This is a great place to get lunch. The dishes are made fresh and are delicious! My favorite is the Turkey Brie, but I haven't been disappointed with anything I've gotten. As far as their sides, I have had their Kale Salad, Potato Salad, and Bacon Potato Salad. All three are delicious, and I have a hard time deciding which I'm going to get each time. This is a very popular place around lunchtime, so there is frequently a line. Be prepared to wait for 10-15 minutes if you get there between 12 and 1. I try to get there at 11:20 or so to beat the crowd. That being said, it is absolutely worth the wait. I highly recommend giving Carroll's Kitchen a try.

Excellent! Highly recommended! I had the chicken salad and my husband had the soup and sandwich combo and tried the lovely lemon curd Kolaches. Both really enjoyed our lunches. We received a warm greeting and perfect service. Do visit Carroll's Kitchen!

Ordered delivery for 3 of us. The food arrived when promised. The food was delicious. The menu options are great. Love helping others at the same time as enjoying their fine work - delicious food and prompt service. I highly recommend dining with Carroll’s Kitchen.

For breakfast I had kolaches : bacon egg & cheese, and spinach & feta. Delicious!! Warm , fresh, tasty, filling, inexpensive. I think I need to go back for lunch. Thank you!
Jessica Alexander
I enjoyed a delicious "grab and go" tuna melt at this wonderful establishment and I really appreciate the humanitarian work they do in their community!

I ate Carroll's Kitchen and took it out during my lunch break. It was SO GOOD that I had to go back for my lunch break the next day. I got the broccoli cheddar soup (special item) and it was so warm, delicious, creamy, and homey. I also got a turkey brie sandwich to go with it which was perfectly made with delicious flavors. The take out is timely and they wrap it up with napkins and utensils so you can take it with you. Only con is it's a bit on the pricey side but considering the amazing mission and how good the food is, I have no problem splurging every once in a while on Carroll's Kitchen.

The food here is fantastic. My mom had the Turkey avocado sandwich and I had the pesto chicken sandwich. We both had a small bowl of tomato soup as well. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The tomato soup is the best I have ever had. It has a little hint of spice that warmed me up immediately. If I am in the area I will definitely come back again!

Been looking for a place that sells quiche and today I finally found it!!! Ordered 2 pieces and the bacon was much better seasoned and tastier than the Greek but I really enjoyed them both. Now I ordered delivery and it was out of my normal delivery zone so I paid $2.50 extra and each 1/4 slice is $7.50 so it is costly but I worth it to me! Hot as hell outside and this really hit the spot! Wish they had some fruit as a nice refreshing side.....
UPDATE 7/28/22
Back again today and ordered my delicious quiches and also tried the kolaches. They were larger than expected and had an awesome sweet and savory taste. The part that made my day was that they were out of one of the flavors I ordered so they let me try 2 different flavors. I just love when owners and their staff go above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. This has just become my new all time favorite spot to eat!!!!

I ordered the grilled cheese and Chicken Velvet soup... OMG, was it delicious. The grilled cheese was so cheesy and grilled perfectly. The soup was the best. I do not live in the area so I will have to learn how to recreate this dish. I need to have it again! Highly recommend this gem!

Excellent bread for the kolaches (so soft!), and the flavors blend together well. The soups were very creamy and comforting! I will definitely find time to go again.
Michelle Connors
What an awesome place to have in the community! Not only is Carroll’s Kitchen incredibly speedy, friendly and delicious - it’s dedicated to empowering women impacted by homelessness right here in Downtown Raleigh. 10 million stars. Keep up the beautiful work, CK! ❤️

I ordered a catered lunch for our company (45 people)and the food was delivered on time, set up for us, and tasted amazing! There were great choices for our vegetarian staff and they included small name plates to show dietary info. for each dish. Many staff members complemented the food and appreciated that we are supporting such a great cause! We will definitely order from them again.
Tabitha Roberts
Love the grab and go for lunch. I got the chicken pesto wrap and tomato basil soup both were full of flavor and delicious.
Caspar Norris
Small spot but quick. Ordered ahead and picked up. Limited parking around if you’re wanting to walk-in and order. Vegan options! I appreciate restaurants who offer something for non-meat eaters.
julie Williamson
Staff was great! Food was delicious. It will be on my list again if I come back to Raleigh!
Jenee Lorberblatt
Delicious lunch! Ordered a gluten free avocado turkey wrap. They were excellent about preparation. I was sharing the sandwich and honestly had a difficult time not eating the other half before it was delivered. Exceptional. Great people, great service, great cause.
Chris Bushnell
My food was delicious and they accommodated my request to have their pesto chicken wrap made on Italian bread. Order was ready to pick up well within promised timeframe and staff authentically nice. Reserved curbside parking space so even during downtown lunch rush a breeze to pick up.

