“I was visiting from Chicago my brother and his wife during spring break and one of my nephews Tracy of Smith Barber College on Hosptial Dr in Jackson, MS took us to lunch, Wednesday, March 27, 2024, to Maxine’s Old Country Kitchen. The quaint restaurant is located on Macon St. Walking through the doors the ambience beckoned us in. We were greeted by beautiful wait staff serving everything you can imagine. Beef tips, smothered liver, hamburger steaks in gravy, turkey necks, baked and fried chicken, green beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, cabbage, okra, rice and gravy, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, turnip and collard greens, yams, corn muffin, sweet potato pie, cinnamon roll and peach cobbler. I can say the food was ON POINT! Very delicious and I did not add salt or pepper. Seasoned very well. We really enjoyed ourselves and had food to take home for dinner. Also, there was sweet tea, lemonade and kool-aid to drink. I pray GOD continue to bless your business. A hidden gem~“

“Saw this place on the Food Network awhile ago. If y’all come to MIssissippi please check this place out. I’m screaming all the way from Fort Lauderdaleeeee. Definitely worth the wait I’m in Love with this Bully 🔥.“

“Fred's is a great local eating spot. It seems to have grown up in my opinion to serve food to an underserved area of the local city. There are not an overly abundant amount of restaurants in this particular area. Also in my opinion they remind me of a old school early morning hole in the wall quick stop breakfast spot. In the south. The type of place young mothers might stop to feed their kids on the way to work and school in the morning. It is the type of spot that if you are not from the area or understand the culture, you will look and think twice before entering but once you try the food you will keep going back. The food was good. The service was quick. The atmosphere was okay but could stand a little more. For instance the television could be a little bigger and they could stand to brighten up the color scheme a little more. But all in all they are not a bad place to catch a breakfast meal especially if you want to do something a little different.“

“Definitely get your money’s worth here!“

“First time going there and had the pig ear slider one was hot the other was mild. The hot is hot like very hot , but the mild was better but they both were delicious. Also had the tamales and they were good as well. I will most definitely be back.“

“I'm a native Jacksonian, but have lived in Dallas, Texas for decades. I don't care how rude the staff is, Big John's will always be my priority stop! Those smokes are never, ever disappointing! As long as the food is delicious and satisfies my craving; that's my only concern. Always order 40 because I know everybody is going to want 2 or 3!“
