Went here for lunch the other day, such a fun little place! Food was amazing, service was so great, they even gave us a free cookie after our meal! We had a clubhouse sandwich and fries which were both amazing, we also got a patty melt which my husband gobbled down. This place is just good home town cooking with great food and wonderful service! We will definitely be back! read more

I've been going to The Kettle for years and it never disappoints! The staff are all very friendly and my meals are always delicious.

We've lived in Enumclaw 16 years and have heard about how Great the Kettle is. My Husband and I finally decided to have breakfast there. I was firstly shocked at how expensive everything was. The service was just okay. We'd never been there before and as soon as we opened the door the waitress/server said from about 10 feet away 'Sit Anywhere' like we interrupted her. We got our food in a timely manner. I was surprised that both myself and my husband were not saying it yet, but immediately neither of us liked our dishes.....at all!! We are not picky eaters, and rarely get the chance to go out; so we were looking forward to it. I felt bad that we'd spend nearly $60 on two breakfast's and 2 plain coffees nothing else. Sometimes a place is pricey because of where it's at (like on Alki Beach) or the space needle. But the ambiance of this place was a diner from the 70's. it's wasn't warm or friendly, the food wasn't good, and it was overpriced. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

I had high expectations because traditional American restaurants in small towns tend to be very good. The portions were enormous, as expected, and I got a whole order planning to take some home for lunches. As it was Sunday, they were serving breakfast all day, and I ordered the corned beef with potatoes New York style. Everything was good, but... it really should have been billed as breakfast potatoes with a sprinkling of corned beef. It was about 80% potatoes and 20% corned beef. Not at all what I was expecting based on the menu description. The service was terrific and the food arrived pretty quickly even though they were very busy. read more

The portions are anything but small! You want quality food your in lunch. The scramble / full Size is big enough gift 3-4 people. This is served from a huge bowl packed full of yummy goodness. If your in town stop by, you will not be sorry! read more

We came here for breakfast for my daughters birthday and had a great time . Big portions and the food was pretty darn good

Came here for breakfast on a busy Sunday morning but was able to get a seat right away. I ordered the #82, choice of French toast or waffles, comes with 2 eggs and two pieces of bacon. French toast was a perfect balance of fluffy and crispy. The bacon was big and perfectly crispy and tasty! I was gonna order a side of hash browns but the server suggested I can have some of my bf's and if I wanted more she would bring me some. Thank goodness she said that because he had a lot of hash browns that I was able to eat some and save myself $3.50. In summary, friendly service and good breakfast food read more

The owner and staff are real salt of the earth people. Good food, huge portions and prompt coffee refills. If you are looking for great breakfast and diner food this is the spot. If you are looking for avocado toast with mascarpone and a perfectly poached egg atop artisan bread, please look elsewhere and spare us your negative reviews. read more

This is one of our favorite breakfast places! The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and food the food is delicious! They even give you warm muffins while you wait! Great spot for early risers or those headed to the mountain or over the passes Give it a try if you are in the area read more

Lots of food on the plate! Yummy and friendly staff, the owner gives military food on the house and super kid friendly. Loved the fresh warm muffins! Only thing I would complain about is that they refilled my coffee without asking if I wanted more coffee, which I didn't, but it means they were always making sure we were happy and taken care of :) read more

I had the original enumclaw scramble and it was amazing! Omg this plate was a MOUNTAIN of potatoes, eggs, sausage, and cheese. And if that wasn't enough, it came with a warm cinnamon muffin. I don't have to eat for another three days. The service was also great, all of the ladies were lovely! I will definitely come back here. read more

Hands down best muffin I've had in my life! Don't hesitate to try this place, it's delicious!!! read more

We'll definitely be back! read more

The Kettle - Chicken fried steak and hillbilly half order. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

This place is a perfect breakfast spot for the family! The portions are huge (for the scrambles at least) so be sure to know that going in and order the 1/2 order!!! I did not and ended up eating my breakfast again for dinner and STILL had a ton left! They have the best little homemade muffins that are served when you order a scramble and when we were there, the server walked around handing out cookies they had made (for free). The place was cute and had little pig figurines littered throughout and the only downside to my experience was my own children not behaving while I was there. You can tell that this place has a lot of "regulars" and that is for good reason. Food was more than reasonably priced and it was good so that is pretty hard to beat. We will definitely be frequenting this establishment as we are going to be living in the area for the foreseeable future and want to have a go-to breakfast spot! read more

1st time eating here. NOT disappointed. Fast, friendly service. Huge portions, great prices & delicious food!! Forgot to specify 1/2order on the Scramble- got 3 meals off of it. Will definitely be back read more

One of the first places we ate at after moving to Enumclaw. It didn't disappoint! The hostess brought around homemade cookies for us before we even got our food. They were delicious! The actual food servings are huge so there's always a need for to-go boxes. I ordered a scramble. Delish! The people were all very kind and accommodating to us with a baby. This is the perfect place to go to when you need that late breakfast because you are starving. Give it a try! read more

