First time here. Came with a small group for breakfast. It's a small standalone building with large front windows. To the right is "The Parlor," which I think is a bar (inside, there's an open doorway that connects the two). Inside is a breakfast counter, with tables that extend toward the rear. It gets a bit narrow in the back, which gives you a little more privacy and quiet. We were greeted by a friendly host who seated us toward the back. There were fans blowing, so we ended up moving tables. We got waters, menus, and placed our drink orders. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered a Belgian Waffle, Pancakes with Eggs, and Blueberry Pancakes. Everything came out quickly -- hot and tasty. We had expected the Blueberry Pancakes to have the berries mixed in, but instead they were served on top. Also, the picture of the Belgian Waffle showed whipped cream and fruit, but what arrived was just plain. (Not a big deal, just different than shown.) A decent breakfast. read more

"the" Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sussex, Wisconsin

I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. The biscuits were EXTREMELY salty and, for me, inedible. I informed the waitress and she said she'd let them know in the kitchen. However, I doubt she did. No offer of a replacement meal or other such suggestion. Good Luck to them in the future - I won't be going back. read more

This a cute "mom and pop" restaurant. It was very busy when we went on a Friday morning. You could tell they have a good following from the local community. The service fine, they struggled since it was so busy especially when it came to trying to pay the bill (hence the 4 stars). I had the meat lovers scrambler with the kitchen potatoes which was delicious! All of us loved our food and will definitely be back! Great breakfast spot to check out if you are in the area. read more

Very welcoming and it felt like eating at home. The breakfast sammy was so so good. The oj was so dang good. The seating was so you didn't have to scrunch in anywhere. I'm a big dude and everything felt just right. read more

"the" Kitchen - Egg, sausage and pepper jack cheese on a plain bagel & a side of hash with OJ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sussex, Wisconsin

We were rather confused upon arrival since no one informed us to wait to be seated or to just sit. After overhearing a conversation with staff and another customer, we realized it was a seat yourself situation. After we sat down, a host arrived to give us menus and give us drinks. We then sat for about 5 minutes before a waitress came over and took our order. She delivered our order fairly quick. The food was reasonably priced, but was nothing special. About a 1/4 of the way through our food, we both needed refills. Our waitress did not stop back once, nor did she walk past for us to ask. We ended up asking the hostess that was clearing our plates for refills and that was after considering getting up to do it ourselves. After that, we sat patiently waiting for our waitress to make the final arrival at our table to deliver the check. For a place that had such great reviews for the food, it was a let down. As far as the service, we would've been happy if one of the 3-4 hostesses running around had stopped by our table for a refill or a check in as well, but unfortunately, service was lacking. read more

The food was really good here for breakfast, the hot sauce I believe is homemade. The service was good, clearly family owned and it's quick. They must be doing something right because they were very busy. read more

I came here after watching some competitive food eaters do a challenge here. Now, there isn't anything that I could find about this challenge so not sure how much they are advertising it, but the food looked great so I had to go check it out. I went for a late breakfast and struggled with what I wanted. I was excited to discover you could get a side of the corned beef hash so I went with the country fried steak and had to get a side of breakfast links. The corned beef hash was really and I can see it being better with an over easy egg on top. The sausage links were a healthy size and tasted pretty wonderful. My favorite thing though was that sausage gravy. I seriously feel it's the best I remember ever having. I am going back soon to try the biscuits and gravy. The value here is also something to note. I found the prices to be a great value with the amount and quality of food I received. Because of that, I can see why the place had a ton of regulars in there. While I don't eat out for breakfast a ton, this place may change that. read more

This was the restaurant of the week to try out since I'm in Waukesha frequently. This review isn't a bad review and more of a strange prime rib experience review. The place is weird looking because it's got an old school vibe with the low lunch counter/stools and semi modern tables, exposed brick with wood walls. It seems like a family run businesses with people called grandpa and grandma by the younger guy. I ordered a Bloody Mary spicy hurt me style and it was pathetic looking and far from hurt me. I ordered the prime rib dinner extra rare that comes with a home made dinner roll that I declined because I don't care for bread and butter like previous generations. The prime rib has bourbon glazed carrots, sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes with gravy. My prime rib looked awful because it had a brown hue to it instead of the pink hue I'm used to and no herbed/seasoned crust at all. The bourbon glazed carrots were awful because the were cooked to mush like baby food. The mushrooms were sliced paper thin so my fork was useless as a fork and I had to shovel them up and stick the meat with most falling off. The mashed potatoes and gravy were bland with no seasoning. The prime rib was bland because of no seasoned crust and not rare but not medium either so it's the weirdest prime rib I have ever had. On the plus side it wasn't super lean so it had nice flavorful fat in the meat and once salted it was very good, I hate a super lean prime rib because fat is flavor. Here's where the review goes off the rails and despite not getting the red rare slab of meat I'm used to it was super tender and very moist/juicy with no chewy weird pieces. It was actually quite good and I suspect the the whole rib roast was over cooked to start with and there was no way I was ever getting any red meat from it so if your not a red meat person for prime rib I would get the prime rib here but the sides are super average. read more

