A decade later and this spot is still excellent!…read more I customized Kay's Orcutt Original into a scramble instead of an omelet. It wasn't a pretty plate, but it tasted great. Definitely get the hash browns with whatever you order. Sitting at the counter gave me a front-row seat to the kitchen prep. The food runners have an interesting system for pulling plates from the heat lamps. A few orders seemed to sit for a bit, but my meal came out hot.

We went to Kay's Country Kitchen on Sunday after church as a family, looking to enjoy a late…read morebreakfast/brunch. I've been here before and have usually had a good experience. We normally sit in the open patio/sunroom area, which has a really nice country-style atmosphere, and the food has always been good. Our waiter was also very nice, courteous, and attentive, so I have no complaints about the service he provided. Unfortunately, this visit was very different because we were seated directly in front of the area where the kitchen staff was cooking, prepping, and washing dishes. Throughout our meal, I could hear several members of the kitchen staff joking around and talking loudly. Horseplay among coworkers normally wouldn't bother me, but the language being used was extremely vulgar. Most of it was being said in Spanish, and I got the impression they assumed the customers nearby didn't understand Spanish. One phrase in particular, "a la verga," was being repeated constantly -- "vete a la verga," "a la verga esto," "a la verga lo otro," over and over again. Without getting into a literal translation, it is an extremely vulgar phrase, roughly equivalent to repeatedly saying things like "fuck that, fuck him" and roughly translated to they can eat a dick, he can eat a dick, they can eat a dick. I was sitting there with three young children who understand Spanish, trying to enjoy eggs and hash browns with my family while listening to this language coming from the kitchen over and over again. That's simply not appropriate in a family restaurant. Eventually, I got up and approached the kitchen staff myself. I politely asked them, in both Spanish and English, if they could please keep the vulgar language down because I had young children with me. The employee who had been using the phrase the most acted as though he didn't understand what I was saying and then pointed me toward another employee wearing a blue polo. I explained the same thing to him -- that we were trying to enjoy a family brunch and could clearly hear the constant vulgar language. Unfortunately, he seemed uninterested, appeared to be in a hurry, and essentially brushed off my concern. I didn't believe he was the manager because I would hope a manager wouldn't handle a legitimate customer concern that way. I later spoke with the actual manager, who told me she would address the issue with the kitchen staff, which I appreciated. The food was still good and our waiter did a great job, so my complaint isn't about them. It's specifically about the professionalism of the kitchen staff and the way my initial concern was handled. My recommendation to families with young children would be to ask to sit as far away from the kitchen area as possible. And if you hear this type of language, say something. Employees should be able to joke and enjoy working together, but repeatedly using extremely vulgar language loud enough for customers and children to hear is unacceptable in a family restaurant.

This café looks pretty small when you first walk in, but surprisingly, it opens up into a much…read morebigger space toward the back. There's actually plenty of room to sit and chill. Service was good and friendly. The biggest downside was the temperature--it was pretty hot inside, and somehow it got even hotter the farther back you went. Not exactly ideal when California is already burning hot outside! The coffee was just so-so for me. I tried the avocado toast, which came with a LOT of bacon. If you're a bacon lover, you'll probably love it, but since I personally don't like bacon, it was a little too much for me. There's a decent amount of parking right in front, which is convenient. Overall, it's an okay spot to hang out and relax--as long as you don't mind the heat!

There was a few Don't Tell Comedy shows in the back but I haven't seen them come there in a while. Food is usually great just as it is at Kay's. Only giving 3 stars because I have lost count how many times I've had my nights disrupted by planning to go down there for a drink with some friends to find that they abruptly closed before the advertised closing time. They vaguely state closing time as "till Close" without a specific time, but in many of their social media posts they list specific times and I've planned around those several times only to find the door shut and lights off with a sign on the door OR getting turned away if they're still inside cleaning. It's frustrating. Sadly there are not many liquor-licensed places in Orcutt. It's still worth going to get a drink or food, just make sure you have a backup plan.

This was my 3rd time coming to Blast 825 Brewery and this time was the best…read more Tonight me and wifey went on a double date with some good friends and chose this spot specifically for the beer, food and of course the Dodger game that was on tonight. We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was surprisingly delicious and the wife ordered a beer. We sat in the bar area and I decided to go with the self pour option where they give you a card to tap a sensor and select any beer on tap to pour yourself. Me and a buddy of mine had some issues with a few of the self pour taps where we just believed they were out of beer and it also over charged us. I told a server about my single issue where it over charged me and he said he would take care of it but my friend had the worst of luck. 2/3 beers he attempted to pour were simply out. This was when Jess, our savior came to the rescue. When it was time to pay the tab, she comped both of our orders. Mind you, I had 4 beers. Guess what the total was? Yeah, $28. Paid for my wife's beer and our pizza and because I had a single complication with the beer self pour station, she comped the 4 beers I had as well as my friend's order. This is Grade A customer service and a reason why I'd return to Blast 825 Brewery, so shoutout to Jess! We all appreciate you.
