They had the right amount of seasoning and flavor. I liked the collard greens as well. The yams were different from what I am used to, so they were not a hit for me because they were a little too bitter for my palette. Overall a great value for the price and awesome customer service.

Some favorites are the brisket quesadilla, shrimp tacos, beef empanadas, and the chips and queso. While we normally do take out, the lawn with the picnic tables is such a nice spot to enjoy dinner.

The meat really did taste as if it was refried or the grease was old. Definitely wasn't fresh. The macaroni and cheese was just noodles and cheese, no flavor. The yams were stringy. The turkey collards were the only thing I enjoyed. The "cake" was honestly a mini portion of a store bought pound cake. I felt totally ripped off when I could've dinned in elsewhere for a completely different experience for $30. The staff was very nonchalant when I introduced myself as a first time customer asking for suggestions. There aren't many designated soul food places in Raleigh and I feel like this is totally a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate because I drove almost 30 min each way just for them.

Their candied yams are DELICIOUS. I actually got their food 2 days in a row. Lol. The wingettes were not really fresh the first night & neither were the shrimp. I let that go because the yams made up for it. The second night I got a fish sandwich. It was fresh. My son liked their Mac-n-cheese. I will definitely go back!

I flew into Raleigh with a drive ahead of me to Greenville and wanted to grab a bite before getting…read moreon the road. Carol's Kitchen kept coming up as one of the better options in the area, so I made the detour. What I didn't expect was that "tucked away" would mean tucked into a commercial business building, the kind of place you'd expect to find an insurance adjuster's waiting room, not lunch. Walking in, the only other person there was someone waiting on a to-go order. My first thought was that I'd made a mistake. The space felt sterile, stale, more office park than kitchen. I was wrong. Minutes from closing and not planning to come back through town, I asked the counter what people order. Buffalo chicken wrap, they said. I added a kolache -- they had an everything bacon version that caught my eye -- and a side of bacon potato salad. The order came out in brown to-go containers, and I walked back to the car bracing for disappointment. The kolache was a revelation. I'm not a connoisseur, I couldn't grade one against the platonic ideal, but if this is what they can be, then kolaches deserve a much wider audience. That pastry alone is reason enough to come back. The buffalo chicken wrap was right behind it: hearty, full flavored, well-balanced, in a tortilla with just enough toast to give it some structure. The potato salad looked, at first, like it was skimping on quantity, barely more than a dallop, but by the time I'd worked through the kolache and half of the wrap, I was full and grateful that half the wrap was still in the bag for later. My only real regret is that the leftovers won't taste the same when they're not at temperature. 4.6 stars, what not a solid five you ask? Here's where Carol's Kitchen breaks my brain a little. The food is warm, charming, careful -- the kind of meal that wants to be eaten slowly, at a table, with a conversation going. It's a country welcome. But the room is the opposite of that. It's a 30 Rock situation: Kenneth Parcell got dropped into a corporate office building and started cooking lunch for the suits. The food keeps trying to invite you to stay; the building keeps trying to push you back out to your car. The two are wildly out of sync. Service was on par with what you'd expect from a grab-and-go counter, helpful, not warm, doing the job. Nothing to complain about, but nothing matching what the food is reaching for, either. What I keep coming back to is that Carol's Kitchen deserves a different room. A table-service space with a slower pace, somewhere a community could build around what this kitchen is putting out. As it stands, the concept of the spot and the concept of the food are at odds, and the food is the one losing the argument. Still, if someone suggested going back later the same day, I wouldn't hesitate. I'd just be sad about the room again.

Cooked cabbage was delicious and chicken was tender and flavorful. Many were worried the jerk seasoning would be too spicy but I tasted no heat while eating only after did I taste a pepper level of heat very mild. Bbq sauce tasted sweet and spicy. The mac and cheese was good and tasted homemade. The lemonade with pineapple juice was homemade too more sweet then sour but refreshing. Myself and several coworkers enjoyed our food from this truck and look forward to their return.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. We asked if the food…read morecontained MSG, and to be fair, the gentleman cooking (who I believe is the owner) did take a moment to check. I ordered the truffle chicken vegetarian dish -- it came out overly acidic, not at all like it came from fresh tomatoes. The cheese wasn't melted, the greens were barely there, and it was basically just bruschetta. My husband tried to speak with the owner about the food, but he was incredibly rude and dismissive -- made no effort to listen or make things right. My husband had ordered the Cuban pork, which came out gray and unappetizing, with unmelted cheese. Portions were also really small for the price. The only positive I can mention is the 99.5 health score -- but honestly, that's not enough to make up for the food or the customer service. After checking, it also makes sense that there haven't been any new reviews on their website since 2019-2020. Strongly recommend avoiding this place.
