About

Maudee's has been an eclectic lunch spot for over 18 years. It started as "Friends" in Snider Plaza and when Lynn McIlhaney bought it, she moved to its present location and named it for her Grandmother, Maudee. Over the years, menu items have been added, but the same basic down home recipes that were enjoyed by her grandmother are still served daily. Afternoon tea was added by Meredith Strode in 2002 and these great traditions have been expanded under the stewardship of Mack & Sharon Yarbrough who acquired Maudee's in 2005.

MAUDEE’S

Nothing but tried-and-true dishes are served in this cozy Park Cities spot. We sampled chicken spaghetti, thickly crusted with cheese, plus an excellent cream of mushroom soup and a crisp romaine salad with tangy Caesar dressing. A fresh-from-the-oven cookie and a lemon square rounded out this pleasant lunch. 4333 Lovers Ln (2140526-9750) Lunch Mon-Sat 11-2.

Maudee's

Mack and Sharon Yarbrough (no relation to the Yarbroughs at Lavender House) have been owners of the lunch cafe and tearoom since last summer. Afternoon tea was added at the restaurant five years ago. It's a small place that caters to both adults and children. For the grown-ups, the traditional tea is three courses, starting with a sorbet, continuing with finger sandwiches, scones and a popover, followed by dessert. Sandwiches include chicken salad, egg salad, pimento cheese and cucumber. The fresh scones and breads are served with cream, lemon curd and jams. The teas are loose-leaf from Globex America, and the house tea is boysenberry-apricot. Place settings include pink and blue Churchill China and original Franciscan Desert Rose dishes (not used for the kids). Children's tea features teapots with themes such as Alice in Wonderland and teddy bears. Children's sandwiches include peanut butter and jelly and cream cheese with raspberry jam. "We do several teas for young people, and I like to talk to them about the tradition of the tea," Mr. Yarbrough says. "If they don't want tea, we will make pink lemonade and put it in a teapot, or even a Coke or Dr Pepper."
• Mondays through Saturdays from 3 to 5 p.m. 4333 Lovers Lane. 214-526-9750. www.maudees.com. $19.95; children's tea $12.95.
