Nothing fancy or pretentious here. I had the Pot Roast with mashed potatoes and Cole Slaw. The pot roast was fork tender and pretty good. Mashed potatoes were decent and I really liked the Cole slaw. Their Cole slaw is the 'creamy' style. The cabbage is cut very finely. I did enjoy it. My wife had the breaded tenderloin sandwich with fries. She proclaimed the Tenderloin the best she's had. Crispy outside, tender inside. She ordered her fries crispy but they were served flabby. This is one of the few restaurants that prices are still reasonable. Meal and drinks (tea) average $12 a person. Service was excellent. We are looking forward to returning and both ordering the Tenderloin sandwich.

Talked it up with several guests and a couple paid for our meals ahead of us. I had the grilled chicken salad, my partner had the all you can eat Buffett. Tried to get some of that amazing pineapple upside down cake to go, so we could take care of our waitress with the cool dimple piercings and ink, and she wouldn't let us pay for anything. Never have I felt such gratitude from beautiful strangers as I have just now. From a former servicemen and his wife, to the owner and other patrons. We were humbled and appreciative of the great experience we had at the Little Red Kitchen. Please, keep doing what you're doing. I will definitely come back any time I am in the area. Looking forward to it!

Utensils were brought out in a little plastic bag. 3) some of the foods we ordered were good. 4) waitress was very nice and professional. She refilled our drinks without us having to ask. She checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. 5) one bathroom. Clean and smelled cleaned. 6) waitress provided to-go boxes and a bag for us. 7) everyone was very friendly here. 8) water tasted good here. No metal or funky taste. Cons: 1) the gravy was a bit too thick for the bread. 2) Mac and Cheese was more mac and not enough cheese. Lol. That's what I was told by my little one. Conclusion: Cute little family owned restaurant. I liked it. Server was very nice. Foods pretty good. Plenty of parking when we arrived for lunch.

They didn't have much flavor besides onion and then the mashed potatoes and gravy were fine except for I think the mashed potatoes were instant I could be wrong.. and the slaw looked good.

I'm a sucker for diners and this hit all my needs, coffee, eggs, potatoes and crispy bacon. The menu has all day breakfast, and lunch options. Prices are super reasonable and the staff was so friendly - I'm sure they generally know everyone so it was a nice atmosphere. You seat yourself, a server will grab your order and the food came out very fast. Eggs were flavorful and the bacon was crispy and not soggy(and I didnt ask for extra crispy this time).

When we pulled up, the outside looked a little quiet and honestly the whole town felt kind of abandoned. But the second you open the door -- totally different story. The place was full of life: music playing, kind faces everywhere, and the smell of amazing food. We started with deviled eggs for an appetizer. My dad ordered the ribs with carrot salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. I got the pulled pork with greens, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. The food was out of this world. The ribs? They understood the assignment and got extra credit. The meat literally fell right off the bone & perfectly seasoned. I definitely stole a few from my dad's plate. The pulled pork was incredible too -- super tender with no gristle, which I loved. And the sides... oh my gosh. My personal favorites were the mac & cheese, greens, and the baked beans. We finished with the apple crisp for dessert -- so good and easily enough for two people. And the best part? Everything is made fresh. We don't live in the area, but I already can't wait to go back.

I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

The atmosphere is super cozy and we felt welcomed from our first steps in. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we met Michaela who took fabulous care of us for the evening! We settled in to a couple of their specialty cocktails (midwinters night dream and cardamaro manhattans - yummy I'll say) and the Brussel Sprout starter. Let me say to come hungry because the portions are large but yummy. The sprouts are a meal all by themselves! But there's more! I had the porcini rubbed filet and Teresa had the cabbage confit. Both portions were sizable and while I know she loved her cabbage, I was in heaven with a perfectly prepared filet that just melted in my mouth. Plus the asparagus spears and the Okinawa sweet potato mash were perfect accompaniment! Sadly, there was so much goodness we ended up bringing some home and we'll have to come back for dessert and another menu sampling. All in all a very memorable experience and a great place for a birthday dinner! But we'll be back just because! Special closing shout out to Michaela for taking such great care of us.
