I had the fried pork chop, double potato salad, hush puppies and drink. It is $10 for all that!!! Food was fresh and amazing along with perfect service!!! I would recommend this 10 out of 10!!! Meat 2 sides a bread and drink for less then fast food !!! So many choices to chose from each day that you won't get bored eating there!! Go support this local business!!! The owners supermarket burned down and we want to help him rebuild it asap so be a part of this movement!!!

We ate at Kinlaw's 2 times in a week. It's down home southern. I can't say one thing bad about this place. You won't be sorry you tried it. I'd go if I was within 2 hours of the place. So worth the drive. Don't miss the market next door.

Note - if you have preexisting medical conditions I do not recommend eating here. However, if you don't you should definitely show up before 10AM because when they run out of food that's it. By chance and circumstances I was able to get the veryast biscuit of the morning. And let me tell you it was a fine, excellent, flacky, delicious biscuit. All the food is going to kill you. But at least it taste good going down.

Always the best every time I go. Stew beef and rice, green beans hits it with precision. Pulled pork is great with Texas Pete and slaw on a bun. Hushpuppys are great too.

Most of the food is great but sometimes it can be too salty for me like the stew beef and rice awesome ! But Chicken pastry is too salty for me. Their ice tea and lemonade are awesome!!!!

Southern cooking at its best! Let's just start by saying $7.00 for breakfast and $8.00 for lunch which includes your drink of choice and tipping is not necessary but if can spare it is probably much appreciated! Customer service with a smile and once you finish eating you can skip the next meal of the day because you will be completely full. Whether it is their breakfast or lunch your plate will be as full or fuller than most restaurants. You can also get individual breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches like barbecue sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, hamburgers or hotdogs if you don’t want a platter.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. The food was great! I got the $8 special and for the price you get a lot of food. I couldn’t finish. Will definitely try lunch next time. I highly recommend for breakfast. You also get a drink. I got the lemonade.

It was my first time eating there. I didn't even know about this place. I'm so glad I went. The service was friendly, and the food was amazing. I had the stew beef n rice with onions, yams, n green beans n his puppies. I never had stew beef cooked so tender, n the yams just melted in my mouth. It's like each bite I had the taste got better n better. Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables, but they had nothing on those yams. Thank you for serving me n making my day so memorable.

I have worked in Fayetteville for the past ten years and this is my first time eating here. This is cafeteria style service and a really wholesome environment. While standing in line some of the customers sang hymns and prayed with other customers. Now let's talk food. Every I ate was seasoned to perfection. The meal with drink and bread is &10 which was a great deal in this economy.

Heavens to Betsy! Bitten by the food love bug once again. Looking to enjoy a meal where every day salt of the earth people eat? Welcome to Kinlaw's y'all! Here you'll find every bit as an authentic southern dining experience as you'll find anywhere in the country. Kinlaw's Welcome Grill is a cafeteria style eatery located behind the actual market. Nothing fancy, just insanely good homestyle southern favorites at an even more insanely low price. Meat, 2 sides, hush puppies, and a drink for $7 even. I don't play with my fried chicken....and this is easily one of the best I've had. Crispy, juicy, flavorful. The mashed potatoes? Hands down the absolute best. Kinlaw's welcome grill is everything I love about southern food. It brings people of all walks of life together in a friendly atmosphere, around a table filled with the most satisfying cuisine known to man.

Yesterday I ordered two grits, eggs and steak plates, and one pancake plate. when I got home, the pancake plate had no meat, so I called. They said bring the pancake plate back tomorrow and we'll give you a new one, no problem. Today, I went back and they exchange the plate but, this one Particular young lady had a very nasty attitude towards me because I paid for the plate and wanted a new one. It wasn't everybody, just ONE person that literally told me "take your plate and leave" I won't be going back and I'm telling my friends about this one person's poor customer service. Paying customers shouldn't be treated this way.

This is a working man's place to eat but everyone is welcome. Great food the way my mom made it at home for us growing up. Not many people cooking this way anymore and with good reason. Not many of us work hard enough for these calories but if you're like me, you'll exercise more to get to eat this food. Hearty portions but it's served in covered styrofoam containers so what you don't eat, you can close your plate and take it with you. I saw many people picking up and taking away. Check out the grocery store next door. I got a huge bag of kale, some yellow squash and some sardines. Good prices.

I have been to this establishment many times and owe them a great review. For a Yankee (I dont live in NC, so im not a Damn Yankee) this is southern food. (again to me). You go down the line same as the locals. Order the same stuff, so listen to them, Pork Chops this time, just the best I ever had. Cabbage, so freaking good and the yams, YES! Open till 2pm!

