One of the best carts I've been to, hands down. And a super affordable way to feed a family! We had the #Loaded Baked Potato- a delicious monstrosity with shrimp, steak, chicken, brown sugar bacon, green onions, sour cream, and cheese. The chicken was sooooo tender and the broccoli not too soft so it added a nice texture. It's her signature dish and it shows. We also ordered a side of fried chicken, which was a standout fave. The seasoning had a sharp acidity, a hint of lemon that took it from regular fried chicken to a serious contender for best chicken I've ever had. Perfectly crispy and juicy! We also loved the communal atmosphere. There's music playing, people are sitting around waiting chatting it up. It's definitely an atmosphere where people can bring their kids and relax. The staff is super friendly and the owner definitely knows how to make customers happy. She remembers names, takes time to make people feel special on their birthday, etc... all in all, it's a VIBE at Kee's! Pro tip: follow Kee's on IG so you can stay up to date. Some days she has a list, some days she's closed, the menu changes frequently, it's easiest to know you're going to get what you're looking for if you follow her and check her updates. Another tip: for four hungry people just order one meal. Seriously. Each meal comes with a dessert and a drink and is MASSIVE in and of itself. There were five of us and we ordered one meal and an extra side and we had leftovers. When you see the serving sizes you'll get why the price of meals run from $20-$30. read more

So I just realized this woman responded to my review. Let's be clear. I've had her food twice and BOTH times didn't know it was from her cart until AFTER the fact. Neither of the buildings I worked in have used her since, largely due to her attitude! Feedback is provided to help build people up and allow them to make improvements. Maybe one day she'll be able to accept the criticism positively and make adjustments. Hopefully your God can help you with that! read more

my boyfriend and I went over a year ago and we still don't stop talking about it. We got there right when they opened because we expected it to be busy, and it went very quickly! Employees were so kind and the owner was there working alongside them! We got the meal around lunchtime and it was so filling and delicious we didn't even need dinner. Highly highly recommend this place for their amazing employees and out-of-this-world food. read more

Everything plate is pretty pricey, not cheap eats. You get what you pay for! Definitely a must try

Best food in the United States of America hands down I was too busy eating didn't wanna make a review but this is bussin bussin!

Both people that assisted us were very helpful and friendly. The price for what we received was amazing! The ribs fell off the bone, the chicken was seasoned so good, everything was so delicious and hit the spot! First time and first day in Portland and it's off to a great start. Definitely coming back. read more

Oh my god this is overpriced and underwhelming food. On top of that "Kee" is rude and a little strange! Talk about unprofessional'

This was my second time here. I wanted to give this place another try. Went here and had the everything plate with meat loaf, fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. This is not worth the hype or the price AT ALL. Fred Meyers fried chicken dinner is better than this. The Mac and cheese was not seasoned at all. I can't even say under seasoned. It was like eating Mac salad with mayo topped with cheese. Meat loaf was fine. Green beans were actually seasoned. Fried chicken tasted and looked like it was fried in old oil. I cannot justify the price. read more

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

I would leave zero stars if I could, worst customer experience from the most undeserving business . I got to Kees 30 minutes before opening put my name on the list waited three hours for a non "loaded" Christmas meal that was THE SAME PRICE as everyone else's. I was missing Mac and cheese, dessert, gravy and nothing was offered to make up for the mishap. By the time our number got called it was too late to go anywhere else it's Christmas Day. I follow her on various social media pages and reached out direct to see if she would make it right. Her response was beyond unprofessional and I attached the message for transparency since she chooses to also block customers who leave bad reviews . It was my first time and my last time. I'm going to take my money to a business who appreciates their customers read more

Believe the hype. Kee's has the BEST fried chicken. She makes that true homemade friend chicken, but with an added zing. Not only is it crispy, but it isn't that heavy greasy batter. There are hints of lemon, pepper and amazing flavors. The portions of the plates are super generous and shareable. The sides were equally as tasty as the friend chicken. We loved the Mac n' Cheese! Our dessert was a homemade snickerdoodle cupcake and it was to die for! We came to Portland with high food truck expectations and Kee's hit it out of the ballpark. In addition to amazing food, we got to meet Kee! She was warm and friendly, and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into the food. The best meal we had in Portland and I can't wait to return!! read more

Check out this legit smokehouse. I got a special sneak peek of the brisket going on the smoker the day before.

