WAYNE’S KITCHEN is a great spot for soulful, comfort-style food that feels hearty and satisfying. The menu has the classics you’d hope for, and everything we tried tasted well-seasoned and made with care. Portions were generous for the price, and the food came out hot and fresh. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and efficient, even when it got busy. Overall, it’s the kind of place you come to when you want a filling, flavorful meal that feels like real home-style cooking—no fuss, just solid soul food.

The green beans were a life-changer. Transcendent. I'm going to be thinking about those beans for a while.

Not the restaurant we were expecting, but the food was delicious! Reminded me of Grandma’s home cooking. Definitely worth a visit to see what else the menu offers.

Overall the food is somewhat ok . The macaroni was pretty good . The stuffing was great . I did not care for the green beans . However what made it not so good was how they are making the gravy . I can cook and from what I could tell is they are not cooking the turkey wings down in the gravy they are making some type of separate gravy which does not match the food it almost taste like curry, and looked greenish so I did not like it at all . Usually gravy is brown . Then I ordered sweet potato pie and it was horrible, Would i eat here again , most likely not .
