Do NOT eat here. Lady at the counter is extremely rude and doesn’t know how to speak to customers. Terrible customer service and there is no reason why it feels like I’m bothering her cause I’m ordering food.

My deceased mother introduced me to Maxine's over 25 years ago. She LOVED the food! She often purchased meals from Maxine's at least twice a week. I believe these women respected my mother as well. I, too, grew to love the food and RESPECTED the hard working women (Maxine and her Co-worker) who ensured good tasting quality food! In addition, I had the services of this establishment prepare Sunday meals to be delivered to my Mom's home as a result of her experiences with Alzheimer's Disease in the last 4 years of her life! My mother and her Homecare Workers looked forward to these delicious Sunday meals. THANK GOD I was able to provide this service as a result of working as a retiree. At least 3X, when delivery was NOT available from Maxine's, Maxine brought the meals herself to Mom's home. I recommended wholeheartedly this business to as many people who were looking for a GREAT soulful meal to TAKEOUT. YESTERDAY, November 22, 2023, the day after my mother's birthday, I needed a piece of my mother! I had not engaged in purchasing food from Maxine's in a while. I ordered ahead of time for pickup. I took a cab! Once, I got there, I was told by Maxine's Co-worker that I had to wait in line like everyone else who DID NOT PLACE an order ahead of time. I wasn't there to JUMP the LINE or THINK myself better than anyone else! I asked everyone present before the Co-Worker appeared if they were waiting as a result of placing an order for Pickup. They stated they were not! The people who were WAITING for their food were VERY POLITE and UNDERSTOOD I had already placed an order. I am a Senior Citizen! The Co-Worker acted as if she NEVER knew me. This TREATMENT, after several years of ordering from her face to face. It HURT deeply! I have patronized and promoted businesses of African descent all my life! Maxine had the order ready. She had to inform the Co-Worker from the back that the meal was already prepared. However, I was NOT pleased with my meal upon arriving home to partake in it. A great deal of it appeared almost burnt. I spent $26.00 in carfare alone. OUR businesses MUST learn to RESPECT PEOPLE who WALK through their doors! You NEVER know what they are experiencing when they walk through your DOORS! GREAT FOOD is a MEANS of COMFORT to MANY, especially now! Based on my past experiences, I STILL give these women a high rating in HONOR of my mother. I LEARN lessons EVERYDAY and WORK HARD on IMPROVING my PEOPLE SKILLS as well. May WE learn to serve others with GLADNESS! May WE understand that ALL WORK is a result of the many talents bestowed upon us. Clearly, both of these women are GIFTED in what they do!

Food was great my man and I came and ate around 1:30am which I think the restaurant closes at 2. They let us in and the waitress was awesome. Those drinks tho was nasty but food was good.

I've ordered from this place on more than one occasion. My go to is the fried whiting. There's a fishy taste as if it wasn't washed/cleaned well. Perhaps it's something in the seasoning or perhaps it's not seasoned enough. I wanted to give them a chance is why I ordered it a 2nd time. Hopefully Maxine's read their reviews and do better. Especially since they are a neighborhood stapler and have been around for a while. All the best to them.

One of my favorite places for Chicken (pieces and wings) and mac-n-cheese, but Seafood (fish and shrimp) is trash! No seasoning, oily, just not good at all.My order will definitely limited to the chicken.

How do you fry flounder like fishsticks?! I feel very disappointed and disrespected. It's hard and way too much breading. Such a waste of my money.

The catfish is amazing! I have a hard time trying other mains because it’s so good. The potato salad is also amazing, which is really hard to find. The mac & cheese, yams, & collard greens are also very good.It’s strictly takeout and delivery. They take Apple Pay and other electronic payments. I’m so glad I found this place. Better late than never!

Food was tasteless and had an odor was not fresh at all will not order again Peach cobbler was good at all tasted like sautéed peaches with heavy nutmeg with two pieces of crust
The food was not good unfortunately, very bland and the fish looked like it was from the freezer aisle of a grocery store. But I would have tried something new on the menu had it not been for the lady’s displeasing attitude and rudeness towards her own customers. I felt like i was bothering her. The only time she spoke to me was when she told me the price for my order. She never said hello, thank, no eye contact. Weirdest experience at a business ever.

I always ordered through an app and the food is always excellent. I happened to be passing by the store and thought I would drop in and order dinner. I was surprised at the person working the front counter. I felt like I was bothering her by giving her business. Never a smile never a thank you. Very short and cold as an ice cube. Im disappointed and probably will take my business elsewhere.A SMILE NEVER HURT ANYONE.

Horrible service food is very horrible I ordered a lunch special and they gave me a side of Mac & cheese the size of a sauce cup I ordered on door dash and it wasn't stated on the menu that it would be that small like let's be realistic who would you serve somebody a Mac & cheese the size of your thumb and also I called the restaurant and complained about it she tried to argue with me instead of helping. Never again. Oh! And the Mac & cheese was very watery nothing southern about this!

I felt so compelled to write a review. The food is amazing here and the prices can’t be beat. The sweet chili wings are absolutely delicious. My new favorite go to spot!!! I really recommend the lunch special with the wings. Extremely good
