Collard greens were cooked with love!!! tender , flavorful with a hint of heat . Baked chicken was full of flavor and fell right off the bone . Wish they had jalapeño cornbread , though

I went on a Tuesday, and got the hamburger steak, Mac and cheese, and lima beans. The food was AMAZINGGGGGGGGG. Well seasoned and the lady that took my order was sweet and helpful. 10/10 will be a regular lunch spot for me since I'm in school near there.

Great atmosphere with a great customer service. Love the old school music that's always playing too. On to the food.... You can tell someone's Mom or Grandmom is the kitchen cooking. Love their smoked wings and homemade veggies. Can't forget the desserts. Come on down enjoy a great home style plate from chicken, liver, tetrazanni, smothered steaks etc you won't regret it.

The food was good. The Only down fall was my Mc and cheese was cold. The green beans were spicy but not seasoned 🥶. The turkey wing tho was really good even my puppy liked it. The dressing was good and the 🍠 🍠 yams.

Today is my very first time trying this location out and I have to say The experience was horrible. The lady that prepared my food had a very nasty Attitude. The food has no flavor, hardly. I understand cooking food from a can but put your own touch to it. The greens that I have today on my plate are straight out of a can. Although the experience was horrible, and the food has no flavor, I do like the idea of the business…. If I had to rate this location, on a scale of 1 to 10. I would say this business would be rated at 3.

First time coming. Picking up a plate to go for someone else. Even though I came just after 1 pm, they were out of meat and had only vegetables left, I feel they might be doing some really good food service. For their hours to be open for 3 hours, you are drawing in the customers. I plan to give it a try for myself one day soon.

This was absolutely the best meal I have ever had, and I come from a big family of awesome southern cooks. Plus they were all so sweet and friendly! Definitely stop here if your anywhere near Jackson, Ms. DELICIOUS!
Everything was great even the food I come every time during lunch hour & the food & the service is definitely worth it !

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!
