I've been dining here since I was a kid. Everything is homemade and delicious. Their pies are beyond reproach; especially the lemon meringue and coconut cream. There's always a wait to get a seat, but it usually moves pretty quickly. My Mom and I had breakfast here recently and each ordered the vegetarian omelettes with a side of biscuits and gravy. We were very happy. read more

Fantastic breakfast food and pies. Staff are always super nice. Beware that it is a small place so waiting for a table is the norm. read more

Kate's Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flat Rock, Michigan

Food and service was great. It is cash only which I didn't notice. The coconut cream pie was delicious.

Best homemade food you'll ever find. Service is fast in a cozy atmosphere. The renovations they did a few years ago really spiffed the place up. read more

You can really tell when something is from scratch and homemade and Kate's food is it! Amazing quality, comforting atmosphere, and the ladies are so welcoming and inviting! Definitely the best spot for breakfast. Looking forward to coming back next week! read more

I've never left a review on anything in my life. Lived in Flat Rock for over 20 years. This place is the absolute worst. It's dirty, all the people I've ever dealt with there have been rude and the food is garbage. However I would get pies there for an elderly neighbor. 20 dollars. Always over priced but she likes them so I deal with it. Get there today - well the price is now 21. Keep in mind they cheat the tax code and only take cash. I tell the horrifically rude girl I just have the 20, that ok this time? While looking at a tip jar filled with 30 in one's. Sorry sir - 21 dollars. F*ck this place. I will never go there again and stare through the covid plexiglass that's still up. Place is a complete shit hole. read more

I have bought frozen pies from Kates before and they were great! However the four pies I bought frozen from them for the holidays were nearly impossible to eat. The filling was very little fruit and most juice. So disappointing and will not ever buy again! read more

a friend bought me a banana cream pie from Kates and it was outrageuosly good!! not crazy about marang topping but was very fresh and good!! read more

The place is a downriver classic Mom and Pop breakfast place. Homemade pies and breads. Pies get sold but the bread doesn't. Their prices have changed with the times but their quality remains the same which I think says a lot: they could have cut corners and cheapened the product but they didn't. Thank you, Kate. The French toast, for instance, still has plenty of what my cousin named the "goo factor" so it has plenty of cinnamon and brown sugar and more goodness rolled into a slice. Friendly service. It's my go-to breakfast place. read more

Every time we go is a delicious experience. Their food quality is amazing and the portion size is too. Limited hours (Thursday - Sunday, until 2:00 only) and cash only. But every one of their 15 - ish tables is full the whole time. Not ideal for large groups, as none of the tables really accommodate more than 6 or so people. Definitely recommend the cinnamon toast, and the pies are outstanding as well. read more

You will love this place Everything is homemade pies, sausage gravy, homemade cinnamon rolls, biscuits. Everything there is yummy !

My work friends wanted to plan a day to come here and was impatient because the moment I saw the strawberries and biscuits on the menu I had to go IMMEDIATELY small hometown feel vibe which I loved! The food was amazing and yummy! The potatoes were cooked perfectly, the serving size was perfect! Service was great as well! We will for sure be coming back here read more

Great biscuits and gravy. Great pies. It was our first time going this morning and I definitely definitely would come back again read more

Kate's Kitchen is a gem of a diner with great food and friendly service. Our server was really busting it and working hard. Looks like they are understaffed but the wait isn't too terrible. The only drawback is no option for debit/credit payment. Cash only. We aren't local, so I'm not sure if this is temporary. Definitely recommend a stop at Kate's over a mediocre chain breakfast restaurant. read more

The food is always amazing and fresh. I usually get the Kate's country breakfast with the biscuits and gravy. I love their sausage patties and always have very delicious pies if you have room. read more

So my bucket list of restaurants down river, I had to say this was outstanding. The food here is incredible. The staff is really super nice. I love the ambience of feeling like you're old store and you're at home with home cooking. I enjoyed the southern omelette with smothered and sausage gravy that's a 10 out of 10. I also enjoyed the French toast that's a 10 out of 10 I also enjoyed the biscuits with Gravy thats 10 of 10 Told my whole entire experience coming to Kate's Kitchen is fantastic. I recommend to anybody who is in flat rock and looking for a great place to have breakfast but the key is it's cash only no credit card make sure you bring cash . Conn only open for breakfast and lunch . so the only open four days a week From morning to 2 pm so the days are Thursday Friday, Saturday and Sunday closed Monday Tuesday Wednesday. If I'm wrong, please correct me. I feel that the rich history of kate's kitchen goes long distance with the community of flat rock. So if you're really want something like homemade and home cooked meal go here. read more

The biscuits and gravy are amazing!! Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable. A must-try Downriver destination for a great breakfast experience! ​ read more

Small, cozy place, with fewer than 20 tables. Quite delicious food and friendly accommodating service - we were very lucky that our group of 11 got seated all together. Brunch menu, with both breakfast- and lunch options. The grilled cinnamon toast was amazing! read more

Kate's Kitchen is the kind of restaurant that you just might drive by if you don't what is served inside. Their pies are to die for. And breakfast dishes are special treats, especially the biscuits and gravy. Yum! We love it there but just don't go enough! read more

This diner was an overall pleasant experience. The waitress was nice and the food was delicious. Based off the picture you see, the food I got was just as good as it looks, if not better. I would gladly give five stars if not for the lengthy wait for the food. It was quite crowded and they seem to be understaffed, so I understand the wait. read more

Kate's Kitchen - I ordered Two Eggs & Biscuits / Toast, as shown in the picture. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flat Rock, Michigan

