Good Kitchen 614 was my second choice because LaGlory's on Allegany were closed because they had a catering event that afternoon. Made the suggestion to go to Good Kitchen 614 because I wanted some homemade food. Very disappointed because every dish except the broccoli and cheese casserole had extremely too much salt in it and I could not eat it. This has happened to me a second time coming here. However the service is always with a smile, the food looks amazing and I really was disappointed in the taste this time. Someone that day was heavy-handed with the seasoning use of salt which is very unnecessary for " soul food" dishes. Visited on Saturday May 13th '23 read more

The Good Kitchen - Mashed potatoes and gravy green beans macaroni and cheese and broccoli and cheese casserole. - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

On a quest to find a delicious soul food restaurant that I can frequent. I ordered a couple of dinners so I could get an idea of how the food taste. I ordered them Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese and I also ordered the meat sauce and spaghetti and garlic toast. I had never heard of sweet potato cobbler so I had to give that a try. One thing that I noticed as I was carrying my bag to the car I noticed that the container did not feel warm. When I got home the food was barely warm so that tells me that I did not receive hot food in the first place. Anyway I just popped the food in the microwave when I got home. The Salisbury steak and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The macaroni and cheese was mushy (it had plenty of cheese, though) but I guess some people like their macaroni noodles overcooked but I prefer my noodles to have a some chew to it. The container with the meat sauce and spaghetti was so heavy, but when I opened the container it was like a pound of spaghetti and just a cup of meat sauce which made the meat sauce almost disappear when I mixed it all together. What I should have done was remove some of the spaghetti noodles before mixing the meat sauce. None of the food was hot just look warm. I have had other carryout food from other restaurants and even traveled a longer distance to get home, and the food was still hot when I got home, so that just shows that this food was not hot in the first place. I wanted to try their catfish but they did not have it so I just opted for One piece of whiting to get an idea of the seasoning of their fried fish, which was fried well. Lastly, the sweet potato cobbler was extraordinary! I will definitely return to this restaurant so that I can try the liver and onions which they only sell on Wednesdays. The customer service was excellent. read more

I'll start with the good, because it was really good. I called early ( around 12:15, they opened at 1 PM ) and the guy that answered the phone offered to start up the fryer early in order to make me a pork chop for lunch before I headed out of town. Now if that isn't customer service I don't know what is! I declined and actually just waited since I was so moved by the offer. The lady behind the counter was also extremely nice. So their customer service is top tier! Now for the bad : One Pork Chop and Two Pieces of Bread is $10! - that's way too expensive, I know inflation is crazy right now, but damn. Also if you order ahead over the phone you have to pay with credit card right then and there, I guess too many clowns have ordered and not picked up their meals. Also the taste of the pork chop was fresh, but weird. It taste as though they used the same batter that just put fish in, or fried fish in the same oil. It was just really unpleasant. I had to finish it though. Can't let $10 go down the drain. Ha Side note, be prepared to eat in your car or at home. There's a small little booth in the place but I don't think anyone would be comfortable eating there. read more

The Good Kitchen - 1 Fried Pork Chops - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Decided on a dreary day I needed some old fashioned food to warm me up. I decided to head to The Good Kitchen 614. When you want some great food like grandma used to make, you head here. Arrived there and Will and Serena were hard at work making todays food. Ordered the Liver and Onions, broccoli and cheese, Mac and cheese and greens. The liver and onions were nice and tender with a nice gravy. The Mac and cheese is old fashioned style baked. So tasty. Had to get my veggies in with broccoli and cheese. Then there is the greens,OMG, they're so smooth and tasty. Some of the best. After eating you'll be all nice and warm inside. The food aside,it's all about Will and Serena and what they bring to the community with their service. You can not find a better couple doing more. Get out and check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I thought I saw a new sign on this building, and then I saw a crowd the other day, so I stopped in as soon as I could. It's a little place in a small strip mall. Carryout, mainly, though there is a small counter where you could eat a quick lunch. Several kinds of fried fish, fried chicken, pork chops, etc. There was a meatloaf special the day I went. Choose your meat and get two sides- but you'll have trouble narrowing it down to two, so you might want to get some extras! It all smelled and looked great. I got the fried perch, with mac and cheese and greens; and smothered pork chops, with cabbage and sweet potato casserole. They also had mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, and a few other sides. The perch was perfect: hot, tender and flaky, light breading. The pork chops were very good: meaty, fried up nicely, with a good gravy. The mac and cheese was very good home-made style (though it has to compete with Sweetie's mom's pinnacle of excellence, and it is close but not up there.) The greens were excellent- vinegary, tender, flavorful. The cabbage was perfect: not overcooked, and a few other veggies thrown in for color. The sweet potatoes were so good I had to slow myself down. Service was friendly and fast. Prices are very reasonable- we got all that for under $20, and it was plenty. We'll be back. Even though Sweetie is averse to "shacks" (I told her it's in a strip mall, not a shack; she was unimpressed.) read more

