My "go to" place in East Haven for breakfast and lunch on the run. Friendly employees and a number of good options on the menu make this place memorable. The prices are also lower than average as is the portion size in some instances. But maybe we shouldn't always eat until we explode anyways so maybe a less than gargantuan portion size at a good price is something more places should try. Now I really want me some pancakes... read more

The customer service is great! The food, I mean like anything you order is always awesomely delicious!!! Awesome CHEF!!!!!

I've always loved coming to Country Kitchen. They have a new menu as of 2024 with cash prices being significantly cheaper than credit prices. A lot of businesses are moving towards this model. The primary server is a young woman named Jessica. She's very kind and hard working. Loyal and funny. She's great with my children. The one thing I would suggest is that you strip your jacket prior to entering unless you want to smell like food all day!! Listen some people like that smell. I'll always return here. Loyal customer till the end. 9.1/10 read more

Country Kitchen - My appetite sufficiently appeased - New American Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

Little hidden gem! I stop in once in a while with my Dad to visit Jessica. The food and service is very good and the prices are the best. My favorite? Classic everyday pancakes. You can't go wrong. read more

Food was amazing!!!! I even ordered food to go, definitely will go back, chef was like a machine turning out food, wait staff very friendly and attentive, hidden gem if you've never been there, it was my first time but it will not be my last!!!!!!! read more

Came here for breakfast with the hubby on Sunday, late morning. We were the only ones in their. So it was nice and peaceful. The staff is very friendly, Nick is easy to talk to! To start with, we had a homemade banana nut muffin, grilled. It was delicious! The coffee tasted great. Not watered down like most diners. I had a basic breakfast, two over easy eggs, bacon, extra crispy home fries, and wheat toast. Nothing super fancy, basic but delicious. My husband got the egg white omelet with sausage and veggies. A little bit too much cheese inside. Probably could ease back a bit on that. But still very good. Price is extremely reasonable! Definitely looking forward to coming back for more breakfast options. The restroom could probably be a little updated and cleaner though. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. While the decor could certainly use an overhaul, the food and service outweighed that. Our server was so friendly and had a great personality, even cracking jokes with us. The omelette and French toast were very good and the prices very reasonable. We would certainly go back again! read more

I walked in and the waitress rolled her eyes I let it go,but when I change my order to something else and she rolled her eyes again. I vowed never to come back. Food was okay. Place looked like a typical diner. read more

35 years ago, I used to visit this restaurant regularly for breakfast, as I had a job in East Haven. Today, nothing in this place has changed...the decor is a time warp back to the way it looked in 1983. That alone is not necessarily a bad thing, but overall cleanliness of the restaurant has suffered and, frankly, the place needs a fresh coat of paint and perhaps some new lights. Now let's talk about the food, because that's what really counts. I ordered a simple breakfast: eggs/toast/coffee. The eggs were OK, but the hash browns had no seasoning and were literally burned and had the taste of a dirty, used grill. Inedible! As for the coffee, it was almost undrinkable...zero coffee taste...almost as if the recipe called for three scoops and the employee put in 1 scoop. I want this business to do well, I really do. It used to be the staple of breakfast in East Haven for years. But it has lost its mojo, its cleanliness, and its good food. Not a recipe for success. read more

this hidden gem on main street is well worth you stoping in for all day breakfast or lunch, clean, quaint, the food is very good and always served hot to you by the two most pleasant wait staff i've ever seen , Jessica has that greeting smile and friendly hello whenever you enter. makes you feel welcome,also Audrey provides great service and the same friendly hello greeting upon entering, you always get great food, served with a friendly smile & courteous "anything else i can do "by these ladies , Leo provides consistently great meals at a very affordable price. don't hesitate to stop in for that country home type of service and food read more

In years past Country Kitchen has been the place for a quick and well priced breakfast in East Haven. However, the last few times I've been there it has taken over an hour to get our food. On my last visit my bacon and cheese omelette took 40 min to come out, while my girlfriends bacon egg and cheese sandwich took an hour. The waitress gave us an excuse that someone else took it, but based on the fact that there was no one else in the restaurant when our food finally came out..I'm not buying it! Country Kitchen, shame on you! You have obviously lost your way. Time to find a new breakfast spot! read more

Good food and fast service. The waiter was super friendly and kind. The food was made fast and fresh. In and out in less than 40 minutes! read more