Out of the way from most of the sound, but more than worth the trip. I've been here a few times now, 30 mins from my home in Auburn and they just nail everything right on the head. The pre-meal muffins, cinnamon spice especially, are packed with flavor and deliciousness. The chicken fried steak is among the best I've had anywhere. You can just tell that everything is homemade and made well. The staff are on point with tending to everyone and they complete the experience. Bravo! Now if I could just get my dad to make the 90 min trek out here. read more

5 stars for the muffins. 3 stars for the rest of the food. We stopped in here on our way to Mt Rainer for some hiking. Since I was hungover, I knew I needed something with gravy. Gravy makes everything better. We started with one each of the kettle muffins, the cinnamon and the blueberry. Both were seriously fantastic, but if I had to choose a favorite, I'd go with the blueberry. This place is definitely known for the quantity of food. I don't really know how they make money. I had a ham/egg/cheese sandwich on sourdough and a side of hash-browns covered in gravy. Both were good, but there was so much food I could only eat half. All of that for only $9. The boy had some biscuits and gravy, which were covered in bacon and cheese!!!! The food is fine, good enough that if I was in the area again I would go back. If nothing else though, go for some muffins. read more

Friendly service, Steffanie is by far our favorite waitress, she's always happy to be there, loves her customers and makes sure everyone feels welcome. Portion sizes are huge! You will leave with leftovers! We love the scrambles and the pancakes are the size of a dinner plate. One of our favorite breakfast spots in enumclaw. read more

Hometown diners are my favorite. Even if the food is hit or miss this place is special just because of the customer service. Portions here are large, huge, humongous. I split a dish with someone and still only managed to eat half of my plate. The blue berry muffin was absolutely delicious, nice and fresh out of the tin. I would say besides the muffins my favorite part of the experience was how friendly our waitress was. Prices are reasonable and fair. This place gets busy so get their early or be prepared to wait. Enjoy! read more

I like small towns, small town diners, but don't think this one measures up. I made the trip out to Enumclaw for this breakfast place that everyone raves about. I have been making the breakfast rounds lately, and I am big breakfast guy. Nothing makes me happier than a big plate of eggy, cheesy hash. This place did not meet my expectations. Let me start with a positive: before our meal, they brought out some wonderful, warm, light, fluffy, blueberry muffins. This is how I like my muffins, more like bread than a muffin, not oily, not heavy. I had ordered the Corned Beef Hash. The first red flag was when it came out of the kitchen 10 minutes after I ordered it. When it came, I had about 2lbs of potatoes with a sprinkling of corned beef and other vegetables topped with three fried eggs. All the parts of the hash were distinctly separate. It was almost as if they took precooked ingredients, tossed them in a bowl, and threw them on my plate. I didn't feel like I was eating corned beef hash, just corned beef and potatoes. None of the flavors meshed. My buddy had a bacon and egg scramble; it was much better. However, the cheese on the top of his scramble was not melted. This place was not bad, it was just not good. The people are great, the service is great, the food is decent. . . just not something to drive to Enumclaw for. There are better diner's nearby in Sumner or Auburn. read more

I love everything about this place! Food is awesome, waitresses are the SWEETEST, and the decor is just beautifully hilarious. The owner has a small obsession with pigs... This is homestyle country food. Not some fancy schmancy organic Seattle shit. They do what they do great. It's Enumclaw. Get over it. If you're in the area it's a great place to stop, but don't drive all the way here from "civilization" expecting something gourmet. read more

Greasy Spoon! We hit up the Kettle before driving up into the mountains for our Christmas tree. I was in the mood for some comfort food, and we spotted The Kettle down a lonely street in Enumclaw (and got a recommendation from the Ranger Station). We knew it must be good based on the amount of cars (well, mostly trucks) outside. Score! This is where the locals go! I was a little worried that we would have to wait, but my ruggedly handsome tree chopping boyfriend talked me into going. Not to worry though, they pack 'em in! We were seated right away by the friendliest waitress in... the whole world, I'm pretty sure! The boyfriend had an enormous scramble. We're talking HUGE! I think it weighed 5 pounds, with at least a pound of cheese on top. The scramble came with a freshly baked Cinnamon muffin... Mmmm.... I helped him polish that off. I had a grilled cheese sandwich with roast beef. Grilled cheese perfection! Buttery (but not too buttery) bread, just the right amount of cheese and the roast beef was really good. I had a cup of "leftover spaghetti" soup which was actually really good. The nicest waitress in the world even refilled my cup of soup for free! We walked out of The Kettle with lots of leftovers and plenty of energy for our quest for the perfect Christmas tree. The meal only set me back $22 plus tip. read more

