Locally owned spot with great offering of food through the week. Definitely follow their social media to stay updated on their various offerings. I'm still waiting to try the oxtail. This is something they should consider doing more than placing on the menu only 1 day each month because the demand/drive is definitely there. read more

I was finally able to make it to Chicken's Kitchen. It's been a long long journey because he always sold out. Finally, for a special Saturday opening, I made it... PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME CLOSELY.... IT WAS LIKE A SNEAKER DROP.... I got there 30 minutes early and still were people in line before me... When I got in line the line grew even more behind me... I knew I had to stand and wait because I couldn't miss this opportunity of trying food that draws such long lines from locals! I finally reached the door! I was nervous if my taste buds would handle all the greatness that has people waiting in lines! This day they were doing a Party Plate Sampler and I went with the ten options! Because I miss baby shower food! I got a little turkey finger sandwiches, catfish nuggets, chicken wings, mac and cheese, jambalaya, crawfish bread, bbq shrimp pasta, deviled eggs, and crawfish hushpuppies... Listen EVERYTHING was on point. oh my... I was not expecting to enjoy everything. I need it more. I must go back to try one of the regular daily menus. Listen you need some food from here It's true comfort deliciousness. And after my second vaccination, this was the best treat a lady could get! Street parking is available, there is a lot on the side as well. Currently, there is no dining in. read more

Chicken’s Kitchen - Soul Food Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Man oh man. This is the place to comfort your soul with food. I heard about Chicken's Kitchen through a foodie friend, Camp. I'm from MS so I want a little southern cooking from time to time. But the thing is this is a southern cajun kitchen aka 10000000 times better! I went one Friday around 10:45 AM (they open for 10:30 AM). I tell you the line will be long some days but the wait is worth it (unless they sell out, and they do sell out). I was tempted to get the fried catfish but i'm so happy the lady and man in front of me told me the fried ribs was where its at. With this plate, you can do a meat, a main and two sides!? LIKE WHAT? My main was mac and cheese and jambalaya (only on fridays can you do both) and I got crawfish hushpuppies and potato salad. Carb loading duh. Plus the ribs, all for $13!?!?!?!?! Not only do they have plates, they have these things called chimmeys which are like eggrolls. They rolled out a new one - birriazy chimmeys and you know my big butt got two of them! I highly recommend going and they are so friendly, especially Marlon aka Chicken aka Chef. read more

Went on a Monday and got the braised beef with Mac and cheese, Caesar salad and peas. First off, I expected the peas to just taste like peas. Why them peas was seasoned so good I had to just stare at them for a few minutes?? The Caesar salad was hitting, you know Caesar salads be good. The beef had herbs in it which tempted me to pick it, cooked to perfection. It was good but after I let it sit and marinate in the sauce, by my second helping it was yummy! The mac needed a tad bit more salt and pepper but the flavor wasn't a miss, I'll try them out again and see if there is any change. The Amazing Grazing Chimmy..... mmmmmmm.... greasy perfection. For I've sinned eating that much grease, but it was worth it! read more

Idk where to even start everything was just so horrible & nasty! The fried chicken & fried fish was burnt to a crisp! The crawfish balls were so dry & tastless, the macaroni was so salty & peppery! The green beans were so sweet & peppery, idk man I've never had sweet green beans! None of the food was good-nothing! Even the potato salad taste like egg salad , save your money! I wish I could get my money back for this trash ! Threw everything out for the dogs to eat! The owner also likes to take creepy videos of you without your consent or knowledge! Be aware!!! read more

WOW! Lived up to the hype! Fried chicken was great as well as the blacked catfish with the seafood sauce but the Brussel Sprouts.....AWWWW Man! read more

The line was pretty long and unfortunately did not move very quickly, but the seafood dressing makes it worth it. Macaroni and cheese is garlicky and extremely delicious. Catfish was nice and crispy but pretty spicy, wish it came with tartar. Potato salad was fine but wish I got two servings of seafood dressing, which is honestly the best dressing I have ever had and I am still dreaming about it. read more

Excellent food and the best part about it is that it's in my neighborhood. I will be going back over and over again.

Food was absolutely delicious! It's the type of restaurant that is only open till the food is gone. A must try!

Great food very hospital. Get there fast, and get served quickly. But didn't mind the wait. Loved the experience.

