V's Kitchen

UPDATED: 2/24/26@2:30pm We drove from Knightdale once again to give V’s a second chance. Our experience was bad. We ordered the oxtails and rice, cabbage/greens mix, and Mac & cheese. Both of our plates were inedible. We ended up throwing them in the trash. The oxtails were very overcooked, tough, stringy and hard. Of course we realized this when we got back to Knightdale. ****The manager was nice and processed a refund for me. However, my daughter paid in cash , so we would have to make another trip to Durham to get her refund. Which is an inconvenience. I appreciate the refund, but we still wasted time, gas and energy. And after driving all the way to Durham, we had to go back out to get food we could actually eat. V’s Kitchen, we won’t be returning. Disappointing. ORIGINAL RE

My son and I came here for lunch and unfortunately wasted $40. I had the 2 piece chicken meal with Mac and pinto beans. My son had the fish plate with Mac and Mashed potatoes and gravy. This was by far the worst soul food I’ve ever had. The chicken had no seasoning, the mac was terrible and the pinto beans also had no seasoning. Although the food was terrible, The young lady who took our order was very sweet. She offered “to fix whatever was wrong and make it right,” but it was literally everything needed redone. I left my entire platter there on the table, along with my son. I hope this was just a fluke, as there is no possible way there’s this many good reviews with the food being anything like what we tasted this past Tuesday. I was so disappointed.

First time visit while traveling for work. Was there about 4. No wait. Ordered 4 Wing Dinner w/collards & macncheese. Wait for food order after placed was about 15 min. Chicken was delicious and fresh! Collards and cornbread was tasty. Macncheese was dry. I otherwise would have given 5 stars.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dariela who was the cashier today. She politely greeted us to let us know that she was taking a call in order and would be right with us. As she took our order, she was very patient as I had a family order and she made sure to review the order to make sure it was correct. The atmosphere was nice, I can tell that there are regulars who frequent there which told me ahead of time that the food was good and they have lovely artwork to admire. I will be back again!

The food here is absolutely amazing! Every dish was packed with delicious flavor, and the macaroni and cheese was a standout—definitely my favorite. The staff were all incredibly friendly, and the complimentary sweet tea was a really nice bonus. I will definitely be coming back!
