This was my first time here, and Cass, our server, was fantastic! The food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a friendly vibe.

Rhonda you are an angel. That was the best breakfast I've had in a while! I had the California Benedict with extra crispy !

Hidden in an unexpected area (next to the livestock auction) is Kenny's Kitchen. They took over the building from what was formerly known as the Branding Iron. We wandered in here around 11:30am on a Monday morning and were very surprised to see how busy this place was! It looked like the crowd you would expect on a weekend. That's when we had a feeling the food is probably pretty good... we were sat at the bar top because there were no open tables. Yes, on a Monday. The portions are super generous, and everyone seemed to really enjoy their food. I ordered the Country fried steak and eggs (held the potatoes and toast because I can't cheat THAT much) and the portions were massive. They served me 3 eggs, a steak double the size I expected and a heaping load of gravy. And it was so yummy! Overall a really solid breakfast/lunch place that's worth checking out if you're ever hanging out in or driving through the Cottonwood area. Definitely recommend!

Great find on Yelp. Right off the freeway. Seems to be the popular local diner full of people at 11:30am on a Sunday. My BBQ trip tip sandwich had melted cheese. I enjoyed the onion rings on the side along super big perfect sweet potato fries. My husband's club sandwich was huge filled with Turkey and ham. His regular fries were nice and crispy too. Service was nice and prompt.

This place has amazing food! Located at the Shasta Livestock center. I had the Tri-Tip dip and it was probably the best I've ever had!! Service was great and the overall vibe of this place is down to earth local rancher folks! If you're in Cottonwood you MUST try Kenny's Kitchen!

I asked her my ESA dogs lunch inside with me,  and she said okay if service dogs and must under the table and leashed on

Beni's California Cuisine - Birria sandwich w/ cucumber tomato salad

I am a huge fan of Beni's and have never been let down - every visit is an absolute delight. The…read morefood is consistently fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and completely delicious. As a family-owned business, they are truly making a name for themselves. The entire family is sweet, friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They are always smiling and happy to chat, which makes the whole dining experience a pleasure. You can't go wrong with their seafood ravioli (my favorite dish), garlic bread, blackened salmon, French toast, or the tri-tip sandwich. Surprisingly, the simple standout is their house salad. It is to die for! It features fresh spring mix, carrots, cucumbers, and candied nuts, all tossed in a phenomenal homemade honey miso ginger dressing. A wonderful spot with top-tier food and even better hospitality.

I wrote a review for Beni's about a year ago, and after coming back for lunch with my family, I…read morefigured it was time for an update. First, the important stuff: we shared the seafood ravioli and the seafood risotto. The ravioli was delicious, but that risotto... man. The seafood risotto is still my wife's and my favorite thing on the menu. Every time we come back, we end up talking ourselves into getting it again, and every time we're glad we did. But what really stood out to me this time is how much Beni's has grown. They've expanded into a little back room, and I really like what they've done with it. It has this cozy, almost coffee-shop kind of feel that makes the restaurant feel bigger without losing that comfortable, personal atmosphere. There's also now patio seating out front, with a couple of little toys for the kids. Those little touches make a difference when you're eating there with your family. And I have to give a shout-out to something I never thought I'd be excited to write about in a restaurant review: The cubed ice is gone. They've upgraded to the good restaurant ice - you know exactly what I mean. The kind everybody actually wants. They're continuing to make improvements, too. There's a soda machine coming soon and more interior upgrades on the way. You can really see Beni and Mistee's vision starting to take shape, and it's pretty cool to watch. I also got a little peek inside the kitchen this time, and honestly, I don't know how Beni does what he does in that space. The kitchen is small. Really small. And yet somehow he's putting out food like the seafood risotto and ravioli that comes out of there. Watching him work with that limited space made me appreciate the food even more. There's something almost magical about seeing how much he manages to accomplish with what he has. It reminded me that great food isn't always coming out of some massive restaurant kitchen with a dozen people running around. Sometimes it's just a talented person making it happen. A year ago, I called Beni a culinary rockstar. I still stand by that. The difference now is that you can actually see the dream growing around him. Beni and Mistee are slowly turning this place into what they've envisioned, and it's been pretty cool to watch that happen. The food is great, the atmosphere keeps getting better, and there's a genuine feeling that they're building something they're proud of. We'll definitely be back. And yes... we'll be ordering the risotto again.

We decided to go in for dinner last Saturday night about an hour before closing. It was a steady pace, not busy. I ordered a Steak Sandwich just because I always order a French Dip wherever we go and since it was a Saturday night, I went WILD ! It came quickly and looked delicious. The fries were hot and the grease they were fried in was recently changed. The roll was buttered and with crispy edges. The lettuce was crisp and the tomato and pickle very fresh. I was all set for a delicious steak sandwich and hot fries. I was so DISAPPOINTED . I could not chew through the piece of meat. By this time the restaurant was wrapping things up and customers headed to the door. I ate the fries and tomatoes and took the other half of the sandwich home so my husband would have a midnight snack. The other half can't possibly be as bad. WRONG ! It really was. The entire " steak" was inedible. $23 and all I could eat was the fries. I also asked for AuJus to dip my sandwich in and boy, even that wouldn't have helped. A vat of battery acid may not have done it either. Will we come back to M&M ? Absolutely! The waitress was wonderful and for the most part the food was too. I should have brought the steak to the attention of the staff but I didn't. I just wanted to go home. Any restaurant could have had the same issue. Although I do think the cook should have noticed the fat in the steak when putting the sandwich together. Great place with really good food and a honey clean environment in which to eat it.

The location, although different, is an easy jump off the interstate with ample free parking. Closer than you think. We plan on returning for their brunch menu soon.

Located in the Placer Heights Plaza, next to Starbucks. Same plaza as Holiday Market and CVS Pharmacy. We were seated immediately as they were not busy. The menu was a bit different than online. Our server came to take our order. He didn't introduce himself and seemed like he didn't want to be there. We decided on the fried green tomatoes, fried chicken sandwich and catfish po' boy. When the po' boy came out, we thought it was burnt! We didn't know the catfish will be blackened by default. We thought it will be fried since it is a po' boy. The options can be blackened or fried based on the menu online. We were not given those options by our server. They brought out the food but didnt provide utensils until minutes later. Fried green tomatoes: It was good. Fried perfectly. The dressing that was tossed with the side salad was super salty. Catfish po' boy: Fish was tender but super salty as well. Fried chicken sandwich: Pretty good sandwich. Chicken was huge. The fries was so soggy, not crispy at all. Also very greasy. We were a bit disappointed as we drove out of our way to try this place.
