Our Team

Great food starts with great people — and at Johnnie Mae’s, we’ve got a team as passionate as the food we serve.

From the kitchen crew to the front-of-house staff, every member of our team shares one thing: a love for Southern hospitality. These are the folks who arrive early to start the slow simmer, who greet regulars by name, and who make sure every plate leaves the kitchen just right.

Some of us are lifelong Memphians. Some came here for the chance to be part of something special. But we’ve all become family — bound by our shared vision of honoring Johnnie Mae and serving Memphis with pride.

We don’t just serve food. We serve love. And it’s our team that makes that possible every single day.
