“ Wonderful place with a wonderful mission. I enjoyed serving here as our church sponsored a meal for the community. It was a joy to serve and we got to partake in the meal after we finished serving. It was very very good. Can't say enough about this place! ”
“ Simply said WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!??? THE food is simply delicious, the thoughtfulness of this eatery for this community, the donations for the people of North Carolina, did I forget to mention the incredible food ? I wish I could go here every day . You should.!!! GO! ”
“ This is such a nice experience. It is managed and staffed with volunteers. Great food too. ”
“ I found this place randomly when looking for breakfast near a couple breweries. The concept alone is worth the visit, but honestly...come for the food too. This is easily one of the better breakfasts I’ve had. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned well. The bacon was so thick. We ordered extra under the assumption it would be sad and thin, and ended up full before we even started on the extra bacon. The portions are more than generous for what you pay. There’s a drink station that you can have all you care to enjoy. All of the volunteers are kind and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. ”

“ This place has been around for several years now, and it has become a staple in our community. The food is delicious and affordable. The people who volunteer there take so much pride in the mission to provide hunger relief to those in need. The owners put their heart and soul into making a positive impact in our community. Their success has motivated other businesses into becoming part of the redevelopment in New Kensington. ”
“ Knead was awesome! Great, pay what you can, restaurant! This ministry is a great asset for the community but sacrifices nothing when it comes to food and service! Come have a great meal and pay one forward! ”
“ I cannot explain how impressed I am. This place is exactly what New Kensington needed. I am so glad to see the community come together like it does in this place. I met the owners/founders and talked to them. Their story is an excellent one. The food here is phenomenal. The concept is genius. The building was renovated beautifully. The central location makes it perfect. It’s a perfect place to get together with family or friends. I came for lunch with some friends and this place was packed. Their live music is awesome!!! This is highly recommended for all ages and families. What a wonderful atmosphere! Congratulations and keep up the great work! ”
