About Kitchen 216
Kitchen 216 Reviews
Went to Kitchen 216 for my first time yesterday I was completely amazed with the food. It was absolutely delicious. I had the fried shrimp yam and collard greens with smoked turkey. It was amazing. The wait staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back best soul food I’ve had ever
I stopped here for dinner on MLK day and the food was excellent. I ordered the flame grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. The sides were also very good. Everything was tasty. Even the pineapple ginger tea was better than expected. It wasn’t too sweet. The staff were efficient and friendly. The music was an added bonus - R&B from the 80’s and 90’s. And, the restrooms were clean. I highly recommend this place.
Every single time I’ve had Kitchen 216 it was amazing. I order easily online and pick it up at the time given. You definitely get your money’s worth with the portion sizes. Everything is always hot and has the best flavor. One of my favorite places in the area.
