Country breakfast was great. The best grits I've had in a long time. Super attentive server. Will return.
This is an experience and has a great story! It was originally established in 1899. The new owner has done some serious upgrades and renovations but the place still feels unique. Our server was prompt and pleasant. The place was clean and honestly can't wait to see what they do with as yet unrestored part. It's walled off so it's not intrusive to your experience. He had an omelet that was loaded with meat-bacon, ham, sausage. He throughly enjoyed it! I had biscuits and gravy (never had it before) with ham. We eat a keto/carnivore way at home so always try to get something that's not when we go out...( I love eating that way, don't get me wrong, but I have no problem splurging when we go out) I had hot tea ( they only have two options black or green ) - I chose black which was Lipton tea. There were a few specials offered- fresh baked pastries and cookies. We had no room left to indulge on that day, but we'll be back!! Highly recommended!!
We had a great lunch at Kitchens! My friend and I got the best of both worlds by agreeing to share 2 different entrees - the chicken fried steak and the tuna salad plate - comfort food and a healthier option. The delicious chicken fried steak was huge and had a crispy exterior, and we got homemade mashed potatoes and FRESH CUT fries!! The tuna salad was perfect with the slight sweetness from sweet pickles, and came on a bed of fresh lettuce with fruit. It was all so tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. Alyssa sat us to a table quickly, and Kelly was a great server. I could tell they enjoy their jobs and I am sure regular customers appreciate them!! The dining area was very cute - perfect for a main street in a quaint town - and clean. We were told about renovations happening to the "hardware" side, and I can't wait to return for another amazing lunch (or maybe breakfast!!), and to see the other side.
Really good French Toast breakfast. Service was great. Migas was not traditional, but really good flavor.
Best burger we have had in a long while. Freshly made not an institutional patty, it was real beef! Everything about the burger was fantastic and the fries were sliced real potatoes! Will definitely be back and hope anyone who reads this review gives this place a try.
Great food. They did have a sign up for if they are busy to bear with the service. Only three tables being served and they were a bit slow but friendly. Coffee was good and hot. Had the western omelette with hashbrowns and rye. All was really good and I will go back and try the lunch menu. They advertised a muffuletta, so I will be trying that bad boy out next visit for sure.
A terrific greasy spoon in a former hardware store. You'll find southern comfort food like fried chicken and steak, biscuits etc... The staff was super nice and the service was great. A bit of a wait time, but that's fine. 5 stars for the Gravy!!
Kitchen's is kitsch! They have a couple big tables on the hardware side , a main serving area, and small patio. The hardware side of the establishment is more of a museum than a retail establishment but everything is for sale. You can order cooked to order breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff is experienced and great too!
