Worth the wait!!! I ordered the Bloody Mary, which is now my favorite Bloody Mary ever, wow. I don't even like olives, but the olives and pickle on top were delicious! My husband and I split the Crispy Chick, Breakfast Burrito (with Bain BBQ Brisket - the meat was like butter - YUM), and the BLT. All were better than we could imagine, but we ranked them 1. Chick 2. Burrito 3. BLT. We don't come here often enough and the food hits the spot every single time!!! read more

The food is phenomenal with a lot of the ingredients being locally sourced and I've never had anything I didn't like. They've recently incorporated restaurant-style table service and I couldn't be more happy about that. All the workers are super friendly and always seem eager to help. I've been going to Kinfolk since the coffee shop pop-ups and I couldn't be more proud of what it's become. Definitely try this place out if you haven't already! read more

Great food great service ......................just go! Raise hell praise dale ...........................................................

Good food with unique options. The arugula breakfast bowl was fantastic. I recommend getting on the waitlist ahead of arrival. Expect a forced tip of 20% regardless of party size or quality of service. read more

The chicken biscuit was good. The chicken lacked some seasoning but the biscuit was perfect. Our waitress was great. The ambiance is fine it looks like a television set only thing that's confusing is the book shelves on the wall. How do you grab a book? read more

Food and service was top tier, warm welcoming environment, a great place for brunch. This made it on the list!

Very tasty biscuits! The place is small so it fills up quickly. Friendly staff; great brunch spot!

okay... I've heard good things, but the food and service was AMAZING! The biscuits were delicious and my friend loved the kids MVP! They have a little patio and it was such a fun atmosphere for breakfast downtown. Definitely recommend! read more

Kinfolk - Kid's MVP with chicken as protein and bacon egg & cheese biscuit with a side hash brown - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Let's start off with stating that their website states they open at 6, but they do not. They open at 7. We were the first customers of the day. When my wife and I arrived stated they had no open tables because they were all reserved despite the restaurant being completely empty. The reservation portal on their website is non-functional. We were told we could sit at the bar. I'm sure we looked confused... but then we were told that there was one table open. I'm not sure why we weren't offered that first. The pancakes had good flavor but were way too sweet. The biscuits had a strong rosemary flavor which I liked but didn't work in the chicken biscuit. The flavors seemed very haphazard. Also, they use chicken thighs for their chicken biscuit which was way more weird than I would have expected. The hash browns have to be a joke. Pressed potato patty for $4? Overall decor was nice and service was fine. Way over priced for what you get and 100% not a "diner feel." read more

Can't get enough of this place. These are three different trips and all of them were perfect. Their breakfast is always the same and SO delicious. Ambiance is an old school laid back vibe. The chicken Caesar wrap had mandarin oranges and was a game changer, best new Memphis restaurant! read more

My girlfriend and I have visited Kinfolk several times. The ambience is great, styled after old waffle house diner. The food was incredible-- we have gravitated to the chicken biscuit and breakfast burrito but have tried most everything on the menu. The team at Kinfolk is one of the most caring, thoughtful, and hardworking teams around. They care about their product and it shows in every bite! Run, don't walk, to Kinfolk! read more

Food was fantastic, service was great, I would definitely recommend coming earlier if you want to try something, they were out of one thing we wanted to try (more reason to come back :) haha). The ambiance was that of an old diner and I loved it. Very quaint and fun. I had the breaky bowl and my husband had the breakfast burrito with fried chicken. Both items were a 10/10! Price is a little higher than a regular breakfast place BUT it's a small business and with that comes better quality food. So it's definitely worth the extra! We will definitely be back again. I do also recommend making a reservation on their website so you get a seat when you come. We came on the weekend at 1pm and it was quite busy. read more

I will fully admit that I'm not usually a breakfast/brunch person but Kinfolk may have changed that for me. We got the tasso ham, egg & cheese on their bun and wow. It was seriously one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Biscuits and sausage are insanely delicious. We'll definitely be going back and trying the rest of the menu. read more

Great food here. Great service and atmosphere. We did have issues with our reservation but it was rectified quickly. I had the grits, which were great. The only critique was that I didn't get oyster mushrooms, they were baby bella. Still delicious. The sausage biscuit was great. My fiancé had biscuits and gravy which was delicious as well. I would certainly go back. read more

Best biscuit ever. Hands down. This is the newest gem of Memphis placed in much needed oasis just a short walk from downtown. The staff is amazing - telling of the owners desire that their customers are consistently taken care of well. You won't be disappointed and you'll tell your friends to join you next time. read more

This place is so good, y'all! We walked in and asked the lady for her recommendations. I actually forgot what she said because one of the chefs popped his head out to recommend the oatmeal. I would never normally order oatmeal in a restaurant cause blah but this oatmeal was SO good. My friend got the MVP which was delicious. The chicken, the grits, the griddle cake, the biscuit, all fabulous. And the decor is just adorable. Highly recommend the new spot. read more