I wish I could give this caterer 100 stars. Their mission is amazing and their catering superb. I have used many caterers for various events and this experience ranks as the best. Our event was a rehearsal dinner attended by all ages, with some attendees desiring gluten free and/or vegan. The staff helped me pick the perfect menu and was flexible on changes as we changed the numbers of attendees. We settled on Pork Loin with 3-Mustard Sauce, Spaghetti Squash with Marinara, Roasted Autumn Vegetables, Caesar Salad, Kale Salad, Green Goddess Quiche and Southern Yeast Rolls. The guests helped themselves to second and third helpings and there were plenty of leftovers for the next day. Non-gluten free and non-vegan guests had multiple helpings of those menu items, they were so delicious. The cost was very reasonable.
I am in awe of the owner's compassion, entrepreneurship skills, chef talents, and professionalism. To think that she has developed such a successful service business in line with fulfilling a critical social need is humbling. We don't live in the area; we were in Raleigh for our son's wedding. So it is a disappointment that we won't have many opportunities to support Carroll's Kitchen more often. We will give a donation instead.
Thank you, Carroll's Kitchen!!!

Best dangam tuna melt ive ever had in my life. This is probably the first food review I think I’ve ever written, it deserved it.
Bill Cummings
Great new spot in Downtown Raleigh! I love breakfast and I've always felt like Raleigh lacked some great "grab-n-go" breakfast spots. And they serve kolaches (if you've never had one...you need to!). Their lunch selection is also really good. I consider myself a potato salad connoisseur... and their potato salad is great (as well as their kale salad). This is not "just another restaurant". This is an amazing social venture with a commitment to great local food and to creating employment opportunities for women who are coming out of homelessness. I would highly encourage you to check it out... and to make it a regular breakfast and lunch spot!!
Michele R. Burton
I just had the best customer service experience ever! The staff greeted me as soon as I walked in, explained to me what they had to offer, even offered to alter a sandwich to my liking. The food is delicious! This is a wonderful concept, and it's refreshing to know that I don't have to go far for good service, it's right around the corner.. Thank you!!
Adam Robinson
Wow, that was the best ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had. Just like the helpful person at the counter said. I'm so glad we've got a good grab and go place for breakfast and lunch again in downtown. I'll definitely be back, AND soon.
Rachel Snyder Fogleman
Excellent, quality, fresh food. Definitely exceeded my expectations! I will be frequenting this place for a quick bite to eat downtown!
Leigh Ann Frink
I will be having sweet dreams about the turkey/bacon/avocado sandwich and kale salad side I had for lunch today. Can't say enough great things about the AWESOME staff, either. My new favorite place in DTR... You guys ROCK!!!
Preeti Waas
We bought sandwiches this past Wednesday, and I didn't know what to expect, but holy moly that vegan BLT was fantastic!!! I even preferred it to my (also excellent) smoked gouda and chicken breast sandwich.
We are vendors are Market on Market on Wednesday afternoons, and you can count on our business!
Matt Schoolfield
seriously the best roast beef sandwich I've had in a while. Generous with meat! Not that hard to find a quick parking spot and run in.
Alexandria Maria Cooley
I had a delicious and fresh Greek salad and cup of soup! They even have an option to donate towards feeding hungry community members. This is my new go to lunch spot.
Deborah Bromiley
Carroll's Kitchen is a wonderful place, great value to the community, and really really good food. I'll be back, for sure!! And telling all my friends about it. I know that grab 'n go works for a lot of people; I would, however, love a little place to sit and enjoy my lunch while it's hot.
Angela Anthony Nelson
I eat here a lot and always enjoy friendly service and good food but today the Mushroom Dumpling soup, on recommendation from the staff, was outstanding!
David Boone
My wife and I had lunch from here today! Phenomenal buffalo chicken wrap! She had the pesto chicken wrap and "loved" hers!
Ben Conley
Delicious food, great service, and a good cause. Really glad to have this place around the corner for a quick snack or for something more substantial.
Catherine Hunter Hartwell
Today was my first visit to Carroll's Kitchen. Everything was delicious! I'll soon be placing a catering order for their fabulous quiche for an upcoming wedding brunch!
Christine Beal Howell
Roasted Veggie and Hummus Sandwich was great! This is a great place to grab good food, and do good for others at the same time!
Nichole Crippen
Wonderful food and even better people! Fabulous addition to downtown Raleigh!
Kessa Stevens
Delicious chicken caesar salad - the dressing is AMAZING!! Also tried the spinach & feta kolache - very good! And only $1.75! Very reasonable prices, great customer service and great food! Plus, "Carroll’s Kitchen is a social enterprise restaurant with a vision to end homelessness for women in Raleigh and make it a better community for everyone." LOVE IT!
