We've tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is an older establishment that has kept its old charm. One aspect we appreciate about it. Very simple ordering process and great customer service. Simple menu with plenty of options for everyone. The food is cooked to order and doesn't take long even when it's really busy. Plenty of seating and a large parking lot. We have enjoyed every meal here and will continue to do so. Recommend dining here. Interesting note: if you search for the best burger restaurants in NC, they are on the list.

The food, well let's just say that I rarely come upon a menu that I plan other visits just to plow through the menu. I'm literal about planning additional visits to sample items not on the menu.

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.

We got a mango smoothie and hibiscus mango lemonade tea and the flavor was so good and refreshing. The prices are reasonable, the seating area is quiet and clean, and the staff is super helpful and respectful. I will try to work my way through their whole menu but it's huge so might take a while. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for cookies, macaroons, cake, donuts to ramen, sandwiches and more!

There was a steady flow of customers throughout our dining experience. The service was pretty good. The young lady taking our order was very nice. We had a short wait for our food. We both ordered a tray. I had the double burger tray with chicken nuggets, fries and tea. The burger was pretty good. The fries were good. I'm not sure how good the nuggets were because I received only three of them. I thought that was a stingy portion. The sweet tea was way too sweet. I did not expect brown sugar water. Crazy sweet. I asked for a cup of water so I could dilute it. My son had the burger tray with a walking taco and quesadilla. He enjoyed all of his. He eats Cook Out at college, so he knew what he liked. Overall I did enjoy my meal. The burger, service and ambiance overshadowed the nuggets and tea. I would probably eat at Cook Out again.

So amazingly that i only wanted to eat my fries the first time I was there. I could only eat one from my 2 dog combo so I had it in the fridge flr the next day. Hubby came home and ate it! He said the same thing, one of the best dogs ever. So, 3 days later we were running the streets taking care of business & stopped in for lunch. We both ordered the dogs again. Still the same yummy in my tummy feeling. The onion rings are perfectly crispy and the onion breaks when you bite into. That seems to be a problem for other food spots.