Service was decent but the food wasn't great. I ordered the 2 egg plate. The eggs were okay but it's hard to mess up eggs. The bacon was burnt. The biscuits were DRY. The potatoes were decent. The pancakes, nasty. Not really worth it. read more

Highly recommend for a great little breakfast/brunch spot in Memphis. Definitely consider a reservation on the weekend if you have a bigger party! I love that they source from local farms and the food is great quality. Absolutely love the breakfast burrito! The oatmeal was absolutely delicious but is definitely decadent, and I couldn't finish the whole bowl. read more

Kinfolk - Breakfast burrito and oatmeal - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

So.much.potential. We had some great food when Kinfolk was at Hog & Hominy (particularly the cinnamon toast and the banana pudding tiramisu), so when Kinfolk opened we were excited to go. First the good: biscuit, pecan pie spread, cook on the eggs, and the ideas. Unfortunately everything we ordered (other than the biscuit) was deeply out of balance. Too much salt. Too much fat. Too sweet. Even hours and liters of water later, we are still feeling the salt. My partner said she would prefer a Cracker Barrel, but I want the creativity and quality of Kinfolk once they find that missing balance. read more

Delicious food, outstanding service! The Griddle Cake is to die for and the breakfast Burrito is one of the best I've ever had. Charming location on Harbor Town-it will be fun to come back on a nice day and sit outside. Only complaint...need to accept cash for payment or at least put it on the website that you are a cashless business. read more

First time to Kinfolk and we won't return. I had such high hopes for this place after reading so many reviews, but it was a disappointment. We had a reservation at the top of the hour and we weren't seated for 20 minutes. Then, it took another 35 minutes for our meals to come out. Very slow service. The food was ok, but not enough to justify the slow service from start to end, including requesting the check twice. read more

Very average food and very overpriced. Hash brown were frozen just like McDonalds. Biscuit and gravy had an overly sweet biscuit with gravy on top. We wanted to give this place a chance - will NOT be back! read more

Service was very friendly and attentive. The food there is honestly great for the price if you enjoy southern style breakfast! The chicken was amazing so I'd recommend that. I will be returning for more! read more

Food was great! They do have some staffing and time problems. It can get kinda long and it would be really nice to have an outdoor ordering device for togo orders. It gets extremely crowded in their entry way. read more

Walked in a little after 8 am on a Sunday after making the trek down there. Was so excited to finally try! We checked the waitlist on the entire drive down just to make sure we would be able to eat there-it continued to say 0 mins upon arriving, we were "greeted" at the front by a very rude hostess who then told us it would be "at least 45 minutes" for our party of 3. Confused, because no one else was waiting & there was no a waitlist online, she told me they had reservations all day so we would have to wait. Taking reservations when you have a total of probably 10 tables accompanied by a rude hostess is only going to steer walk ins away. The food looks amazing, but we probably won't be returning. read more

Chef Cole is a wonderful and talented chef local to Memphis, TN. He is SUPER well known by the city of Memphis as not only a top notch chef, but also a great human being that is kind and humble to everyone around him. He cares deeply to share his work of cooking food and sharing stories about the background to how he was inspired. Kinfolk began as a pop up that quickly grew in recognition. After a long wait, many were happy that the restaurant finally opened up. The menu is vast. The staff are great and friendly. The atmosphere is soothing and diner like. Obviously the food is great and all of the ingredients are sourced premium. Chef Cole too works in his own establishment which makes me see how passionate he is to be not just a business owner, but also a team member and leader. My friends and I brag about his food, his restaurant, him, and everything that is attached to him. Parking is accessible. You do have to book a reservation on the weekends, however you may be able to get in still. I am very impressed with kinfolk and will continue to show my loyalty as a customer. read more

Best breakfast in Memphis hands down. I'm pretty picky in preferring fresh ingredients, homemade dishes, high quality foods and Kinfolk is 10/10 Everything on the menu is fabulous and you can tell they put so much thought into every little detail/bite. Location is great, staff is always friendly, price is very reasonable. Will be a returning customer for as long as we're in TN! read more

Amazing food and a crisp cool atmosphere. The merch at the front was a nice touch. It was made up of styles folks will actually wear.

Kinfolk - Chicken biscuit w/ egg and cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I love this place for breakfast but my god the prices are out of control. On the menu the breakfast burrito is advertised as 11.25. In the description it includes protein, but they add THREE DOLLARS to add a protein. Then they have a 15% gratuity for to go orders. Like i'm sorry but a breakfast burrito for 18 dollars after thinking I was spending 11.25 is absurd. I understand this is a small business but be real. read more

Best breakfast in town. The chicken is the best, the griddle cakes are awesome. It's worth the drive and the money

Food is overpriced, dry, and just out right gross. Need to work on their menu and pricing. 5$ for orange juice is hilarious
