My very first experience was the cinnamon roll which wasn't the greatest . Extremely messy and an Overload of the cinnamon brown sugar paste. Expressed my concerns with the manager but he didn't seem concerned .. he was questioning whether it was just messy, not very professional since theirs a diff between messy and it being eatable/taste . Not sure if it was just the cut of my piece but I had to pick at it and scrape majority of the paste off and it's a hefty $12 for a roll so that shouldn't be the case . We're paying for quality and satisfaction. However , I don't want to tie it with the remainder of my experience as I'm excited to try their brunch and dinner menu and don't see it being a disappointment at all. Hence the four Stars - Thank you! read more

Went 2 times in one day since there were so many items on the menu that looked delicious! We love an all day breakfast! It was quite busy (as we went on a Saturday), but they have both indoor and outdoor seating so we didn't worry too much about figuring out where to sit. They were only open for about a few weeks when we went so they were still figuring some things out, but all the staff were so incredibly nice and helpful! Drinks ordered: Carrot Juice (large): it was delicious, but I thought it would be more as it was the large size. I think the fact that the glass wasn't full made it seem like a lot less. Cold brew: a classic and not too watered down nor acidic Lemonade: it wasn't bad but I would rather get more carrot juice instead Food ordered: Big Apple XL Cinnamon Bun: I am obsessed with this and have not stopped thinking about this since I last had it! I love the bread they used and how thick the icing is! I will be returning for this for sure! George's Big Morning: It truly is a proper breakfast!! I love their style of pancake, but everything else was a classic breakfast. The Farmer Breakfast: a smaller version of the big morning (without the pancake) but this was perfect as I basically inhaled the cinnamon bun myself. George's Jumbo Juicy Burger: Diabolical how good this burger was!! The melted cheese, the juiciness of the patty was PERFECTION. Curry Udon: I liked the potato foam but their curry isn't sweet like the japanese curry I was expecting. It was good, but very heavy. I preferred the burger over the udon. Mom's Mile High Lemon Meringue: I am a sucker for anything lemon and this did not disappoint! The meringue was definitely piled high but I also liked the sweetness level! Definitely will be returning as I still have more menu items I want to try and need another cinnamon bun for sure! read more

Update: Very deceptive marketing here. Turns out the beef tallow fries come to them "pre blanched in beef tallow" (employee quote) and are then fried at the restaurant in canola oil. To those of us who avoid such bs oils (such as canola oil) not only for our personal health, but especially for the fragile health of our children with autoimmune diseases, this is highly irritating and unfortunate. Also shame on me for trusting the title provided by this restaurant and not getting clarifying info prior to feeding this to my daughter. She will be bummed to find out she cannot go back. Old review: Beef tallow fries! They are fabulous. So flavorful. Highly recommend the George's Jumbo Juicy burger. Fantastic diner style meal read more

Came in twice over the past few weeks, so this isn't a one-visit take. The vibe here is real. Staff is warm, the concept is solid for families, and you can tell there's genuine care behind this place. That part comes through immediately. Food-wise, it's a mixed bag right now. The tenderloin is a good cut but it came out like it went straight from pan to plate -- needed a few more minutes to rest. Something to pull it together saucewise would make a real difference. The swiss chard was over-salted both times, which is fixable -- a little butter, some garlic, and that's a completely different side dish. The big burger was tough to eat, structurally. Falls apart before you get through it. The smash burgers are the better call, but mine sat a bit before it came out and you could tell. Fries were the same story -- a little heavy on seasoning and not quite hot. The cinnamon rolls in the display case are a cute touch for a family spot. Just keep them looking fresh and tidy up front -- that case is the first thing you see walking in. Service has the right energy, it just needs more organization. Clearer roles, a smoother ordering flow -- the kind of stuff that comes with time and training. Music could come down a notch too. It ran a little loud for a family crowd. None of this is unfixable. George + Kin's has the bones of a genuinely great neighborhood diner. I'll be back when they've had more time to find their footing. read more

