Would absolutely recommend for a stop here as I believe it is a hidden gem. I went here because a friend told me it was great, and they were right! Loved hearing the train go by. The seating is in a boxcar type setting. Absolutely loved it!

This place is such a hidden gem. Tucked away off the beaten path, it has that cozy, "you almost…read moredon't want to tell anyone about it" kind of charm. The space is definitely on the smaller side, which adds to the intimate feel, but I can only imagine it gets pretty tight during peak hours--especially since they don't take reservations. That said, everything else more than makes up for it. The service was genuinely excellent--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. And the food? Absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. If you're thinking about going, I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to avoid the rush. It's a small spot, but one that delivers a big experience.

Blink and you might miss it but if you're lucky enough to stop in you will leave full of delicious home cooked food! And with a smile on your face from the great service and environment. Our recent stop was for pancakes before school and some time to study vocabulary words...not a bad combo for a kid if you ask me. My only draw back is that parking is tight during certain times of the day, but if the lot is full it's because people know how delicious this place is!! Did I mention everything is farm to table and you can even purchase some local meats here during certain seasons.

We loved having a pre-Derby lunch here! Visiting a friend who lives nearby, she plans to come back!…read more We shared the Duck Poppers which were small but yummy. A nice little treat. Then I ordered the soup and a side of grits, which were both delicious. My husband order the Beef cheek Po Boy - yummy! And my friend ordered the Cuban. The fries are tasty and everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared. Of course we saved room for dessert and shared the Banana Cream Pudding. It had a roasted marshmallow top and probably the beat Banana pudding I've had! For drinks, we got the Filly Lilly, A specialty Mint Julio with Thyme in it, and the winner was the Strawberry Rhubarb Buck. Wow! Not only was the food delicious, but the service was great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We sat inside because it was a dreary first half of the day before the sun came out for the Derby! But, there were a lot of nice outdoor areas to sit and enjoy your food or beverages. You will find something you love at the Kitchen Table. I highly recommend!

Order: deviled egg with country ham marmalade with redeye aioli. The perfect bite. Just order it and you will be so happy. Creamy egg with the crunchy texture of the ham. Yum! Duck bomb with cane sugar gastrique. Great combo of sweet and salty. The sauce just brightens the entire dish. Cheese sampler was ok flavor. Toast points were deep fried and seasoned well. Brisket dinner. Just ok. Slightly dry, definitely needed a sauce on the side. The bean medley on the bottom was ok. I don't think i would order again. Honey glazed fried chicken was the star of the show. Perfectly crispy exterior with juicy meat on the inside. The best bite of the day for sure. The surprise of the day was the "french onion soup" inspired mac and cheese. Just a delicious play on a traditional mac and cheese.

I have a LOT of dietary restrictions and when Terri Anne saw us reviewing the menu before taking a seat, she approached us to answer our questions and let us know that their kitchen can accommodate pretty much any restrictions or allergies. The food definitely did not disappoint. Everything was delicious including my sad-looking chicken breast. It was so good, in fact, that I wish I hadn't gotten such a large helping off the salad bar. Very clean and cute space. Well laid out tables and comfortable chairs. Highly recommend to tourists and locals alike!
