OMG I had such a wonderful time here at 101 kitchen! The atmosphere is cool and modern. Great seating arrangement and even a stage for live music! When I came in, I immediately was greeted by Phoebe who was serving and bartending. She had such a wonderful attitude and no matter how many questions I had she answered very kindly. I had a purple haze cocktail; It was so delicious, not too strong and the beef stew. The flavors were great, spicy and the beef was so tender. You don't even need the knife! Great portion of food and delicious tostones! read more

Food was amazing!! Customer service was great! Very attentive. It was early so it wasn't so busy, but it was a great ambiance! :) will come back for dinner soon! read more

Environment: Located in the suburbs Cleanliness: 2 of 5 stars; Leadership/Management should ensure the restaurant is cleaned thoroughly at close of business as well as before the start of business each day; I needed to use the restroom at the end of our visit but thought about how the restaurant was presented upon entry and waited until I got home! The Welcome mat and surrounding floor area where we were seated had scattered crumbs/debri all around them! You shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover," so instead of leaving, I sat down and gave the food a try! Maybe it was an off-day, however first impressions are everything to me and the 101 Kitchen didn't come through with me for presentation yesterday! Food: Very tasty and plentiful; yet it was something about that steak that didn't taste quite like steak or maybe it was the fact that the Steak Exquisite Meal came with flank steak which tasted like a cross between sirloin, ribeye and something undecided! The (2) steaks came on a bed of fried potatoes with an egg for about $30! I'm one and done with this meal! My wife had pork belly bowl in which she didn't like; she sent it back to the kitchen and opted into a chicken and blueberry waffle plate for about $20! The chicken was thick and flavorful as well as the delectable Belgian waffle! We each had (1) glass pineapple juice($4/glass)! We spent $65 total with a tip! They have a full-service bar which might get my patronage later on this year because once again, they have exceptional service! Service: We received very prompt fast service and we're served our food/drink within 15-20 minutes of being seated! read more

This place was great! The vibes are nice, with tropical music, nice furniture, and decorations. Our waitress was kind and attentive; I ordered some birria tacos which I definitely enjoyed and would recommend! We also had dessert, tres leches and vanilla flan; both were sweet enough but not in excess. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

Googled a quick spot I could drop in to get me a quick lunch while I was in the area and 202 Kitchen came up. The restaurant is easily accessible with plenty of free packing. Upon entry there was a nice Spanish vibe going on with the music. Esthetically, it was very pleasing and nicely set up and decorated. I was greeted and seated promptly. Drinks upon sitting. Looked at the menu and decided to try the grits. The shrimp were succulent and the grits had a nice kick. The only thing I would have wanted added would be cheese. Overall my experience and the food were amazing. It's definitely worth the stop. PS....They serve breakfast, brunch lunch, & dinner all day. read more

We came here for lunch, so it wasn't crowded in this spacious, pretty restaurant. Great service and excellent food. I loved my Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The fries were especially delicious with a unique texture. Wasn't sure if that means twice fried but nevertheless really made this meal. Lots of parking. Would come back for dinner to check out the evening vibe. read more

We've enjoyed going to 101 Kitchen. It has a great vibe and great music. My go-to lunch/dinner item is the 101 burger. My husband loves the Argentine Churrasco, it comes with a beautiful salad. The kiddo gets chicken tenders and French fries- more delicious items. There is a bar where you can enjoy a good drink menu. It looks like there's a set up for live music. Definitely a great place to bring friends/family. read more

I was blown away by how good the fruit was! It's out of season and everything was so sweet. I couldn't believe it.!! the waffles were so crispy and good... what I took home and reheated at a later day was still crispy and good mind blown!! I definitely will be taking my friends to this restaurant! Dutch, of course, because you pay for the quality and it's a good quantity too!! read more

The food at this restaurant is great and reasonably priced. The bar service is slow there's always a wait when it's a full house. The restaurant host several events here a month allowing for great experiences for their customers. I just wish the bar service was better. I'd recommend you go on one of the non event nights first to truly experience the venue before going on a busy night. The salmon salad is great and fries too read more

