Good ambiance and the food and the service are OK, but if you like the Monte Cristo, don't order it. The Monte Cristo is a well known sandwich, and it most prominent feature it being deep fried in a batter. Instead, here you get a plain ham and cheese sandwich. Again, the sandwich wasn't bad, but it was very disappointing. read more

Arrived at opening to avoid the inevitable rush. Quickly greeted and sat at the high top bar facing the open kitchen. Ordered a special of the day, El Paso omelet with red potato hash and sourdough toast. A true local business treasure. Support local. read more

I moved to the Austin area from Boston and one of the things I've missed from the northeast is great breakfast place. Not to mention, one that served breakfast all day. But as of two months ago, we have one! Home Kitchen just opened and it's AMAZING. There's so much right going on here to let's take it in pieces. The restaurant: It's beautiful and bright and spacious. While the place was packed when I went it... but it DIDN'T feel packed. The layout of the floor was executed perfectly and allowed patrons and staff to move easily. The Staff: Speaking of the staff, they're great! Warm and friendly and filled with recommendations on the menu. We were lucky enough to get the owners son, he was great! The Menu: Pictures are attached but they have everything from what you'd think of as breakfast staples AND some amazing new choices too! Now...the food: I got the pistachio, white chocolate chip pancakes with a side of eggs (over easy, perfect yolks) and bacon. Hands down, the best pancake I've ever eaten. I HOUSED that meal. I don't even realize I had until it was all gone. Not gonna lie, this is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Their specials menu changes weekly. I will be back again and again to try the specials AND work through the ENTIRE menu because it all sounds and looks (I looked at EVERY plate as it passed). You have to go try them out. Totally worth it. Your tummy and your wallet will thank you!!! read more

This place is my new favorite brunch spot in rr. The ambiance is great and service is awesome. The food is very solid. My husband loved his French toast and the loaded fries.

Home Kitchen is a cute breakfast/ brunch addition to Round Rock. The interior has a farmhouse feel to it. They're starting to become popular so, there was a wait. I don't believe they take reservations so, it's first come first served. I opted for the Apple Stuffed French Toast and Loaded Home Fries. The French toast was very filling and could've been split between two people (depending on how hungry you are). The loaded potatoes were by far my favorite. As a bonus, our server, Phyllis, was very nice and took great care of us. read more

We found this place with a yelp and Google search. We discovered via our waiter Maxwell that it had only been open 6 weeks. Due to that it was very clean and new. Nothing really special about the decor, but it was pleasant. SHANA SAYS: THE GOOD Love the selection of french toasts available. Honestly, I also love the selections of sandwiches and omelettes. It's a truly ambitious menu! And having not one but TWO different kinds of croissant-based french toasts is quite creative! The plating and presentation of food (not just ours, but everyone around us, as well) was very impressive. This is obviously something they work at. The coffee was quite good, and they kept it coming. Cute atmosphere, and lots of seating. Lighting was also good for a cafe. I saw several publicly available electric outlets. Bathrooms (there are two) are single-occupancy and unisex. They are large, well-stocked, cute, and very clean. THE BAD Food taste was solid, but only just so. And with the attention to detail evident in presentation, it comes across as a secondary concern. I would suggest shifting the focus a touch from presentation to taste. Back to me. Though Shana nails it. The food looks great, Maxwell was fast, friendly, and answered not just our random questions but everyone's with patience. No TVs or distractions this is a place to talk or read while you eat. As for the food, it's not bad but also doesn't stand out. We had a lot of food this weekend and this place just didn't have anything better then we had elsewhere. Still it is soild food and friendly staff at a decent price. read more

After waiting 40 minutes, we were seated for brunch. I'm not sure if they take reservations or not, but if they do, would recommend doing this on the weekend. I ordered the vegetarian omelette and it was pretty good. The home-fries (aka potatoes) were not good at all-- they lacked seasoning. I tried the croissant french toast and it was delicious. I would probably order that the next time. We did order a side of sausage with the french toast, but we didn't receive the sausage. Overall, would give this restaurant a 3.5, but due to not having half stars, I'm going with a 4. read more

