen pictures of the sweet potato pie and knew I needed one before I left. Mark begrudgingly split one with me and I can't say I have tasted anything like it. Made with love (And a lot of secret ingredients) it was worth the wait. They take cash or card. It's a small restaurant and time moves a bit slower so sit down and relax. Definitely a must stop when in the area

You can't beat this place you want a good meal Rita maze it's the way it's the way to go if you just happen to be there on the right day there's they're crab meat stuffed bell pepper is the way to go best I've ever had

Maybe I ordered wrong just wasn't anything worth eating again. Over here they take the phrase chicken of the sea literally and put it in my seafood gumbo, just odd. Tastes more like vegetable soup than gumbo. Also Had to eat it with a fork which is another first. To say service was slow is an understatement. Was told they were having trouble microwaving it um k. Had the 1/2 shrimp 1/2 fish Poboy. Loved the bread. Decent amount of shrimp not enough fish and was just ok. Not much seasoning and could have surprisingly used more salt. Would def try the pork chop and red beans as that looked good and lots ordered that. Just make sure you got an afternoon to enjoy the place.

Hole in the wall serving homemade authentic food. The place is very small, so good for couples. The wait is extremely long so don't come in on a lunch break. To me the wait was worth it, you been warned so don't complain!

Such a worthy gem to stumble upon! Family run business that truly shines through their food and service. We ordered the special with shrimp and okra gumbo and catfish, as well as the catfish po boy. We were blown away with how much flavor and the amount of love that went into each dish, without overdoing the salt levels. I don't really like the thick consistency of most gumbo recipes so Rita Mae's gumbo did not disappoint, considering it also had okra. My boyfriend doesn't typically like okra but he surprisingly enjoyed it in this dish! Catfish was battered perfectly, nice crunch without drying it out or having an overpowering fish smell. Definitely recommend this place if you ever get the chance to stop by!