I saw this restaurant on social media. I had to try it. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. The table we were sat at had dishes on it but the waitress said it was clean. I moved the condiments and my fingers got syrup on them. The table was still sticky. Obviously it was not clean. The waitress wiped it and offered another table. We said it was okay. We ordered our food. I ordered the peaches & waffle. The menu said candied peaches, cinnamon sugar something, I believe it was pecans, whip cream & waffle. Nope. I got canned peaches on top of a waffle. The waffle itself was good. Another ordered grits and they looked old, like mashed potatoes. Very clumpy. Another person ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich. Her bread was soggy and chicken was slightly salty. The home fries were good. read more

Service for lunch is slow and the Pollo Guisado had a rather.....unique taste to it. Rice and Beans were solid, but I'd pass for lunch. Maybe dinner has a better line flow and food tastes better, but I'd pass on eating here again read more

I love the vibe as soon as you walk in. The place is decorated very chic. You can take a nice picture with their decor as the background. I LOVED the food. It was hot and flavored well. The portion sizes are great and shareable if you aren't a heavy eater. The service was great and they have great jelly! I definitely recommend coming here. The price is worth the value and you will enjoy this. I came from out of town and would definitely want to come back if I'm in the area again. read more

While in the Raleigh area for the weekend, we were looking for a good place to eat and found 101 Kitchen which seemed to be a local favorite. Thankfully, we were able to be seated right away since we were starving. I absolutely loved the decor at this restaurant. It was set up beautifully with all the different mirrors on the wall and the super cute flower backdrop area. Our waitress came over right away once we were seated and described the food as Latin-inspired which made me very excited. After looking over the menu it was hard to decide on what to eat since they serve Brunch all day and serve Lunch until 9pm but I decided on Kevin's Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon jam (yes, bacon jam), cheese and veggies on a ciabatta roll. The sandwich was absolutely amazing!!! The chicken was moist and flavorful, the bacon jam was delicious and the ciabatta roll was super soft. I highly recommend this restaurant for those either in the Raleigh area or planning to visit. I loved the different food items on the menu and they even have live music on certain nights. The staff was very friendly as well. Definitely check them out if you can! read more

101 kitchen is delicious! I love the Latin fusion food. They have such a large menu I know everyone will find something they want to eat. From breakfast items like French toast to chilaquiles! From chicken tenders to salmon salad! Something for everyone of all ages! I got the chilaquiles but they used verde sauce and the fried pork belly. They fried pork belly softens in the sauce. So if you're like me and like it crispy ask them to put it on top or on the side. The portions are great. The staff and owner were wonderful. I love the decor of the place and there is a nice back drop for pictures. read more

I called ahead the day before for a reservation. I arrived and it wasn't busy. The restaurant has a nice mirror decor throughout. The restaurant is well-lit and has comfortable seating. I wasn't welcomed upon entrance. I didn't see a host station. I saw my party already seated and I joined the table. I ordered the whiskey sour and the Eggcellent Pork Bowl. The cocktail was decent. There was puréed orange of some sort in it that I wasn't in love with. The orange bits made it difficult to drink because it kept getting stuck in the straw. The menu referenced the Eggcellent Pork Bowl came with crispy tortillas, with zesty salsa verde, topped with savory 101 pork belly, queso fresco, sour cream, garlic aioli, white onion, cilantro, and crowned with a perfectly fried egg. Very sauce heavy with very little pork belly. May as well not even mention 101 pork belly for the dish. For this to be a signature dish I expected better. What little pork belly was provided in this dish was all fatty meat. A disappointment for me. I love pork belly. A stretch from being the breakfast fiesta described on the menu. It arrived at the table cold and the chips were dissolving into the dish. There was a good flavor but overall I left unsatisfied. I did not enjoy this. The chips should be served on the side. Customer service was average. Nothing here to write home about. I don't know when I will return. read more

