First visit…definitely won’t be the last. This place is all that you’ve heard it to be…the food every last bite was delicious. I had the trio plate white was Whitting fish with chicken okra rice and potatoe salad. The lemonade is good buy a water to dilute it was a little sweet.
The owner was there cooking and she would come out and say thanks for stopping by…..and she ask us to be patient because the line was getting long.
This definitely is the spot for great soul food.

When I tell you everything was on point and clean and the food omg!! I’m still talking about it all and we all loved how we were greeted and how the beautiful owner herself came out and spoke and ask if everything was ok I was highly impressed! Go now don’t walk but run baby I promise you will not be disappointed and it’s cash only plus you order first then go take a seat til your name is called which isn’t a long wait at all!

I’m visiting CLT and every time I’m back, I’m coming straight to Ken Cook’s. I’m literally eating right now and boyyyyyyyyy this is a 10000000/10. She’s in the kitchen cooking and still making sure everyone’s good at the same time. Nobody outdoing this spot—trust me, go try it!!! Oh, and the lemonade was so good I ended up buying four.

Hi

My friend and I went today for an early dinner. I've seen them on Tik Tok and was excited to try. Immediately loved the decor. Very warm and inviting. You get your menu, seat yourself and give your order at the register. The host was very nice and helpful. We were initially confused how it worked. He was very helpful in the process.

I got the whiting trio with yams and Mac n cheese. I got a side of greens and lemonade: my friend got the same but enjoyed the half chicken. My food was amazing. Down home good. Grandma style. My friend loved her food and complimented the chef herself lol. The portion sizes are huge!

The greens were so good I didn't even need vinegar. The lemonade was also very good. The fruit pieces really set it off. The yams were perfection and the Mac and cheese was amazing. The whiting was huge, flavorful and fried hard just like I like it. The wings were just as good. The rice that comes w the meals was seasoned and buttered to perfection!

The vibe was good, The food was so good I thought about it after I left. Highly recommend. This has to be the best soul food resteraunt in Charlotte. And I've tried them ALL. This spot is the truth!

Disappointed. Found a hair in the Mac and cheese. The beef was bland and chewy.
