Enjoyed a late lunch /early dinner at Martha's Kitchen. Nice atmosphere, friendly server. The shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage was spicy but delicious. My companion had a pork steak that he said was perfectly cooked. Reasonably priced, will return.

Wonderful experience. Had enough time before my track meet and decided to eat a nice breakfast. The service was great and the food came out fast. I definitely will be back!

Could not be more pleased with our random drop in here. We were passing though and were lucky enough to find it! The food was amazing, the server was so kind, and the ambiance was lovely. It was such a good experience that it's become a recurring joke between my husband to bring up how much we wish there was a place like it in Oregon

Honestly everything was amazing other than the fact that the lettuce gave me the worst food poisoning I have ever had and tmi but I was throwing up all night and all I saw was that disgusting

We had seen a lot of Facebook adds for Martha's Kitchen and decided to give it try on Sunday morning for Breakfast. We made a table reservation on line and arrived at our requested time of 11:15 AM. After a small wait we were seated. We were presented with menus and a listing of Bourbon drinks we could order. It took some time for the waitress to arrive and she apologized advising that a large group had arrived right before us. We noticed that that there wasn't a lot of people there at the time. The breakfast menu was somewhat limited compared to what we had seen for most breakfast restaurants, but we were able to find some items to order. I requested a cup of coffee and my partner requested hot tea. They only have one type of tea, Lipton Black. At 11:55 the waitress came to our table and stated that she had forgotten to put our order in and was very sorry. She then advised that they were out of eggs and neither of our orders could be completed. I asked "how you could be out of eggs", to which she stated that it was now lunch time (12:00 pm) and that they usually run out of breakfast items this time of day. I reminded her that we arrived well in time to have breakfast, to which she said "I know, that's my fault, but I don't know what to do about it." She said we could get some breakfast items as long as it didn't involve eggs. I asked my partner if she wanted to leave, and she said let's just get some non-egg items. The food was very unimpressive. As we were leaving another waitress how we liked our Breakfast to which I advised we didn't, she asked why I and explained what had happened. She asked if the waitress comped the bill, to which I advised "no". She asked if I would like to speak with the manager to which I said "there's a manager here?" (My partner said "Let's just go") I declined and the waitress asked if I would let her have my phone number. I presented her with my business card and advised her I would love to get a phone call from the manger. No phone call ever came! The restaurant has a great potential due to the New Kent area being limited in dining except for fast food. Martha's Kitchen seems to be marketing heavily on Social Media, but they are failing in suppling what they marketing. Maybe they should market as "BYOE"; Bring Your Own Eggs!

We've been to Martha's Kitchen a couple of times. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is informal and welcoming. Most of the time, the food is on par with Golden Corral. It's basically cafeteria food. Dinner last night plumbed the lows of what passes for cafeteria food. My wife had the catfish which was unseasoned and dry. I had the pork ribeye which was good, but our sides weren't: The green beans tasted like they were out of a can. The sauteed baby carrots were so overdone they appeared an unappetizing brown color. My wife loves collard greens, but the ones she was served might have been prepared last week. The mashed potatoes were glue-like. The worst part of the evening was my second martini (apparently produced by the waitress who didn't know how to make one.) It was presented with a single olive in the bottom of the glass (no toothpick) and the gin never saw any ice or the inside of a shaker. And they charged me $19 for it. We won't be back.

We had a reservation, stood waiting at the front for over 10 minutes and were never acknowledged. Several employees glanced at us but never spoke. Won’t go again. So disappointing!

The food was very good. I had salmon and it was perfectly cooked. I had an alcoholic drink that was so tasty. It had a fruit liqueur in it. The biscuits could be bigger, but they were good. I will definitely go back.

Great place to stop for breakfast. The eggs and French toast were perfect. George's Breakfast has everything you would want for breakfast. Our server was very friendly and took excellent care of us. We will be back.

So this was my second time with Martha's Kitchen. The first time was several months ago, when my wife and I ordered take out. We got several dishes to sample and were hoping for the best. Sadly, the food was all bland. The catfish was unseasoned... the greens were terrible... etc... etc. I went to work and asked if anyone had ever eaten there, and a woman told me she had, and that the food was fantastic! She urged me to give them another try. Fast forward to last Thursday, my in-laws came to visit and we decided to take them to Martha's to given them a taste of New Kent. While the service was excellent, the food was once again, sub par. The catfish was again unseasoned... the devil eggs tasted like they had been soaked in vinegar... the shrimp and grits looked like the grits had come from an instant packet and the chef used nothing but water to cook them. My family spent most of the time trying to doctor up the food at the table! You could tell that the cook, whoever they are, does not want to be a cook. Such a shame, as the restaurant has everything else you'd like in a local haunt. The ambiance was great. The staff were very welcoming. If they just had a decent cook, we'd go back in a heartbeat.