My son is obsessed with bbq and saw this place on "Street Food" (Netflix) a while back. He kept saying we had to go if we were ever in Portland. After a few days in Cannon Beach we decided to take a detour to #Loaded before heading home. It was SO worth it. We got there a few minutes before opening and put our name on the list. We waited for about 20 minutes to be called and ordered the Loaded Everything. They had it ready quick considering how much food we got! $85 might sound like a lot, but considering it could feed six it really is a great price! It came with tons of chicken wings, 2 generous pieces of fried crackfish, a chicken fried pork chop, pulled pork, brisket, greens, bbq beans, mac, potato salad, corn on the cob, rolls, lemonade (tasted like it had some mango in it too. Yum!) and a slice of lemon Bundt cake. We ate a ton and it hardly looked like we made a dent. Brought it home and made lunch for 3 and we still have enough for a small dinner for 3 again! Every bit of the meal was delicious. The highlights were the crackfish-- perfectly breaded, spiced and crispy with a tender inside and no nasty fishy flavor. Dipped in hot sauce made it even more amazing. I ate almost all of the 2 huge pieces myself. The pulled pork had that beautiful sweet and smokey flavor and the brisket was nice and smokey as well. Greens were on point-- tender, smokey, with a hint of sweetness and a tiny kick. I don't usually like bbq beans, but these were SO tasty! I could go on and on. Really don't have anything negative to call out. Really nice people and amazing food at a very fair price. Bonus, as we were waiting, another chef (Ruthie's) featured on the Portland "Street Food" episode walked up, introduced himself to Kee and ordered. Fun foodie moment. When we're back in Portland, will definitely stop by again! read more

This was a great find! I've been craving good soul food for a while now! I'm glad I finally found it! We tried the Crack Fish dinner. They give huge portions for an excellent price. Will definitely be back in the future. Keep up the great work read more

I took my kid during a visit to Portland and they looovved the food. They said the food was delish! The owner was also very sweet and made us feel like family. I would visit again without question. read more

I rate Kee's loaded kitchen a 10/10 from top to bottom. Everything was amazing! The service was Keith Lee-approved, and the environment was neat and clean. I enjoyed every bite, but I had to call in reinforcement to help me with my dinner. One dinner feeds 3 people! Let me say that again!!! 1 dinner can feed 3 grown people and have them all in a food comma! read more

SO GOOD! As I like to tell people, this place is FAT BOY APPROVED! Had our choice of Chicken ($26), Meatloaf ($30) or Catfish ($30) or ALL OF THEM ($45). They give you enough for two big boys or three regular-sized people. Everything tasted amazing and the people are so nice. read more

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

WOAH! This was such a wonderful, delicious experience! We got there about 15 minutes before they opened, and there was a line around the corner coming in. We waited (very excitedly) and ended up not being able to wait to take it home and ate it on a stoop around the corner!! Delicious! We got the brisket, greens, mac n cheese, beans, potato salad and strawberry shortcake. I asked, "is this enough food for two people" and the woman laughed... now I understand why. ENOUGH FOOD FOR SURE, but we also did absolutely eat it all! read more

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

Stopped by today for a little bit of everything plate! The plates are literally loaded down with food and in my opinion shareable for you and a few friends. The cons of this experience is the excessive wait time . I waited in line after putting my name on a list for almost 1.45 hours just to get a number to then get a plate. The price was also super expensive $85 and not sure if I would revisit. They give you food to feed a family of 6 and tasted good. I didn't need that much but that's the only way it's sold. I was not alone as everything sat waiting patiently which was a sign that the food had to be good. There is music playing outside with a few chairs, very few, and limited places to eat. The meal that I had included all of the following: Mac and cheese, corn and cabbage, catfish, wings, brisket, ribs, sausage and pork chops. Wow! The wait time killed it for me and the lack of organization to just get something to eat. The area has nothing around so you are stuck just waiting. read more

I have finally tasted what everyone is talking about!!! I can't believe how crazy excited I was to finally get an enormous plate of this famous lady's food! Kee, you are amazing, hands down a heart breaker because how am I suppose to live without you now. The brisket was tender, moist and the smoked flavors...bomb! The fried chicken wings are now the only wings I will ever want and the sides were too good! I ate it all and it comes with it all...it is #LOADED. I just couldn't stop! I follow her on Instagram because I've heard this is the only way to stalk her and figure out her schedule cuz this lady busy AF. I want to throw a huge party for myself and ask her to cater cuz she is that good. read more

Just seen this place on Netflix. Definitely going to get myself to Portland just to try the loaded plate.

Delicious! Kee takes everyday ingredients that most people have laying around their kitchen and turns it into something special. Be sure to bring your appetite. read more

It's so good, I haven't even finished eating. I needed to drop this five star review before I even finish the last bite cause I know Imma be thinking about this food when it's gone. They nailed it. read more

Kee's Loaded Kitchen - The loaded everything - Comfort Food Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Really really good food and even petter is the person behind it all! Each dinner meal is pricey but one order of this can feed an army! I came right when they opened and there was already a line. We were number 17 and we waited about 1.5 hours. However it seems like the line stopped shortly after us so new people who came in line only waited 20 mins or so for their food. It's a mixed bag since wait times can vary. We ordered a lasagna dinner with an extra side order of wings. The lasagna dinner comes with dinner roll, garlic knots, green beans, wings, dessert and a drink. Lasagna is solid and the wings were unforgettable! They smell exactly like salt and pepper wings you get in Chinese restaurants, very unexpected but so, so good! Oh, and if you aren't following Kee on IG, you must! Every time I watch her prepare food for the next day, I feel like she's inviting me to her warm home for dinner! read more

