Great place for breakfast. Best muffins ever. Great customer service and staff. Highly recommend.

Old wore out diner. Steam clean the whole place. The entryway is crowded with shelves of old kickbacks and dead plants. It's crowded everywhere. It's hometown. But very worn out read more

This little café is amazing. Great service and I received so much food. I have so much food to bring home. Great customer service. This was my first time here, and I will definitely come here again. There homemade muffins are so yummy. I ordered the cinnamon one. read more

It is a wonderful place to eat! Most of their staff is friendly and helpful! They changed the potatoes, much better! Not overcooked at all. Their muffins are good, love the cinnamon in them ... but they are from a mix. My guess is Krusteas. The blueberries aren't flavorful. But that did not stop me from eating them! I do love this place! read more

The good...Food was plentiful, very tasty, huge portions even the half sizes. We took half of the food home. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked as requested. (Soft) The not so good...server was pleasant but apparently didn't listen to our requests for no mushrooms and substitute jalapeños.She put add mushrooms instead on the ticket. We ordered sourdough toast (twice) which did not arrive until we asked another server for the toast. Asked for water twice. Cute, small restaurant . Seemed to be clean. Would probably return to try food again if in the area. read more

A hole in the wall deserving five stars? Yes. This is one of those special places that you will want to visit time and time again. In fact, I had breakfast there on two consecutive days on the way to a hike. Both times, the owner was the guy who served me and my date. Needless to say, service was stellar. The first time, I ordered an omelette. I can't remember which one it was, but it had lots of different veggies in it. It was very good. The potatoes that accompanied it were even better. But the highlight was the blueberry muffin that came before the meal. I don't know who makes those muffins, but they deserve a great big hug! That was pretty much the best muffin I've ever had in my life. The second time we went, I ordered one of the scrambles. It was as good as the omelette. This time, the muffin was mixed berry and was as good as the first one. On both occasions, I could not eat more than half of my meal, so I ended up giving the rest of it to some homeless folks who were hanging out nearby. I hate wasting food. Next time, I'm hoping to have lunch at this place. Absolutely amazing! read more

The Kettle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

Majority of the dishes come with generous portions! The staff here is all very friendly and checked in on our table often enough to make sure we had all we need. If you're thinking about ordering the chicken fried steak, know that it's enough to split with another person. The dish also comes with potatoes and a side of muffin. Since we were sharing the dish, the waitress mentioned we get 2 muffins which was a nice surprise. We opted for one of each flavor that day: blueberry and cinnamon. The blueberry was my favorite! The chicken fried steak itself was good but the breading wasn't as crisp as some other chicken fried steak I've had at other places. Eggs over easy were cooked nicely. It's a quaint diner and I wouldn't mind stopping by the next time I'm looking for a place to grab breakfast after a hike at Mt. Rainier. read more

I love coming here when I'm in ENUMCLAW WA. I love the Inside detail of The Kettle. They have old pot belly wood stoves and it's Always warm and cozy inside with really cool pictures on the wall and cool interior decorations. Now onto the food! The food they serve here is so good! It's like that one place you find that you can't find anywhere else. It always stands out In your mind when you're hungry. I order the chicken fried steak with gravy and fries or the breakfast burrito potato bacon and egg with gravy or the bacon cheese burger with fries , I love their soda here it just taste different. Definitely give this place a try you will Enjoy it! read more

Best scramble ever! Seriously, you have to get the scramble here. The portions are huge, so you'll have two meals or more in one, but most importantly, the food is delicious! While in Enumclaw for a few meetings, I visited The Kettle for lunch. At this time during COVID-19, they are offering takeout. There are menus right at the front table when you walk inside and you order at the counter. I knew I wanted the scramble after reading so many glowing reviews of it, and it did not disappoint. They have a handful of different scrambles to choose from; I went with the Buckley scramble, which included bacon, potatoes, eggs and cheese and asked for no onions, which it normally includes. With the scramble, you get a side muffin, so had the blueberry muffin with. I also LOVE gravy, so ordered a side of the gravy to go with my scramble. It took only 15 minutes or so for the food to be ready. When I was gathering my bag of food to go, the owner busted out a tray of takeout cookies that they make in-house for free! Can you believe that? Amazing. A scramble, gravy, muffin and a cookie. I was happy. I took my food over to a park nearby. There's no outdoor seating around The Kettle. The scramble was awesome! It was massive as others have indicated on here, so actually made three meals of it. The bacon was good with the chunks of potato and egg throughout the whole meal, and topped off with gravy was even better! Ya gotta try it. The blueberry muffin was also good, as it was moist, including the lower half of the muffin that no one likes to eat! And who doesn't like a free cookie/dessert? I would love to come back sometime and dine in. The Kettle seems like a lovely locals spot where the owners know your name. Loved how friendly the service was! And breakfast here is for champions! read more