101 kitchen opened approximately 3 months ago in Knightdale. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with multiple other business that share the parking lot. The restaurant is spacious with tables & booths inside. We were greeted once we entered. Our server was friendly & helpful. Currently breakfast, brunch, and drink menu items are offered. We were advised that the restaurant would be expanding their hours and menu soon. Complimentary bread was given to us prior to getting our meals. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and enjoyed it. An adequate portion size was provided. I got the chicken biscuit with potatoes. My food was served hot and was seasoned well. Two biscuits with multiple large pieces of chicken were provided. I had enough food for leftovers later. The dish is supposed to be topped with spicy honey but I opted to get the honey on the side. It was unique and tasted good. My only issue with my dish was that the bottom of one of my biscuits was over cooked. I was impressed with the food and service at 101 kitchen. I will definitely be back! read more

Previous reviews are what brought us in this past Sunday morning for breakfast. We showed up pretty early to beat the crowds (half hour after they opened) and we definitely beat them. There were only two other tables before us. One with one Gentleman, and another with Grandparents and a child. Plus there's a bar where another Guy was being served. Despite the place being almost empty it took the hostess a minute of contemplation regarding where to put us. First impressions (which continued) were they were not ready for customers and there was no manager present. We ordered drinks: coffee for Husband, unsweetened ice tea for me. No water was offered or brought. The menu has a nice selection of brunch and lunch items. All very enticing. We ordered and waited. We couldn't help but notice that the table of three next to us was a bit agitated. The Man had gotten his meal. Then the child was brought a waffle but it was missing some items including ice cream that they had ordered. They fixed that, brought it back and some time after the woman received her meal. Thankfully our meals came out together and looked beautiful (see pics). I've never seen bacon roses before. Nice finishing touches. My waffle had a slight cinnamon flavor and was delicious. Fantastic fresh fruit with it. Turkey sausage very good. My only problem was my poached eggs were RAW. Would have been an easy fix, but it was forever before we saw a Server again and I didn't care to even ask at that point. Was more concerned to try to get some butter for Husband for his biscuits. Do know that if you order poached eggs, they come Benedict style, with hollandaise sauce and prosciutto. Nice touches unless you wanted them plain. Husband's eggs and bacon were terrific. He wasn't a huge fan of the biscuits, even after he finally got butter, saying they didn't taste fresh. I realize I sound like I'm complaining, but we would definitely go back. There's a whole lot of potential here with some outstanding items. Hopefully they can tweak service a bit so that if something is wrong it can get fixed a lot faster. read more

LOVE 101! I stop in for the chicken/beef stew (depending on what they've made that day) at least once a week!

The ambiance is simple, but nice, the server, however, was delightful. She was very helpful and gracious. I went with two other people, and we all raved over our food. I had the best avocado toast and it was the simplest thing on the menu. It had a smoky flavor with lots of greens and a perfect balsamic glaze. I tried my sister's garlic shrimp omelet and it was fantastic! The seasoning was just right and not over cooked. I would recommend Kitchen 101 for breakfast for any one in the area! read more

If you search hard enough, you can find a gem in Chaindale. I had a guac chicken app and Argentine steak with a salad. The salad had strawberry, blueberry, red onions and greens with raspberry dressing. It looked nice and tasted great, very fresh. Cooking thin steak (flank or hanger, not sure which) medium rare and getting it right is art when the steak place across the street can't even get an inch thick Strip done right. Next to the steak was sauteed cabbage in a savory sauce. I ate it all because the bitterness of cabbage was gone. The steak had a lil bucket of potato cubes, not quite patatas bravas, but they were tasty, too. Chimi was served on the side, so the presentation of the steak was a little bit Here, have meat. Because I dined early, the room was empty, so of course the service was attentive, but also friendly. Two things could use improvement. The guac chicken salad needs a spa day. It comes out looking like something I threw together to watch TV. The green mound with pulled chicken strands running through it looks a little Soylent Green and the saltine crackers, I don't know, they look amateur when the chef is clearly not. The other thing is the dining room lights. Way too bright. Please set dimmers on stun. They are at least warm color temp, not that corporate cubicle "natural" blue light people oddly seem to crave these days. But they're squint-inducing. The food and service will likely make me a regular, and I'll bring sunglasses. read more

