Kee's #Loaded Kitchen is the best soul/comfort food in Portland. It sells out every day for a reason. Get there by 3 or it may be gone. We got the $85 platter, which feeds at least 4 comfortably. You got every side, plus fried catfish, fried chicken, fried porkchop, smoked sausage, ribs - all the meats! I think, for a lot of types of food in Portland, there's a really healthy debate about "what's the best" - Italian, Mexican, Thai, sushi, pizza spot, etc. I don't think there's a debate for soul/comfort food. Kee's takes it! read more

Kee's Loaded Kitchen - Chicken wings, pork chop, fish, ribs, green beans, Mac and cheese, red beans and rice, potato salad, rolls and sweet potato pie minis - Comfort Food Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Lee and her staff were friendly and inviting from the moment they saw me approach the food truck! The greeter took my order right away and even though I ordered everything on the menu, it was ready in less than 10 minutes. Now, this order was indeed large enough to feed four people! My order included Fried fish, Fried chicken wings, Corn on the Cobb, fresh Green beans, 1/2 of Smoked chicken, rices, dinner rolls, two small Sweet Potato cups, and to Peach Lemonade drinks! And trust me when I tell you that it was delicious! the only reason I give it 4 stars is because I feel like they can do better with packaging. They give you so much food that a tin pan or a biodegradable pan that can be sectioned off would be more presentable and easier to carry and serve. But, go check out Kee's Loaded Kitchen! Loaded is an understatement! read more

Been following you for years and years and been so excited to try your food. We ordered the ribs and chicken dinner service was quick and easy. We waited about 45 mins almost. We were bummed because you all ran out of ribs but we got the fried fish and it was great. Great vibes and will come back whenever we're back in town thank you Kee read more

Every weekend, I have to talk myself out of going to Kee's Loaded Kitchen. We all might be addicted to her fried chicken with gold dust. What's good: Errrythang! But the Mac and Kee's and fried chicken is highly addicting. The chicken tastes real clean like it's been scrubbed down with lemon water before perfectly seasoned, fried, and seasoned again. The ribs -- good lawrd I have to tell the truth and shame the devil: you're not getting better ribs anywhere in PNW. Kee's a true pit master. I'm so excited to try her brisket which I know is going to be fire. Here's the one thing though - you gotta wait if you want this food. Everyone has to wait it's just what it is. The good news is she has a lot of fans and the crowd keeps the wait interesting most days. Kee is also just so hospitable and talented I like many people love seeing her thrive. First plate I had was maybe 5 years ago and the last was this month. May sound impossible but her food has gotten remarkably better- more balanced. More addicting. You've been warned. Pro tip: don't even think of showing up after 3p if you want to be guaranteed a plate. My cousins always late and often snooze and lose. If you're local, you'd want to check instagram make sure she didn't post a "sold out." If you know you know. read more

I've been following Kee on Instagram since 2020! Could not wait to get to Portland to pull up on her! I ordered the LOADED EVERYTHING PLATE, and it was LOADED!! Couldn't even close the boxes! The food was seasoned and plentiful for a family of 4! That fish was my favorite! Wait, then the cake slice with that whipped cream---OUT OF ORDER DELICIOUS!! The misting fans helped cool down the Oregon summer temps and helped create the beautiful ambiance, along with other food trucks in the area! Go see Kee!!! I forgot to say that all sides are included and a drink !!! Likkeeee, where do they do that at?!?! You just choose which meats you want, basically! Just get the LOADED everything and spend $100! read more

We finally went here after seeing numerous posts. First off, ten stars for Kee! She is just the sweetest person and almost everyone asked for a photo with her including me! Her food is pure soul and tons of it! The sausage was quite spicy and we failed to be warned before my husband took a huge bite. The chicken, both fried and bbq, were delicious. We barely touched the everything meal as it was just way too much food! You could honestly feed eight people with it and we did just that the next night with the left overs! read more

The food has gotten even worse. She serves huge portions. But its quantity over quality. And she will say in a heartbeat. Dont come back. Im not changing nothing read more

