Sweetness was perfect. I wish it had a few more strawberry slices in the middle. I was a bit confused as what was used as a sweetener. Tasted almost like maple but not quite. Despite that, I would order it again. I ordered an unsweetened hot matcha latte that was perfect. Service was kind and efficient. Nice and open space. The cushion on the bench could use a bit more padding. Would eat there again.

I try and support local businesses every chance I get, so I checked out Friday's menu and everything sounded really good, so we gave it a shot! You can go inside to order or use the drive-thru. We opted for the drive-thru. The menu had lots of options and the staff were really helpful in guiding us through it. I like to ask what's most popular and for personal favorites. I went with the chicken combo (3 wings and 1 thigh, fries, coleslaw and a drink) and my mom got the bulgogi wrap combo. The chicken combo was $16 and the wrap combo was $18. Both were delicious!! I love bulgogi but it was my mom's first time having it and she really enjoyed it. The wrap was HUGE! She could only eat half and barely touched her fries because it was so filling. I got the "yangyum" sauce for my chicken as I was told it's the most popular. It was described as a sweet chili flavor and that was spot on! It was soooooo good! The chicken was drenched in the sauce, yet still so crispy! They were really good sized wings as well. Shoestring fries are my favorite and they tasted really good when dipped in the extra yangyum sauce :P I'm not a fan of coleslaw so I didn't try it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Friday's of you're in the area and thinking about trying it. If I lived in the area I could definitely see myself going back to try other options.

I was searching for some casual eats in the area and this place popped up. There's a drive thru lane around the building though customers can dine inside at several tables also. There's parking along side and back for about 20 spots. On a weekday afternoon it wasn't too busy around 3pm, maybe a handful of other customers ordering and/or eating at tables at any given time. I ordered at the counter and the staff was welcoming and friendly, it felt like they put effort into making the ordering experience pleasant. For a 12 piece combo (6 pieces soy garlic, 6 pieces galbi) $29.50 and a side of sweet potato fries $3.95, the food was ready in a little over 10 minutes and they brought it out to our table. Wings and fries were piping hot and fresh! Def a crispy batter with a sufficient amount of sauce, the chicken was tender and moist. Sweet potato fries were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Really tasty! If one thing to pick on it'd be that both flavors of wings were on the salty side, a tad less salt would've been perfect. Regardless it was a great meal and they provided a box to take the leftover chicken to go. Would come back--terrific spot to satisfy your KFC fix!

"The trick," he'll tell you while delivering a plate of burnt ends, "is to position yourself exactly 7.3 inches from the top rack, where the smoke density hits that sweet spot between 'spiritual awakening' and 'temporary meat blindness.'" He tracked his progress in a leather-bound journal that's now permanently infused with smoky goodness. Day 1 entry: "Visibility limited, meat particles adhering to eyebrows." Day 15: "Have begun to communicate telepathically with the brisket. It speaks of great wisdom." Day 30: "I am become smoke, destroyer of cravings." The restaurant had to install a special timer just for these sessions. They call it the "Meat Meditation Chamber," and there's now a waiting list of people trying to kick various habits through strategic smoke exposure. One guy supposedly gave up energy drinks by huffing pulled pork vapors for three weeks straight. The best part? While sharing his journey to smoke-based enlightenment, he'll serve you the most transcendent BBQ this side of the astral plane. The brisket doesn't just fall apart--it voluntarily deconstructs itself out of respect for your taste buds. The ribs have converted more vegetarians than a bacon-scented hypnosis podcast. Five stars. Would absolutely sit through another 45-minute explanation of how the smoke molecules restructured his DNA while demolishing a plate of burnt ends again. Just don't ask about the time he accidentally fell asleep in there and woke up speaking fluent Memphis-style BBQ. P.S. They're thinking about bottling the smoke as a cologne.

