R Kitchen

If you're looking for authentic soul food served with love, R Kitchen is the place to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing--the ladies were so sweet and attentive, making us feel right at home.The kool-aid took me straight back to my childhood--sweet, nostalgic, and just right. My boyfriend ordered the oxtail lunch with mac & cheese, yams, and red beans & rice. He devoured every last bite, which speaks for itself! I had the BBQ beef ribs lunch with mac & cheese and green beans, and it was nothing short of delicious. The flavors were rich, comforting, and authentic--exactly what you'd hope for in a soul food spot.If you're craving a meal that feels like it was made with heart and soul, R Kitchen is a must-try. We'll definitely be back!

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, but the food was just average. The pork chop was crispy, but it was not otherwise memorable. The collard greens and the beans were nice, but nothing special. The corn bread tasted damp.I love soul food, but I was hoping for more. There were only three small tables inside, and the dining area seemed to be stuck in the pandemic era. I wish the owners the best.

I personally did not eat any of this I am leaving the review for my husband (he is older) and already in the middle of eating called the restaurant to tell them it was the best meal he had eaten - I just laughed and told him to leave a review he said I did I called them. He had the pork chop dinner with corn, Mac and cheese & cabbage.

Smacksssss. Def gaining good weight off this plate. Love the greens and the cornbread was moist

Great food. Sending, friendly staff with good recommendations. I had the smothered pork chops and they were delicious. The diffs were good. They even had a vegetarian option. Great place

Oh my God this food is absolutely amazing. I never been here before I live in Orange County and we don't really have good southern food places and I normally go to like M&M's but I was in Lakewood and I found this place on yelp and it's my new soul food spot. I lived in Atlanta for five years. I know how soul food is supposed to taste and this food is amazing. Season to perfection. The greens (i'm picky when it comes to my greens) have the right amount of vinegar versus seasoning. The dressing is good. The chicken is seasoning just right. The yams are good. Just understand me. You won't be disappointed. It is so good! I'm glad I have a new soulful spot that doesn't require me to drive to LA!

It's wild that I haven't been back here in a while because the food hits. And they have red drink!!!!There isn't much in the way of ambiance or anything, but you go more for the food than the surroundings. You order at the counter and they call you when it's boxed, bagged, and ready to go. I don't know the name of the guy that took my order, but he reminded me of an uncle or a cousin. Like, it was just a very familial feeling and that's when I knew the food would be good. I ordered fried chicken, greens, yams, and macaroni and cheese and everything was so delicious. The portions are hearty so you will definitely get stuffed and you might even have enough leftover. I didn't try any baked goods because there's a delicious bakery in the same center. But, yeah, this spot is legit.

Their food is excellent. I've never been disappointed. I'm vegetarian and they are my go to restaurant mostly because they have a wide variety of choices.

I highly recommend eating here! It was SO good that I went back three days later lol. The service was amazing and I didn't wait too long for my meal which was perfect considering I had two meals toddlers with me.

Good soul food with great service.If you're used to your plain salt and pepper pork chop, then get ready to get your mind blown. R Kitchen's pork chop is seasoned with love and fried to perfection, it's truly a festival in your mouth. At $14, the portion is rather small, but it's cooked perfectly that you can work it out with plastic spoon. The potato also amazing. Truly a soul food experience. They come only with a cup of hot sauce, making you kinda want some gravy or sauce, but it packs enough flavor that it kinda can getaway without gravy.
