Ina Mae is what happens when the Big Easy meets the Windy City! Inspired by Chef Jupiter's southern roots, Ina Mae, named after his great grandmother, was inspired by the charming Mom & Pop joints, dive bars and corner stores of his home town. The authenticity can be seen through live music, NOLA cuisine, packaged good & neighborhood feel. We want you to eat and drink like they do in the South. Stop by for some fried chicken and po'boys; enjoy a frozen daiquiri while listening to live music on our patio. Since 2018, Ina Mae has received local & national recognition for its ambience and received 3 Michelin Bib Gourmand's, Chef Jup is a 2022 Chopped champion and has 2 James Beard Best Chef Midwest nominations at our sister restaurant, Frontier.