First time here and let me just say the food is 10/10! This is some of the best food I've had in a while! I didn't have to add anything to it! The only downfall was the wait time, but it was worth the wait for sure! Reasonably priced as well. I had the stuffed half Cornish hen with mac, cabbage, and yams. Bussin!! read more

My HONEST review of Chicken Kitchen!!! I give them a 3 out of 10. The food was not bad just way too salty and highly seasoned. I ordered the pasta with shrimp, and I had the blackened catfish, potato salad, and hush puppies. The pasta was overly salty, it had so much cayenne pepper on top I was choking with each bite. The blackened catfish was highly seasoned don't get me wrong it was moist, but whoever made the pasta was heavy hand with the seasoning. The potato salad was okay I can make better at home. The hush puppies were the only thing I truly liked on the plate. If the food wasn't so overly spiced, and salty I would have given this place a 10. It concerns me, because I know we like spicy things in Louisiana, but this dish sent me into a high blood pressure attack. Like seriously, if I ate this everyday my blood pressure would be through the roof. Unfortunately, I can't recommend them to anyone I know, but all I can say is try this restaurant at your own RISK. I am not downgrading anyone's business just saying the food should be tasted before serving it to customers. It would be even better to offer less spicy options on the menu, because everyone is not a fan of spicy things. I would suggest, if you eat here please buy some tums for heartburn, because you will need it. Otherwise, I hope the manager will take into  consideration, that if want people to support your business then some substitutions need to be made. Otherwise, you will lose customers in the near future. read more

Food is so delicious. Just be prepared to wait for it. Also make sure you are very hungry. The portion sizes were unbelievable. I just wish there were places to sit so I did not have to take the food back to work! I'm excited to try each different day since the menu varies daily!!! read more

Now I don't give out 5 stars unless I HAVE to go back. And this is one of them spots where everything was on point from the service to the food. I ordered an array of entrees. We came in a Tuesday and ordered the fried catfish, oxtails, and fried pork ribs. Our sides consisted of the 5-star max and cheese, cabbage, yams, and potato salad. This the type of comfort food that is perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and will put you in a coma afterwards. MUST TRY! If you are in the NOLA area! Get there EARLY! They close when they sell out and people line up starting around 0900. Sellout is usually around 1 or 2 pm. read more

Chicken's Kitchen is the best spot for takeout on the Westbank! This review is long overdue because I never had a day off to try it. Nothing changed, I still didn't have the day off. I was just lucky enough to have a coworker who was willing to sneak away from the office for us. Be real, have you ever been to a place because of IG/TikTok and it wasn't worth the hype? Well, I'm here to you that is not the case here and the hype is still REAL folks. I had the fried catfish, braised greens, five star Mac and corn. Everything was exactly as you imagined it would be. Perfectly fried and perfectly SEASONED food. It. Was. So. Damn. Good! (Disclaimer: I wouldn't get the corn again. Not because it wasn't good it's just there are other sides I want to try. It was corn. I saw it on the menu and couldn't pass it up.) read more

awhhhh man! My boyfriend's cousin had been suggesting this place for over a year since we moved out to the Westbank. We FINALLY went and my mind was BLOWN!! All the food on the line looked sooo amazing I didn't even know what to choose! We went on a Monday so i got stewed beef over macaroni and cheese..... I was afraid the gravy from my beef would ruin the macaroni and cheese (i'm the type who doesn't like their food to touch) but it made it even BETTER! The thickness and richness of the macaroni and cheese stood up perfectly to the gravy and the beef was so tender you could eat it with a spoon. We are already planning our next trip! read more

The food was so good, I had to return the following day! Great customer service and a great deal for the money. This will always be a go-to when in New Orleans! read more

Good morning, Some of my co-workers including my Dr. ordered the waffle and chicken, big back breakfast, shrimp & grits. 1. Waffle & Chicken: Waffle was dry and chicken tenders was cold and dry with a lot of seasoning for a morning breakfast 2. Big Back Breakfast: The grits had seasoning in it like your cooking chicken went accent and other season that was put in it. Went a slice of cheese for 0.75 a slice. 3. Shrimp & Grits: The shrimp and grits tasted like barbecue shrimp it was very distasteful. The Worcestershire sauce was over powering the dish. It was very spicy needing for bread for barbecue sauce. The prices was not a problem even though the big breakfast cost about $10.00, the waffle and tenders was $10.00 and the Shrimp and grits was $13.99 mine you when my waffle was in the iron the electricity with out and they was checking the breaker to see if there was something they could do. At this point I assume that it was not done and the cashier replied on it looks okay. At the end of the day we had spent $30.00 in breakfast that was not very tasteful and looking for something for lunch now. read more