Quality/Quantity - Welcome to Napa. A new business that just replaced Heritage Eats. Guess I am too slow, or the Yelp community is just too fast in writing their reviews. I uploaded my pictures on 4/3/26 and now finally writing my review... Well, if you are following, you know I have started my travels again. Anyway, the simple menu was done well. Food made fresh and from scratch. Breakfast is served all day. Ambiance - Small to decent size location. I think the outdoor space is as large as the indoor space...? Open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good. Price - Reasonable, see the pictures of their menu. Owner Comment - Congrats on your new location and being in the business for the last 10+ years. read more

My foodie friend read about George + Kin's Diner in Napa in SF Eater and asked if I wanted to go on a weekday. I'm always game so we Ubered an hour North to try George + Kin's. Decor: amazing. Ambiance: bright, airy, cute, slightly kitschy but not tacky. Welcoming. Like a hug. There's also quite a bit of outdoor seating. Service: wonderful. Helpful. Kind. Refilled my water. Loved my friend's dog (the cutest, most well-behaved pom.) They brought him out a clean water bowl! Food: My expectations were high and I felt the food was only good, not great. The high expectations were not met. Portions were large. The fresh house-made carrot juice was very good. I enjoyed my fresh corn and scallion omelette and added on sausage. My friend enjoyed her Farmers' Breakfast but it felt like slightly elevated diner food. However, that is kind-of the point! There's some Japanese-American-inspired touches, but they're subtle. The accompanying toast to my omelette seemed to be milk bread? It was unclear but the bread was indeed delicious. I honestly expected prices to be higher. It made for a nice day trip before we hopped to a winery. Honestly not sure if I'd be back given how many places I haven't tried in Napa (and how often I go up there--not too often!) However I didn't realize it was only an hours' drive away... read more

Attended the opening day and enjoyed the entire experience! The service was amazing and spent time talking to the owner and learned about the story of the diner. I love Cobb salads so really wanted to try there's.. and it was amazing! I enjoyed the 50's and 60's music as well. Definitely going back! read more

French toast was 1/8 of loaf which was very generous portion! Beautiful sourdough taste and syrup was "light " which I favor. I love the homage to owners grandparents. Place has great energy; bustling children and adults- family friendly. I'd return with my elementary best friend just because it's just that kind of place - "feel good". Plus I love supporting good local eats in my town. read more

Quaint diner in a nice shopping center. The service here was phenomenal -- they really take care of you from start to finish. I ordered the big 10oz burger which was cooked very well and hit the spot! I also really enjoyed the beef tallow fries, they're crispier and have more flavor than your typical French fry. I'd be up to coming back to try something else here; from what I saw, the portions of everything seem huge!! read more

Had a late lunch or early dinner after going to a winery. We sat down close to 3pm and it was almost a completely empty restaurant. I like ordering at the counter then you can leave whenever you're finished. Was very excited to tried the Japanese egg salad sandwich but was sadly disappointed. The bread was too thick and the eggs salad to bread ratio was off. We also tried the Cobb and it came with a little friend. We sent it back and they quickly replaced it. Bf got the farmers breakfast and had no complaints. Had high hopes for this place but nothing special. Maybe I got the wrong thing? read more

The staff and servers here are amazing. We are here when it was Heritage Eats, but LOVE the changes and the way they include their family into the environment. Looking forward to going back and trying other menu options read more

Wow! Love the new concept! We needed a diner like restaurant here in Napa. I had the eggplant parm and carrot bread which were both fresh and delicious! Portion size is also very generous. Even though you order at the counter then find a seat, I really love how there was someone who helped us secure a table. There is indoor & covered outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the Bel Aire shopping center. Can't wait to try other dishes! read more

George + Kin's Diner - Eggplant Parm with swiss chard and garlic bread on the side - Diners Near Me - Napa, California

