We sat ourselves and were served water. After that the waitress passed by us many times without stopping. Served food to other tables. We were COMPLETELY ignored. Finally, had enough. Got up to leave. She looked up and said “Oh you are out of time”. And that was it. No hospitality whatsoever. Not the kind of local business Rochester needs. On another note, menu needs to state food sourcing - are THEY sourcing locally? I didn’t see anything.

We always bring out of town friends here for breakfast when they visit. The decor is so cute. Food is delicious and well priced. Nothing fancy, but always good.

My buddy paul brought me to grandma's kitchen on Jan. 3rd. 2026. I had a great experience at this establishment and our waitress Sylvia was very knowledgeable and awesome conversationalist! Kept everything direct and too the point! For anyone who hasn't eaten here yet in your life!

This restaurant has been unchanged since the 70's. It's like stepping back in time with the same decor intact all these years and the original low counter. The food is very basic diner and so very good. Our eggs were cooked perfectly. We'll definitely go again the next time we are in the area.

I was in Rochester, Minnesota to go to the Mayo clinic for a week as looking for breakfast. After some of my appointments and found grandma's kitchen. I recommend it highly to everybody. The food is phenomenal. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was really good, fast speedy and good prices.

Grandma's kitchen truly brought back memories of what diners used to be like with my grandparents growing up! The decor is fun and takes you back. It has a lot of character inside and the layout is spot on for what diners were like back in another era. Staff greet you you with a smile and a warm welcome. I came here with my bestie for brunch and honestly this place is far better than Perkins, baker's square and if I had to pick say, between this or Cheap Charlie's....man I think it depends on what you order but both are really really good! The pancakes were fluffy and the hash browns and bacon were cooked perfectly. We were seated where the stools are and could literally see the cooks making everything. The pricing is well worth the amount of food you get! 4 star for atmosphere just because when it's a full house, there's not much noise cancelling panels. It's all like an open floor plan which can be very loud for hearing impaired individuals who need to be able to hear conversation within a large group. It was loud when we were there but I think if we had gone at a less busy time it would have been quieter. Otherwise it can be like a loud cafeteria. The location is right next to some shopping places and a nice gift shop inside Hunt Drug. It's just off Broadway but not directly downtown which makes it much easier to get to. The free parking is a bonus. I definitely recommend trying an early breakfast or brunch here.
Another day I tried the taco salad. It was really good! Much better than chain places. Everything was fresh. The waitress even gave me hot chocolate at a discount since she saw I was cold and shivering a bit. That was very kind and showed her caring skills in hospitality and the service industry. Thank you
