    2 PIECE COMBO

    We came here for the first time and WOW this place did not disappoint! I ordered the 2-piece chicken tenders with double mac n' cheese and toast with their famous crack sauce. We also added a catfish fillet on the side. My husband went big with the 7-piece tenders, fries, mac n' cheese, toast, and crack sauce. For drinks, we tried the mango lemonade and watermelon lemonade. The portions were beyond generous everything was so delicious that we couldn't even finish, though we definitely tried! The chicken was crispy, juicy, and cooked with care, and the mac n' cheese was rich and comforting. The service was just as amazing as the food. I've seen some reviews mention the wait time, but honestly, the 20-25 minutes was more than worth it. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and you can taste the love and soul in every bite. As someone who used to work at a soul food spot in Las Vegas, I can say this place is the real deal authentic flavor, great portions, and a warm vibe. We'll definitely be back next week!

    Excellent fresh squeezed lemonade! Just about the best Mac and cheese I've had. Love all the homemade sauces, especially the ranch which has fresh dill in it. This place is an unsuspecting delicious find.

    In the parking lot outside Hale's Kitchen in Oak Harbor.

    I had the opportunity to visit Hale's Kitchen during their "soft opening" on Tuesday (02 August). Since it was just a soft opening, they were running with a limited menu. I chose to order the Shrimp Po'boy and fried pickle slices. I thought the po'boy was excellent. Everything from the hoagie roll to the fried shrimp, and the delicious sauce used in the po'boy was great! Unfortunately, I thought the fried pickles were a little soggy. I'm hoping that was a result of being in a new space and not having everything set up yet. We'll see if they can get it right after the Grand Opening this Friday (05 August). I am looking forward to seeing the new Hale's Kitchen up and running full steam ahead. It looks like they have a great little space. They even have a bar alcove in work in the back of the restaurant. When I asked about it I was told that the bar will open, but probably not in time for the Grand Opening.

    5 piece tenders, fries, Mac.

    Really good, consistent quality, generous portions. When this place opened I knew it was going to be good. They had some major issues in the beginning as most restaurants do but the food has been consistently great. This is some of the best macaroni and cheese I've had from a restaurant and the chicken is always well seasoned and consistent. They always add extra pieces to the generous portions. Really glad this place found its footing.

    The chicken is really delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned!! Best fried chicken in town! Fried pickles, okra, and home style Mac n cheese are the sides we tried and all were fabulous. Today we had the opportunity to dine in, with a large group of 40 or so, and the service was impeccable, fast, friendly, and so very welcoming. Everyone got their food in a timely manner, and everything was perfect. Having had Hales food before by takeout, (and loving it) eating at the restaurant was another level of delicious!!! We also got to try the beignets today, and WOW those little pillows of greatness were a treat. Highly recommend. This place is great, cozy, clean, and friendly.

    Not really southern cooking. True Southerners would have hush puppies with catfish. That is not even an option here.

    Really good chicken strips even as take out. Mac and cheese and fries were fair as take out but probably good if eaten on site.

They are incredible juicy with their special sauce, pickle, tomato and lettuce. The patties are NOT thin and NOT like a thin fast food burger. Even the brioche buns are a perfect pairing. Thick, juicy and an ultimate hangry killer! Honestly some of the best burgers we've had in a long while. And the prices are insanely reasonable. $12 for a big burger and fries. I couldn't even finish it all. Also these have this really awesome Burger Challenge for $50. If you can finish it all in 30min it's free with a free winner shirt. It's a 6 patty cheese burger, 3 grilled cheese, 12 pieces of bacon and pieces of brisket. But comparing our large burger to the description above, I think it would be a difficult challenge. The employees are very friendly, helpful and happy. This truck is definitely worth the drive. Located right by the main entrance of Deception Pass State Park. And they have wayyyyyy better prices than the burgers at Shrimp Shack. I can't wait to come back!!

My husband got the one that has an onion ring (kinda like a western burger, forgot the name) and I got the inferno. I'll start by saying the fries were perfectly cooked and I thought they had a good flavor to them. The burger was also good. I asked for the inferno sauce on the side, cause the burger already has jalapeño on it, and boy am I glad I did. The sauce was too hot for my liking. No biggie just kept it off, it tasted great without it and wasn't dry or anything. I will definitely go back another time.

Food: Very good food. I ordered the brisket plate with creamed corn (brisket 9/10. Good flavor, good ring on it and flavorful + it wiggles which a good brisket slice should. Corn was pretty sweet but good). My only issue as a Southern spot it please include a slice of bread (white or texas toast + pickles with the meat plates.) the bbq is a homemade bbq sauce thats sooo darn good! Id buy a bottle or two! My wife ordered a brisket sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The brisket sandwhich was of course good with a buttery bun. The coleslaw (was lacking good flavor; not a fan personally). The fries were frozen fries and descent. We also had hush puppies; pretty good. Service: AMAZING service from Mia. Such a sweetheart and gem. She helped us make good picks from the menu. Ambiance: a very large building! When we went it was empty and during early day. Very clean, clean bathrooms and music playing. The look/feel gives more "country" vs southern. I was expecting to hear southern soul vibes on the music, and photos or items throughout that gave "southern bbq vibes". A dope touch would be dope photos of black or southern cowboys, and etc. lots of opportunity for a real down south vibe to be created. Overall- very pleased. I hope they have another 50+ years of business while stay true to their southern roots. Love love lovee
