Maxine’s is full of flavor. Soul food with soul and plenty of it.
Tucked away in the backyard on a dead end residential street it feels like you’re eating in Maxine’s dining room just off the kitchen.
The traditional meat and 2 sides, with plenty of variety. Fried and baked chicken, hamburger steak, chicken tetrazzini, among other leads that change just a little depending on the day.
A long line of vegetables and sides. Green beans, field peas, green peas, Mac and cheese, greens, corn, squash and more.
Today we had the baked chicken. Seasoned well and cooked to pull-apart, fork tender.
The green peas had a touch of spice and little potatoes in there too. The corn on the cob was Cajun spiced. And the cornbread muffin was perfect. Not too sweet, not too plain.
The fried chicken was phenomenal. A leg and a thigh, crispy fried, crunchy and plenty of seasoning in the breading. This was crunch-tastic!
The Mac and cheese was rightly seasoned, had the browned cheese on top and super creamy cheese underneath. This was good. Standard rice and gravy and the they-made it soft roll from the package.
Dessert was a star. A warm cinnamon roll, super delicious icing and the center was that warm, gooey goodness that makes cinnamon rolls worth it!!
Peach cobbler was good too. Mix a bite of both and you just invented peach cobbler cinnamon heaven!
Grab a bottled Coke or tea/lemonade or koolaid from the serving table.
The procedure is line up to pick your plate and dishes, then back in line to pay, pick a table and enjoy!
It’s busy during the lunch hour and after the first bite you’ll understand why!

This place is fantastic...off at the end of a dead end street in a nice neighborhood. Surprised but knew it would be good when we saw the line out the door and parking full. It didn't disappoint. The food was spot on.

You won't find another place that has true, delicious, homecooked meals like they provide. Walk in, and you feel like family. Don't miss out on this experience.

But their prices are too high. I told the son that they would be looking like Bully's soon. High prices and low customers or no customers.

Never come here. I’ve witnessed how terrible their employees are treated and the food isn’t great. Go somewhere else and save your money!
Explain please.

Worst restaurant in town. I found a roach in my food and there were flies around the cashier.
