Kernel Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on delicious home-cooked meals. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing a welcoming atmosphere. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The Beef Commercial, a signature dish, is cooked to perfection.
Customers praise the restaurant's long-standing reputation as an Owatonna landmark, with one reviewer noting it as the "definitive restaurant in the area." The homemade pies are a highlight, and the overall food quality is generally well-received.
However, some recent reviews suggest a decline in the food quality, with one customer reporting a disappointing experience with a bacon chicken melt. The restaurant is praised for its kid-friendly environment and wheelchair accessibility.