This restaurant offers very Good Food and my husband and I have been patronizing their business for many days. I ordered my food and was told there would be a 20 minute wait on the sides I ordered (collard greens) and if I wanted to substitute my sides. I decided to wait the 20 minutes which turned into 40 minutes. I decided to check on my order and when it was finally ready I asked for a complimentary dessert for my wait. Another worker decided to challenge my waiting time and even suggested checking the cameras to verify how long I had to wait . (Really) I thought her comments were Poor Customer Service.... Good customer service is worth more to me than good food that is just my opinion. It would have been nice to received some type of apology for my long wait rather than a challenge (forget the cake) read more

Excellent comfort food. Prompt service and the food was packed neatly in the carryout container. This was a meal provided by a friend during my recovery from surgery. I will definitely eat their food again! Convenient location from my home is a plus too. read more

I've been here twice. The 1st time I had someone order me a pork chop with cabbage and greens. I didn't like anything but the pork chop. The cabbage had a lot of other vegetables in it, which was different than I am used to BUT it would've been fine if it tasted good. The taste was too salty and I don't know what type of seasoning they used but it did not go well with that cabbage. The greens, I actually can't remember exactly what those tasted like but I remember not liking those either. I went there again recently. Since I didn't like the sides I decided to get pork chops only. The pork chops were fine, they made them to order the staff was courteous and friendly. I would go back there again, but most likely not order sides. read more

Stopped in after seeing some good reviews. We tried the smothered pork chops and the perch. The portions are generous and the main dishes were absolutely delicious. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the mac and cheese (dry), but the yams, green beans, and broccoli cheese casserole were all amazing. The staff is friendly and were all observing the COVID-19 protocols for keeping clean and at a safe distance. We will definitely be back. read more

Oh my goodness, The TASTY Kitchen! My first impression was via phone call and the gentleman that answered was professional and polite-which made me smile and excited to see this place. I ordered fish and mac & cheese and broccoli casserole. Today's special was Liver and Onions and I almost ordered that too when it was brought out smothered in caramelised onions! The flavor and texture of the food was delicious, not salty, just right seasoning. Try all the delicious offerings at this establishment and tell everyone you know to go too! read more

Bought the 3 piece fried perch with 2 sides and added sides and shared with my hubby on Juneteenth! LET ME TELL YOU it was a plate full of divine yum!!!!! YOU will not be disappointed!!!

The service was welcoming and the food was fresh and piping hot. Do come and taste for yourself!!! Will return definitely!! Already recommended to friends!!!! read more

The Good Kitchen - Fried Fish Macaroni and Cheese Greens Cabbage Yams Green Beans - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is your quintessential hole in the wall. It's that for real for real. A suggestion right off the top. CALL AHEAD, due to the snails pace that they move in order to get your food out to you if you order on site. I did so and it took me 40 mins to get my food from the time I ordered. That would be my only complaint. The ambience... Well there isn't one. It's your standard hole in a wall ambience. If you are heading there don't blink while driving or even walking for you may miss it. If you see the Dairy Queen. You slow down and look for it on that side. Service wise: The staff is very friendly and helpful. They try to navigate you toward the proper choices that would suit your taste buds. Food: I went ahead and got the wings and whiting fish sandwich. I have no complaints about either for the choices were very flavorful. The fish and wings were cooked just the way that I like it. It reminded me of the fish sandwiches I would get from my favorite spot in South Carolina, Moe's. read more

This is a small, unassuming place on the same side as the old dairy queen on Sunbury Rd that you'd probably miss if you weren't looking for it. There is a small table for sitting but it's basically carryout only as the inside is pretty small. First of all, the staff were very welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in the door. Soul food is my JAM so I was super geeked to try this place and it did not disappoint. Fried fish, mac and cheese, and yams, amen. The yams were some of the best I've tasted, it almost tasted like there was some vanilla in them, the mac and cheese was cheesy and just right, and the fried fish was crunchy and seasoned to perfection. I also had a dessert and I'm honestly not sure what it was, it had a pudding cake texture and was the perfect end to my meal. Good Kitchen 614 goes on my list of soul food restaurants to recommend. read more

I am definitely a fan, but some things have changed since my last visit. 4 wings used to mean 4 wings (or 8 wing dings). Now it means 4 WING DINGS. Also, it seems the recipes have changed. I used to rave over the cabbage and greens. Now they aren't as flavorful and the chicken is cooked really hard today. Also, can you NOT repeat the customer's credit card number aloud when taking a phone order. It is insensitive and irresponsible. read more

Girl, I didn't even need the tartar sauce, this catfish special is ridiculous! Read about them in the Dispatch, discussed their liver and onions yesterday at work and had to have something from the Good Kitchen today! Across the park from our office, they will be seeing me all the time. Super nice ladies working even if my girl was wearing Bengels gear. ;) PS, the best mac and cheese. read more

Food was good and they deliver. This was my families first experience and I was not disappointed. Will definitely order from them again.

