This place was packed when we walked in so we sat down at the counter and ordered breakfast. The food was out quickly and delicious, our waitress never let our cups go empty and we enjoyed watching the kitchen staff cook and serve everyone. read more

Super cute Mom and pop restaurant. The inside has tables lined up against the wall with an exposed kitchen right in front. The place was packed on Sunday morning so we ended up sitting at a table for 6 and then they sat two more people at the end of our table. The waitress was the epitome of a southerner with her sweet personality and "sweethearts and baby dolls" talk. She kept our corree refilled and treated us like we were her only table even though she was really busy. I went with the standard of two eggs over medium, potatoes, bacon and a biscuit. Everything was very very good. My friend had the biscuits and gravy which were phenomenal! Nice and pepper with chunks of sausage in them. I just loved the biscuits in general! Super soft and buttery! Great coffee and terrific service for a great price! read more

Kathy's Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

See all

This place is exactly what you would expect from a local, home style, breakfast place. Really good food and even better friendly service. I had the Mayhem and the fresh biscuits made the meal. Order this only if you're really hungry because there's a lot going on with this dish. Drive past the Ihop and Waffle House in Goldsboro and get yourself to Kathy's! read more

This is the best breakfast place in eastern NC! Be ready to wait or sit closely with people you don't know! But it's worth it

It's a good breakfast. Best link sausage in town. The service is quick and accurate. It is a tight fit but they do well with what they've got. read more

Worst place ever. DO NOT COME HERE. Staff members were unfriendly, and terrible waiting times. The establishment was unclean and infested with flies read more

The staff at Kathy's Kitchen is always incredibly friendly and no one could ever complain about their prices. It's perfect for anyone looking for simple old school breakfast spot read more

I don't usually like to throw the 'racist' word around because we're in sensitive times, but I was incredibly uncomfortable at this establishment. It went from everything from the greeting, casual checks during the meal to the two black members of a group of 6 being served absolutely last. The waitress served one meal at a time, which is a long walk from the back, so imagine having to get your meal last. Let's discuss the food...not worth it, not good at all, it all taste the same, like nothing. I will never come back to a place that has such obvious tension toward minorities and 99% of the photos hanging up are of white people. The other 1%, the black guy is sitting with a group of white people. I regret having to spend my green money here. read more

Visited on 2/21. The food's not bad but it's not great either. It's a simple, down-home restaurant with reasonable prices and fast service. My issue is that while eating there I noticed at least five employees who wore masks but did not wear them over their noses. The lady taking money at the register had absolutely NO face covering at all. I get it, the masks are hot, they're uncomfortable and no one wants to wear them but, at some point, you have to decide it's not about you. It's a state mandate and the manager should enforce it! I won't be back! read more

I've been past this place many times and never stopped. I ordered the 3 meat omelet meal with grits and hash browns, toast and two pancakes. A little much but I wanted to sample. EVERYTHING was good! Didn't have room for the pancakes but did try a piece of one and they were good too. Friendly staff, reasonably priced and a good selection. Will be returning. read more

Amazing, homey, country breakfast and lunch joint. We found it on the way back North from Myrtle Beach. It's a little off I-95, but also worth it. Everyone was amazingly nice and the food was delicious. Pancakes are big, fluffy, and flavorful. I got the Kathy Special which was honestly a little of everything: small pancake, 1/4 waffle, eggs, bacon, home fries, grits, and a biscuit. All amazing and all for $7.95. Most expensive on the menu. The rest of my group had omelettes and pancakes - all delicious. Get the biscuits, they will not disappoint. Clearly a local joint, but so nice all around. read more

Good food and nice and friendly staff! You can't cook better at home . And if you like to switch or don't want this or that, then just speak up. There are very friendly and want to make it just like you like to eat it read more

Good food, friendly staff and patrons, great atmosphere and affordable prices. Found this place searching Yelp when I realized I had some time to kill between work assignments. Will definitely return. read more

Stopped here for breakfast after visiting friends while on the way to Disney. Our waitress was super friendly and the coffee was hot. We all enjoyed our breakfast - though our son did not care for his ham, I recommend the bacon instead. Biscuits were soft and delicious. We would definitely come back again!! read more

Kathy's Kitchen - Yummy!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Goldsboro, North Carolina

I search Yelp when heading on a road trip and so glad we marked this little gem to check out! Awesome mom/pop joint! We enjoyed a tasty breakfast on the way to Emerald Isle from Holly Springs. The staff was very friendly, service was quick and the restaurant was clean! It had some great choices to mix and match your meal but still simple enough to keep it as a quintessential diner! Great and effective coffee too! read more

Great place to stop and grab a bite to eat. I could not believe this amazing place is tucked away in this beautiful little quaint town. My food was good. I could tell they use good fresh ingredients and they even asked me how I wanted my potatoes, shredded or home fries which amazed me. Usually diners only have one option when it comes to home fries or hash-browns. I would come here again if I was not only passing through and looking for a great place to eat. Nice server and kept my sweet tea full read more

The food was very good and the staff was very friendly! The restaurant was busy but didn't have to wait. The food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! We will definitely go back. read more

Great biscuits! Food was good and the service was outstanding. They are so polite and attentive. Definitely will be back!

