Reviews for The Kettle Diner in Jacksonville, NC
????The food was pretty good. The service was pretty good. Had to ask for utensils as our food came. Coffee was OK. Decor seems... to fit a different type of food ????. Husband makes an incredible breakfast so it is tough for me to rank anyone else's cookingas good as his. ???? We also compared it to two other restaurants of similar fare that we love - one in California and one inIdaho. ??Will go back sometime I'm sure and will update if there is reason to.???? Oh! 55 is a Senior!????????????????????? Read more
This was my first time here ever. I've lived in the city for over 15 years and just never visited. I always see tons of people... here, with a full parking lot. I would like to start by saying I love the decor. Super job. It still has that diner nastalgafeeling which I fell in love with. I got the daily special it was fried chicken. The chickens as moist, the crust was crunchyand full of flavor. I got the Lina beans which I liked also. The potato salad wasn't anything special. Sweet tea to drink was onpoint. Read more
Great service, extensive menu. We had the daily special which was meatloaf with two sides, Chicken parmasan with spaghetti and... garlic bread. This place fills up fast. They serve breakfast all day which is rare. So stop on by and check them out. Cameback for breakfast, it was excellent. Read more
Pretty darn good, and I was pleasantly surprised by that. Diners are hit or miss for us, and I can say this one was a hit. I... could tell how popular the location was just based on the sheet volume of customers. The food was pretty good, not the greatestfood in the world but just good, solid food. My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak. The meat was tender, and hot and fresh. Thebun was well toasted. He also ordered onion rings that were pretty good too. Well made, just needed more seasoning. I orderedthe Club with ham and turkey. It was very yummy! The ratio of meat to bread to condiments was perfect. I had the fries, whichwere indeed steak fries. Could have been a little crispier. Also needed more seasoning. Kiddos had breakfast items, youngesthad silver dollars (one was a cute Mickey shaped pancake!) and the oldest had Four Deuces. They split the eggs and bacon. Thepancakes were fluffy, and the eggs and protein were good. The eggs needed a bit of salt. The service was quick, everything washot and fresh, and overall a great place to eat. Thanks for the good dinner, Kettle Diner! Read more
I believe there were 14 servers? I haven?t had an excellent waffle to brag about until today. The staff really make you feel... welcomed. Thank you for being a steady/consistent diner. Appreciate you all. Read more
I can?t believe this is my first time here. All I can think of right now is all the times I could have come here instead of... IHOP, Denny?s or Waffle House. The food was amazing. I can?t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. I definitelyrecommend this place. Read more
My first time with the family here. Food was great but the service was amazing. My wife makes a better chicken parmigiana... since she uses an entire breast. The chicken was cut and small but otherwise with the pasta, very filling. They have the 2ndbest Mac & Cheese of Jacksonville and it was delicious. The salad was the freshest out of all the places and steak houses I?vebeen to. Please order the cheese fries; wow, you will see why!!! Read more
Fantastic food, sitting is a little tight but the food so makes up for it. Must have chicken and waffles. The Spanish omelette... was so flavorful. But most importantly our server miss Gerry was exceptional. She was attentive and helpful in every way. Theentire staff was polite to each other and their patrons and honestly was a breath of fresh air. We found our new favoritebreakfast spot! Read more
