Today we went to Mayfel's to have lunch. Mayfel's is a Louisiana, country, cajun style eatery. Not too hot and spicy though for those of us who don't necessarily like it like that. Their decor is loads of fun and it felt very festive esp. with it being the afternoon of New Year's Eve. The place was packed. Our waitress was especially helpful, giving us information to pass on and also adding whipped cream to the ambrosia when I said it just wasn't sweet enough. I had "Fried green tomato benedict" and Phyllis had "Crab benedict" made with real crabmeat. It was very good indeed. On the menu is the story about how the name "Mayfel" came about.
The name Mayfel is short for Mary Felonise, my grandmother's given name. While attending boarding school, she was teased with the name, "Mary fell on your knees." So she shortened it to Mayfel. We take pride in preparing everything from scratch in order to provide wholesome food for you. We buy local when possible. All meals are made to order,so some may take a little longer. Grandmother Mayfel wouldn't have it any other way.
The room is full of whimsical items hanging from the ceiling and lights. The atmosphere is very homey. We will definitely be back! Winter hours find them closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Open at 8:30 AM on weekends and they do serve brunch those days as well as holidays (which today qualified as). The rest of the time I would suggest calling because it gets just a little confusing. They can be reached at 828-252-8840. They are located right smack downtown in Asheville across from Pritchard Park. (More on Pritchard Park another time.)
