Such a great find. So pleased with absolutely everything. Needed an early ( for me) morning breakfast and found this place online. Open 24/7 and boy. The breakfast lasted me till the evening.

The service is very good, the atmosphere is also a shame that I cannot say the same about the food since it was a disappointment, since it was $30 per person I thought it would be better but no.

Ordered BLT and they only give you 1 piece of bacon!!!!! And i asked for more bacon and they say that’s how they make it and if I want more bacon they charge extra. They should make a disclaimer that the sandwich only comes with 1 piece of bacon !

I had the trout dish, spinach and mash potatoes. I would've given it five stars, but the flavor was a bit unseasoned. However, it was perfectly cooked and fresh. I would of course return and try more things! My mentor had the French toast dish, we came here on her mention and it was wonderful. We saw outside and could see the ocean from our view - the overall ambience was incredible. I seen a sign saying that it was open all night and I think that is really awesome! I can't wait to return.

This isn’t any ordinary diner. I’ll never forget the night I went there. Went 2x on January 29th and 30th 2022. From that day, I still think of and crave the chicken stir fry bowl from this place. My friend Anthony and I still speak of this bowl to this day. To say that stir fry bowl was life changing is an understatement. I would love if management opened up on the east coast or offered a meal plan. The way the chicken was cooked to perfection mixed with the rice, sauce and broccoli sent my taste buds to places it’s never been before.

Stellar service from Nirvana. She was super accommodating and asked all the right questions to get our order exactly the way we wanted. It was not busy at 11 on a Monday, and still a bit cool for patio dining, so we sat inside in a corner booth. Promptly greeted and brought drinks. I started with a decaf coffee with cream, half and half cups were on the table but our super server offered to bring a pitcher from the fridge if I preferred. Husband ordered an OJ which was HUGE. I was excited to see the hangover scramble with green chilies, eggs and cheese. When I asked for the bacon on the side, Nirvana offered to get strips of bacon to give to my husband since I can't eat the pork. That was awesome for him to not eat the little pieces of chopped bacon that normally comes with this dish. Then when I asked if it came with potatoes as well as corn tortillas because I have to avoid potatoes, she said, "Yes it does, would you rather have fruit?" I was very excited not to find an upcharge on my bill for the perfect fruit side substitution. In a tourist area, some operators take advantage of upcharges and that is not the case here. Honest local business, bravo! The hangover scramble also included an entire half an avocado sliced on top. With three eggs, fruit, corn tortillas, avocado and cheese, I was unable to finish all of my meal. Spouse got the Pancake Breakfast with sausage and sunny side up eggs. They were perfectly prepared. The pancakes were very fluffy and got good reports. The syrup is real maple here, quality ingredients and it shows! Very happy that we found The Kettle!

Ordered the garlic and blue cheese burger medium. Burger came medium well - well. Other than that it was tasty and a large portion. Fries that accompanied it were under seasoned. Friend ordered the panko chicken salad. Salad was nice but chicken had no seasoning at all. Salad came with a muffin and we got the coffee cinnamon muffin - had tasty icing but the inside of the muffin was dry. Waitress timed the muffin well and brought it out near the end which I appreciate, but she lacked knowledge about the beers. Overall this is a chill place to go to or try out once but wouldn’t go back again because of the taste of the food.

Just ate at this restaurant and I was very disappointed. I ordered the Avocado Toast and it was trash!

So i went to brunch and was excited to order the banana fosters french toast. There was actual lettuce underneath my french toast that I had to pick out. Not one piece, not even two pieces, but several little bits of lettuce. I wish I was joking, but it seems like either my plate wasnt cleaned beforehand or the kitchen had a mixup. Giving it 3 stars cause the service was great, but I could have done without the random lettuce in my french toast.

Food always very good. Parking garage nearby so that is good. The only drawback is that it's popular Therefore the is sometimes long waits. They need to take reservations. At least for more than 4 folks.

Held a birthday dinner here two days ago and had a wonderful time! Service was extremely kind, understanding, and communicative in trying to seat my group of 9 and our server (Anita) was an absolute sweetheart.All my friends really enjoyed the food - great options, large portions, and affordable price.
