This venue is definitely one I would visit again and again.

I have driven by Maudee's a million times and have never seen it, but when I was doing research for a baby shower, it came up in the results list for tea rooms. It immediately made my list. Tea rooms really can't be beat!

Katie and I went there for lunch this week and we were both in heaven. Click here for a glimpse at the menu.

We started with a glass of tea, like true southern ladies. For the unique factor, we tried their boysenberry apricot tea. They offer the tea in caffeinated and decaffeinated, a pleasant discovery for the pregnant lady.

Since Katie gave up bread for Lent, she had the Trio Plate with chicken salad, pimento cheese, and the split pea soup. The pimento cheese, which I normally am not in love with, was made with finely grated sharp cheddar and wasn't too pimento-y. The split pea soup was the perfect temperature (which sometimes split pea soup has a problem with). It had blocks of ham and real split peas -- fantastic and made with such flavor. We couldn't have been happier.

I had the finger sandwiches: egg salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad ... with a cup of the split pea soup. It is true tea-room fare, and it is delicious.

Even though we were both comfortably full, we couldn't walk away from the freshly baked (and still warm), oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

The staff was warm and friendly. The service was great. This venue is definitely one I would visit again and again! Four stars!