This was a decent spot, the food was ok but wasn't worth the wait. I had to wait almost 30 minutes for chicken wings . It's a good place to get home cooked food, if you have the time . Didn't have everything on the menu as well . It's definitely a great place for nostalgic food. read more

The Good Kitchen - This is the Fried Chicken Wings and cabbage with rice and gravy it was like this when I opened it all tossed around - Soul Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The best southern homemade food from a restaurant. I've had in Columbus since I have lived here for 14 years. I'm from a big city that has and loves good food; with/without the attitude, as long as it's good food! Lol. Keep up the good work, Good Kitchen, wishing you have abundance and success. read more

We tried this place today and I'm glad we did. First, walked in and was greeted by the owners... husband and wife team... and asked questions since we hadn't been there before. The answers were "would you like to try it?". Which made deciding even more difficult since every sample was good. My wife had the double pork chop with sides of baked beans and greens. She liked everything. I had Whiting fish with mac and cheese, and green beans. Mac and cheese were wonderful, green beans were okay. If I had to pick a weak link it would be the green beans. But completely edible, don't get me wrong. So I am glad that I Googled best fried fish in Columbus. It led me to this hidden gem. We WILL be back. read more

I was told about this hole in the wall bye my sister. She said I wouldn't be disappointed and OMG I wasn't. The food is awesome. This place is a hidden gem. The proportions are nice. The greens are perfect. As far as I am concerned this is one of the best soul food places there is in columbus. So perfectly seasoned you don't have to add anything. I grew up eaten truly good southern comfort food and this place bye far to me is the best. The owner truly knows his way around the kitchen. Kudos to the young lady taken and filling the orders, so polite, well mannered and very courteous. I hope this business does well and receives support from the community and Ohio Dominican College located close bye. As long as he keeps cooking good food, I will continue to drive across town to eat it. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. Next visit I will up load photos. read more

I recently attended an event at Trinity/CU in Columbus and The Good Kitchen catered the lunch following a dynamic speaker. It was so delicious! The greens are perfect taste and texture, the breaded fish (cod, I believe) was crunchy breading and super moist, meaty center, and OMgoodness the mac and cheese is the best I've had ever! I'm only in Columbus about once a month, but I have every intention of including The Good Kitchen as my favorite go to place to visit each time I'm in town. The best part was the professional and friendly engagement between the owner, servers and guests. Love it!!! read more

Excellent soul food. Dished out old school style cafeteria hot plates into compartment stra

Horrible customer service but offers good food???Experienced it once and probably won't be back. They definitely need to up their game on customer service and have more pleasant individuals answering the phones and working in the front. read more

Probably one of the worst black owned businesses I've pardoned recently. They were not following Covid-19, Coronavirus social distancing guidelines set in place by the Centers for Disease and Control and our President/White House. I felt compromised the entire time and everyone else seemed just fine. I don't know. I would follow doctors orders before disregarding them but hey okay. Aside from the extremely, unacceptable long wait, the food was something out of a horror movie. What box did this mashed potatoes come out of? Mac and cheese was decently, good actually. Salmon croquettes were not right, something was lagging in the first taste wave. Rice grains were cooked great and were not mushy. Gravy tasted homemade, I will give it to you. That cabbage though?? What in calamity was that? Did you blend in mixed vegetables with al dente, crisp cabbage? Chicken wings were not done enough to my liking and I don't favor the darker colors towards the bones, no siree bob. The area of which this is located is actually pretty significant. It's near the Historic Valleydale Ballroom on Sunbury Road, adjacent to the reminiscent Dairy Queen. The cashier, and everything else she was doing except changing those tired ass gloves she kept touch EVERYTHING with, did apologize for the wait. I would too, if I had to see my face looking angry for over an hour. I can say I won't be back and will not recommend to my dear and close friends and family. However, I won't go over the city talking trash because it wasn't that bad. Just over priced for the taste. Kudos to being black-owned and operated. read more

Friendly service and fantastic food. We moved right down the road this summer and I can't believe it took us this long to try. I am picky about bone-in chicken but it was so meaty I barely noticed. Batter is delicious and sides were fantastic as well. We tried the Mac and cheese, collard greens and mashed potatoes. We will definitely be back!! read more

The food was amazing and the people working were very nice! Nothing but a great experience overall! I loved it and will definitely be back.

I ordered The pork chop meal and had it delivered through Trap eats ( a new delivery service Black owned ) and I only received 1 piece of pork chop, instead of two shown in the picture advertised. I also ordered cabbage , which was nasty , it had different vegetables in it which i haven't seen in cabbage before like peas, carrots and corn . also the pork chops wasn't seasoned well. I also had the greens , which were okay not really seasoned either , and i had the mac and cheese that was okay , but could have been better read more

Ordered from here a couple times. Food was great both times. Fish, wings, mashed potatoes, greens. Everything was really good.