The ambiance inside is charming, with a chic interior complemented by an Instagram-worthy photo wall. The breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu offer an array of Spanish influenced options. The waffles were exceptional. We opted to add the fried chicken and they drizzled it with hot honey, so good! The food was top-notch, the service fell a bit short of expectations. We found ourselves waiting longer than anticipated for our orders to arrive, which put a slight damper on an otherwise enjoyable experience. However, the staff was super friendly so it could have very well been a kitchen issue. One highlight worth mentioning is the full bar and creative drink menu. Overall, 101 kitchen is worth it, Just be prepared to exercise a bit of patience when it comes to service. read more

Read reviews before trying. Was optimistic we found a local gem (in the area for a sports tournament). Sad to report the food was not great. I tried the pulled pork and it was super dry and crispy with very little flavor. My son had the burrito and it was not great but gigantic. Service was fine and everything else was fine but sadly disappointed by the food. read more

My son and I went back and just like before the quality of the food was good, the staff was pleasant and it is a very relaxing and non-rushed experience. Which makes for a great dining experience. The Frittata was good, but I preferred the Omelette from my first visit. My son got the Arepa's he was thinking it would be eaten more like the restaurant Guasaca (stuffed) so he commented that these big chunks of sausage that had to be cut with the arepa while good he did not enjoy the way if had to be eaten. The one thing we both disliked was the avocado chicken it was overwhelmed with a lemon favor and was the only disappointing thing I've tasted here so far. read more

Great service and comfortable space. Excellent rich hot coffee. Eggs and breakfast potatoes were really good. I did not read the description of the burger well enough. Way too much American cheese and other toppings on it for me. I did get this for the fried egg but it was a was mostly hard yolk so it did not give it the saucy richness a runny yolk does on a burger. Overall good experience, I will stick to the breakfast items next lime. read more

food was terrible. Service was ok. Poor girl was the only one there and had to do everything. Take orders deliver them and make drinks. Tried to talk to the owner. He wanted NOTHING to do with us, so we will never go back. Bought a dish that was suppose to have italian sausage and we got polish sausage. Totally not the same. Never, never , never again read more

Pros: The wait staff was very friendly and attentive Cons: Food was overcooked which made it dry and not juicy at all. The price was a bit high for the dry food. They play good music but it is a bit loud, in my opinion. If you pay by card, you pay a bit more than if you pay with cash. We only ate half and took the leftovers home to chop up and give the meat to our dogs. We will not return. read more

I had to run to Knightdale this morning and since I have nowhere in Zebulon for a good breakfast, after I concluded my business, I set out for IHOP. When I got there, it was total chaos, and my tummy and my nerves said I did not want to wait for what amounts to a trough feed. So I searched breakfast/brunch locations in Knightdale and found my way to 101 Kitchen, only opened since late October. It's a metropolitan, yet warm and friendly atmosphere, clean and somewhat cozy, with a Latino touch. The food, although priced a half-a-notch higher than the average east Wake eatery, is phenomenal! 101 Kitchen is an excellent brunch place with fluffy and flavorful scrambled eggs, crisp bacon and delectable waffles with sugar-free syrup, of course. I saw a couple of tempting dishes come from the kitchen. By the way, I watched as my orange juice was fresh squeezed! When has that happened lately? All the servers are skilled, pleasant and attentive, and mine, Katlyn, was superb. For brunch, lunch or dinner, 101 Kitchen definitely ought to be on your menu! read more

I came here because it was raining really hard after getting my nails done next door. I was a little nervous because there were only a few people inside. I was greeted right away. There's not a lot on the menu and I'm not a huge breakfast person so I went with the sandwich. It had ham and fried pork belly on it. It was DELICIOUS!!!! Everything was seasoned so well!!! I could only eat half of it but I could not wait to eat the other half. The inside was nice and clean and I am excited to try more options from their menu. read more
