It was my first time at Kale's Kitchen, and the food didn't disappoint. Nice sized shrimp and fried with good flavor. I never had fried salmon before, but in North Carolina, you will find out we fry anything. The macaroni and cheese are homemade, and the candied yams are on point. All in all the meal is very good and worth the wait outside. For out-of-town folks, the area looks suspect. It's just good people waiting for good food. You will not be disappointed. Check out Kale's Kitchen Instagram page to know when the establishment will be open.
Love the food, but pack your patience! I preordered and live 40 mins away. Pickup time was between 4:30-6. You receive a text on the day of with the exact time. And there is a 15 min grace period once you receive your pickup time. I arrived in Durham and received a text at 5:15 that my pickup time was not until 7. I show up at 7 and there is a line of people waiting to also pick up their food. My name was finally called at 7:30. The food was still warm when I arrived home and was delicious-salmon, collards and yams. My husband had shrimp, yams and mac & cheese. He said his was delicious as well. Servings are huge! I would order again, but I know that it’s going to be a long wait.
5 star! SEASONED food! I've been here twice! Pop-up shop so you need to have your social media notifications on to know when they open! Bring your phone or a book if you get there early to wait in line. THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!!! The portions are heavy and full and last 2 to 3 meals.
My friend and I went to this spot at about 10pm and the line was out the door and around the corner. Even though my feet hurt from standing in that long line, the food was worth the hour and a half wait. Everything was cooked fresh, hot and the portions they give you are more than enough. They pack the trays with so much food you can eat for two days. The owner came out and talked with us and thanked everyone for coming out and supporting her business. She talked about starting it, her personal life, and was just the sweetest. Her whole staff was kind and smiling in that busy hectic atmosphere. But again the food was 100/10 and seasoned just right. Get there on time, because they serve until they run out. At one point standing in line, someone came out and told us they were out of barbeque chicken but other options were still available. So first come first serve! But so worth it.
I'm giving 3 stars because it just opened. The food is good BUT we went two people and it came up to 84.00. I had steak and shrimp, the shrimp still had the tail on it and the steak was batch cooked , it reminded me of roast beef . The sides are a nice size and this is a female owned restaurant so I would try it again but get something different , I think everyone should give it a try but I would like to say for 84 dollars i might want to have the option to sit down
