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.

Great Breakfast in town. Loved the 2 eggs plate with sausage and hashbrowns. Thankyou for the giant sausage links. You guys are awesome. Food was excellent I'm not from this area I'm visiting from Glenburn Maine. Will be in again if in the area.

We decided on our previous trip to the beach to stop in to a 'Country Style' restaurant for breakfast instead of the norm. fast food biscuits & tots. It was pretty much everything we were looking for. A quaint country atmosphere, friendly ppl., quick service, fair prices & the food came within good time. The over easy eggs, grits & smoked sausage was on point. 5 strips of bacon instead of 4 or 5 broken pieces. The grandson had a biscuit w/patty sausage, a large biscuit w/a piece of sausage the size of the biscuit. The grandson said it was the fluffiest biscuit he has ever eaten. The wife said the fried potatoes were a little dry, thinking they were deep fried. Would have been better cooked on the griddle w/a little bacon drippings or butter. Other than that, we were quite pleased..........We will be eating there again on our next trip to the beach, which will be soon. We might even stop in to try their dinner on the way back home.

Classic diner breakfast. The coffee is excellent and endless. Not fancy, but the perfect morning coffee and you will never see the bottom of your cup. **Grits ** a true southern staple, so simple, yet Kountry Kitchen is what you compare all the others too. The biscuits are the perfect balance between flaky, firm and buttery. On there own or with gravy.

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.
