Went here for the first time and was honestly not impressed. The menu was like an encyclopedia of repetitive options. Got a granny smith apple waffle and the batter was undercooked and just looked like it was garnished with apple slices with a rim of whipped cream. Wished the food was better

One of my favorite places to eat at. Their menu items are creative and made well, often I can’t decide on which one to get. My family and I have gone here many times and it’s always been great! The owners are very welcoming and the staff is amazing.

We loved it! Everything was great. As soon as we walked in, they were very welcoming even though they were busy. They sat us right away, and the waitress was so nice. They serve big portions and the prices are great. We will definitely be back. Thank you! Oh, the parking can be tough if the plaza is busy, just a heads up. They have parking in the back as well

The Hidden Kitchen never disappoints! The only issue I have is WHAT TO CHOOSE WHEN I GET THERE! Every plate I’ve ever had has always been spot on and incredibly delicious. The chefs know how to prepare a good meal! The environment is inviting and the service is exactly what you’d expect from a small, locally owned, breakfast joint! Personable and attentive! You will never leave hungry! Maybe a little sleepy but never hungry! Their portion sizes are ?! If you’re looking for your next breakfast/lunch spot, this is it!

Have you ever been someplace and you were SO disappointed it wasn’t closer? This is that place. They have the best pancakes I’ve ever had in my life. Their breakfast options are the greatest, and I don’t really like breakfast foods (so that’s saying something). Their sandwiches are incredible and their muffins are next level. The owners are also the kindest, most accommodating people to boot. It’s not often I drive 100 miles for breakfast, but when I do- I go to Hidden Kitchen.

Food never disappoints! We love their stuffed French toast!! A MUST
The BEST! When locals are willing to wait for a seat, in all kinds of weather, you know you’re at the best place in the area!Food is always excellent, fresh, made to order, and extremely generous portions. Pro tip - order a couple fresh muffins to go when you sit down so you can have them later or the next day (they go fast, so don’t wait until you’re done!)This place epitomizes what it means to be a family-run business and you can see that from the way the owners treat their staff and their customers. Even on the busiest days, there’s hot coffee, small talk, smiles and hustle. I love sitting at the counter watching it all!

Edited part: I appreciate you apologizing for not giving me what I paid for and ordered,. especially adding a "sorry but it was busy" Glad you agreed I will not be returning, or even offered a refund on the cheese. I will be attaching this and your response to BBB. I arrived at 120. The door was open. People were sitting down eating. No one told me it was closed. First time customer. Hopefully customer service.First time here and just moved to the area for take out. When I arrived they informed me they only do egg and cheese sandwich. I asked if I could have bacon and they said sure. So I said again just the one bacon egg and cheese on a roll. Attached is the sandwich. Not a morcel.of cheese anywhere. I feel duped, I even tipped a dollar so cost me almost $8. This proves I guess more what others try to persuade me on, don't tip. Definitely will not be returning.
