Maxine’s is full of flavor. Soul food with soul and plenty of it. Tucked away in the backyard on a dead end residential street it feels like you’re eating in Maxine’s dining room just off the kitchen. The traditional meat and 2 sides, with plenty of variety. Fried and baked chicken, hamburger steak, chicken tetrazzini, among other leads that change just a little depending on the day. A long line of vegetables and sides. Green beans, field peas, green peas, Mac and cheese, greens, corn, squash and more. Today we had the baked chicken. Seasoned well and cooked to pull-apart, fork tender.

This place is fantastic...off at the end of a dead end street in a nice neighborhood. Surprised but knew it would be good when we saw the line out the door and parking full. It didn't disappoint. The food was spot on.

I love soul food and I’m so glad I ran across this place. The variety and taste was excellent. Prices are fairly reasonable. I was A little disappointed that their lunch plates didn’t come with a beverage. But overall a nice lunch spot.

The owner is EXTREMELY rude and this place is NOT fully handicap/wheelchair accessible; which is further proof of the owner’s inconsiderate and disrespectful nature…..when there once, and will not be returning! It’s always your own people smh. P.s. Restroom was also filthy

★★★★★ 5.0 O'Myah Bolton · Aug 2025

I went on a Tuesday, and got the hamburger steak, Mac and cheese, and lima beans. The food was AMAZINGGGGGGGGG. Well seasoned and the lady that took my order was sweet and helpful. 10/10 will be a regular lunch spot for me since I'm in school near there.