So my Fiancée is the true Fab Foodie. She has been following Kee for awhile now. After she went on a week of catering hiatus, she came back to the cart. We scheduled our day around going. We got there 30 minutes prior to her opening and we were 6th in line. After more than 20 glorious plates of food went out, and the infectious aromas had us fully salivating, it was our turn. We ordered two fully loaded and engaged on the more than 4lbs of sheer food heaven. We brought home what we couldn't finish and now our kitchen is immersed in all the goodness of BBQ and smoke. I am now out taking care of business, but can't focus on anything as all I want to do is get home and dive in again. Oh and by the way we are pescatarians but only for greatness do we indulge. We will now be indulging often read more

Unbelievable quality and quantity. We made sure to show up early to get this banging food and she did NOT DISAPPOINT! Her vibe and energy is cooked right into her food and it overflows with culture and flavor! The banana pudding basically put me into a food coma and I'm not complaining. One plate of food weighs the same amount as a small elephant. read more

Went here after an 8 mile hike so we were hungry! Me and my bf ate the whole plate. We got the chicken plate with Mac and cheese. It came with chicken wings, Mac and cheese, corn, and a drink, for $25. So amazing. Plain and simple. Can't wait to come back! read more

Gold dusted chicken is A1 ribs is fall of the bone and that sauce is very good! Drooling as I write this overdue review! I had Kees bookmarked for about 3 years at least and been hypnotized by her posts ever since. GoT to meet Kee and see the team and hang out with bunny for a bit (what a sweet pea!) portions were good for 2-3 people with leftovers for dinner. We literally ate it for lunch and dinner and I wished we went at least 3x during our stay in the city of roses. Sides were amazing, Kee was very sweet and took care of my family. Will be back everytime! read more

Food was amazing, seeing Kee was amazing she was kind and super sweet and the food was super yummy. Best BBQ sauce ever!!! If you haven't already, go try this food! read more

She gives very generous portions. Enough to feed 2 people . You would have to be extra hungry to eat a whole plate in her case a platter of food overloaded in 1 sometimes 2 containers. She's friendly to all her customers and makes them feel welcome. She's very popular and plan to wait in line so dress for the weather. I would suggest arriving early as possible to be assigned a number and be place on the list. She stays busy but, Her busiest days are Saturday and Sunday. She's really strict about her food quality and behind the scenes she runs a tight ship. She's requires perfect attendance when you work for her, because she wants to be there for the people. She's very clean and has passed all her inspections with flying colors. She is voted #1 food cart in Portland. Her instagram followers runs to 10's of thousands at the very least pass 50,000 .She has surpassed all stereotypes of a Single African American woman with children that have had some challenges and have overcame them all . She admits she may not be for everybody but everybody seems to love her read more

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago! She makes the BEST food on the planet! The chicken is perfect, everything was perfect even the lemonade was the best I had ever tried! You even get enough food to feed 2 people, for 2 extra meals. Kee is also a sweetheart and always says hi to everyone, even if she has things going on, I highly recommend this place! read more

Wonderful customer service, delicious food and phenomenal portions. I tried the chicken plate but I will be back to try the catfish. This is the best soul food that I have found in Portland so far. Get there early because the food does run out quick. I got there just an hour before closing and was blessed enough to get the last of what they had. read more

How did I not know about this place? I woke up this morning still thinking about it. First off, you arrive to a happy greeting of people loving what they're doing. A glance at the menu, you see prices you weren't prepared for but a glance doesn't tell the whole story. $45 for a rib dinner? Then we add sides? How many sides? It turns out $45 is for the main you choose and EVERY SIDE listed AND dessert AND a drink. And they do not serve the sides with a tablespoon, the sides are heaping and overflowing. Yams, collard greens, baked beans, potato salad, Mac and cheese. The greens, fantastic. It's all fantastic. We ordered a pork ribs dinner with a side of catfish which was freaking aaamazzzing! When we got our order we sat at one of their tables to have the catfish before it cooled. I knocked my lemonade on the ground, the gal at the window immediately said, "come on, I'll give you another one". I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing because that stuff is like liquid crack to me. It is so freaking good. If I lived closer, I would be hassling them for jugs of it. I would blather on and on about how good each one of the dishes is, but why, I'll just say GO. We split the ribs, catfish, and all of the sides, and I still have enough left for two more meals. Full meals. You must go. Great people. Fab food. #GO On MLK JUST north of Alberta on the east side of the street. read more

We drove all the way from Seattle Washington just to sample kees Loaded Kitchen. It was worth every mile. The beef brisket was very tender, the chicken was hot out the oil and perfect, the ribs we're so tender and don't get me started on the mac and cheese just perfection. I was determined to eat everything in one sitting but I just couldn't I ended up eating on that full plate for 2 days.