This place is very much as other Yelp reviewers described-- if you want simple eggs and toast with friendly, but super slow service at affordable prices-- this is for you. It is a greasy spoon with good raisin toast, over cooked bacon, weak coffee, and crispy home fries-- it all tastes good (really,) but not a foodie joint or one for good health. The wait staff was friendly and if you're a local, you'll fit right in. As shared in my tip, you must bring cash, parking is limited, and there is not much diversity (of menu or people). read more

Country Kitchen - Finally arrived. Decent, but not great. - New American Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

Today we tried Country Kitchen for the first time ever. Never even knew this place existed until today! Anyway, my pancakes were great and my boyfriend enjoyed his eggs Benedict. The home fries were a little bland but overall, I would eat here again! read more

Great little spot. Highly recommend this local breakfast and lunch gem. Leo, Nick and Jennifer did a great job...looking forward to the next time! read more

I went to Country Kitchen today and was talking to the owner. I found out two things I did not know! The first is they DO have WIFI which is a big plus for me because I do not use a data plan. This wifi thing will make my lunches even longer and more enjoyable! Hopefully, the local business people will go for ~business lunches~, have a great lunch and if necessary do a little work. Secondly, they take both credit and debit cards. Could it get any better...after finding out about the wifi it can't get better for me. BTW... I had a great Philly Cheese Steak just the way I like! read more

The country kitchen is right around the corner from where I work. You can imagine I've been there more than my fair share of times. The good part about you reading this review is that I keep going back. There's a good variety of food on the menu. The business is locally owned by a small family. The food is pretty good. The place is a bit dated and could really use some updating. I'm not expecting a miracle but the floor and the furniture really need to be switched out for new stuff. There are plenty of other diners in the area which easily take business away from the country kitchen. read more

SO cheap! two eggs w/ homefries & toast $2! service was super quick too. this place is adorable.

We've been going to Country Kitchen for 35 years when we want a quick, affordable breakfast. With the new owner, the place is cleaner but new waitresses only want to close as early as possible and are upset if you go in a hour before closing. They don't even want to put up fresh coffee. I ordered an egg sandwich last week and the english muffin was so tiny that it wouldn't hold the one egg and the thinnest bacon on record. The potatoes have no seasoning much less a little onion. I am a tiny person with tiny appetite and I left hungry. This was the third and last time I visited and left unhappy. read more

Very inexpensive! This is not a fancy place, however it is extremely affordable and the food is consistently good.

Not impressed. Home fries were mushy. Staff not very helpful. Good prices. Couldn't get onto WiFi waitress gave us nonfunctional password.

My favorite place for breakfast. The prices are so cheap and the food is like home cooked.

Best diner around. Everything on the menu tastes just a little bit better than the best thing you've ever eaten. Even the French fries are remarkable! read more

Personable staff, good wholesome American fare, Breakfast & Lunch only. This review website and others have somehow associated an Indian Restaurant menu with this restaurant. Not so. It's great American food!! Older reviews state cash only. That was true for old management. They accept credit now. Do yourself a favor & head over for made to order breakfast or lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopped on my way through East Haven and left without a single regret! Service and the food were a 10!! Would make this my first stop when in the area. read more

A good little restaurant. We went for breakfast and we're not disappointed. I ordered the pancakes as the waiter Nick told us they were one of the best things on the menu. We got a pancake for my son with a ton of fresh fruit on top and my wife got the rainbow burrito which again nick said was one of the best things on the menu. I wish I had gotten one of the burritos as it was very very good. The pancakes were good as well. The biggest surprise was the potatoes that came with the burrito. I am not a breakfast potatoes fan but I try them constantly as they come with most breakfast dishes. These were excellent. Nicely flavored with a few herbs and enough salt. That is what impressed me most about this restaurant. The kitchen seemed to get bogged down easily, I think there is only one tiny bathroom for the place. There is parking both on the street as well as behind it. I would definitely go there again. read more

Was not impressed. My burrito came out more like a quesadilla or something (maybe grilled, and not in a good way), and something about our meal just wasn't all that appetizing. read more

We were looking for a nice (non-franchise) diner for a quick but good lunch. Country Kitchen offered precisely that. Recommendable.

I have been all over the world - best hotels and I have never gotten Eggs Benedict than Country Kitchen!

Great food, variety breakfast choices, good price. Some bad reviews from before the place changed hands. Always good since we've been going there 2015. Our favorite breakfast spot! read more