Came here on the recommendation of someone else. You could tell there were people waiting for orders but there was no line. I saw the list of food and asked which sides had meat to which the woman said she doesn't know. I do believe this is information the person taking orders should know as some people have dietary restrictions. There was a wait for the food but it wasn't too bad. The food looks like a lot. I forgot what the menu said but online there were mostly 5 sides, we ended up with 4: Mac n cheese, green beans, red beans and rice, and corn. There were 4 full fillets of catfish. The seasoning on the fish is on point and the big fillets make it feel very shareable, but the sides were definitely for one person only. The sides tasted okay, but the star was the seasoned crispy catfish. I will also note that an appropriate amount of tartar was provided. The price: $45 is a little pricey for a 1 1/2 person meal with sides that you may or not not like, but if you are a big eater and want a little to have the next day than this might be your jam. read more

Kee's Loaded Kitchen - Catfish - Comfort Food Near Me - Portland, Oregon

First of all she don't play about loading the plate up with food. I waited about an hour to get the food. I traveled a hour and thirty to ensure I get a plate. Been there before and she sold out around three pm. Paid 45 for chicken and fish plate. Fish was good. Chicken seasoned bomb. Mac delicious. I don't eat eggs so I didn't try the potato salad. Now. My husband from Alabama. He knows southern food well. And something in the food gave me the worst runs in the world. I'm talking about cold sweats. Cramps. I was in my restroom every hour. My husband said most likely she re use her oil. Or I'm just sensitive to heavy food since I don't eat to much fried food or southern food ever. Im not saying her food bad. Because I do plan to go back again and give this another tr read more

Drove from Seattle to see what all the talk was about. WORTH IT! Can't wait to get back for more mac n cheese!

Celebration! I bought a house and drove 3 hours 1 way to celebrate. I have followed this establishment for over a year and tried to go a few times and it just did not seem in the cards! Then I had a work event and the stars aligned! I walked up and let me tell you Kee was EVERYTHING?!! Food was delicious, well seasoned, plenty of food, and KEE is! I appreciate having the opportunity to eat and support a local icon and legend! It was worth it all! Service was so quick and attentive, I asked and was provided with what I asked for. I mean a win is a win. Food court was friendly, easy to find and easy to look at! read more

Quick and fair service for more than reasonable price. Been in business for a long time.

We ordered "The Everything" plate and sometimes when you get the amount of food that comes in this order, the food is bland or something doesn't meet expectations. EVERYTHING was delicious! Seasoned well, large portions (enough for 3people) or two big back portions. Service was quick and the staff super friendly and engaging. Definitely coming back. read more

Yelp needs a 6 option for places that taste this good!!! We got to Kee's around 1:30pm and met a wonderfully helpful person working the window. She steered us in the absolute proper direction. We ordered the Loaded Plate which is believed to feed 2-4 people but that is a bit under estimated in my opinion, it will easily serve 4-6 people possibly more? The loaded Plate is $85 and comes with every protein Kee's is serving and one of every side. You can order extras of your favorites! I cannot remember the last time I ate a meal and every single item was fantastic? It reminded me of the perfect plate at Thanksgiving where all your favorite family cooks made their best dish and you over served your plate with a little of everything! That's what Kee's does and she does it very well. We literally can't wait to come back cause we travel to Portland often to eat some of our favorites and this place just moved right on up the list.... Literally at the top! This is comfort food at its best and when I tell you that Kee's is like some kind of Sorcerer of the fry oils, it's also an understatement! She is doing her thang outchea!!! read more

Five stars. Yes the price is worth the food and I'm a big back. I ordered the chicken x catfish. $45 for basically +15 piece of chicken wings, two large pieces of catfish, green beans cooked to perfection, Mac and cheese with the Midas touch or seasoning, Beans & rice (beans are Smoky & the rice probably my favorite as it has brisket & is flavored with a touch of gravy), corn, dessert, and a lemonade. To top it all off, the service was top notch. You can hear Kees in the cooking and vibing, the staff were friendly enough to be a person walking you to heaven from your deathbed. The food was phenomenal. Service top notch and homestyle, idk what more you can ask for. Kee's and the team, nothing brings people together like food. You all have something great here, and you can see it in the people that are eating around the food court and the way you treat your customers. F every negative comment on insta as they're too broke to eat this blessing anyway! read more