Food is amazing. The price is well worth the quality of the meat and the seafood you're getting, and they load the plates up for us like a nice portion. Also, if you think about it, you're getting two meals for the price of one because depending on how much you eat, you can use, say, the second part of the plate as a meal. If you're looking for something fast and quick, I would not recommend this place because even though the food is more just served in and put on a plate, they do get very busy and packed, and they usually yell it's a line out the door. The wait is probably like a 5 to 10 minute wait, but it's worth it. The service there is amazing; the workers work really well and serve the food up quickly. There is also a nice cupcake shop that sells cupcakes and cakes, and their cupcakes and sweets are very nice as well. So while you're sitting in there, you can grab a cupcake while you're waiting for your plate. read more

Rating is 3.5. I've been twice and wasn't overly impressed on either visit. I might give them a third shot but I'm not sure. Staff has always been friendly and the portion sizes are good. Parking has gotten worse in the neighborhood with many spots listed for residents only. If they were open in the evening hours I could understand that but they close by 3 while many people are still at work. read more

Man...this spot....SOOOO GOOD! One of my friends told me about them and I got up one morning to check it out. I recommend actually getting there when they open (10:30am) if there's already a line, you'd probably get your food by lunch time lol (I know from experience) but I promise you it's worth every second! The food is phenomenal, the people are great, and the price for the amount of food you get will have you going back EVERY TIME!!!! They have the best weekly specials. The hype is real, and well deserved. read more

Chicken’s Kitchen - Turkey necks over white rice, sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese. - Soul Food Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

1st time-Had catfish, red beans /Mac n cheese. Fish was tasty but Not my preference on the fry batter but still good. Mac n cheese ok. Red beans not my fave-need more seasoning. Said I would give them another try. Now the 2nd time was my last time because once I get sick, it's over with. Went for the roasted chicken and they were sold out. So I Got the same thing as last time and the red beans were spoiled. Idk if they cook them in bulk to thaw out or it was just too hot and they were left out. When I first walked in I kind of smelled them but assumed it was something else. My body confirmed it. Was on the toilet with a garbage can in front me throwing up and sweating. Tragic!!!!! read more

True Creole soul food. Exactly what you expect, plus perfectly clean and organized to the hilt. Clearly it's what they do, and they do it so well the line at lunch could take your whole lunch hour--and would be worth the wait if you're looking for home cooking comme chez Big Maman. read more

I found Chicken's Kitchen through instagram and had their food twice already. 10/10 both times. The first time I came here, the line wasn't long. Today though, I was standing outside waiting for the line to move. It only took about 10-15 minutes to get my food. The restaurant is small and they have parking all around it on the streets. Their prices range from $10-$20 each plate, which includes 1 main dish and 3 sides. I definitely recommend coming here and trying their food out. And if you do, come before 12pm. read more

It's a bit of a chicken situation. I really don't eat any other types of meat. You might go here snd stand in line but moves really quickly. I am pretty sure they were not around pre covid. You don't place order on phone, just get there before they sell out. I would suggest sooner rather than later. I tried the Wednesday special which was wings with mac and fried rice. Rollin. In will be back to try those Cornish hens. read more

The food was soooo good, it reminded me of my grandma cooking. The mac & cheese is perfectly cheesy, the turkey necks were well seasoned and tender as ever, the sweet potatoes were perfectly sweet & the greens were good just very salty so i'm not sure about getting those again. When walking in there is a desert bar full of various cakes & cheesecakes so of course I had to try one! I got the red velvet and omg! It was perfect, the best red velvet cake I had in a while. It was spongy, moist , soft & had the perfect flavor. You can tell it's homemade. It's a decent amount of cake for $5, so I would definitely try her other sweets out. The service was good and the staff was very kind. This isn't a place I can try once and be done so I'll definitely be back on another day to try another meal. With the price his plates are set at you can't beat the quality of the food! I was stuffed after eating but I didn't feel gross (iykyk). Overall, a 10/10 for me, I loved it! read more