Ok, second visit to "Home Kitchen", and I hit it at its peak on a Sunday. There were a few people outside waiting, so luckily I had called ahead and asked to be added to the wait list. Thomas as the front door was happy to accommodate us. After about a 30 min wait, we were called and seated. Our server Maxwell, was quite courteous as he introduced himself and took our drink order. I was feeling like lunch, but I was vacillating between several menu items. I asked what was the most popular sandwich ordered by their customers? He replied, the "Roast Beef", the "Chicken Salad", and the "Classic BLT). Since my wife and I were sharing as she couldn't decide either, we ordered the "Roast Beef" with the homemade potato salad as a side. We also ordered the "Chicken Salad", with sweet potato fries. Both were very good. Checking all the boxes on my "Fav List"...Good food, great service, excellent value. This is what you'll find at the Home Kitchen. So check it out for yourself.

Why not check the food you package prior to putting in the bag to ensure an entire order is there. It is very disappointing to order a pickup order, arrive home and items are missing. No the person picking up the order could not open it and check as they were just the driver. Absolutely unacceptable and then you don't answer the phone when I call to ask about my missing items. Nope home kitchen - not acceptable read more

A brand new breakfast and brunch spot in Round Rock(A W Grimes Blvd). It kind of looks and feels similar to First Watch, except for cheaper menu prices. The staff are all welcoming, friendly and very attentive. They took advantage of every opportunity they had to ask if we were okay and if we found everything to our liking, from start to end. I ordered the PBSO (Potato, Bacon, Scallion, Omelette) with a side of home fries. Was a little puzzled that the entree which already comes with potatoes, would also come with home fries. Seems like a whole lot of potatoes(carbs). The potatoes and home fries did not have a whole lot of flavor, as I typically like my food to be flavorful. The omelette was slightly overcooked, and dry. The portion was good but the quality and taste was not quite there. It also comes with the toast of your choice. I couldn't tell if they added butter to the toast. Looks great in the picture but will not be ordering it again. The energy was very lively and lots of people quickly filled up the restaurant. I would love to give this place another try, and will likely order something very simple like pancakes and eggs, and see how they fare. read more

Love this place. However they're always packed and the wait time is long. Price is reasonable, and portions are good. Flavors for the typical breakfast staples are also good. I always order their French toast with berries and it's delicious. Their homemade muffins are also good. read more

Good cup of coffee, mediocre brisket scramble. The veggies were cooked well but the dish was very oily and didn't have much flavor.

Service was great for a busy rainy day! Food was good and came out pretty fast. Definitely wanna go back to try that things on the menu. I got the southwestern eggs Benedict. read more

Home Kitchen is a very nice neighborhood place for breakfast or brunch. The menu is extensive. I have personally enjoyed the different omelets they make. The service has been great each visit.

I am happy that it turned out to be a place to eat which is my favorite pastime. read more

I love being able to support local, but can't find any reason to come here ever again. Cute aesthetic inside. Very loud. Not a comfortable space, ultimately. Yet another restaurant that buys the most uncomfortable chairs on the planet. They put cushions on the black metal ones, but that does nothing for the bars digging into you. Because of this, we asked for a booth at time of check-in. Waited 30 minutes and then called to a non-booth table. Staff was uncaring and unapologetic, stating we would not be able to get a booth seat. The unsweetened tea was cloudy looking and tasted like it might be from a powder. It left an odd texture and aftertaste. PBSC omelette was inedible as served. Like eating the world's most dry unseasoned baked potato. I had to drown it with hot sauce just to get it down. Ordered an English Muffin instead of toast and it came pre-buttered, which was unexpected and could prevent people from consuming based on preferences and dietary needs. Why not just provide butter at the table and give your patrons the choice? Benedict had completely black burnt English Muffin and over poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was decent. The breakfast potatoes that came with every meal were completely bland. Both servings went uneaten across our two plates. Ordered a side of corn beef hash and found the texture strange, almost like finely ground raw beef. And it was super salty! With everything else being bland, the amount of salt in this was shocking. I think the waiter knew better than to ask how our meal was and just quickly cleared the not empty plates. $60 and 1.5 hours wasted. read more

