The decor and setting don’t compete for attention, creating a relaxed backdrop that lets the food and company take center stage.

Kountry kitchen is just a wonderful restaurant for breakfast! For the record I have never had lunch here. So all three experiences in the last two years have been for breakfast. I’ve had the corn beef hash eggs with hashbrowns and in my mind for the price you cannot beat it! Service is fast and friendly! If you’re in the area and looking for fast good breakfast at a reasonable price this is the restaurant do you want to check out! Plenty of parking you can’t go wrong again the pricing just amazes me and how reasonable they are. I highly recommend the country kitchen for breakfast. Someday I plan on eating there for lunch seems like they’ve got some great specials and I cannot wait to try them! From the crowd during breakfast I can’t imagine that lunch specials and lunch service would disappoint. Check them out for breakfast and I’ll let you know my review the next time I join them for lunch! The other thing is the cool country style decorations!

Wife and I were looking for a place for a simple meal. Came here on a recommendation from another business in the area. What a pleasant surprise. Service was fast and friendly. Food was served hot. My clam chowder was definitely homemade. I had the fish sandwich. Wife's chicken salad was delicious. We will definitely be returning. A very pleasant experience.

Absolutely perfect! Eggs Benedict isn’t on the menu but they do offer it. It hit the spot and the staff was very friendly and it was a calm and peaceful atmosphere, not too loud like a lot of places. I would definitely come back again.

Our waitress was just lovely..super sweet. Food was pretty good. Hash browns were not impressive a little on the dry side and just not tasty. Bacon, eggs and toast were good. Rating is a 90, which is a bit alarming.

Let me tell you something, this breakfast was fantastic! They hit every mark. We had breakfast for our lunch, 12:30pm, honestly wasn't expecting anything special. We absolutely loved the flavors and textures. Ordered eggs over-medium, they were 100% perfect. Service was great, our waitress was delightful. It's a quaint, family restaurant that I highly recommend. Don't come here looking for a fancy place, come here if you're interested in home style cooking and great service. Restrooms = 3/5 in other words not terrible. Very fast service overall. We'll be back thanks !
