Took my daughter here for a “date night.” It’s just excellent! The good is fantastic. Fine let the prices fool you; yes it’s a bit high, but the portions are more than generous and the quality beyond reproach. The atmosphere is great; reclaiming these old mill buildings and retaining much of the old look gives it a great sort of modern but industrial vibe that really feels open and comfortable. Having the additional patio seating and outdoor bar is also a big help. And our server Sierra was just a delight. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and just so pleasant! I’d definitely recommend going!
Although the dishes we ordered presented nice, they were just mediocre tasting. Atmosphere is rustic and open but their food is ridiculously priced high for what it is. Staff was friendly but too casual and ungroomed. The one great thing was their pita chips. Sorry but you cannot charge 5 star prices for 3 star dinning .
(4.5 stars)A labor of love for Natty Green’s/Old Town Draught House vet Kayne Fisher, Kau occupies a beautifully repurposed industrial space. The scope of it – multiple bar areas, hand-cut Braveheart Prime steaks, etc. – makes it seem out of reach for all but the most special of occasions, but it needn’t be. As my wife and I found out, it also makes for a fantastic weekend lunch spot.Kau understandably likes to play up its meat offerings, but there is a lot more than just steak and chops on the menu. An impressive assortment of apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, and bowls makes for a very tough decision. Upon the recommendations of our server, we went with a collard dip starter, a pretty bird sandwich, and a meatloaf sandwich.We hadn’t long to wait for our food, and Ashley did not steer us wrong. The collard dip featured three kinds of cheese (cheddar, parm, and cream), bacon crumbles, and thick, warm pieces of housemade pita. It was deliciously cheesy, and it felt like the absolute apex version of a classic spinach dip. The meatloaf was a bit loose, which led to some interesting sandwich structural integrity challenges, but the flavors (a bit sweet, a bit smokey) were excellent. This is as strong a challenger I’ve seen to the meatloaf sandwich GOAT (Morgan’s Tavern in New Bern) in years. The pretty bird’s chicken too was smokey and flavorful, and it paired very well with the sweetness of the roasted red peppers. The lemon aioli was understated, and balsamic might have been a better pairing. Both sides – a refreshing tomato-cucumber salad and thick-cut, parmesan-and-herb-laden fries – were quality.Kau was not a cheap lunch (the dip was $12 and the sandwiches were in the teens), but it was a lot more reasonable than the steakhouse cachet would suggest, and the food was absolutely worth it. I don’t get out to this side of Greensboro very often, but Kau may very well hasten my return.
Awesome place. We love it.
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Mrs Dale L'Ecuyer for handling the trading of my account. Your professionalism, genuine kindness and bluntness at times when I needed to face reality are what made me progress. I invested $950 and got $7600 in a week. I only wish I had known about you earlier from the first moment I decided to trade. Nevertheless, I am grateful! contact her via.

food, atmosphere, and service all excellent. will definitely be back.
This was my first time eating at Kau. I read some of the reviews and I had high expectations. I ordered the Steak Tacos and my husband the Brisket Mac-n-cheese. Both were terrible. My steak in my tacos had absolutely no seasoning at all. The pasta in my husbands dish was dry and tough. I would say that someone is cooking the food but I would not characterize that person as a chef. The food didn't even come close to anything I would have expected.
We had a party of 8 and were seated right away. Ordered 3 different appetizers, all were good, but the pork nachos were amazing. For Entree's I had the Ribeye, my wife had the Filet, and they were one of the best steaks we've had in a while. Others ordered the Short Ribs. We all shared bites of each others plate and it was all amazing. Will definitely be going back.
My wife and I have gone on a handful of occasions. I have had the strip steak, porkchop, brisket mac and cheese and a burger. All were excellent quality. We have never experienced an issue here.
It’s the EVERYTHING for me ! I made sure to try different appetizers and dishes! My server was amazing! The atmosphere was great! I can’t wait to come back for a date night!