She's the real thing. This food is from the SOUL. Got the Everything plate: The fry is so light and crisp on that fish, wing's excellent!!!! The smokiness of the beans/ rice/ slow cooked greens! Juicy brisket with so much FLAVOR ( how to get more brisket!!!) didn't for some reason get any ribs? ( maybe next time? Got a smothered chicken/ rice / gravy entrée instead- good but would prefer more of that red meat goodness) ...corn on the cob,potato salad, Mac n cheese, the banana pudding all delicious. And came with passion fruit lemonade - huge servings ( family will be eating good for a couple days on this!) read more

I kept seeing people rave about Kee's on TikTok, so I knew it would be worth it to make the 40 minute trek to NE. As soon as I was handed my order, the smell was so amazing it was overwhelming. I tried my best to wait until I got home to start eating, but I only made it about 5 minutes before I caved and reached for a bite of the catfish. When I tell you that fish was seasoned like no catfish I've ever tried before, believe it. As soon as I got home i was so excited to dig into the sides, ribs, and wings. The level of seasoning I experienced with the catfish definitely carried over to every element of the meal. The chicken wings were my absolute favorite. I love the way their menu is set up. You essentially pick your proteins and they all come with every side, a dessert, and lemonade. It was a one stop shop for a comfort food feast. I can definitely see why they sell out before they close so frequently. I'll be recommending this to everyone I know until the end of time. read more

Visiting from Seattle, we decided to try this spot after noticing the recent uptick in reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was mixed. We waited a total of 1.5 hours, about 45 minutes in line and another 45 minutes after ordering before we got our food. We ordered the ribs and pork chops. The pork chops were a highlight--full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The ribs, however, were a disappointment: almost entirely fat with hardly any meat, making them inedible. On the sides, the mac and cheese was excellent--fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The green beans were also good, with plenty of garlic. Overall, while some items shined, the long wait and the quality of the ribs made us unsure if it was worth it. read more

Long wait..but service is impeccable and food worth the wait. Definitely feeds more than one person.

There's been a lot of social media chatter about Kee's, so with a friend in tow, we tried it out. Street parking, of course, because it's a food truck and it's Portland. Luckily, we got a spot right across the street. We both tried the fried fish and chicken combo. Usually comes 2 pieces of fish, but Kee herself gave us each an extra piece of fish because she felt they were small- shout out to her on that. I honestly don't know how many pieces of chicken were in that box. More than 10, probably closer to 20! The sides included: Mac and cheese, green beans, corn on the cob, rice and red beans, potato salad, a roll, and dessert. The food was mostly well seasoned (a little salty at times), but I was not a fan of the corn. It had some Old Bay seasoning on top, but the corn itself was tasteless. The fish was a little fishy, but if it was whiting, I've experienced that before. The rice and red beans were decent, but not mouthwatering, and the potato salad was a little bland. The chicken wings were great, but to be honest, they were the only things I returned to on a second plate. A TON of food, so bring an appetite! read more

Kee's Loaded Kitchen - This is The Everything plate. - Comfort Food Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They opened at 1, I got there at 1:45. They put my name in a list to order, said it would take an hour for the order and to get my food. Wow! After 30 minutes they called my name and I ordered the Everything Platter, said it would take another 40 minutes. Shortly after that they were sold out, so I got my order in. $85 for all the sides, fish, pork chops, chicken and spaghetti. 2 hours later I got my food, 4:20 pm. Ran home to eat. Hey, the food is good but I got stiffed on chicken (which was our #1) 6 measly wings. Are you kidding me? Never again. That was a nightmare. 2 hours and 40 minutes sitting there waiting. Get a system, the food is good but not that good. read more

Amazing food! Giant portions. The catfish was the best! Would definitely be going back soon

Felt like some food and found this place. It's a food truck surrounded by other food trucks. If you look at the menu the prices are expensive. You pick the meats and you get all the side items below. It's too much food for one person. Catfish was good...Chicken was ok....Greens were good...Mac N Cheese was ok....Baked Beans were ok....Pork Chops I didn't like the seasoning but meet was ok. Blood Orange Lemonade was ok. Sweet Potato Pie was ok. Overall If u want some food...swing on bye read more