Cute new place, with good food. They open at 8am and we got there about 20 after 8 and the line was out the door, probably cause it's new but the wait was about 20 minutes to place order, this is one of those order first and sit down after places. Ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, banana walnut pancakes and the kids breakfast. I underestimated how fluffy these pancakes would be, my fault I didn't notice the picture on the menu advertising them cause they were big! I will say though that the chocolate chip pancakes have an up charge of $2 and they had about ten chocolate chips on them (no chocolate chips inside) so that was disappointing. The banana walnut pancakes were good but the caramelized walnuts did have a bit of a burnt caramel taste. The kids breakfast was good, my son shared some of his food with me and the eggs wee fluffy and hash brown was perfectly crispy. Staff were friendly, and I got refills on my coffee two times during our visit. All in all I would try again and maybe just try other options. read more

I was really excited to try their breakfast because I love breakfast at any time of the day. I was extremely disappointed in the food. We ordered the Cobb salad, egg Benedict and a cinnamon bun. The food was served cold, the piece of toast was stale tasted odd. The entire dish was pretty bland. The chicken in the salad looked very tasty, but it was just the looks, it was tastless and dry. The cinnamon bun was not good at all, it was really gooey, and the bread was stale and had too much cinnamon paste like someone else mentioned. Cute place, but disappointing food. Service was ok. read more

So I was excited to try the food and saw it was on doordash. But it was just ok. The burger had a huge tomato that was way to thick the meat was good but the sauce was just ok. The tallow fries they just remind me of any normal French fries and when I got them they were soggy which I feel like that's a travel error. The soda was flat... 0 carbonation. I feel like I would need to try in person to give a better judgment but so far just ok. read more

Hooked ! Japanese fusion Diner but only in the best details. Had the burger and fries -so homemade tasting! Sandwiches like japanese egg salad uses japanese kewpie mayo too! Very home made tasting and garnished with japanese pickled vegetables on the side. . Breakfast omeletes are standard and served with japanese milk bread that they also sell pre-order 1/2 or whole loaf to go. The pancakes and french toast are the puffy sort. Yum. The desserts are plentiful big and beautiful reminding me of the old Max's Opera Cafe dessert cases. The black and white cookie was recommended and is innovated - NYC Jewish deli style. Next time we would order a slice of their Dream Cake. I love that you can visit the diner for dessert breakfast tea time lunch or dinner. You can even order a banana split. We look forward to trying the whole menu. Great addition to the Whole Foods shopping mall here. read more

I came by George + Kin's Diner during the soft opening and was welcomed warmly by everyone I met there. The ambiance is super cozy, homey and comforting, and I loved the decorations and small touches like the order numbers being photos of the family. I ordered the smashburger - an amazing deal at only $8.50, and added on the tallow fries for $4. The smashburger was larger than I expected, the lettuce and tomato super fresh, the patty so juicy and the sauce super flavorful - some sort of garlicky sauce that tied it all together perfectly! The tallow fries came in a much larger than expected serving, and are a perfect light crisp with soft fluffy insides. For dessert I got the tart cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - I was honestly stuffed by the time this came out but I loved the nice tart bite of the cherries with the creamy ice cream (which also was perfect for dipping my last few fries into). George + Kin's Diner is an amazing addition to the neighborhood, and I'll definitely be back to try the french toast, pancakes and other super tempting comforting diner classics! read more

I popped in with a coworker for a quick lunch. tried the 8.50 perfect! delicious! burger patty perfectly season, cooked medium with a little pink. bun held the burger together perfectly. Tried the smoothie as well and it was fantastic. You go up and order first, then sit yourself . The clerks were friendly and the owner pop in to chat when we popped off about how good the burger was, i said 9 dollar burger and he said 8.50. cool dude . go try it ! best 8.50 spent in a while !! read more

Great place for homecooking style food. We are from the south and the service was quick and the food was amazing. They had a lot of unique touches like photos of the family business as table numbers, big coffee cups, and accommodating milk alternatives for diary allergies. So good and amazing.

