The story behind the restaurant is incredible, and the food they serve up is even more incredible. Based on other reviews I read, I knew I had to try the fried chicken. They make it fresh to order and it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed reading various publications hanging on the wall while I waited. The fried squash! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I would seriously drive back just for that! When you are in Jackson, this is a MUST! I'll for sure be back when life takes me out that way. I'm truly grateful for the entire experience of meeting them and enjoying their delicious cuisine.

Lunch today was at a new spot for me. After watching the Soul Food documentary on Hulu, I decided…read moreto try Maxine's Old Country Kitchen. The staff working the line was so sweet and patient as I tried to make a decision. There were so many good looking sides that I went with a veggie plate and added one smoked wing. That Mac n cheese was heavenly. Oh man it was good. The Lima beans were flavroful, as were the collard greens. I didn't care for the boiled okra, as the dish lacked seasoning and the cornbread wasn't my favorite. I will still go back to get a plate as I love plate lunches where I can get home-style vegetables! Address is 1254 Macon St, right off of Lynch Street.

A hot mess but trying. There's a difference between a cook and a chef. This place has a credible…read morerenowned chef, but the problems arise from the lack of capable kitchen help which makes Urban Country Kitchen's food preparation, quality, and service fall apart. One general never won a war alone. Capable soldiers are needed too. My visit here found the artistry and vision, but not the execution. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria fashion herding patrons through a line. Often the posted menu items being served run out with large gaps occuring before they are replenished. The batches quality is varying because each time an item is never cooked the same. The service wait time is epic causing the customer line of many different races to start at the door. Thats a major flag because the place is only open for five hours and closes. The pricing of a dinner plate consisting of a meat option, two choices of various sides, a bread selection, bottomless lemonade or tea for dine-in patrons, and a dessert was on the spendy side to me, however, I think that's the norm now in this present economy. Overall, I give the food a six. My next visit should be better because I know the chef is good enough to right this ship and get it sailing on the proper course.
