Designed by Executive Chef Blake Jackson, Mae & Co. introduces a comfort food concept that pairs traditional dishes with creative twists. The restaurant embodies its motto, “cluck. shuck. bottoms up,” which reflects its focus on fried chicken and seafood offerings. It is noted for its signature dish, the LFC Fried Chicken Plate, which consists of two Airline Fried Chicken Breasts served on a bed of Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes and Ricotta, topped with a savory gravy. This dish is being hailed as the best fried chicken in Shreveport.
Complementing the main offerings, a must-try appetizer includes house-made Poblano Pimento Cheese served with beignets, presenting a unique take on a classic snack typically paired with powdered sugar. For lighter fare, the Marsh Green Salad is touted as a fresh option on the diverse menu. Items like Oyster Bao Buns, Akaushi beef debris sandwiches, along with seasonal specials create what the restaurant describes as “comfort food plus,” featuring a mix of both classic and inventive cuisine.
Furthermore, Mae & Co. also offers a selection of Louisiana beers alongside creative cocktails such as the Southern Sipper and Bouidini, enhancing the dining experience with local flavors. Chef Jackson has expressed intentions to expand his culinary offerings with a new upscale dining concept called Heron, expected to open next door in October 2024.
The aim of Mae & Co. goes beyond just serving food; it seeks to create memorable dining experiences, with aspirations for guests to feel compelled to return. The inspiration behind the restaurant is deeply personal for Jackson, who credits Mae Mae Reliford, a pivotal figure in his culinary journey, with influencing his cooking style and approach to hospitality.
With the restaurant’s strategic location, it is positioned to be a popular after-work hangout spot, particularly appealing to those interested in experiencing an oyster bar complemented by themed cocktails. Mae & Co. is open for service from Tuesday through Saturday, with the kitchen operating until 9 PM.
