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.

There was a small misunderstanding with my dish as I wanted the fried chicken version, but it was prepared " à la plancha" instead. Service was still excellent and it was a nice eating environment. I wasn't even disappointed with my food, it was still amazing. The papas locas, the red rice and beans, too good! Plenty of tortillas were served with the plate too which made it even better. I loved the small chips and salsa that they provided alongside my cafe de olla. Overall, this place will be included in my rotation whenever I come down to Jackson, Mississippi.

Menu is posted on the wall and there's also a QR code at the door for the menu. Prices are reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get. The chicken was well seasoned. The Mac and cheese wasn't the best I've had but it wasn't the worst. The cabbages were very well seasoned but a little overcooked to my liking. I did not like the hot water cornbread at all. I can do without it the next time. My favorite thing was the pineapple ginger lemonade. They have several flavor of lemonades and punches to pick from and they are already packed to take with you. I will try a few other items on the menu. I think it's worth that.

I would definitely recommend La Morena and I will give it a well deserved five stars.

And this is 1 spot that hits just about every box for me. They have seats for dining in & tvs. I went on a Sunday right before they were closing at 4. It's already hard enough to find a good soul food spot open on a Sunday. The staff took my order over the phone and I got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. I tried their fried chicken with some creamy mac & cheese & dressing. Now prior to this Ive had similar meals at other locations and was not impressed. This spot definitely made my visit! The food was so hot, good, and seasoned well; even my mom was impressed. So that's a great sign. I would definitely be back.

As a Haitian American, I had to stop by Little Haiti Caribbean while I was in Jackson. And the food…read morewas good!! They also have great service, and I had an opportunity to chat with the owner while I was there. He was nice. I ordered the griot meal which came with plantains (banan peze) and pikliz. There were also slices of onions and peppers which is always a nice addition. When I ordered I mentioned that I like my pikliz spicy, and I was pleased that they made sure I got that, lol. I only mentioned it because I recently saw that some Haitian restaurants will make their pikliz less spicy in case there are customers who can't handle the heat. And I didn't want to take the chance and not get what I really like. I love the blue and red colors on the inside for the Haitian flag, as well as the Haitian wall art. I wish them lots of success, and I can't wait to try something else on their menu when I'm back in town.

Pulled up and of course there was a crowd of people gathered, either waiting to order or waiting on their food. Although I stood in line for a short while, it was quick ordering. It also wasn't long before I got my food even though I thought it would be with the amount of people there was. I ordered the Snow Crab Plate--it comes with 2lbs (I think) of snow crab legs, 2 corn, 2 sausage, & 2 potatoes for like under $25. I also "made it messy" which was extra butter and their signature seasoning added to the mix. When I received my food, in typical boil in bag fashion, it was PIPING HOT which was great because by the time I got home I didn't have to reheat it. Also it was a tolerable seasoning to spice ratio. The butter was a little much but not extraordinarily overwhelming. Though it was not my first choice, I enjoyed every bite of it--satisfied my seafood craving. I love T'Beaux's and never had a bad experience with it.

They one thing I know about this place they don't care nothing about a complaints probably unless…read moreyou're white allegedly I really feel that All they care about is the money. I've been coming here for 20 plus years I've only had maybe a couple of issues but they definitely didn't take care of you I've gotten old crawfish before and no they don't replace nothing they don't give nothing they don't replace nothing. But what piss me off is spending $40 for a crawfish plate with a crawfish is smaller than your small as finger too much work because I don't even know how it's legal to sell them that small. It was a waste of time and money just know when you go there make sure you catch them at the right time because if you catch them at the wrong time you won't get your money's worth like we didn't. One thing about them they just all about money they don't care about the customers they figure we going to come anyway but I will not be back. Also want to say that yes their crawfish is good I would like a boil from somewhere else but they are always on the higher spectrum when I go out of town I get delicious crawfish for cheaper everywhere else. It's all about the money with these people.
