The Kitchen - Lake Charles

I've been traveling to Louisiana the last 5 years, absolutely love it here. Wanted to try some southern/soul food plate lunches, never have before, or greensSaw The Kitchen, and Tuesday was Oxtails..I was all inGot two plates.. just for me and my dog, made 3 meals from it, and I'm a big eaterMustard greens are incredible, bit of spice, Loved them.Smothered cabbage amazingBlack eyed peas and red beans really good tooRice is really really tasty, one had the oxtail gravy on it, other was basically their plane, I'd say, dirty rice, so yummyThe oxtail is incredible, falls off the boneThe girl helping me recommended the fried pork chop over the smothered pork chop.. it's the best I've ever had I think, just amazingBest cornbread toooooI'll be back for sure, gotta try the chicken next time

Went a few months ago and was a little down from the food to price ratio and the hostess having an attitude but we always give second chances. Didn't go back but a coworker ordered from there and I asked to take an oxtail as she was really disappointed given the price only to find out they weren't even cooked all the way and there was NO SEASON on the phone whatsoever. I think they spoke to the seller but she was angry with them. So I guess technically that's my second try ??‍

I don’t think nobody that owns a restaurant in the lake Charles la area have good food the only one I think had decent food was The Spot this food was nasty and y the hell was it so much salt in my cornbread I guess I need to start cooking

We went here for a business plate lunch. Not disappointed. Fried Pork Chop was excellent. Tasty Yams and satisfying rice and beans.Fantastic Corn BreadIt’s wonderful how they bring the Corn Bread and a slice of Chocolate Cake out first. Start with dessert!No wait, seated immediately.Friendly home grown service.It’s trusted homemade food that you can depend on for a great lunch in simple Louisiana atmosphere.Will return.

Y’all The Kitchen has phenomenal food (great flavor great service Easy 5 star
