I really wanted to give The Kitchen a fair shot, but this place lost me before I could even order.
When my wife and I walked in, the vibe was already a little off, but I tried to brush it aside. The host (a bald guy at the stand) didn’t acknowledge us for a solid five minutes because he was too busy entering what looked like employee info into the computer. Not exactly the best first impression.
When he finally decided to acknowledge us, he said, “Alright guys, follow me,” and started walking straight toward the kitchen. Naturally, we followed — only for him to literally laugh in our faces in front of the whole restaurant and say, “Nooo, not through the kitchen,” as if we were supposed to magically know the layout of a restaurant we’d never been to. (Plenty of restaurants do walk guests through the kitchen — Bucca di Beppo, for example.) If he didn’t want confusion, he could have just walked the way he expected us to go instead of setting us up for embarrassment.
To top it off, he acted annoyed that we weren’t keeping up with his rushed, speed-walk pace to the table. At that point, we were over it. We sat down for maybe 30 seconds, looked at each other, and decided to leave. Ended up going to Café Melissa’s instead — much better choice.
Oh, and by the way, they’re still charging an extra $1 on every menu item that includes eggs… which makes zero sense considering egg prices didn’t even spike much and have already gone back down.
Bottom line: rude service, unwelcoming atmosphere, and nickel-and-dime menu pricing. I wanted to give this place a chance, but The Kitchen blew it before I even had the chance to try the food.

Yes, there are M & W public restrooms. As you walk in the main entrance the restrooms are to the left at the rear of the restaurant. Facilies work. Floor was sticky and the garbage can was overflowing.

The stars are for the very nice staff. The food was mediocre and the whole place needs a good cleaning. Also disappointing that there wasn’t a changing table.

We had breakfast today and our server told us nothing about an egg surcharge. We were charged an additional $1.46 per meal without our knowledge. The potatoes were burned as well. I don't recommend.

This restaurants food used to be fantastic. But over the last six months it has gotten very bad. The cross contamination on gluten-free food has become horrific. My sister has gotten sick three times and I have gotten sick twice. My father has gotten sick with food poisoning as well. The bathrooms are dirty in complete disrepair. They are always understaffed. I have actually had to go up to the register to place my order myself because we never got service. My dad wanders to the kitchen when he wants a refill on his coffee 😳 It’s unfortunate that this restaurant that used to be great has gone out so far downhill.

Nice and friendly staff, but the place is obviously very understaffed and poorly ran. Expect a slow meal.

I had Cooks Sandwich: everything bagel, eggs, sausage, cheese, cream cheese and home fries. It was very good and I don't like coffee but the coffee here was good. I wish I had taken a photo.
It's a place to eat. They definitely focus on their French toasts from the look of them, but everything else felt eh. The skillets looked pretty balanced, but things like biscuits and gravy served by themselves in a bowl(looked like soup) and thecorned beef benny(dry corned beef and no flavor) were just missing good balance and flavor. I don't live in the area, but it's probably not somewhere id go via my choice
