Maddi Mae's

Maddi Mae's Cafe is a sandwich shop and ice cream counter in Athens, Tennessee, known for its chicken salad and French dip. The chicken salad is made in house from a long-standing recipe, and the French dip starts with prime rib that is slow cooked for about 12 hours. Signature wraps include the NELI, a seasoned ground beef wrap, and the shop also serves a Lobster Roll that is offered seasonally.

The ice cream menu covers rolled, soft serve and hand-dipped options, along with custom milkshakes and a Dole Whip. Orders can be placed online for pickup or delivery, and the shop also takes orders through DoorDash. There is a second location at 634 Parkway in Gatlinburg, and a loyalty program gives a free sandwich after ten stars.
