What a find!!! Beautiful welcoming good morning with a smile, small cozy restaurant 1egg, sausage/biscuit with gravy on the side, 2nd entree buttermilk pancakes w/sausage. The sausage was REAL! Biscuit was very large, light and perfect(not too much salt) Egg cooked perfectly, the buttmilk pancakes are a danger for anyone on a low carb diet.. deliciousness! Syrup served warm. I eyeballed the western omelet on the next table...looked yummy. Plenty of coffee refills, brewed iced tea finished us off.... A little jewel nestled in Union, WV.. a breakfast must stop for anyone in their travels. read more

See all

Not very clean , hostess was not friendly and terrible food. Do no recommend. Food was cold, no refills, and just bad ambiance.

My experience at Kalico Kitchen in Union, WV yesterday. I visited this restaurant while traveling through for work. When I entered no one greeted me and I stood at the counter for at least 5 minutes while the waitress ignored me. There was no sign to seat yourself or wait. She was rude when I asked. I should have left then. I ordered a BLT and it was cold and cheaply made. She threw the check on the table immediately and was not attentive. I then went to the counter to pay. I gave her my card and she immediately lost it telling me it was only cash or check. "Didn't you read the sign on the door?" I politely said I didn't see it. She was visibly upset. She told me there was an atm across the street. I explained that wasn't an option for me and the card I have. She was seriously upset by this point. I went to my car to look for change to pay. My bill was $5 and something. I could only find a little over 2 dollars. I went back in and explained again to the waitress and told her what I have. I offered to leave my license or a card to come back and pay. She was rude again and mumbled and walked away. A man came out to the register. I'm assuming the manager or owner. He looked me up and down and said "Didn't you read the sign on the door?" in a rude tone. I explained no, I had not. I offered to leave my license or card to come back later and give them the $3 at this point that I owed. He refused this. He wanted to give me his address to mail it. At this point they had me to the point of tears out of confusion and embarrassment. I thought and asked a lady in the restaurant if she had cash app so that I could send her money and use her cash. She was really sweet. She asked how much and I said $5 or something around there. She pulled out a $5 bill and gave it to me. I asked her how I could pay her back and she said to pass it on. I was still crying at this point and I thanked her and hugged her. It was so nice of her. I then proceeded to give the man at the register the money and he threw it to the end of the counter. I was shocked. He said "I'm not taking that". I was dumbfounded. He looked at me and the lady who had given me the money and I said "it was a gift from her". She shook her head in agreement. She had a table full of young kids watching. I put the money back in front of him and said "I'm not in here bumming food" and walked out. He was still mumbling and grumbling. Overall it was a great experience if you're looking for heartless, confrontational, assholes who will make you cry over $3. I lKalico Kitchen Kalico Kitchen read more

I've been having lunch there for years...always the same thing, a Paul Bunyan (a burger with a slice of ham). Always hits the spot. Fries could use some help. read more

Terrible service! Hopefully the owner will see to properly hiring polite staff! Just maybe be considerate, or switch careers.

Small town diner ... efficient service and very friendly. The food is mediocre. The prices are reasonable.

Food is not worth it. Ambience is ok. Service is good. I don't go there anymore, but lots of folks do. I think it has nothing to do with the food, but everything to do with seeing their friends. read more

Great food and service. The pizza was loaded with toppings. Prices were reasonable.

The food was decent. I had the special, which was he country fried steak with white gravy and two sides (green beans and mashed potatoes). The meal came with one roll and a sealed container of whipped butter. As for the taste of the food, I couldn't complain. Its what I would consider classic country cooking. It's not going to blow you away, but for $7, I feel like I got my money's worth. The interior could use a bit of work, but it's not terrible. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Monday at noon in such a small town. read more

We had great service, food came out fast, and they have the best chicken tenders I've ever had. I highly recommend coming here

Kalico Kitchen is the only place in the world I ever have been served undercooked French fries. That was my first visit. My second of total two visits, I received a taco salad with Doritos for chips and a sealed plastic single-serving of sour cream, which opened to reveal a spot of mold. The recipes set the bar pretty low. But the execution and quality control fail even to meet it. That said, if you just want to hang and gab with a coupla friends for cheap, Kalico Kitchen may be your ticket. That Dorito taco salad? $4 flat. Plus Kalico Kitchen is open Sundays and other hours, when the eatery pickin's are slim. The decor is economy diner style, with booths, laminate, and vinyl, and is reasonably clean, though feels a little claustrophobic to me. It doesn't help at all that Fox News is always playing. The staff and patrons are loveable, down-home types who know each other. The demographic leans toward silver hair. Food 3 + ambiance 3 + value 7 + service 5 = overall 3.9 /10 (forgettable) read more

The Kitchen has been in Union for decades and still seems to remain a local favorite but I was very unimpressed with it myself. Nothing I had really seemed homemade and the pies served for dessert were clearly pre-packaged as they came in single serving, commercially packaged units. The interior is fine, if a little run down, and has been pretty busy every time I've been by but the actual food and pokey service failed to impress me in the least. read more

Always fast service and delicious food. We are local and eat here quite often. Have never had a problem. They don't except cards but there's a bank down the street if you need cash. read more

Almost an hour later I am still waiting for a corn dog. My two year old is still waiting on his food, although the rest of our party has finished eating by now. The "large" fries... not so much. Much is lacking here. If you have somewhere else to be its worth your time to wait for another place to eat. read more

The Kalico Kitchen is all about food, friends and neighbors. Danny makes a great BBQ and if things are slow on Friday night one can find a good steak to pass the time. However, the stars are just as much for their service to the community as they are for the food. Farmer to banker, all are at home. 'Round here, they are hard not to love. read more
