The Good Kitchen

On a quest to find a delicious soul food restaurant that I can frequent. I ordered a couple of dinners so I could get an idea of how the food taste. I ordered them Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese and I also ordered the meat sauce and spaghetti and garlic toast. I had never heard of sweet potato cobbler so I had to give that a try. One thing that I noticed as I was carrying my bag to the car I noticed that the container did not feel warm. When I got home the food was barely warm so that tells me that I did not receive hot food in the first place. Anyway I just popped the food in the microwave when I got home. The Salisbury steak and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The macaroni and cheese was mushy (it had plenty of cheese, though) but I guess some people like their macaroni noodles overcooked but I prefer my noodles to have a some chew to it. The container with the meat sauce and spaghetti was so heavy, but when I opened the container it was like a pound of spaghetti and just a cup of meat sauce which made the meat sauce almost disappear when I mixed it all together. What I should have done was remove some of the spaghetti noodles before mixing the meat sauce. None of the food was hot just look warm. I have had other carryout food from other restaurants and even traveled a longer distance to get home, and the food was still hot when I got home, so that just shows that this food was not hot in the first place. I wanted to try their catfish but they did not have it so I just opted for One piece of whiting to get an idea of the seasoning of their fried fish, which was fried well. Lastly, the sweet potato cobbler was extraordinary! I will definitely return to this restaurant so that I can try the liver and onions which they only sell on Wednesdays. The customer service was excellent.

I'll start with the good, because it was really good. I called early ( around 12:15, they opened at 1 PM ) and the guy that answered the phone offered to start up the fryer early in order to make me a pork chop for lunch before I headed out of town. Now if that isn't customer service I don't know what is! I declined and actually just waited since I was so moved by the offer. The lady behind the counter was also extremely nice. So their customer service is top tier!Now for the bad : One Pork Chop and Two Pieces of Bread is $10! - that's way too expensive, I know inflation is crazy right now, but damn. Also if you order ahead over the phone you have to pay with credit card right then and there, I guess too many clowns have ordered and not picked up their meals. Also the taste of the pork chop was fresh, but weird. It taste as though they used the same batter that just put fish in, or fried fish in the same oil. It was just really unpleasant. I had to finish it though. Can't let $10 go down the drain. Ha Side note, be prepared to eat in your car or at home. There's a small little booth in the place but I don't think anyone would be comfortable eating there.

Good Kitchen 614 was my second choice because LaGlory's on Allegany were closed because they had a catering event that afternoon. Made the suggestion to go to Good Kitchen 614 because I wanted some homemade food. Very disappointed because every dish except the broccoli and cheese casserole had extremely too much salt in it and I could not eat it. This has happened to me a second time coming here. However the service is always with a smile, the food looks amazing and I really was disappointed in the taste this time. Someone that day was heavy-handed with the seasoning use of salt which is very unnecessary for " soul food" dishes.Visited on Saturday May 13th '23

I really liked the good kitchen. We found them to have good soul food. Everything we tried was delicious. We had whiting Mac and cheese and yams and their cubed steak with rice and gravy.

Decided on a dreary day I needed some old fashioned food to warm me up. I decided to head to The Good Kitchen 614. When you want some great food like grandma used to make, you head here. Arrived there and Will and Serena were hard at work making todays food. Ordered the Liver and Onions, broccoli and cheese, Mac and cheese and greens. The liver and onions were nice and tender with a nice gravy. The Mac and cheese is old fashioned style baked. So tasty. Had to get my veggies in with broccoli and cheese. Then there is the greens,OMG, they're so smooth and tasty. Some of the best. After eating you'll be all nice and warm inside. The food aside,it's all about Will and Serena and what they bring to the community with their service. You can not find a better couple doing more. Get out and check them out, you won't be disappointed.

My go to when I want good soul food that I can count on to be good. Everything on the menu is excellent. Only thing I have not had is the spaghetti. I've had the liver, wings, fried fish, pork chops and all of the sides. Customer service is awesome. I highly recommend The Good Kitchen. T

I thought I saw a new sign on this building, and then I saw a crowd the other day, so I stopped in as soon as I could. It's a little place in a small strip mall. Carryout, mainly, though there is a small counter where you could eat a quick lunch. Several kinds of fried fish, fried chicken, pork chops, etc. There was a meatloaf special the day I went. Choose your meat and get two sides- but you'll have trouble narrowing it down to two, so you might want to get some extras!It all smelled and looked great. I got the fried perch, with mac and cheese and greens; and smothered pork chops, with cabbage and sweet potato casserole. They also had mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, and a few other sides. The perch was perfect: hot, tender and flaky, light breading. The pork chops were very good: meaty, fried up nicely, with a good gravy. The mac and cheese was very good home-made style (though it has to compete with Sweetie's mom's pinnacle of excellence, and it is close but not up there.) The greens were excellent- vinegary, tender, flavorful. The cabbage was perfect: not overcooked, and a few other veggies thrown in for color. The sweet potatoes were so good I had to slow myself down.Service was friendly and fast. Prices are very reasonable- we got all that for under $20, and it was plenty. We'll be back. Even though Sweetie is averse to "shacks" (I told her it's in a strip mall, not a shack; she was unimpressed.)

Most of my meal was good baked chicken,broccoli casserole,and mashed potatoes but not the gravy. Mac and cheese looked liked hard and tasted a least 3 days old and still not good But let me express how delicious their crack sweet potato cobbler was it just melts on your tongue THE BOMB

Ordered wing dings and rice....Wing dings were average.Rice was mushy Front service lady was nice.

Excellent comfort food. Prompt service and the food was packed neatly in the carryout container. This was a meal provided by a friend during my recovery from surgery. I will definitely eat their food again! Convenient location from my home is a plus too.
