This is our first time back at the Kettle since returning to OC last September and it is just as I…read moreremember: tasty, down home cooking and friendly folks. I asked our very helpful and sweet server Jersey if she had only 2 choices with one being chicken fried chicken or the daily special Taco Salad, which would she go with and she said the taco salad. So, that's what I ordered. It was very tasty, loaded with 2 types of cheese a side of Jalapeño (which I gave to hubby) alot of fresh tomatoes and lettuce, a side of salsa and sour cream served in a somewhat crispy tortilla shell. And the shell is the only reason for a 4 star vs 5, the shell wasn't as light and crispy as I like it. It tasted as if they fried it several hours ago and honestly, I get why they did it that way as it saves time but the shell just left me disappointed. Hubby ordered a patty melt with fries. We came into town to scope out the Jacksonville Landing for future bass fishing mornings and when I told him we were stopping in here for lunch he already knew he was having the melt. I mean, he thought about it for 90 minutes lol. I've had their melts before and it is yummy. I think though the fries were the star on his plate. They were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside and topped with something akin to Old Bay Seasoning. And they were HOT! Y'all, i mean, they're only fries but rhey were PERFECT! I am seriously alreasy looking forward to our 1st fishing adventure just so we can have lunch at the Kettle once we've caught all the bass. Jersey was quite attentive, but not hovering and warm friendly like only you'll find in the south. Oh, bestie told me to get the chocolate torte because she said, literally, "it's life altering." However, I forgot to so, just another thing for me to enjoy after our initial fishing trip. In some ways, you can go home again.

Our Server Dani was absolutely amazing. She had only been there a few days. She did an excellent…read morejob, very polite and friendly. Kept our coffee cups full. Our food was not cooked like we ordered. Ordered over medium eggs, they were over medium well to well! Asked for crispy bacon, not close to crispy! We set outside and it was starting to get hot. She offered to get it remade, but they were busy. We got no kind of discount which would have been nice. We've been several times and this is the first time we've had a bad experience.

The morning we went was pretty busy. It took a while to get seats at the bar. Also took quite some time to just get waters and a coffee. Another wait to order our food. And then the long wait for our food to come out. As already stated, it was fairly new and very busy. We just didn't expect the whole process to take that much time. It has a promising environment with plenty of seating and menu items to choose from. Our meals were ok. Nothing to rave about. We probably won't return, but who knows. Worth a try.

We were greeted quickly upon arriving into Liliana's Colombian Restaurant and Bakery by an older gentleman, you could tell he has pride in this restaurant the way he spoke and helped with everything. The food, we order tostones for an appetizer. They were crispy, light, and simple. Could've used a bit of salt personally but the garlic sauce they came with really made up for it. So good! The steak had a ton of flavor, and the yellow rice was solid, though my family actually liked the white rice better overall. We ordered a mix of plates with yellow rice and fries, others with white rice and tostones. I went with the arroz con pollo (classic choice), and my youngest had the chicken nuggets and fries. Only downside: my meal came out about 10 minutes after everyone else's, which was a little frustrating but not warrant for complaints. Our waiter was really sweet, a tad slow checking in sometimes, but he was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He even got honey on the side for my kiddos nuggets. Odd request but it's a thing. A big surprise but we got a free choice of a pastry at the end, which was really nice. My kids picked flan and said it was light, firm, but still creamy. Not too mushy. In the end the vibe is very family friendly. They play Latin music in the background, but it's quiet and chill, easy to drown out and still enjoy. I would love to see this place flourish, I know they deserve it, there's a lot of love put into this place. If we're ever in town again, we'll be back.

We had Our 2 Grandkids (7, & 9) in the group, who can be shy most of the time. Because of all the Appointments we had today, I completely forgot that Texas Roadhouse had a Costumed Character. We didn't see them when we were inside the entrance, or when we got seated, though after we got our drinks, I looked up from the menu, after one of the grandkids had said Hello. I thought the server had returned to the table, looked over, & there was the Costumed Character. The best part was when both my Grandkids had gave him Hi fives, & moved along to the music while him, & the Texas Roadhouse Dancers/Servers were Dancing. Thank u.

She was so MIA I had to ask my husband had he seen her when 20 minutes passed without a sighting of her. She never dropped off our check so I finally just paid using the tablet. She only got a 20% tip because I was tired of waiting & didn't feel like calculating less. I told her we were celebrating our 39th anniversary & that barely got a congratulations. We won't be back. When we spend $70 with half of the meal not being worth $30 bucks, that's a sign they're not worthy of a return visit. Phyla should consider staying home when she's not in the mood to work.
