Salem Kitchen

Absolutely best Caramel Cake I have ever put in my mouth! Not only is the icing scrumptious, the cake layer, is as well.

I went here specifically to buy a pecan pie as a gift. They are buttery and delicious. I left with the pie and also a 6-pack of pimento cheese biscuits, a bag of licorice, a tray of tiramisu and 2 dinner entrees! This is a good place to buy quality food for yourself or as a gift when you want something extraordinary.

Delicious food! Great option when you don't have time to cook. Great Chicken Pies, tomato pie all kinds of great things!

I get foods to go at Salem kitchen all the time, at least once a week. I've read some reviews that just have me laughing some of them are rather old so I'll give them that but between myself and my other half we have been going to Salem kitchen for over 10 years. We absolutely love their food and the way they seasoned it because it's not heavy allowing room for more but not having to worry about how much seasoning is in it salt etc.

I have tried personally a lot of their dishes and there has not been one that I have not enjoyed. It all started with their Moravian chicken pie. So thank you to all the ladies and everyone that works there and works hard. No matter what naysayers may say this is by far one of the best places to go to get meals that you can put in your oven or microwave and not have to worry about cooking!

Kudos! To the Owner for her Response to the Mask Mandate Critic! The Food here Is Excellent and the Baked Goods! First Time In there last week I purchased a bunch of Goodies! Loved Everything! A New weekly Customer For Sure! One Gone! One Earned!

The mask madate has gone to the employee's heads. I have been a customer of Salem Kitchen for 20 years but no more. The food quality has dropped and I will not be yelled at by a 20 year old that believes her job at a bakery gives her the that right. The mask mandate has been eliminated all over the country. Salem kitchen is the LAST store enforcing this. However, my biggest issue is the absolute crude way employees are handling this. Literally, screaming at customers across the store is degrading.

While we can debate the efficacy of the mask, which has been largely debunked by everyone including the CDC's lastest report, Salem Kitchen stance of obtaining please in demeaning customers is not acceptable. I encourage everyone to boycott this company until they treat customers with respect, provide better service, and return the food quality to it's pre- COVID history.

***UPDATE*** The rude lady is the owner. Called at 6 pm on Feb 3rd. The lady my wife spoke with was very short and rude on the phone and said she was heading out the door (something an employee should never say). Also seeing as how they don't close till 7pm. You can get good food many other places without the attitude. All she had to say was they were closing early and to call back in the morning, or just take our order. Neither of which she did.

I purchased my Christmas dinner from Salem Kitchen, and it was fantastic! The roast beef was super tender and full of flavor, and the mac-n-cheese is fabulous! Highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

Salem Kitchen is where we shop for holiday gifts for the people on our "gift list" who already have everything. Bringing smiles to accomplished, much loved, grumpyish old men is easy at Salem Kitchen. Their spouses love the edible treats as well!

Food is always great, service not so much. Echoing a review from several years ago, there is definitely a vibe from the staff that if you don't know what you want immediately, you are an inconvenience. This visit I asked for sliced ham, the first lady said they didn't have any. Then I asked for something else that they didn't have, but the first lady had already passed me off to another person.

The 2nd lady replied with a time estimate of when they would have the 2nd item. I then asked for a time estimate for the ham and she didn't know. I was about to check out when a staff brought out three containers of ham from the back of the store. There was no apology for the confusion, or the fact that i was about to leave without purchasing the item I wanted in the first place. Very disappointing.

Picked up a home-cooked style meal for Thanksgiving, and it was wonderful! 100% recommend.

I have used Salem Kitchen many times for business functions. All items haven been very good, I particularly like their Chicken Piccata. All deserts are yummy too. You cannot go wrong with Salem Kitchen catering.

They have the most fresh and delicious salads.with homemade dressings. Their Moravian chicken pie is absolutely delicious as well.

I've been looking for a local place with take-and-bake dinners for during the week - this is the perfect place! It's tucked into a shopping center a little hidden. Inside, it's filled with local jams and snacks and this awesome Chapel Hill Coffee Toffee. There are baked breads and desserts, but I head to the refrigerator case with a huge variety of to-go casserole dishes to bake at home.