Glad I read cash only. It limited my amount of food... lol. Cause we could have had pie and cream puffs etc!!! We are the only bobtail semi in the back of lot too haha! Wanted someplace different today so this is it. I wanted some type of French toast.. was opting for cinnamon toast but I chose the wknd special banana bread French toast. Wish they had a smaller combo meal. Two pieces French toast plus eggs and meat. But I had it all. Had to take two of the 4 banana bead with. Bf had chef salad with two cups of chili. Now that was good too!! read more

Best little hidden spot for desserts in flat rock , the pies are phenomenal and tasty you won't be disappointed in the least bit ...but they have the BEST biscuits and gravy I've tasted in a long time but beware if you try to get breakfast from them it's busy in weekends after church goers take over the place . It's a nice little spot for the older crowd after mass to grab coffee and breakfast and just chat . Nice little atmosphere in our small little town .....highly recommend you try a pie and biscuits n gravy read more

It's been 5 years now since this happened, still haven't been back. So rude, so disrespectful the blonde waitress with 24 years. Our 3rd and final visit left us in awe. She had a line at the door and register while keeping a giggling conversation going with a customer, just ignore everyone and her job. After 10 minutes of useless gab. She finally started checking customers out. We sat ourselves in a booth, waiting another 10 minutes she arrives with a rude sad face, just moments ago in joyful laughter. Got our drink and wife started order a all meat omelet with double meat. She then tells wife that's gonna be a really expensive Omelet, ,, how rude , how such a mean look on your face, what don't think we can afford it. We very often order double meat on many items eating out 300 days per. Totally uncalled for. I inquire for many sources finding out she's been like this forever with dozens of negative rude reviews on many sites I viewed and a former worker telling me she's a real B. I can never support or visit your place again. Keep a close eye on her she's running many customers off, or just maybe you got Enough business to keep this unpredictable employee. read more

The food is great and friendly service. Has breakfast the sugar baked ham and biscuits are wonderful. The sausage gravy is also wonderful

Ate there for breakfast 2 days in a row. Food and service are both outstanding. The BEST biscuits anywhere. That is not to say other food is not great. Amazing pies and biscuits with strawberry sauce and whipped cream. Yum read more

Food was delicious however they won't let me buy slices of pie !! That is a big negative in my book. If I want a slice of each fruit pie then u sell me a slice of each fruit pie no excuses. Other than that it's all good. Great biscuits. Mediocre gravy read more

We placed a carry out order and it was amazing as usual. We have been eating at Kate's Kitchen for over 25 years now and still can't wait until we have them again and that has never changed! Thank You Kate's Kitchen & staff for all your hard work and great food!!! read more

Amazing breakfast. Never get anything else. It is so, so, good. My husband gets other options, and also enjoys them. Also, get a whole pie. Last one was raspberry and peach. Best pie ever. Lots of fruit. Imagine that in a fruit pie. lol. We have been going here for years. Best hillbilly gravy in a restaurant. Best baked goods. Service is always fast and courteous. It is a little cement block building, nothing fancy, across the tracks, and across from the river. So, comfy. Like going home for a meal. read more

Great breakfast, Home cooking ... Better than mine anyway. Everyone is nice, pleasant, friendly. Kates has been a gem for quite a few years. You wont leave hungry read more

My friend ordered a carry out. Simple order. The woman said it would be 35-40 minutes. We were gonna get the biscuits and strawberries but the lady said they wouldn't have those till next week (seasonal item). We figured hey, good reason to hang out next week lol. After 30 minutes we were literally less than one minute away when Kate's Kitchen started calling. My friend answered twice and there was nobody on the other end. Both times she said I can't hear you but I'm less than a minute away. They kept calling, she didn't answer. Then also a Wyandotte number was calling. She didn't answer. B!tch buttoned all the calls. They literary called her non stop up until she was walking through the door. The owner admitted to calling non stop trying to say it was just because she didn't want the food sitting there getting cold and she said she could hear my friend on the line. So if she could hear her, why did she keep calling non stop after my friend said "I can't hear you but we're less than a minute away"! There's more that happened inside but my friend can write that review. And the Wyandotte number that was calling was some little rood kid that was working there that the owner told to call my friend. So after 30 minutes the owner decided it would be a good idea to call non stop and enlist one of her workers as well to call from their cell phone to harass my friend to come get our food when THEY said it would be 35-40 minutes (we got there early). The food, it was awful. Biscuits were dry and hard, the gravy was burn you skin off hot and runny and the French toast was ice cold. Plus she asked for extra butter and got no butter. Another couple walked out with my friend. Apparently they had been waiting over an hour for their food, simple breakfast eggs and toast. They were walking out the door as they brought it from the kitchen. What a joke this place is. Oh, and the biscuits and strawberries I posted about at the beginning, well they posted on their FB page within minutes of my friend ordering that they had biscuits and strawberries and to come on in to get em. I know because I went to their FB page to leave a review (which they conveniently don't have a review tab) and seen it and the time they posted. Why even bother having a business if that's the way you do your customers! read more

Everything was delicious. It is small so you have to get there very early to get a table. It is worth it. Wowww... breakfast was delicious and the fresher baked pies, cookies, brownies etc...The fresh biscuits with strawberries and cream YUMMY read more

The vegetable omelette is great. The home fries are tasty. The staff is terrible and SO rude. The one waitress who is there every day looks annoyed, talks annoyed, acts annoyed. I have never, ever seen a smile on her face. You can see every table in the place, yet for some reason, we always have to wait and flag down our waitress. The pumpkin pie is UNACCEPTABLE. It is dark brown. The table next to us asked if we got chocolate pie!!! It doesn't even taste like pumpkin pie. read more