Let me start with saying I will definitely come back again. I went to the soft opening with my friends and we all had something good to say. The food was served promptly,, still hot and steaming, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was chill diner vibes. Not sure who was who, but staff came up multiple times to check on us and made sure we got what we needed. You come in, order, pay and they bring the food to your table. The farmers breakfast was so good and filling. Eggs can be poached if you want (which not many places i have been for breakfast advertise) the sausage patties are made in house and are the perfect size, bread is also made in house. I asked for jam for my toast which isn't sitting at the table like some breakfast places and you can tell it was made in house too. It was strawberry :) My friends had the other dishes. I tried the French toast. It was warm, fluffy, sweet, and definitely shareable. Pics do not justice. But food was amazing read more

Big congrats to Ben, Charles, and the rest of the team on the launch of George + Kin's. Not only does the place have all the right visual touches and familiar friendly faces and service to make it feel like home, but, the menu and food is outstanding. Every single component of my Big Morning breakfast stood on its own; from the rustic sausage patties, down to homemade toast, and of course, those giant, delicious pancakes! More-so, everything was beautifully seasoned, including the eggs, hash browns and bacon - something you don't typically see in diner food. I love love love breakfast with all my being, and I can't wait to come back and work my way through this menu. -TT read more

I had lunch here yesterday and I have to say, it was one of the worse meals I've ever had in a restaurant. I really wanted to like this place and it missed big time. I got the chicken sandwich. The bread (which was just ordinary bread, nothing special) was burned. The chicken was so overcooked and dried out I could barely chew it. However, the coleslaw on the sandwich was delicious. The service was quick and friendly. Will I be back? Yes, I'll probably go again and try something off the breakfast menu. read more

Been waiting for this to open!! Went on the first non-soft opening day and enjoyed Benny IV personally greeting and touching tables. Love seeing a local, family run business!! The decor is warm and friendly. Using the family photos (with the og pencil marks on the back!) for the numbers is a great touch! Really makes you feel like you're in Aunt Kin's kitchen. Not full service so order at the counter and then find your seat. The icing on the warm big apple cinnamon bun is delicious and tangy. Fresh homemade bread available to purchase in full or half loaf. Great coffee too! Can't wait to go back and try lunch/dinner!! read more

We saw this place on an instagram reel and decided to give it a try on our way out of Napa. And wow, we spent our entire hour car ride talking about how good the food was.

We'd heard that George + Kin's Diner was busy on opening day and that the bread was super thick. Took us three tries to land a walk in, but that's typical of Napa's new restaurants. The third time was the charm; no line and plenty of options. The manager was competent and I tip my hat to the restaurant for hiring highschoolers .Make sure you know what to order before get a table, you pay with the host! The window menu outside helps the decision process. After much thought, I went with the Chicken Parmesan and a glass of prosecco, my fiancé was happy with the eggs Benedict. The parmigiana was nostalgic and felt like a home cooked meal, we had the whole outside patio to ourselves on a beautiful day in Napa Valley. What can I say? Of course I had to order twice for a Toffee Milk shake and slice of cake. A+ read more

I have been here a few times but for breakfast only. The food is homemade and always fresh and the plates are decent size. I always order GEORGE'S BIG MORNING comes with two eggs any style, a fluffy buttermilk pancake, hash browns, toast, two pieces of bacon and two sausage patties. The things I don't like about the place is ordering before you sit down and paying a tip before you get served also the lights shine in your face when you sitting down eating. Definitely want to check out lunchtime one day. read more

We happened upon this spot on the way out of town, and boy were we lucky. The service? 10/10. The food? Also excellent. The little patio playing a solid music selection? Also also very good. If I lived nearby, I would be a regular here. But I don't, so I can't be. read more

