"Excellent chef!!!"

- Sondra M.

"My family said the chicken tortilla was good. I had chips and salsa which was actually decent. Food came and server got me a water. Didn't take our empty food. Came back to check on us and still didn't take the bowls and basket. It was at the end of the table since before we got our food. Wet burrito was okay but i wouldn't get it again. Rice was super mushy. Train your servers to be servers!!!! There was barely anyone in here unacceptable!!!!"

"The Class of 1965 from North Judson High School had a 60 year luncheon reunion in the private dining room. It was wonderful. The meals were all perfectly prepared and the portions were generous. The 2 servers were top-notch. We've all decided to return to the Country Kettle next year for a 61st reunion luncheon!! "

- Shari R.

"Older, well established restaurant where breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed. Sausage gravy and biscuits, eggs over easy, and crispy hash browns all cooked to perfection. This breakfast meal was food delight of the day. Our waitress was kind and courteous, efficient, and kept us filled with coffee. Perfect service to go along with a perfect breakfast. The price was cost effective against a delicious meal. I highly recommend this place. I will try again in the morning to see if the standard has been set."

"Food was great. Staff was very nice. All around good atmosphere. Def will go back for a steak again it was the bomb."

"Sadly, i didn't get any pictures. It was all soooo good though. I got the early bird special of 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and hasbrowns. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and filling. I really didn't need anything else. I would also like to note that the hasbrowns were cooked perfectly, scattered like requested. You wouldn't believe how many places don't get that right. So well done Country Kettle!! Your service was welcoming and friendly, so we will visit again."

- Jasmine B.

"Quintessential definition of Small Town Coffee Shop. The pancakes were made with buckwheat which made them especially delicious! And there was never a moment when my coffee cup was more than halfway empty. Every girl had a smile on your face and everybody smiled and waved"
