Lila Mae’s Southern Kitchen & Lounge

Lil Mae's Southern Kitchen -Nashville Hot Chicken Strips sides: garlic parm mashed potatoes, pasta salad-Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich sides: mac and cheese, corn bread honestly these were some of the best chicken tenders i've had in my life haha, the sides I would say were about average, but I think they are more known for cornbread than what i picked. My cousin who I went with also loved it and said the cornbread was amazing!! I definitely recommend!! Just a casual sit down place with decent service, but really great food!

Great atmosphere, and the food is fantastic. Service was top notch too. It's a small place, so be sure to make a reservation to guarantee you'll get in.

Great service and great food. My wife and I ate the Brunch on Sunday. The waffles and the breakfast biscuit and gravy were delicious . We will be back!

I'd give this restaurant a 3.5/5. The food is very tasty but the service is quite slow. We also went when a news interview was being done and felt our service was worse than normal since all the attention was directed elsewhere.

The brunch menu was limited but tasty. We look forward to going back and checking out the dinner menu.

Great food. But don't expect good service. I have been twice and had two different servers. Both which made simple task complicated.

I've only ever done takeout, but really solid portion sizes. Nashville chicken is a go to and the fried catfish is crispy and flavorful as well. Collard greens lacked a little punch, and I've had to wait quite a while to order when I don't place ahead online, but otherwise feels really homey when you walk in and the food compliments the feeling as well.

I loved the hot chicken here! It had a nice crispy batter on the outside and you'll definitely hear a crunch when you bite into it. You can get the chicken with varying spice levels and I got the medium. The medium wasn't spicy though, so if you want a kick then get a higher spice level. They give you the option of having the chicken on bread or waffles and I got it on waffles. It was delicious and the waffles came with some syrup on it too. All the entrees come with two sides and the truffle parm mashed potatoes was the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. It was super flavorful and garlicy. I loved those mashed potatoes so much. My boyfriend got the smothered porkchops and he said it was a little bit on the drier side. Our server was really sweet and it seemed like everyone else there was very nice as well. They all said goodbye to us when we left. It's my first time in Nebraska, but everyone here is so nice!

Bomb food! Great service, casual atmosphere. We started with the fried pickles, which were hot crispy and delicious. This is theme which would carry through the entire meal. My wife and I both chose the Nashville Hot Chicken Strips, with fries waffles and mac and cheese. It was all great, all of it. I took mine mild, flavor was great, but I would bump up to next spicy level next time. My wife chose hot, she will go up to extra hot next time (though she's not ready for "melt your face off" level, which the do offer) Overall we loved it. Price was fair, portions were large and everything came out super hot and fresh. They also have a full bar and small, but pretty cool little lounge area.

We ate here on Friday, 8 November. The service was good. Pleasant atmosphere. prices were reasonable.The menu I was really expecting to see some true southern style food.The fried pickles were on fire. Probably the best fried pickles I have had. We would order again. My husband and I I ordered the following:Grits and shrimp with Mac & CheeseShrimp Po Boy with Greens.The grits and shrimp, the grits even though made with cheese we're not smooth and creamy. They were not that good. The shrimp was good, but they had too much other stuff in with it.The Mac&Cheese was good, would order that again.The Shrimp Po Boy was good. But needs to be served in a hoagie bun to hold everything together instead of a hamburger bun. Everything kind of sled out. Also, maybe a tad more sauce. I would order again on a hoagie like bun. This is how I have had them served in Louisiana in restaurants.The greens. Seemed as they were not cooked down enough. Also, they were dry in the little bowl they came in. They did not put any juice on top. Also, there was a lack of seasoning. The greens I have had and also make are made using vinegar which I did not taste any vinegar. Cracker Barrel Turnip Greens taste better than the greens I had at this place. I would not order again.
