Ina Mae Tavern Launches New Weekday Daytime Hours!
We heard you, Chicago! Ina Mae Tavern & Packaged Goods is officially expanding our hours to open at 11:00 AM, Tuesday through Friday, with a brand-new Daytime Menu! Whether you are looking to escape the office for a killer weekday lunch in Wicker Park, seeking a midday patio hangout, or wanting to beat the dinner rush, our doors are open earlier.
You can now get your fix of Chef Brian Jupiter's award-winning Southern comfort food right when the midday craving hits.
What's on the Daytime Menu?
We aren't holding back for the daytime crowd. We've curated a menu full of lunchtime favorites, classic NOLA comfort, and even some brunch staples. Stop by between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to enjoy:
Rise & Shine Brunch (All Weeklong!): Who says brunch is just for weekends? Dive into a Biscuit Sandwich (fried egg, bacon, cheddar, and pepper jam) or our rich Shrimp & Grits featuring Gulf shrimp and stone-ground grits in a savory Creole broth.
NOLA Po'Boys: Served on legendary Leidenheimer bread. Now, you can choose between a Regular or Small sandwich size, paired with fries, Zapp's chips, or potato salad. Try the Voodoo Fried Chicken, Blackened Catfish, or Fried Shrimp.
Chef Jup's Gumbo Ya-Ya: Warm up your afternoon with Chef Jup's family recipe, packed with chicken, shrimp, Andouille sausage, crawfish rice, and a side of potato salad.
Lunch-Sized Maw Maw's Pizza: The perfect personal size! Grab the Bayou Buffalo (blackened chicken, voodoo sauce, and buttermilk ranch) or the Spicy Pepperoni topped with Caruso's hot giardiniera for a true Chicago-meets-NOLA twist.
Beachwood Baskets & Handhelds: From our classic Smash Burger (double Angus beef patties with dijonnaise and griddled onions) to crispy Chicken Tenders and Chicken Caesar Wraps.
NOLA Beignets: You can't leave without dessert. Enjoy three pieces of authentic beignets dusted with powdered sugar.