Just learned about Home Kitchen as a friend and I were looking for a place to meet for breakfast on Sunday. It's located in a small business area, parking can be limited, next door to an arcade. The inside design is very sleek and beautifully built, does not give off a diner feel. I wanted plain buttermilk pancakes (no toppings) so the waitress recommended the perfect combo...the eggs were seasoned well, I asked for crispy bacon and it was too hard to chew, and the pancakes had no taste. My friend ordered the western omelette especially for the home fries the waitress recommended...the fries needed seasoning, the omelette was good (waitress recommended their homemade salsa verde), and toast was kinda burnt. Although my food was just ok, I will say I saw other tables' food and they ordered stuffed French toast and fancy pancakes that were very well plated, looked pretty, and customers were definitely cleaning their plates; I just don't like fancy pancakes, etc.; however, if you do I think you should stop by. As of now, they do not take online reservations so it is first come so make sure to allow for a possible wait especially on the weekend. read more

Absolutely--here's your honest, funny review for Home Kitchen: Home Kitchen: More Like "You Should've Just Eaten at Home" I really don't get the hype about this place. I came in ready for some cozy comfort food magic--y'know, home kitchen vibes. What I got? A long wait, a small plate, and a side of deep-fried disappointment. The portions? Tiny. The food itself? Aggressively average. Like, if mediocrity were a menu item, this place would serve it with a garnish and charge $3 extra. But the real crime? The fries. Half-frozen. Sad. Somewhere between crunchy and confused. Like they were cooked in a toaster on strike. I took one bite and considered starting a support group for people who've been misled by menu photos. And after an hour wait for food that tasted like it came from a stressed college roommate? Yeah, no thanks. This place didn't slap--it lightly tapped me on the shoulder and whispered, "You should've stayed home." Save yourself the time, the fries, and the existential disappointment. Also can someone tell me why this place is so popular? Is it the lack of brunch places or are we swayed by some new TikTok trend? read more

We were lucky to beat the rush at 9 AM on a Saturday as there was a line out the door as we were leaving. However, it does look like they have a decent amount of seating so the wait shouldn't be too long. For food, they have your standard offerings of a breakfast place--coffee, eggs, sandwiches, omelettes, benedicts, pancakes/french toast, and sides. When asked about daily specials our server shared they are posted on a chalk board, which is next to where the servers get drinks. Luckily I was able to try a bit of everything and based off this would suggest skipping the Specials and stick to their savory items... Cinnamon roll french toast stuffed with banana and chocolate chips-Presentation was pretty but this thing was small like smaller than a fist...I also wouldn't called this stuffed, it was more like a cinnamon roll sandwich with banana and strawberries as the filling and honestly think they forgot the chocolate chips. However there was a chocolate sauce which I liked but the other yellow sauce tasted a bit sour to me. Luckily the whipped cream was tasty as it would be too dry if eaten plain. I also ordered a side of bacon as Specials sadly didn't come with anything else. Pistachio Pancake-Another daily special item and again just a bit meh, but looks pretty in pics. Note, each pancake is your standard 6" pancake and you order and are charged per pancake...so order accordingly. Turkey Omelette-A pretty solid omelette but a bit lacking in flavor, and wished the onions were caramelized as stated. However, the home fries were seasoned and cooked well. Southwestern Eggs Benedict-This was your standard eggs benedict with the addition of bacon and avocado. It wasn't bad but might benefit from a different seasoning to make it live up to it's Southwestern name. Overall, I think the space was fairly inviting, but be prepared to be a bit cozy next to your neighbors. I also found the acoustics inside can make it a bit challenging to hear at times but funny story-- when asked what we would like with our coffee, we mentioned "oat milk" and our server asked if we wanted a cup or bowl. We all look confused and said um cup please. She then brought us the little coffee creamers and we again asked for the oat milk, but then she said only almond milk was available. That's when we realized she thought we meant oatMEAL. We eventually got some almond milk, but honestly service was slow and we had to follow up on our requests a few times and even still was given the incorrect thing. However, I realize they just opened so are probably still trying to find their rhythm but based on the food, service, and atmosphere I probably would give them some time to work things out before coming back. read more

I was able to check out this new brunch restaurant in Round Rock this past weekend. It's a very cute spot and in an area where they need more local restaurants like this. Our server was great and very attentive. I believe they are known for their sweeter breakfast dishes but I was in the mood for lunch so I didn't sample them. My sandwich was good - but not anything stellar. My friend also thought the same about her breakfast dish. I think their prices are a little on the higher end for what they are/serving sizes. I would however give this place another try though because they're new. read more