Kee's Loaded Kitchen - Food Truck - Comfort Food Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As many have noted before, the #Loaded Everything is so very worth the experience. You get several meals worth of delicious food (fried chicken, fish, & pork-chop, BBQ ribs and pulled pork), samplings of ALL menu sides, dessert & drinks. It is all amazing. It is evident that Kee's also provides a strong cultural and community impact in Portland. While waiting my turn for pickup, it was fascinating to watch just how many people came up to Kee's to not only happily get their food but also ask to meet/see Kee and take pictures. It was very evident how joyous the customers were, and how Kee reciprocated the love. Kee and staff were very friendly, thankful, and welcoming. The complete cultural experience at Kee's is well worth the visit. read more

Her phone number is on Instagram so if you need to call to see what's available for that day or any other information, she's just a phone call away and I love that because her menu is ever-changing . So sad we'll be leaving here soon, but it was such a pleasure to be blessed with this lovely catfish, her fish is #1 in my top 5.

The hype isn't even hype enough! Food: This is a quantity AND quality situation. The food was absolutely phenomenal and there was pounds of it. Green beans were the surprise of the plate- I didn't know green beans could taste so good. All the proteins were fried to magical perfection. Sides were great: Mac and cheese was cheesy, corn was buttery, baked beans were sweet, and the potato salad was just like my grandma used to make. Portion: I would argue Kee's is the best bang for your buck in Portland. For $45 my partner and I had enough food for 2 meals each - literally the amount of chicken wings in this plate alone was worth the price. Service: Everyone here was so kind from ordering, to hearing the workers talk to one another, to being handed our food. Wait: We arrived a few minutes before opening and out our name on the list. We were 6th- once they opened we got to order pretty quickly and food was out within 5 minutes. We were home and eating within 30 minutes. There was shade to wait in and some tables for eating there. Motown and oldies help set the tone and make it feel like a welcoming atmosphere. TLDR: Kee's is worth the hype from the food to the price to the wonderful employees. Now I'm gonna go finish the cheesecake from lunch today. read more

This is well worth the trip. We did the everything plate and it was more than enough to feed a small family. The lasagna was one of the best things I've eaten. It was saucy with the perfect amount of acidity and savory spices. The catfish was fried perfectly. Food took about 15 mins to get. It came out hot and wonderful. We were a little bummed we didn't get the strawberry cake, but the cookies were good. The truck had a steady flow of people around dinner time. They have tables outside and a small area to sit under an covered area if it was raining. There is plenty of parking. Service was quick. It's located on a busy road, so not great ambience, but there are several parks around the area to take food. read more

Oh man this might be the best BBQ I've had. My group of friends and I got the everything plate which comes with every single item, side, a slice of cake, and two drinks (passion fruit lemonade). My favorites of the loaded kitchen were the burnt ends, wings, and dessert (chocolate cake). The burnt ends aren't super fatty and delicious. The wings are fried so light but are crunchy and juicy. The chocolate cake may look like something from a supermarket but it's nothing like it - its not overwhelmingly sweet and is moist for a cake. Overall, the BBQ is amazing. The sauce is brown sugar based and goes well with everything. As for the sides, the mac and cheese was bomb and the beans were great. A must visit when in Portland. read more

I had to bookmark Kee's for the next time I wanted some comfort food after reading an article of Amine's favorite spots to eat when he's back in town. Finally on a gloomy day it was the perfect time to stop by their food cart on MLK and get one of their combo meals. They close later but there was a call around 3PM saying they might sell out soon so definitely come by earlier if you want your pick of the items. Menu seems to rotate some of the items (ex - dessert and maybe some sides) but this time I got the combination of the chicken & crackfish. For $45 it is pricier than your average lunch or dinner meal but it was PACKED with all sides. I might opt to try the other combinations with all of the items since we missed out on the BBQ this time. For the combination we got though plenty of chicken to share and two pieces of fish. I really enjoyed the fish more so wished there were more pieces but the platter can last you a couple meals even if you're sharing. Batter and coating super seasoned so wash it down with the lemonade they gave with the meal. At times it was on the saltier side but I generally have a sweet tooth so that's just my preference but it was still good. As for the sides the roll was simple. Elevate it by warming it up and putting some butter on it. Greens/corn for me were OK as I would like a little more bite for my preferences. For the last side, I liked the mac & cheese to balance out the saltiness of the proteins. This time they had a pound cake with strawberries and cream that was super light and melt in your mouth. I never usually eat pound cake so it was a great version of strawberry shortcake! Service was quick and you literally have a whole bag of food to share for your meal! read more
