I finally got the chance to try Ken Cooks today. From the moment I walked in, until I left, I was shown nothing but kindness and hospitality. I ordered the fried chicken, macaroni, and broccoli casserole. Each entree comes with either rice or mashed potatoes; I chose mashed potatoes. After about 10 minutes, my food was done. Ms. Ken let me know that there was a mixup and I was given rice on my plate instead of mashed potatoes but she gave me container of potatoes with the meal. When I opened the plate... wow! It was a work of art and smelled just as good. After sampling everything, I knew why so many people recommended this place. I really hated I had to go back to work because a meal of that caliber deserves a nap. Ms. Ken seemed like a sweet and genuine person and I wish her the absolute best. I'll definitely be coming back!

I was excited to try Ken Cooks from hearing about it from other posts and following her. It was my cheat day and I was ready to indulge. It was busy from taking orders to restocking. I could hear her from the Kitchen thanking folks for being patient. That made me chuckle cause we really wasn't waiting long to me. I enjoyed the chicken wings the most from flavor to crunch. Again this was my cheat day so the salt and sugar was more noticeable for me from the fish, greens and sweet potato pie. I'll try the cake next time. The corn bread didn't even make it home. The strawberry lemonade was so good but I needed to cut with water and once I added vodka it was perfect. Nonetheless it was tasty and supporting a black business was a win. Everybody in there was hustling. I've shared with friends and I'd go back for another cheat day. Till then - back to kale and grilled stuff...

I visited Ken Cooks as a part of the Blackity Black Tour from Michigan, which is a travel group which travels all over the country to support all black owned businesses the week of Juneteenth. When I tell you that this was one of my favorites food spots in Charlotte. Not only was the food delicious, but it was fresh, hot and plentiful. I had the fried Salmon, greens, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Ken was the sweetest, and so personable that you felt like family. The restaurant was clean, and the service excellent! If ever in the area again, I will be back. Please check her out, she's amazing!

I must say I give Ken Cooks all 5 stars. The food was amazing. As soon as i walked in i was greeted and handed a menu. I ordered takeout. I love that while cooking the owner even greets customers from the back. I appreciated that!Fried Chicken: Was seasoned to perfection and very crispy. 5 Shrimp: Seasoned to perfection as well and not over cooked.Sides: Macaroni and cheese and yams The macaroni was very cheesy and the yams was . Strawberry lemonade: Yummy it's very sweet with a little tang. Addictive is all I can say FYI ** If you choose to pay with a debit card it's a $5.00 fee. It's best to pay with cash other than that everything was nothing but amazing.

I had the fried salmon, broccoli casserole. Also the mac and cheese.When I tell you it was so good. My friend had the same and he ate all of his food quietly not talking just eating. And the strawberry juice is delicious also. The salmon was seasoned perfectly and the corn bread was so good. Will be back for sure.