First time here and will definitely be back! The wait staff was friendly and food was fast, affordable, and fantastic! Try the Mitchell's Mayhem (a biscuit cut in half, then topped with hash browns, shredded cheese, gravy, and two eggs). A fantastic find in Goldsboro! read more

This place has everything my husband and I love about a good breakfast place: good food, fast, friendly service, reasonable prices, plenty of parking/seating, clean floor/tables/restrooms, and a counter! RIP Kathy; your sisters and your customers honor you and your restaurant legacy, and new customers like us will come back every time we're in Goldsboro! read more

My go-to place for breakfast. Coffee is delicious. Simple, no fuss eatery. Country folks serve with love. Walk in and seat yourself. Very kid friendly. You will see old people, working class, kids, families, single people, young people. read more

Grits were watery. Cheese biscuit and bacon was supreme. The Hashbrown was poorly cooked and small. The waitress was cool. Overall not a great experience, but not bad. read more

Ate here for the first time today for breakfast with my wife. It was packed when we got there around 9:30. But we were able to be seated immediately at the bar. We loved everything about it. The service is great, the food is great, and bottomless coffee cups that always stayed full. We will be back. Props to Emma for the great service. read more

Amazing! We ordered Kathy's special and Mitchell's mayhem and I think Mitchell's was our favorite - we would make a trip back to order that specifically! Love the space and atmosphere. The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Just your typical small diner fare. The service was quick and the server was very nice. She did a great job and seemed to be the only one serving the whole place. The food was good. Not outstanding but what you would expect. I would definitely come back here if in the area. read more

Fantastic down home breakfast spot. The staff is fast and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. The biscuits alone are worth 5 stars along with the other menu items which are solidly made and presented to you with a smile. The only weak spot is the coffee but I'll admit to liking my coffee on the strong side. It would be nice if more places could offer regular or hi-octane. Great little breakfast option to the cookie-cutter world of Waffle House. read more

Food was fair, but lots of little things were off -- not real butter, not real cream for coffee, etc. Also some of the staff were super friendly but others not so much. If you are just passing through town, there are better options elsewhere. read more

Stopped here for Breakfast and had a 3 egg omelette with ham,sausage, cheese,mushrooms and more. It included hash browns, and 2 pieces of toast or a biscuit. All that and coffee for about a little over 8$. The food was Terrific!! Only open for Breakfast and Brunch. read more

Only been here once..... I've been missing out! Love this place! The staff were amazing and the food came out fast!

I absolutely love this place! Breakfast is always made to order and delicious. Amazing customer service I recommend this to anyone and everyone in the goldsboro area :) read more

I truly love this place. The food is great and the staff makes you feel like you are part of the family!

Love this place. The atmosphere is very friendly and family oriented. Everyone there (employees and patrons) are some of the best I have come to know. The food is amazing, but I've only tried breakfast stuff. I get something different every time and have not been let down. They are well suited for children and so very understanding of those needs (understanding of spills, keeping coffee on the other side of the table, making room for high chairs, etc). It's a great experience, if you're in the area give it a shot. read more

What a surprise! The waitress was very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the biscuits were light and fluffy. The prices are great. We will come back! read more

Have eaten breakfast here a few times. It's always good and I always leave full. Coffee cup never gets emptied before it's full again. Very attentive and personable staff. read more

Live in South Florida and come to visit family. We have come to Kathy's Kitchen on multiple occasions. If you want a delicious home style breakfast this is your place. Home style potatoes, link or patty sausages, delicious coffee etc.. The servers give great service with awesome southern hospitality. My wife is Colombian and always ask when we are coming to Kathy's Kitchen. Straight up delicious food at a great price. read more

I came here for a late breakfast. The price is reasonably cheap, under $10 for nearly all menu items. It looks like an old school diner. Overall the food was decent and service pretty fast. For an old style diner with older furniture it looks well maintained. While I enjoyed the service, the pancake and waffle did not taste as good as most batter recipes I am used to. The coffee was also not a good bean roast, not terrible though. For the capacity they had a good ratio of floor staff. Note that you will look for this place in the strip mall. It is a small storefront area near a thrift store, the signage is not too prominent. read more

Hands down our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE place in Goldsboro. Staff makes ya feel like family. Food is fantastic-always!!

Very good good. Great service. Not a fancy place but clean and comfortable! I would definitely recommend.