Tonight, I had the most delicious sandwich I think I have ever had and it was here... at Cave Man Kitchens in Kent, WA. Skeptical, as I am a major foodie and the reviews here really left me wondering. But after this sandwich.. I am definitely led to believe that these people that have written these bad reviews could only have something against the Cave Man, be competitor-driven or really are out of their mind. The food I had was well-cooked and delicious.. seasoned perfectly. The sandwich I had that will keep me coming back for more was the Smoked Ham with gingered chutney. I am not a big "sauce" fan, (I would call myself pretty much a purist with food).. and this was the perfect combination of flavor... sweetness, caramelized richness and smokey ham.. even the bread it was served on was perfectly toasted and had a crunch yet was soft and beyond yummy. Each bite left me wondering if I was eating it too fast.. it was so good. I couldn't help myself. Now, I am all about food and no b.s. .. and I seriously want to call up Guy Fieri from food network and tell him to get down here and taste this sandwich!!! I hope that despite the foul reviews on here, (which seem kinda shady to me)... that you will give the Cave Man a try and see for yourself. Talking with the owner I learned this... the restaurant since December is back under the original owners (family owned since 1971). Roseanna Donley is manning the helm and doing a fantastic job. She is warm and welcoming and ALL about the food.. taking pride in ownership and in her father's recipes... and will share her excitement for the future of the restaurant and their food. She suggested what I have and was excited for me to try what she does. I brought home the smoked chicken and salmon.. both were tender, tasty and delicious. Not dry at all.. and not too smokey. So, in closing.. I loved everything I ate and will be a regular. (I also want to write here that Roseanna or the CaveMan have no idea that I was going to post a review on here. But after reading those shady reviews.. I had to write my experience. Hope it helps!) And, YES.. they are open! Cheers :) read more

I have to say I was very disappointed when coming to this place on Friday. I had a lunch meeting so we decided to meet up and give this place a try. I've heard so many great things about Caveman, "Bad Choice". First of all the Customer Service was BAD, the sandwich cook didn't wear gloves and I noticed her picking at a sore on her arm "Disgusting". We didn't have to wait long at all, but when we sat at our table, it had bird droppings on it. "Another Yuck". We proceeded to have our luncheon and discovered the potato salad was sour and the sandwiches were undone. The butter on the bread was barely melted, which left a film in my mouth and the beef taste like rubber and that sauce taste like they tried to season ketchup. My partner had the chicken sandwich and his meat was cold. I was very disappointed after all I heard about this place, but I guess the kids just can't duplicate what their father started. My opinion Go to BBQ PETE'S down the road, I know for a fact they have GREAT BBQ!! Don't waste your money or time with this disgusting place. read more

The only reason it's not a minus is cause it's not offered... My company ordered a pretty good sized order from them. Upon arrival we were disappointed. Orders weren't put together. Had to search through multiple bags for order. After all that the food wasn't good @ all. Totally unsatisfied. We complained to the owner she apologized & asked if they couple redeem themselves and order again & its on them. Okay let's do it...Now the second ti.e was worst than the first. Pork taste like fish, food cold. Missing some of the order. Just a terrible experience..And a few employees got sick & one got food poisoning. Avoid this place @ all costs..ITS TERRIBLE..... read more

DON'T EAT HERE! As much as I like to support Mom/Pop shops, this is not the place to go! They over price and under size for everything. The food is okay when its not soggy or messed up. Only 1 or 2 of the people back there actually know what they are doing when the meat, and everyone else is just screwing it up. As I have worked here before, I know that they in no way are up to pare with any of their food safety, the place is gross and should be closed down. Half the employees prolly couldn't pass an actually test for a food handlers permit, and don't be surprised if you get sick after eating here! read more

Old school Kent natives can compare Cave Man with the Seahawks. It's a legend in town and we are biased to love the place no matter what. It's prehistoric, primitive, and delicious; long before the term mancave, this guy created Cave Man Kitchen. Don't get your hopes up for some flashy Kansas City fancypants song and dance. There's no "au jus". Think Bigfoot. Take a look at the huge smoker while you're at it. This is no phony. Baked beans and dragon wheels are highly recommend. Smoked chicken is great too. Thank you Cave Man for decades of great food. read more

