We have a K ways loved the pie at the Kernel, but it was AWFUL! We ordered strawberry Rhubarb but got regular rhubarb. That would have been fine but it was hard, uncooked rhubarb with barely any sugar or topping. You could not even stab it onto the fork! The waitress was sweet and apologized! My husband took Caramel Apple, and I got regular strawberry rhubarb the second time. The crust on mine was fry and thick with very little filling! My husband’s wasn’t much better! The cheeseburger soup and Cuban sandwlich were good! However, after we visited the bathroom, we both decided not to go back! The metal heat boards were rusty and very dirty! It isn’t the same place it used to be to be!

Lovely little restaurant. I have visited several times in the past, even as a young kid. It really feels like a home. The staff are friendly and the food came out hot and delicious. Their pies are fantastic. I had a ruben last time, and it was so good, the corned beef and their dressing was a gret pair up.

I'll keep it short and sweet (not so much). Food was disgusting. My 4yr old ate his Mac n cheese my oldest ate his pancakes. My husband ordered a burger and it was burnt and basically a hockey puck. My daughter and I ordered Alfredo pasta was undercooked and chicken was raw. So if you like Kraft Mac n cheese pancakes and french fries this is your place. The waitress even said the pasta looked undercooked and that's why she doesn't get it there..... yup. And the booths were filthy and table was sticky. Just avoid this place.

Ordered an item with hollandaise sauce the English muffin was not toasted in the hollandaise sauce was curdled. I tried to eat it and ate half before I felt sick so I sent it back. The waitress offered to have something else made for me so I ordered French toast. She then came back and said that the owner was going to charge me for half of the first meal and the full amount of the second meal. We will never go back! The owner couldn’t care less about what we felt. Too bad that an old restaurant with new owners is going to hurt all the great employees.

Ordered Hashbrown stack. Got a portion for a 6 year old, couldn't have been a third of a potatoes worth. Have visited here off and on for 25 years, once upon a time it was top notch but is definitely not living up to the old standards

Rest rooms are terrible. Was raised that if you want to know what a kitchen is like, look at their restrooms
