Our Story
Discover the heart and soul behind Ray and Mae's Louisiana Creole & Soul Food Cuisine. More than just a restaurant, it's a legacy of family, love, and tradition served on every plate. Welcome to our story.

Born from family and love
Ray & Mae’s Louisiana Creole & Soul Food Cuisine wasn’t born from a business plan — it was born from family, memory, and love. It began in the kitchen, where recipes were passed down through generations, cooked with patience, storytelling, and care. The food wasn’t created to impress customers — it was made to feed family, neighbors, and community. Ray and Mae symbolize the elders whose hands shaped the recipes, whose resilience carried traditions forward, and whose love showed up on every plate. Turning that legacy into a business was a way of preserving culture while sharing it with others.

Legacy cooking, not commercial cooking
Ray & Mae’s food is special because it’s legacy cooking, not commercial cooking. Every dish is rooted in generational Louisiana Creole and soul food recipes, made the way they were taught — slow, seasoned with intention, and never rushed or watered down for mass production. The flavors come from tradition, not trends. What truly sets Ray & Mae’s apart is that the food carries story, culture, and care. It’s cooked to nourish people, not just to fill plates. Guests don’t just eat a meal — they experience comfort, connection, and the feeling of being welcomed like family.

More than just a meal
Besides amazing food, the most important thing we want customers to experience at Ray & Mae’s is a sense of warmth, belonging, and care. From the moment someone visits or places an order, we want them to feel seen and welcomed — like family, not just a customer. Ray & Mae’s is about more than a meal; it’s about comfort, connection, and trust. Whether it’s a first-time guest or a returning supporter, every interaction is meant to feel genuine, respectful, and rooted in hospitality. We want customers to leave feeling nourished in more ways than one — satisfied, appreciated, and reminded of the joy that comes from sharing food made with love and tradition.
"The food is amazing, but the feeling of family and warmth is what keeps us coming back."
