I was after two specific things they say they offer so I asked about them before making the drive out. The person on the phone indicated they had not offered either item since before COVID. I asked why the menus still indicated they had them and he said they just had never gotten around to updating anything. COVID was years ago now. That made me question how well they were doing other things with no reviews in a long time. Then on another site someone complained when they came they were being disrespectful to the flag (I did not see it, just read about it), but we live in Navy and Marine territory and I found it disrespectful to the people they want as customers and to whom I very much respect. The great reviews were from 1-2 years ago and then nothing. Which makes me wonder why?

This is our first time back at the Kettle since returning to OC last September and it is just as I…read moreremember: tasty, down home cooking and friendly folks. I asked our very helpful and sweet server Jersey if she had only 2 choices with one being chicken fried chicken or the daily special Taco Salad, which would she go with and she said the taco salad. So, that's what I ordered. It was very tasty, loaded with 2 types of cheese a side of Jalapeño (which I gave to hubby) alot of fresh tomatoes and lettuce, a side of salsa and sour cream served in a somewhat crispy tortilla shell. And the shell is the only reason for a 4 star vs 5, the shell wasn't as light and crispy as I like it. It tasted as if they fried it several hours ago and honestly, I get why they did it that way as it saves time but the shell just left me disappointed. Hubby ordered a patty melt with fries. We came into town to scope out the Jacksonville Landing for future bass fishing mornings and when I told him we were stopping in here for lunch he already knew he was having the melt. I mean, he thought about it for 90 minutes lol. I've had their melts before and it is yummy. I think though the fries were the star on his plate. They were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside and topped with something akin to Old Bay Seasoning. And they were HOT! Y'all, i mean, they're only fries but rhey were PERFECT! I am seriously alreasy looking forward to our 1st fishing adventure just so we can have lunch at the Kettle once we've caught all the bass. Jersey was quite attentive, but not hovering and warm friendly like only you'll find in the south. Oh, bestie told me to get the chocolate torte because she said, literally, "it's life altering." However, I forgot to so, just another thing for me to enjoy after our initial fishing trip. In some ways, you can go home again.

The food, well let's just say that I rarely come upon a menu that I plan other visits just to plow through the menu. I'm literal about planning additional visits to sample items not on the menu. Like I said, very few menus are that good that I would plan a second visit, but this place deserves multiple visits just to find my favorite menu item! God help me!

Overall just ok. Jerk Pork - nothing but fatty pieces. Red beans and rice incredibly dry - even worse day 2. Cabbage ok maybe 2 tablespoons worth. Oxtail - Steam rice and cabbage - person ended up getting violently sick for several days. Oxtail #2 - said was too spicy (but is spice sensative) rice was fine. Mac and cheese overcooked and dry. Jerk chicken - good spice, steamed rice had some sort of sauce the other steam rice didn't and wasn't requested. Same dry mac and cheese. Veggy patties were really good and not dry almost tasted like a chicken pot pie filling without the chicken. Coconut bread - very good, super soft Plantains - good standard cook. Overall out of the 4 adults we all agreed we wouldn't be back - especially the one who was sick (may not be related who knows...no one else was sick and it was after this meal). Maybe if you dine in things won't be as dry or you could send it back if it was. For almost $100 and a couple tablespoons of meat, overcooked rice, overcooked mac and cheese - no thanks.
