At Ida Mae’s Soul Food Kitchen, tradition is always on the menu. Named in honor of soulful Southern roots, our restaurant was built on a deep love for home-cooked meals and heartfelt hospitality. Nestled in Waxahachie, TX, we’ve created a space where food tells a story, one that connects family, history, and flavor. Every dish is a tribute to the recipes that started it all.

At Ida Mae’s, we treat everyone like family. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you will always be greeted with warmth, kindness, and a plate full of love. Our guests say it best: “addictive,” “delicious,” and “top shelf.” We’re proud to be a hidden gem in Waxahachie, bringing the community together over meals that linger in memory long after the last bite.