What a great breakfast restaurant! After hiking The Fremont Lookout, The Kettle popped up as the only place opened that would fit a large group. The service was amazing and all of the servers were very friendly! I ordered the chicken fried steak and it came with 2 muffins since I was sharing. The muffins tasted so good and they were so fresh. The chicken fried steak was alright, I preferred it to be a bit more batter and fried. The chicken fried steak plate was big enough to feed 2 people! Overall, the portions are huge and the service is amazing! If you're hungry before or after Mt Rainier, definitely come by here! read more

Most of the food was good but i am not sure what they did to the french fries. The hashbrowns were c Potato cubes. I asked the waittress where the hashbrowns were, she said he they call those home fries hashbrowns. She was confused as to why they did that. The butter in the wall was not a good sign. read more

While going from hotel to Mount Rainer National Park we were searching for the spot to have a breakfast and came through the Kettle. It is a small cafe with a nice and beautiful decor. We were greeted by our server and started with Hot Chocolate and Black Coffee. We also ordered Muffins as it is the speciality of the cafe. We loved the muffins and it was homemade. After muffins we ordered the breakfast which was Veggie Omlette and Scrambled Eggs. We didn't had to wait much and got our order quickly. The portions that came out were humongous and the breakfast was amazing and tasty. We loved our breakfast as it was delicious. We couldn't complete it so we took the breakfast with us. Amazing breakfast and amazing cafe. read more

It was garbage! What I ordered and received was not the description that the server gave me. I ordered an open face chili burger. What I got was garbage! It came ice cold from the kitchen. It had a very small portion of the nastiest, vinegar tasting chili and served as a sandwich. The server said that "they must have changed the way we serve it." She then told me that I could remove the top bun and make it myself. Are you serious? I touched the bun and it was ice cold. I brought this to her attention and 30 seconds later I got a decimated bun, and the it was still ice cold in the middle. It was garbage! Absolutely the worst experience I've had in Enumclaw. Server came by because someone got seated in her section and asked me if I wanted everything boxed up. I pointed to my partially eaten meal and asked her incredulously, this? My dog probably wouldn't eat it either. Absolutely the worst garbage I ever had to pay $60.00 for. ​ read more

Sat there for 10 minutes no menu no food no service. From out of town clearly a local hick restaurant only. Embarrassing

Cozy ambiance with farm theme, random non matching items creating casual and homey feel. Very friendly server. Simple meals that taste delicious and are filling. We tried several unique items on the menu that were yummy! The best muffins I have ever had! Prices are a bit on a higher end. read more

Great food! Awesome muffins. Good portions. Friendly staff. Great hometown feel! Cute and comfortable! Great breakfast spot!!

Food is yummy. Area is small, but homie. It has an old school vibe with a bunch of unique pictures on the wall. Bathroom needs some love, service was great. Drank a bunch of coffee, mimosas, and bloodyMary's. If you want a traditional American breakfast, go here. Ignore how sketchy the outside looks. read more

I luv luv the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, knocks it out of the park! Wait person's are really nice and the gentleman we had last time was a hoot of course the muffins are fabulous... one of my go to's. read more

Muffins are wonderful. Food and service ok, very very basic. Eggs were very pale and overly runny and home fries were bland. Service was very slow but they seemed to be understaffed. I saw several people send back their food to kitchen. read more

Just had brunch here with my family. There were 5 of us. The portions are absolutely huge, the food was incredible. We had both breakfast and lunch options. Our waitress was very attentive and never let our drinks run out. We will return here every time we come to Enumclaw. Wheelchair friendly read more

I felt like I was walking into a friends restaurant when my son and I ate breakfast at The Kettle today. It's a cozy environment and set up just right. If you like pig figurines, you've gotta see their collection. The service, the coffee, and the food were all excellent. The next time I'm in Enumclaw I'll visit again. read more

The potato's were cold - we asked to have them on the side, they forgot about them and then served them as if they hadn't touched the oven.

Wow, I mean how do you ruin a basic cheese burger. Basic, ordered a regular cheeseburger, and I got sick after the first bite. I could not even stay in the restaurant I was afraid of vomiting. The staff was nice, not to caring, but at least friendly. Overall I would NOT recommend read more

Easter we ordered 2 hillbillies. Biscuits and gravy with cheese and bacon. We got them to go. It was so very disappointing. The food looked awful. Bland looking potatoes and very dry looking biscuits with bacon bits on them. And no muffins. I phone and complained, they said to come in and they would refund my money. They would only do a gift card. And we're so very rude about that. I won't be going back. read more

I gave it 3 because although it was good it's very expensive for breakfast. That being said if they'd have told us the portions were big enough to share, which they are, I would've rated it higher. read more

Awesome as always, under new ownership but every single thing was the same. Had the Helac special sandwich which was spot on. Service is the best.. thank you for keeping this Enumclaw icon going! read more