The chicken pie is great - get the gravy with it. The chicken tetrazini is amazing! We've also had and enjoyed the chicken pot pie, the vegetarian lasagna, and the baked apples.

We were given the 9x13 chicken pie, party potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, apples and two pound cakes as a gift after my father had surgery. Everything was absolutely delicious! I love chicken pie and this is one of the best I've had! All the sides were very tasty and the pound cakes (lemon and vanilla) were superb. I also love pound cake and these are as good as I've tasted. Thank you Salem Kitchen! We'll definitely be ordering again!

My family and I have been coming to Salem Kitchen for many years and enjoyed both their take out dishes and box lunches. So disappointed recently with the decline in quality and quantity of the box lunches. One thin slice of meat on sandwich so mostly eating bread and side was minimal as well. Not worth the $10 price.

THANK YOU Salem Kitchen. not only for reliably good food, but for your kindness! In a pinch, you said "yes" to my request for an order of a dozen caramel cupcakes. Not only are they delicious, but they are my dad's favorite. and he's just been given a 4 month prognosis. I am grateful!

Chicken Rice soup! Woooooooow! Flavor! Tasty! Literally the best I've ever had. Coming off an illness a great friend of mines brought me several things from there. So far the soup is a total homerun. Looking forward to eating the chicken pot pie also. I love pot pie & have tried a few that were herald as great pot pies in NC. I was unimpressed. I'll comment on the Salem Kitchen pie on a later date. Hopefully it's good to great!

I was recently laid-up due to an operation. My brother kindly got me food from Salem Kitchen. The squash casserole, and mac + cheese were GREAT! The meat loaf was nothing short of AWESOME! the sauce they put on it is the best I have ever tasted on meatloaf. It elevates it to a whole other level of greatness. The only item I was not completely thrilled with was the chicken pie.

It was pretty bland, and the crust a bit too thick. A little less crust with some onion or shallot added to the pie would have made it great for me. We will get more food from them in the future!

It was alright. We ordered sides for our Christmas dinner and they were still frozen after we were told that they weren't. Every side needed a bit of seasoning to perk it up. It all ranged in taste from bland to just okay. From the reviews we had read, we expected more but we weren't wowed.

The food here tastes straight out of a can, and most of it is - I know because my fiance worked there. Baked goods are much better, however there's nothing gluten-free and the only diabetic-friendly items are obviously store bought. They get their sheet cakes from Costco and some of the cakes are Duncan Hines. There are better bakeries around and most definitely far more superior places where you can buy truly scrumptious food. The only items I bought here that I actually liked were the brownies, lemon bars, and the sin bar. Otherwise, blah!

I've only ever had their chicken pie, "party potatoes" and gravy. It was all delicious! Glad this is a takeout place though because there are some grouchy ass ladies working there. You don't have to be rude, dude!

The service is bad. they have a nice selection of take out items in the restaurant. and nice selection of food to order. They have a nice selection of gifts in the restaurant. The problem the employees are not nice. They walk away from customers are talking to them. Talk back rude, rush to get rid of. And not want to give change back due to the customers. The prices are moderate for the take out and the gifts at the kitchen restaurant. The employees stop to talk to friends while there is a line of customers.

I was recently at an event that Salem Kitchen catered. Let's just say that it was the best food that I've ever had. I loved it! Totally craving for some. :-

Salem Kitchen catered a small, but special dinner for my father's 90th birthday and my sister's 70th birthday. Everything was delivered hot and right on time and it was absolutely delicious. The attention they paid to making sure everything was right, even for our small group of 8 people, was impressive. I definitely recommend and would use them again!

Finding Salem Kitchen is best done after watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. The address here on Yelp is correct, but you cannot find the location unless you turn into the parking lot and look in the back of the building. Once there you will find some of the best food around. Salem Kitchen is literally a kitchen that makes homemade meals to take home.

Their store cases is full of lasagna, vegetables and other prepared meals, including soups and desserts. We routinely stock up on lasagna, chicken tetrazzini and soup for the week. If you buy their reusable shopping bag and bring it with you on Saturday, you can get 10% off your shopping order. On top of all their prepared foods, they also carry a local selection of fine wine and snacks from other companies.
