MayMoes got its start in the spring of 2016, when Jason Davis opened up his restaurant in a gas station in Logan. Originally from Louisiana, Davis brought a long history of restaurant experience and a wealth of Cajun and Creole recipes with him.

MayMoes is a casual restaurant that offers some of the best Cajun and Creole cooking in the Beehive State. You’ll want to come back several times to explore all the spicy, authentic flavors of the South.

Try one of the PoBoy sandwiches on the menu. The shrimp is a popular choice, but you can also sink your teeth into pulled pork, smoked chicken, catfish, and more. The buns are flown in from a bakery in Louisiana.

The red beans and rice is a Southern classic, and you can order yours with a sausage, if you’d like.

The shrimp, blackened chicken, or veggie pasta comes with your choice of cream, oil, or red sauce, and it’s all delicious.

The regular menu items are all amazing, but keep your eye out for the specials because there’s always something spicy bubbling away on the stove.
