Welcome

This is the official website of Mother Mae's Kitchen, where nostalgia and mouthwatering home-style cooking intertwine in the heart of historic downtown Evanston. Since 1993, we have been a proud part of this vibrant community, serving up delectable dishes that warm the soul.

Step into our cozy establishment and let the inviting aroma of fresh, homemade goodness envelop you. Our menu is a delightful journey through classic comfort food. Start your culinary adventure with a steaming bowl of our hearty soups, such as the classic chicken noodle or the adventurous homemade chili. Pair it with one of our scrumptious sandwiches, piled high with premium deli meats, crisp veggies, and tangy spreads on freshly baked bread.

For those craving something more substantial, our juicy and flavorful burgers are a must-try. We offer a variety of options to suit every taste, from the classic cheeseburger to a messy chili burger. And no visit to Mother Mae's Kitchen would be complete without indulging in our legendary homemade chili. This savory, slow-cooked masterpiece is a true testament to our commitment to exceptional flavor.

Of course, no meal is complete without a sweet ending. Treat yourself to our famous Homemade Rice Krispie Treats or delectable deserts made with love and the finest ingredients. These crispy, gooey, and nostalgic treats are the perfect way to conclude your culinary journey at Mother Mae's Kitchen.

We are open for lunch six days a week, so come and experience the warmth and hospitality that have made us a cherished part of the Evanston community for over three decades. At Mother Mae's Kitchen, you'll find more than just a meal; you'll find a taste of home.
