Reviews for Hale’s Kitchen in Oak Harbor, WA
*EDIT TO ADD* After posting this review I did get a heartfelt and sincere apology to my email, as well as a full refund. I do... feel that this problem was well resolved. I'm soooo disappointed. I have heard such great reviews. They're chicken strips. Theyaren't great, aren't bad, just an every day boring chicken strip. Very much not worth the amount they charge for them. I gotthree sauces, the "crack sauce" is any other places burger sauce. Barbecue is unimpressive. Honey mustard is gross. But theworst part was the service. I ordered online and came in 5 minutes or so after they said it would be done. Was told "it's gonnabe about 5 minutes" and then basically ignored for the better part of an hour while other people walked in, ordered, and gottheir food. After 25 minutes I was told the kitchen somehow didn't see my order, and that they had started it 25 minutes laterit finally came out. Just to be disappointing and bland. I will say the Mac n cheese is good. Read more
I shouldn?t do this but this place is OH?s version of CANES. Don?t badger me too bad regarding that comment for those who know... the comparison????. The restaurant was pretty calm, relaxing, and clean matched with a friendly staff????????. The food?????Mytastebuds were not disappointed and overall I left satisfied????!! I ordered a 3pc combo with fried pickles and fried okra. NowI expected fried but not FRIED????. The picture shows it all. I would suggest to the owner/management to seek out a lighterbreading/batter option for the fried sides. I wanted to eat the pickles and okra without the half pound of fried breadingattached. Otherwise not bad and very glad to see the fast food options expanding in this tiny town??. 4.5 for the experience but3.0 for the finished food product. Read more
I want to start this off by saying the food is absolutely amazing. The chicken sandwich is delicious, the Mac n cheese is... delicious, chicken strips? Delicious. However, tonight we ordered an additional $6.25 side of Mac N Cheese because we wanted abigger portion to share, the portion you get is just a scoop of Mac n cheese smashed into a small 4-6oz to go cup? Similar towhat you pay an extra $3 for when you get a side with your chicken strips. We ordered our food to be ready at 5:30pm and itwasn?t ready until 6pm. It seems like things are getting slower and portions are getting smaller as the restaurant ages. Whilewe love their food, I don?t feel like overpaying is worth it. Hopefully they get all of the kinks worked out soon! Read more
Food was absolutely amazing. The crack sauce is a 10/10!! And their mac n cheese reminded me so much of my grandma?s Mac n... cheese! I highly recommend eating here. You will not be disappointed! Staff was super friendly as well :) Read more
Very good chicken, has a nice pickle brine to it. The shrimp po-boy was good too but messy (not a bad thing). Mac and cheese is... a must get. Everything stayed crispy with a take out. Looking forward to eating in the restaurant, it was very nice inside. Read more
These guys have some fantastic chicken tenders! Top it off with some mouth watering fried pickles, and it's game on. I'll... definitely becoming back for more. They were out of Mac and cheese, so here's hoping next time I swing by, it's in stock. I'mhappy they're selling out of items, because it means this brand new small business is getting the attention it needs. They justneed to fine tune the process a bit. No big deal. Keep on keepin' on, you all! Read more
They did an impressive job of overcoming all the obstacles to renovating and opening this new location. I was a fan of their... food even before, and have ordered takeout twice now in the recently opened space. Same delicious chicken strips, same tastyhomemade mac and cheese. Wonderfully friendly and efficient service, despite the opening rush of customers and normal kinks towork out. They will continue to be a favorite of mine, and am looking forward to the new menu items they are adding. Read more
Yeah wow their fried chicken tenders are friggin delicious, no joke! Perfectly crispy, not an over amount of breading like some... places and man oh man they melt in your mouth. Their max n cheese is real cheese too. Not the velveta cream kind, real cheese.Don?t see that too often anywhere. The fries were also real homemade kind too. I don?t get a chance to try their coleslaw, nexttime tho. I Didn?t have to wait because I called my order in ahead and it was ready 5min before they said it would be ready,nice n hot n fresh. Prices seemed reasonable to me especially for ?real? food, not fresh frozen. I dropped a pin on this placeI?ll be back. Read more
