Lee's Kitchen

Amazing food, they have a food truck that we ate at in down town. I got the spicy jerk chicken with plantains and Mac. The ambiance of the truck was southern Jamaican and local. The service was very friendly and incredibly fast.

I ordered an oxtail dinner and a curry chicken dinner. The choose cabbage and yams as sides for both dinners. The plantains were medium size, tender, and not too sweet. The yams and cabbage were delicious. The curry chicken was balanced with flavor, and the oxtails were meaty and cooked to perfection. My two complaints were the tight space full of customers waiting for their food, and the wait time for my food. A staff member should have asked customers to wait outside for their orders, or three customers at a time should have been allowed inside of the restaurant. I do not like for customers to literally be on my heels. I will return again to the Capital Blvd location. The ambiance has a Caribbean vibe, but the shopping center looks run down and dirty.

9/12/21: It's our first time here. We were trying a few different items. I was personally craving candied yams & there was no other place around. The restaurant is very small. Only about 3 people can go in at a time. More could get in if there wasn't someone selling unrelated items to everyone that walked in the door. The service was ok. The food was another story. The pork chop was a nice size, but it tasted sour like it was going bad before they fried it. The yams weren't as sweet as I like, but my family loved them along with the Mac'n'cheese. The pound cake was dense & bland. We paid a lot to not be satisfied. I don't plan to go back, but my family probably will.

This place has some really authentic and good Jamaican food with just the right amount of Soul Food in it. One of the best Jamaica food spots I have had, tasted like it came straight from Jamaica.

Foods getting worse by the day There's no love in the kitchen. You can tell there has been a shift the need to get a staff that are like minded and have a passion for food and family

I've had food from here multiple but don't try and go there 20 min before closing time. Sign says close at 7pm but multiple times I've been there and the doors will be locked but (with works still serving) those that got in earlier. If you are not taking orders after 6:30 then change the closing time to 6:30

What a curteaous person. Beef pattie and kola champagne hit the spot !!! Will be back for more highly recommend this place!

Since they're only letting 4 people in the restaurant at a time during corona it seems like every time I drove by this place there was a line. But since Lee's Kitchen is so known and popular in Raleigh and I've never had it, I had to give it a try anyways. Let me start off by saying ubereats and the Lee's Kitchen app both miss a lot of menu items (turkey wings, beef patties, etc.) so if what you want is on there you're lucky but we weren't able to order ahead because of this.The food is really delicious, decent prices, big portions, and hot food. We got turkey wings, white rice, rice and peas, veggies, oxtails, and Mac n cheese. We enjoyed all of it and finished our plates! The veggies is pretty much just cabbage and the Mac is super good. You can get the turkey wings baked, grilled, fried, smothered, etc. but they said the two most popular were smothered and fried so we did smothered. The only complaint we had was that the turkey wing plate didn't have a lot of rice (we thought there'd be more under the wings but it was just that corner.) I'd definitely come back here and get the same thing or try the curry goat. They also have a large variety of different fruit juices and drinks! I definitely see why everyone likes this place.

One star is being generous. We ordered oxtails and received beef stew chunks of beef that were tough and extremely salty. More disgraceful than the food was the service and the price! They will never get another dime of my money. The place once had good food at a decent price but it definitely changed. Don't waste your time or money.

I literally live for their oxtails, however, today when I ordered them it was like they were old. like reheated and served and it was like that for the collard greens too!! yea.... I don't like that