Best Mom and Pop place we have been to in a while!! My husband said 'mark this as a place to come back to!" The owners were mixing drinks, delivering them and running the register. Food was delicious, drinks great and service was wonderful! No wait time at noon on Sunday, everything was quick and efficient! read more

Great little local spot, excellent food and service. Plus great prices! Our favorite thing is their breakfast omelettes

Another day off brunch with my husband. We wanted to try something new. We arrived around 10 a.m. and were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly and the restaurant was clean. It wasn't very busy with only about 4-5 other people. The coffee was okay. I prefer stronger coffee. It wasn't acidic. I ordered the Meat Lovers Skillet. I didn't have a choice of how the egg was cooked. There were some sausage, ham, bits of bacon and eggs. Potatoes were deep fried and seasoned with seasoned salt. The hot sauce was not very spicy and had some floral taste to it. My husband thought it was fruity like pineapple. Overall not bad. Prices are not bad. Value for price paid was good. Is that the saying? If it was any pricier I would probably not recommend. read more

Kim's has excellent service and excellent food! The best eggplant strips I have had anywhere. The fish fry is very good and the potato pancakes are also the best I have had. They are thick, tasty and not at all greasy! I have had potato pancakes at several other places and you can wring out the grease! I will always recommend Kim's! read more

Clean restaurant, good food, very friendly staff, very affordable prices. Found this place randomly and we're glad we stopped in. The owner Gabriel in particular is a treasure. The only downside is the soda I ordered had a kind of gross taste, but the prices and the customer service offset this enough to make this a very pleasant experience. We would return! read more

should definitely be 0 stars, locked the doors 20 minutes before closing and couldn't even come to the door to tell us they were closing for the day. they looked at us and did nothing. the place looks very dirty and I can't imagine their food is any better, won't be coming here in the future read more

Three thumbs up. Food is great. Both omelettes and pancakes are top notch. Service is fab . Highly recommended you won't find a better diner in the area. read more

Love this place. Very hometown diner that serves up an awesome breakfast. I finally have a "go to" for Sunday mornings.

Great little breakfast place. Service was quick and friendly, food was really reasonably priced and cooked right.

Our second time having breakfast in this place. Food & service is great!! Definitely recommend it

Friendly with good food, it give a cozy country vibe too. I have went here multiple times before the new owner and not much has changed.

Love this place. I recommend the country fried steak for breakfast or the smoked brisket sandwich for lunch. Two of favorites for sure. And the price is right read more

Pretty average breakfast experience. "the" kitchen replaced M&M restaurant in Sussex. I can't make a comparison there since I was never at M&M. "the" kitchen is very close and we decided to try it out for breakfast due to a time constraint. It definitely has a diner vibe with counter seats, tables and booths. When we arrived after 1PM the place was fairly empty since they close at 2PM on Sunday. We sat at the counter and were greeted and asked what we wanted to drink. Very shortly thereafter we were asked if we were ready to order. I mean appreciate the speed but I barely looked at the menu. Of course this person did not return but the owner came over to take our order. I order a ham and cheese omelet and my boyfriend got the Cajun skillet. We also got some pancakes to share. The menu is pretty standard diner fair. Nothing really stood out to me. Our pancakes arrived first... they were not round and looked kind of unevenly cooked. They also place the butter on the pancakes with no additional butter given. And a small plastic container of syrup. So just so every knows, I love butter, and I don't want a restaurant dictating how much butter goes on my pancakes. Slightly annoyed, I ate the pancakes sans the amount of butter necessary. They were ok pancakes. Our dishes arrived shortly after we finished the pancakes. My boyfriend enjoyed his skillet but said the American fries were overcooked and there was hardly any sausage or okra in the dish. My omelet was pretty lackluster. I mean I know it's an omelet but holy meh. And guess what, no butter on the toast! What???? Why???? Fine, whatever. I mean the owner did say he could have spiced up the Cajun skilled for my boyfriend since he saw us dumping hot sauce on our food. The hot sauce was pretty good and did help make the food a little better. If you're looking for the most average breakfast in Sussex, you've found it. Highlights, nice people and good hot sauce. Low lights, basic food. read more

Treated me and my son, daughter in law and grandchildren fantastic food was great sausage gravy outstanding

It's a good local greasy spoon. Nothing overly exciting about the food or the menu. But it has variety and what they make is pretty plain. Portions are good. Overall it's not a bad option for breakfast or lunch. Please stop burning the toast though! read more
