    If you like spicy, 5 stars may be for you. Everything (potatoes, corn, greenbeans, pork roast, stuffed pepper) is spicy but the cornbread and cake. But then you should expect that from a local spot in Louisiana. Paper plastic plates, utensils, foam cups. I can see this might be a local favorite. For us, it did not measure up to the 5 stars we saw posted by others. An A-OK spot, as Yelp would say, for 3 stars.

    Wow! I ate here the other day for the first time and was impressed to say the least! I had the baked chicken and cornbread dressing and it was phenomenal! The staff was super nice as well. This place will definitely be on the lunch rotation!

    Home-cooking. Plastic utensils and a styrofoam plate and cup. No biggie. I had okra sausage and chicken. With corn and potato salad. Th corn tasted weird. I don't like when places try to get jazz up corn. Just serve plain corn. It's good that way. Potato salad tasted like it was out of a can. Not special. Chicken was chewy. I would come back. Good value for the food. Not thrilled about it like everyone else.

    Came in on a Monday and went for the pork roast, mashed potatoes, corn and salad. It was awesome. Definitely do the gravy on the mashed potatoes. Cornbread was really good as well. Great value for $9. I'll be back!

    Conveniently located for anyone working downtown, an absolute "Must Go" if you're craving some true home cooking. Delicious, quick and well priced. no frills and no drama, staff are great and I've never walked away from this place feeling let down, The Kitchen is now a must go for me at least twice a week.

    Love the food and service, lovely people. We were looking for home cooking and we found the best! Okra, sausage and rice was wonderful. Huge servings. My mom ordered ribs andd rice dressing, beans. She is a very picky eater and liked it a lot. We will be going back to try the other dishes. Not many tables and unassuming building.

    The food is always delicious--so close to how my Cajun grandmother cooked. And the staff could not be friendlier or more fun.

    I was in town for work and on the search for some good Southern cooking. Being a California kid, I got on yelp and crossed my fingers that someone would know about yelp in Lake Charles and write some reviews. I found The Kitchen and it was the best find EVER! I was running a little later than I wanted and rolled in as they were trying to close for the evening. I think they saw the dismay in my face when they said they were closing and agreed to give me a plate of food to go. I got the smothered pork chop, greens and yams and was not disappointed! I took my to-go box, found a nice spot to sit by the lake, popped open that box and ate the tastiest smothered chop I've ever had. And there was a piece of chocolate cake in there to die for! MMMMM...the Kitchen really knows how to cook it up and they exude "Southern Hospitality"...I'll be sure to go there anytime I'm in the area fo sho!

    Fantastic locally owned joint with down-home southern cooking. Love to go on Wednesday for fried chicken, mac n cheese, and it is great for barbecue on Thursdays, with a fork tender pork steak and delicious rice dressing. Good cornbread and always service with a smile. Love it.

    The food was amazing, the staff was wonderful, it felt like you were eating at your grandma's house. The mustard greens were tasty and the pork chops were excellent!

    Simply superb! I was taken here for the first time about a year ago. They have yet to disappoint me. I have gotten the spaghetti and meatballs, the meatloaf, and the baked chicken. Always flavorful, never bland and with a little kick to it. Id say the cornbread is the best in town. Also the service is great. I give it 5 Bams on a scale of 5 Bams!

    If you want good old fashion country cooking, this is the place. This local restaurant really knows southern cooking. I had roasted pork, mashed potatoes, green beans. The pork was roasted just right. The pork was moist and tender. Their cornbread was so awesome we took some to go, to take back to Houston.

    Hole in the wall and worth the find, a diamond in the rough! A cozy place for some down home cooking. The potato salad has good spice and flavor, baked bean are just as they should be. There is a daily menu of 5 choices that each come with 3 sides of your choice that also change daily, cornbread and cake. The cornbread is made in house and should not be missed. The staff is friendly and welcoming. An all around great experience. They close at 6 so this makes for a great lunch or early supper place, and is very reasonably priced.

    Based on other Yelp! reviews, I decided to check this place out. The reviews were spot on, the food was down home excellent. I happened to go on fried catfish day and although they were out of tartar sauce, everything else was great. The seating is very limited and was full, so I got my order to go. The gent working the desk was very helpful, kind, and brought my food out to me where I was waiting. I would like to see more tables in this place; with some advertising, I'm sure they could fill them daily.

    Don't let looks deceive you. The inside and the outside are not that nice. The food is absolutely to DIE for. I can't even talk about it right now because I'm thousands of miles away and it was some seriously memorable food. I personally loved the Mac and Cheese. The corn bread tasted like cake. Everything was so flavorful, it was DELICIOUS! Only 4 stars because the atmosphere really is a bit odd. It works though..

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Was in town, so I looked on Yelp. Thank you to my fellow Yelpers for another great rec. Went today for lunch and had the brisket, rice dressing, potato salad and green salad. The cornbread was to die for! It reminded me of the homemade cornbread at my family reunion in South Carolina! My friend had the pork steak and really enjoyed it. The menu changes daily, so I would love to go again and try the other offerings like meatloaf, fried chicken, etc. Also, the service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and always said "Yes, sir" and "Yes, ma'am" and the cashier made sure everyone was satisfied on their way out. I was a little bummed that they didn't have pie, since someone else yelped that it was great, but I was just as happy to eat that pound cake! It was pretty crowded for a Thursday lunch, but I can see why with such delicious food!

    OH MY WORD!! I was raised in Lake Charles and did not find out about this place until my hole-in-the-wall food connoisseur dad took me here. Boy, am I glad he did!! The food is sooo awesome, my mouth is watering thinking of it. Not too bland/spicy, but just right, and they really give you a good meal for your $$. Oh, PLEASE do not sleep on the freshly baked pies, which are individual pieces of heaven, even the crust itself is great. And the bread pudding is out of this world. Get here early, because all the tasty treats go fast!

    The Kitchen just recently moved to this location and it seems like it has been a very good move. They have a daily menu with lots of good home cooking. The place is clean and the people are very friendly. It's open for lunch until 2 , then closes until around 5 for dinner. The food gives you the warm fuzzies while it soothes your hunger. They currently have a special that kids under 12 eat free on Tuesday nights. I do not believe that they have a liquor license.
