I regret to leave such an awful review considering the first time I ate here, the spicy chicken sandwich was one of my top three favorite chicken sandwiches I've EVER eaten. Unfortunately, we had to take our order to go, and when we got home, the collard greens were borderline flavorless, with barely any bacon at all. My partner's $5 order of extra bacon barely existed in his scramble, and the server told me that my crispy chicken sandwich would come with fries. I had no idea she meant home fries, which inevitably always mean the potatoes are heavily starchy and flavorless. This was certainly the case for our order, and instead of the sandwich I ordered, I received a grilled chicken sandwich with home fries, and just so I could be sure, I tried one. They were the worst potatoes I've ever eaten.

I took the chicken out of the sandwich to store for later, since the chicken looked fine but the rest of the sandwich was a mess. The hash browns were absolutely delicious, so they were the redeeming quality of the meal, but they were only about 1/5 of the order. The biscuits, although they looked flaky, buttery, and filled with chives, were stale and bland. This is so incredibly disappointing considering the 5 out of 5 rating I would have given the first time I went there. Basically, order the spicy crispy chicken sandwich, and you'll absolutely love this place! Other than that, this place was an overall disappointment the second time. Maybe we just got them on an off day.

My waiter was a young woman from Uzbekistan “S” who was 100pc on top of things. Not too busy this morning yet she was on the ball, friendly, attentive and keeping cafe neat with side work. Was there alone this morning and made to feel very welcome. I have nothing but good experiences at this place. Food was quite delicious and priced fairly too.

The waiter yelled at me and my friend because we didn’t tip him (we didn’t like the food nor the pace that’s why we didn’t tip) and he told us to never come back.
he was really close while yelling at us and aggressive.

I had a lovely brunch with a former colleague today and really enjoyed the veggie scramble. We talked at length with the charming long-time owner and had a great experience at this quaint place.

The breakfast here is freaking delicious and the service staff are the best. I highly recommend eating here with the family if you're looking for a new breakfast spot.

Been going here for years. Sadly, I’m so done with Kate’s. Hopefully, there’s a new chef & it’s safe to return. On the very last two visits the eggs & potatoes were undercooked, those yummy biscuits of yore tasted like Bisquick, coffee, Meh. That said, I’m glad they’re still in business, should have legacy status by now.

What I appreciate about KK most is their breakfasts taste different from most . It's like they made an effort to stand out by tasting a lot better than the usual - more pronounced (but not overwhelming).
I had the Big Guys breakfast. The sausage patty was better than homemade. Bacon - great quality The pancakes had cornmeal but was light and had a wonderful texture. Even the iced tea was extraordinary.
Attentive service and who doesn't like Jazz in the morning.
