We have a rotating pie, so ask what's in today.

A couple of weeks ago I had the Friday cod loin fish fry, the batter on the fish was excellent thin and crunchy, fish was moist, potato pancakes were tasty along with the coleslaw and Marbled rye. Tonight I had the smoked brisket chimichanga (not deep fried) crispy non greasy and excellent flavor , extra heavily loaded beans had a great variety of smoked meat added.

Oh my goodness! You have to go to The Kitchen in Sussex!! Ordered pancakes and a side of ham. Both were delicious. The pancakes are practically the size of hubcaps. 😁 I brought 2 home. Staff is so friendly and they kept the coffee flowing. A friend also ordered pancakes but with sausage links and she enjoyed both. Another friend had basic breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast.

This place is the slice of Americana you just don't get anymore. Absolutely classic breakfast setup and don't forget the rotating pie. Had a key lime cheesecake here once that was divine. They close at two, and there is usually a seat or two but maybe harder to get in on a Saturday? I always go during the week. I've never had a bad meal here and I've never had to pay a lot for that meal either. Affordable in all the right ways

Amazing customer service! We came with our two kids and this place just felt so homey, they had a great cheeseburger special that came with ice cream and just the sweetest staff. It was close to closing time and they kept telling us no rush and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Absolutely recommend!