Yikes. We were looking for a new breakfast spot, and let me tell you, the Kettle ain't it. There was a moderate wait which is to be expected for a Sunday morning but the staff was extremely pleasant and we felt we were well taken care of. The food however? I've never had a bad pancake in my life. To say these pancakes were inedible is something. They almost tasted like sourdough, which we asked if they were and we were told they were not. My wife had the scramble an while it looked like a pile of trash, it was plentiful and thought it would be one of those diner foods that look gross but tastes delicious. Sadly, it was completely bland and my wife just picked all the little potato pieces out of it. The muffins were the only hit, but it wouldn't be worth going back here just for muffins. read more

Nice little spot for some lunch or breakfast. The burger was juicy and well seasoned and the bun toasty. The side salad was a nice size and made with fresh lettuce. Service was friendly. A true "diner" style feel. read more

Delicious food and huge portions! My hubby got the French toast and I got the veggie scramble. The scramble could feed a family of 4 and still have leftovers. It's well worth it. French toast was perfect- crunchy, soft, sweet, salty! And the server Sarah was just about the best part of the breakfast. She was so accommodating and kind- highly recommend getting a table in her area. Although I get the feeling everyone there is the same way. Definitely check it out next time you're in Enumclaw. read more

I wrote a very lengthy review and somehow it got lost when I signed in! The not only falls short on their food, the presentation, and handling special requests on said food orders, but their country gravy tasted like dish soap, the food didn't come out as it was ordered! The hash browns are not hash browns, they are deep fried Chunks of hard cold southern type of potato! Not pan fries, definitely NOT GRATED hash browns. Breakfast at the kettle was a far cry from being acceptable!! Mediocre service at best. This was the last time we'll EVER go to the kettle! We're done with the kettle, the lee and the drain!! It's pretty sad when we cannot get a decent breakfast here in town! Bad food, mediocre service, horrible prices for the amount of food served! $18.99 for 3 strips of bacon, 2 eggs and a whole heap of "hash browns" that are pretty much inedible! WE'RE DONE!!! NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Great breakfast and friendly staff. Large portions. And my kids both being picky eaters had lots to choose from so they both were pleased as well. Look forward to our next breakfast there. read more

We haven't been here in years! But got seated right away, and very friendly prompt service! This place never disappoints! If you're HUNGRY, then come here! Super large portions, comes with a cinnamon or blueberry muffin to start too! They're known for their "scrambles"...a mixture of meat, breakfast potatoes (not hash browns), cheese, and veggies that are GINORMOUS! They have few different ones to choose from. And they have a full and half order ($15.75/$16.75), but only a one dollar difference, so I'd get the full and share with a friend or take leftovers home. They also have hot cakes, burgers & sandwiches/lunch menu, and so much more. I wouldn't say it's the most delicious breakfast ever, but it's more about quantity/value here, I think. But...the service is too notch, which these days is hard to find! Quaint, cute, friendly in the heart of Enumclaw...I'd definitely recommend! read more

The service is friendly and very helpful. The bacon and eggs were of good quality but the French toast was virtually flavorless and black on one side. French toast is made with sourdough toast but I couldn't taste the sourdough at all and the batter was very bland. read more

The Kettle - French toast full breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

Completely changed with the new owners. Smaller portions, which I could have lived with. The muffins are not the same. They used to have a crispier sugary topping and better something. Ham is very meh. The cheese in the omelet wasn't melted. The gravy was BAD. It improved slightly with a little salt added, but it was tasteless. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the pop - husband tasted it. Generic pop. The menu says, "soft drinks". Obviously a little picky, but still. The portions are smaller and they cheaped out on the ingredients. Staff is completely different. They're hard working and perfectly nice, but they used to really go above and beyond. read more

This restaurant was delicious before new owner. Now over priced with below standard food. New menu is horrible.

The food was delicious and our server Yvonne was fantastic, so often at places you get food and they disappear but not today she was attentive without being bothersome read more

Bad breakfast, especially for $19.50. Ordered trout and over easy eggs with whole wheat toast and hash browns. I got eggs over hard, hash browns with cubes of potatoes that were white and not crisp and burned shredded potatoes mixed in, trout that tasted a little off and cheap whole wheat toast that was toasted to dark for my liking. My husbands Denver omelette was over cooked and dry served with cheap sourdough and the cheese was not melted. For both of us there was way to much food served and breakfast is something I rarely take away. A $50 fiasco. read more

The decor is interesting in a good way. That's about it. Heard from locals it was a good place to eat. Very disappointed. Hubby eggs way over cooked, "hash browns" were more like home fries and they were mostly cold. Bacon undercooked and scrambled eggs over cooked. Gravy on chicken fried steak was the only saving grace. Seated quickly but food took a bit to come out and then ignored. 2 other waitresses walked around with coffee pot, but hubby ended up having to get up to get to get a refill. Not sure what the locals see in it. Let's just say their concept of food and ours is a little different. read more

This is our go to breakfast place on the way to the Sunrise area of Mt. Rainier. We always order one of the scrambles and they split it for us. Even then, we still had enough to buy up and have for breakfast the next day. Coffee comes with a big muffin. Service is great and the atmosphere is friendly. Just as good as ever coming out of the pandemic restrictions. Been there at least 5 times over several years and never disappointed. read more