YES YES YES THEY ARE OPEN!!! The oldest daughter of the Caveman Kitchens has opened The Caveman back up. The original recipes, original owner. Their smoked food is basic Caveman and all is made in house from scratch. I love this place for convience it is a take out restaurant and only has seating outside for those sunny days which doesnt bother me much I just eat in my car or at work. You can call in your order early and it will be ready for you when you get there. The sauce is good and not too over bearing to take away from the smoke roasted flavor. Love it. read more

There are many reasons for there being "no holdovers from the Caveman Kitchen gang." The biggest reason is that they are all owed back wages, with some being in the thousands of dollars. CK's Smokehouse is still run by the Donleys it was just transfered to Patty Hill's daughter Marliss which means they are operating illegally as they were shut down by the government and told they were to have nothing to do with this restaurant. read more

Before I came, I looked at the reviews and there seems to be a lot of different mixed messages. For one if you're a regular customer and come in often, the employees seem to treat you much better, and when it comes to food they seem to have the better pick of food from the kitchen. As I read through one review they frequently come, they said that they are definitely changes in the service and the quality of food just within the last year or two. Given more history, I did hear that after Covid the restaurant lost certain companies that they used to get their food from which could explain the downgrade in the quality. I only took one picture because in all honesty it really wasn't worth me taking others and I don't understand why a side salad literally a third of the plate was eight dollars. The cucumbers had gone bad and some of the lettuce had even been wilted. The salad definitely was not worth eight dollars. I have had side salads with fresh ingredients for the same price at a dive bar and this is supposed to be a very well-known kind of upscale barbecue place that's in a well-known community that supports their business. The server was also mediocre and I honestly don't believe it would've been better but we were with a well-known customer, the employees seem to be a little bit more friendly, but definitely did not go out of way to make sure my meals were good. The macaroni and cheese taste very bland. There was not a whole lot of seasoning to it. Some of my brisket was dry and some of it was cold so that makes me wonder how long it's been sitting. The brisket was also kind of a seasoned, but not very well. The Tri-tip also was dry which I don't recommend getting. I did enjoy the baked beans and potato salad, but be aware because some cups of beans have mainly onions and bell pepper with barely any beans and some of the cups have no onions and peppers with just all beans. I have had a lot of barbecue in this state being a native of Kansas City and relatives from Texas. I know what good food is especially barbecue! I guess for this area it's one of the better places to go. The only other location that's nearby is Jack's barbecue which is their specialty is beef ribs, but they put literally pepper in everything so there's no flavor at all except for spicy!!!! At least at this restaurant, I'm not drinking a gallon of water because everything is so spicy like at Jack's but that's for another review. Thank you again for your support and following my review's. Has always be safe out there and I'll see you at my next bite!

Also came with 12 homemade flour tortillas. I started with the drumstick and the chicken literally fell off the bone. So juicy and flavorful. Side dishes were also very good! If you are expecting a mayonnaise creamy mac salad, this isn't it. It was light and yummy!! Beans were amazing, should have ordered extra side. Our meal also came with a green salsa and some sort of hot sauce. Both very good and complimented the chicken with a bit of spice. On a side note, my bf said the people working here were super friendly and accommodating. They forgot our tortillas and chased him out to the parking lot to give them to him.

excellent choice to support local and upcoming business. their food is delicious and sides are…read moreunique to the location. I really enjoyed the quick and friendly service. Will be back to enjoy other items. I had the grilled chicken and it was a good amount for the money.

I like how there wasn't too much batter on it. The sauce that came with it was super good. It's a hot sauce and has a kick. The bread that came with it was good/decent. The service was good. Our order was taken quickly and the gizzards didn't take too long to make. The ambiance is good. There's plenty of seating and it's clean and organized.

In fact, throw a little bit more pepper on the mashed potatoes and that's pretty much KFC mashed potatoes when I was a kid. The staff is friendly and if you haven't tried it, their soda pump has a flavor called pineapple cream soda and it tastes like a Pina colada.They have a good amount of seating so if it's not the lunch rush you won't have to worry about finding a seat. The chicken though, it's not very flavorful. It's okay, but not okay enough to make me want to come back. However, if you're just trying to stuff yourself, then this place will help you do it.
