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.

The chicken and waffle was just what I needed. Get the wings if you order this dish. I took the recommendation from the cashier and I am glad that I did. Waffle wasn't sugary. The wings were proper crispy and seasoned just right, not heavy-handed on the salt and not underwhelming either. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Food is cooked to order, so nothing came to the table as if it had been quickly reheated or microwaved. Next time I come home to visit, this will be my destination for breakfast one of the days I'm home. And seeing that they also have lunch and dinner options, I may stop in later in the day for that.

This buffet is not for everyone. It serve specific type of people. I hate to give it one star but…read morethe food is not good. Service is nice tho, waiter refill my drinks constantly. 1. everything is too salty and greasy 2. the only good thing is fried chicken but it is not marinated and everyone tackle that quick 3. vegetables are straight from the can 4. they serve mystery fish as Catfish. It is not Catfish, it is not some cheap Asian Swai fish either, maybe 2 months old Tilapia. If you have an old Mississippi taste bud, like extreme portion of salt and sugar and greasy food, then you will like it here. If you have a normal taste bud then no.
