    Catfish Combo
    Saudia S.

    First of all ! This place is amazing !!!! The size of their catfish is mind blowing!!!!! Jammed pack with flavor and so so fresh. The service was quick and friendly. I briefly spoke with the owner and thanked him for his meal ! lol it was that good. I ordered the fried shrimp, catfish, mac n cheese and fried pickles. For my little one, i ordered the 2 pc combo chicken tenders and French fries. Soooo much flavor is every bite !!! This place is a little price I will definitely be returning.

    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.

    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.

    The food here is great. I enjoyed the chicken tenders with the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was delicious. Would definitely come back.

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.

    In my opinion, this place doesn't even deserve one star. I was a regular customer for over 10…read moreyears, but I'll never be back. The bartender, Lucy, repeatedly added money to the tip jar without asking, which left me feeling like my money was being taken without my consent. The food has also gone downhill, and the area around the bathrooms consistently smelled like urine. The biggest reason I won't return is the new security guard. Based on my own experience, he previously came into the bar when he didnt work there and frequently made young women uncomfortable by hitting on freshly 21-year-old customers and staring at people from the corner and makeing nasty comments . Now he's working security and using his phone while checking IDs, which did not make me feel comfortable. I know this man and im not letting him take photos of my id for his stash. The atmosphere has completely changed. What used to feel like a neighborhood bar now feels like an over-policed club. Security constantly follows customers around, making it impossible to relax and enjoy yourself. On top of that, the security guard regularly smokes in the entrance, blowing cigarette smoke toward customers as they walk in. It's unprofessional and creates a terrible first impression. From what I personally observed, many of the other employees seemed frustrated with the behavior of these two staff members as well. After more than a decade of being a loyal customer, I'm extremely disappointed in what this place has become. I can't recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of better bars that treat their customers with respect.

    It's rare that we would return to a bar that misses the mark on nearly every thing we normally look…read morefor in adult drinkeries: They are not deliberately divey, but attract a divey clientele.

The food is not good. Greasy and generic. But the service is excellent, and they have decent pool tables... There you go.