Was hoping to find my new "go to" breakfast spot. Had read so many positives about this new spot. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I don't think so. I was just not impressed by anything at George & Kin's with the exception of the staff - they truly are friendly and welcoming. So I'm hoping they can correct some of the issues I experienced. First off, the men's room. Seriously needs some improvement (see pics). A new establishment and the toilet seat looks like it was purchased at a fire sale - stained and broken. Coffee- coffee at a diner should be really good. Their's is really terrible. No richness and little flavor. I tried both the regular and decaf and both were equally bad. And the plastic cups for cream provided was really low class and not environmentally friendly. Not a fan of the dough from which their bread and cinnamon rolls and French toast etc are all made. Had an odd texture. Certainly not Japanese milk bread but also not sourdough. Needs more gluten development I think as it has kind of an odd crumbly texture which I found unappealing. Of course tastes vary. I had the omelet. Thin, not fluffy, and the pre shredded "cheddar" was not melted on top or even inside. And if there is an option to customize fillings, it's not apparent. Hash-browns were pretty good. At least they were browned and seasoned well. Cinnamon roll was ok but as I stated above not a fan of the dough compared with a more typical cinnamon roll dough. And the cinnamon filling seemed to have some kind of thickener added as it was kind of gooey but not in an appealing way. Not to my liking. Again some of this is just a matter of preference but I stand firm that their coffee and its service needs some serious improvement and get the bathroom cleaned up. Overall I doubt I'll return. Was going to go two stars but the friendly staff get them 2.5 and I'll round up. read more

Was in Napa for a few days and went to check out George + Kin's with my family. We were there mid afternoon one day and went back again for breakfast the next day to try more of their menu. Both times we ordered items to share - Everything was so delicious! The portions were very generous and service was great! The space is very charming and cozy. We are already planning to be back for more. Some of our favorites for this past weekend were the eggplant parmigiana, the granola bowl, the fried chicken COBB with crisp fried tofu in place of the chicken and the kumquat pancakes. Also, both the carrot juice and carrot bread are highly recommended. read more

My family tried the Kin's pancakes, regular house pancakes, and the farmer's breakfast. The Kin's pancakes were the stuff of my dreams- that combo of sugar and snappy acidity. And the pancake itself was tender and delicious! The farmer's breakfast included the milk bread that they make on the premises. We will be back! read more

We stopped by George & Kin's during their soft opening and were seriously impressed. I ordered the Benny's Benedict with bacon, and everything about it was spot on, the eggs were cooked perfectly, with that ideal runny yolk. The milk bread served on the side deserves its own shoutout... it was absolutely incredible and something I'm still thinking about. My husband went with the farmer's breakfast with sausage, and the sausage was clearly fresh and full of flavor--super delicious. The setup is casual and easy: you order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Service was quick, and the food came out fast without sacrificing quality. Everything tasted very fresh, and the portions were generous. For a soft opening, they're already doing a fantastic job. We'll definitely be back! read more

I don't usually rave about sauces, but this hollandaise completely stole the show. It's that perfect, silky consistency--not too thick, not too runny--just beautifully smooth and velvety. The balance of flavors is unreal: rich, buttery goodness with just the right amount of bright, lemony zing to keep it from feeling heavy. Honestly, this might be the best hollandaise I've ever had. Absolute perfection! read more

I stopped by for a quick early dinner bite and not too busy. After looking over the menu I settled on The Fried Chicken Sando. You go to the counter to order and pay then they give you a number. Since I wasn't planning on being long I sat at the bar. It's a small bar that seats 4 with a tv in the corner playing NBA playoff game. The gentleman at the bar was friendly and immediately gave me a glass of water. The atmosphere of George & Kin has a cozy intimate diner vibe. The chicken sandwich didn't take long to come out and first thing I noticed was the sandwich size. Good thing it was cut in two because 1/2 was more than plenty for me. The chicken was fried but tender on the inside and was sandwiched in between some tasty bread. The sauce or slaw had a slight tangy Asian flavor which was interesting but enjoyable. I got my other half of sandwich to go as my belly felt topped off and I was ready to finish my errands. Overall first impression was good with service, ambiance and tasty food at a good value so I'll be back to explore more of menu. read more

The hollandaise sauce was curdled and had a sour taste, the carrot bread was undercooked in the middle and burned outside, the mimosa was served in a small juice glass, and the coffee was terrible. The ambiance is nice, but I didn't like the casual feel of ordering food at the counter, not to mention the long line waiting outside and many tables empty inside. I hope they improve some of these things, because it looks like the owners put a lot of effort into making the place feel like home. I'd rather go to a place where I get more personal service. I can go to McDonalds for a fast breakfast that I can order at the counter and cheaper. An $80 breakfast for two left me a bit disappointed. read more