The owner Dennis has owned the Kettle for years. It has moved around a bit but it has great muffins that are made every morning and the food portions are huge (get a half order first). One of my fondest memories about the kettle is Dennis making my first Mickey Mouse pancake. They still make them today. It's like walking into Cheers its always the same faces Debbie, Shawna, Dennis, Enumclaw Policce and Fire Dept. Its just a wonderful place. read more

I must be the only person that has ever eaten here and thinks the food is just meh. It's true that the portions are large and hearty. It's also true that the food is good, but I've certainly had better breakfasts elsewhere. The ambiance is charming but service can be a bit backlogged at times. It's ok, but not at the top of my list of go to restaurants. read more

Are you serious? I guess when you live in the country, any hot mess passes as a meal. The reason this place is such a secret is probably because anyone that drives here from Civilization chalks up this overrated fare as a local favorite. Much like The Sunbreak Café in Auburn, this is just a hot steamy mess of slop. Eggs are overcooked, potatoes are not crisp and in the end it taste like someone cleaned up the grill by scraping it on your plate! Both my girlfriend and I were thoroughly disappointed with the meal. She was however half out of her mind over the muffins. They did smell amazingly fresh, but not being a muffin man, at least that kind, I didn't have one. See that, she loved the muffins and not the meal, our server was kind enough to send us away with a half dozen muffins on the house do to our lack of satisfaction with the meal. Normally I encourage people to try bad places so they can see for themselves how over-inflated the ratings are, but in this case I am warning you that the food is not worth the long drive to "The Claw". read more

Greasy spoon. Limited menu. Service was very friendly and prompt. The food was uninspired, generic, and low grade. The scramble basically had one note, potato with a side of cheese. It didn't matter if you ordered it vegetarian, a little meaty, or meat lover. Same bulk filler and flavor for everything. It is a charming place, a throw back to a different era. In some ways that's charming and could be nice...I just wish the food could have been better, fresher, more produce, more distinct flavors and textures, it was too bland to even chock up to comfort food. read more

There was literally enough food on my plate to feed a horse. Horse.......Enumclaw........horse.... read more

Been to this place a couple times now & can vouch for the truly huge breakfast servings! My wife & I split a "scrambler" for breakfast & I still had enough for lunch later that afternoon. I am afraid that some "trickery" is going on with the ingredients of said mountain of food for roughly $11-$12. That being it is probably 2 pounds of potatoes, literally, with barely enough egg content to be visible & maybe 2-4 ounces of whatever other ingredients you thought you were ordering in your "scrambler". So they buy 100's of lbs. of potatoes, probably for 25 cents/lb, throw in another 25-50 cents of ingredients & then hit me up for $11! Not what I would call value under any circumstances; i. e. 2 lbs of potatoes & a spoonful of other ingredients is just a rip-off that people seem to continue to overlook, just because it is big & they get two meals from it.... Even the muffins seemed to drop off in quality the second trip. Not sure I will ever return, but if I do, I won't be ordering 2 lbs. of potatoes next time, I mean a "scrambler"! read more

DO NOT miss the homemade muffins at the kettle. Both blueberry and cinnamon are worth the visit. Portions are more than generous. Staff is friendly. Can feel a little close at times, but worth the elbow to elbow dining! read more

I love bacon. I once tried to give up pork products, but dammit I just love bacon too much. The Kettle is not known for its bacon, but this does not stop me from ordering a veggie omelet with bacon. Best known for its hashes- piles of potato goodness covered in cheese makes me say, 'my-oh-my!" I instantly start to feel my hangover lighten, and as soon as a delicious homemade muffin comes my way, I start to forget how close the tables next to me are. I breathe deep and my food is in front of me. Hot, eggy and delicious. And thank goodness I only ordered a half-plate. I am not rushed and affectionately referred to as sweetheart and darling. I start to smile. I know it is going to be a good day; bacon, veggies, muffins and all. read more

It is with dissapointment I write this review. While I read the reviews on Yelp, I do not rely on them. There are many critical reviews of this cafe and many are spot on. First, this place is a very friendly welcoming environment, the staff are very nice. Second (almost even first), the biscuits are REALLY good. Third, and unfortunately from there it gets mediocre. The eggs are over cooked. The coffee is OK/good, and according to my fiance the waffles are good. I myself was not pleased with my meal. I went with the meatlover's scrammble. Now when I see the word "love" my expectations are high, this must be one of their flagship options, right? And given the portion size, you would expect it to be something they are very proud of, such as to be put on display. My expectations were not in anyway met. This is a very bland meal. It is difficult to tell the difference between the potato, egg, or sausage. They all looked the same, tasted the same, and had the same texture. The bacon was hard to find and appeared to be the bits one would put over a salad. My fiance felt sorry for me and let me have a peice of hers. At one point I described it as having the consistency of a breakfast casserole. Problem is I have had much better breakfast casseroles as office potlucks. This scramble needs more bacon, sausage with more flavor and more eggs then potato to even be called a scramble. read more