Home cooked style breakfast and lunch at a price you can't beat. This is a true country style meal. Everything is prepared in store from their grocery store next door. Food is always fresh. The server has always been nice to everyone who patronizes the restaurant. There is always so many different side items to pick from that no one should have a problem finding something that they like. Large dining room with plenty of seating available.

Authentic Southern breakfast for such a reasonable price and a dash of southern charm to boot. Loved the grits, gravy, pork chop, scrambled eggs, sausage, and biscuit. Sweet tea was delicious as well. 16$ for two breakfasts.

Good home cooking served by a friendly staff. Very basic surroundings but the food is good. The fried chicken is our favorite.

New to the area and this place was highly recommended. Went with dear friends and felt like I was at home eating some delicious pan fried pork chops. 2 pork chops and 2 sides with a drink for $7.00. WOW! You can tell the passion for people through their food. I will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.

Paul M.

Yelp
A real taste of down home Southern feeding, served with a smile and a "What'll it be, honey?" Huge portions in a $7.00 lunch special with two sides, hushpuppies and a drink. Great liver and onions, good fried chicken. Okra and black eyed peas overcooked and bland to these Yankees' taste, but maybe it's a local thing, or just not everything can be perfect. Real cross-section of locals. Skip the chain restaurants one exit South on 95 and grab a hearty lunch here.

I have had pretty good food here every time, if you are okay with cafeteria style dining, I would say it's the best around this area.

Dawn L.

Yelp
Love it! Their good is great home cooking! Everything has been tried by me more than once. Never had a bad experience in the years I have been going. The persons working in there are Great too! They treat everyone like family. Anyone that comes in, leaves with a smile whether they had one or not coming in. I love their text messages you can sign up for. They have a regular schedule in what they serve on each day if the week which I love! Even the other customers are very friendly. There is such a happy smiling (and smells delicious) environment as soon as open the door. Very down to earth place and people. I am going to tell you that you will never regret going to Kinlaw's. Just talking about them right now makes me want to go there and get me something to eat! God bless

A great place to have a meal with family and friends. Open concept and friendly staff. Food is great, awesome prices and relaxing. Enough to get full. Loved our waitstaff Felicia .. always smiling and helpful! We were visiting from Hawaii and my dad took us to all His spots. Great place for picky eater, light or heavy eater. Wheelchair accessible, roomy seating, tv on the wall with news. It is cafeteria style but so easy.. Get there early this place filled up!! Wish we had a place like this in Hawaii !!

Any place that reaches out to help my family save money when purchasing food, has my business. That is why we visit the Welcome Grill without fear, knowing that we will get consistently good food, happy, full children and a tab that doesn't cause for sticker shock. The ladies here rock. If you get to know them, they treat you like family. Actually they treat everyone like that. Our family usually orders pancake platters with eggs as the choice of meat because our children don't eat pork.pancakes come 3 on a plate as big as the plate, which leaves for sharing platters. We leave with breakfast for seven under $20. Hubby likes their tenderloin and I am partial to the beef bologna and egg sandwich. 2 for $3. My only gripe is their quality of syrup. If you like hot cakes and prefer quality syrup, bring your own.

Awesomeness does not cover it when describing this place. I had the fried fish, apples and green beans. Tea and hushpuppies came with lunch. The line moved quickly and food was hot and fresh! Can't wait to go back!

This place is worth the stop off 95. Great southern food cafeteria style. The grits and fried pork chops are great for breakfast. The added bonus is everyone (staff and patrons) are friendly and welcoming.

The staff here really make you feel as if your dollar is appreciated. Kudos to the Welcome Grill Ladies! I have yet to dine for lunch but I can certainly attest to an excellent, wholesome, breakfast. If you're in the downtown area or stopping of from I95 stop by, the decor isnt special but it certainly fits that "down home" feel.

AMAZING food and service! Very affordable. Staff was the best especially Ms. "THANK YOU BABY"!

Kinlaws is my go to place in between class and work. I can swing through get a plate heaping over with food that's just as good as mommas cookin for cheaper than I can get a meal at most fast food Chains. I've been eating here for around four years now and let me tell you. It is the best! Only recommendation would be later hours so those getting off work/out of school at later times can enjoy the amazing service and quality food

Great place to purchase meat packages for great prices. Everything there is way less than you would pay in Walmart or even the Commissary. They also have a grill in the back, never had their BBQ but ive seen other reviews that its good BBQ. You will not be disappointed with the prices.
