    HOT COFFEE & COLD SLAW!
    Muddy E.

    Excellent dinner for dinner specials, homemade soups, world's BEST HOLIDAY AND REGULAR-DAY PIES too! Over the years I have come to live for their tuna on sourdough lunches! The staff is all about full service and getting their clients what they ask for, always full cup of great coffee and awesome fresh salads, exceptional breakfast ms as well!

    We stopped here for lunch along with another couple. First time here, and we'll be back! The food is home-made... everything was served hot and fresh, and tasted great. The menu is huge, with all kinds of options to choose from; Salads, Soups, Appetizers, Sandwiches, Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners... and lots of cakes, pies, and other desserts. The place has a "diner" feel to it, and I loved that. Our server was Caitlyn, and she was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Everyone in our party was happy with their meals and we agreed to visit again soon.

    Great place...I got an 8oz steakburger that was cooked perfect...The hand cut fries were super - nice and crispy...Lots of pie choices - I got chocolate peanut butter and it was tasty...Workers were friendly and the place was very clean...Would get the burger again though I'd like to try some of the other things as well...Looks like a lot of good comfort food.

    The staff was decent but the food was 'meh'. I had the cheesesteak and my mother had the Rueben. The Rueben was a 6/10 and the cheesesteak was a 4/10. They also had soup which came with the meal. I had cheese broccoli and my mother had some sort of meatball soup. Both were pretty good but the portion size was small. I ordered a slice of peanut butter pie; it was of decent size and tasted good but I was shocked they charge $5.99 for a piece of pie that consists of crust and pudding filling. Goodness knows what they charge for an entire pie! I don't know if I would ever go back. I should have ordered a burger or perhaps some fish.

    The all important salad selection

    So once again we were headed home from a softball tournament and were looking for dinner. Randomly and out of the blue my husband tells me he's already to stop. Being the Yelp elite person and riding shotgun, I was in the position to determine which restaurants we were coming up to. Grabbing my Yelp app on my smartphone and checking out location to see what restaurants lay ahead of us, I looked for something right off the freeway that had a menu posted which offered salads for me and anything my husband would eat. Ding ding ding ding. Winner winner chicken dinner! We were coming up on Kay's. It is right off the freeway. The menu is readily available online. It had good reviews. And it had diner style food with several salads for me to choose from. Within 5 minutes we were pulling off the highway and quickly making our way into Kay's parking lot. The location is convenient and the restaurant is quite plain. It is not at all fancy but coming home from a long softball tournament - we were not looking for fancy. We also were not dressed very well. We were quickly seated at a booth which I will describe as vinyl and plain. No complaints - it fit our needs. Once again it was nice to be coming out of a pandemic and have hard copy menus and condiments on the table. My husband quickly found what he wanted to eat and I was happy that there were actually several salads that would have made me happy. I also appreciated the fact that my diet cola came in a large tumbler with limited ice. My husband asked the waitress for help in picking between 2 items he was considering. He ended up ordering the grinder which also came with a side. He picked the dinner salad. I picked the steak salad having eaten chicken salads many nights in a row. Our drinks and the dinner salad were quickly brought to the table. My husband's salad was a generous portion with iceberg lettuce and various fresh vegetables on top. It was a hint of what was to come as everything was home made and made fresh to order. Shortly after my husband finished his salad, our entrees came out. My husband dug into his sandwich and was very pleased with both the quality and quantity of food. That was definitely his type of the sandwich! My steak salad was a good size and definitely filled me up. It was only iceberg lettuce, but it was fresh and plentiful and I find that preferable to wilted and sparsely given mixed greens. The steak was not the highest quality but it was made to order at medium rare. The portion was also nice and generous. Needless to say I ate every bite and also appreciated the fact that they had the cruets of oil and vinegar available. Soon enough we were on our way. We looked forward to getting back on the road and completing our trip. Kay was nice enough to ring us up at the hostess counter so we did not need to wait for our waitress to finish up at another table. I definitely would recommend eating here and would return again should the opportunity arise.

    Can you say "perfect eggs"? Holy smoke... I've had perfect eggs. I don't know what kind of sorcery…read morethis is- but I am in shock, and heaven. I do eggs over easy- and when you do this- you may get runny, or overcooked or a myriad of different hmmmmm moments. I ordered a basic breakfast, just eggs, bacon and toast. I had 4 pieces of scrumptious bacon, and the sweet server brought me a little side of sausage gravy- also to die for! Reasonably priced and there are many regulars here since many people were greeted as old friends. The building is off a main drag in Ashtabula, so hidden- and clearly--- these folks are here for food and family! I'm just here to find a perfect breakfast spot- and boy oh boy, did I ever! The only thing I'm missing is a small cot or couch to sleep in after having that awesome gravy- I'm sort of in a gravy coma right now- lol! If you're a little breakfast foodie you're in for a HUGE treat! The atmosphere is bustling and friendly, but not over the top trendy, like having a picnic with friends. You're here for this absolutely over the top food!!! I just hope the regulars don't run me out of here because I mentioned their little hidden Ashtabula gem... A must not miss. 10 stars for nothing less than EPIC food and stellar, quick, friendly service! Good news I won't forget the name!!

A lot of people in the party had to use their flashlights on their phones to even see. (It made a lot of us think the lights are dark to not show the food, or so people can get away with doing illegal activities.) Second; the food was subpar, claimed things were fresh when they clearly were not. Soda either didn't have enough flavor, or the machine was broken; everyone was saying how the soda tasted 'soapy'. Also being charged $12+ for small portions, barely any toppings/fillings, or for food that seemed undercooked/burnt. Someone in the party even had a hair in their food! The next couple days, almost everyone in the party started getting sick; not trying to full on blame this place, but it was the common denominator everyone went to. So, if you enjoy not seeing at all and like eating subpar bar food that can potentially get you sick, this is the place for you!

    ​I stopped here specifically because Burger King has built a strong brand name over the years, and…read morethe "WHOPPER" is usually one of my favorite go-to burgers. Unfortunately, this specific location failed to meet those corporate standards. ​Instead of a freshly cooked, well-assembled meal, I was served a cold burger where the patty was folded at a sharp 90-degree angle, leaving more than an inch of meat sticking straight out of the side of the bun. To make matters worse, the taste was highly unappealing and tasted off, forcing me to throw it out halfway through. If you are going to charge nearly $7 for a staple menu item, there needs to be some pride in assembly and quality control. Disappointing experience. ​To make matters worse, there wasn't even a rush when I ordered--there were no cars ahead of me or behind me in line. It felt like I was handed a leftover burger that had been thrown together during a previous rush hour and left sitting under a heat lamp for God knows how long, rather than being made to order. Serving a stale, poorly assembled burger just to get rid of old inventory shows a complete lack of care for the customer.

    I never experienced what I experienced there today. We wanted to order at the counter and they…read morerefused to take our order, we and other people who came in separately behind us were completely ignored even after asking out loud "Excuse me - can we get some service over here?" The manager waived her hand and told us order from the qiosk twice. I said: "no, I want you to wait on us" and she refused and shook her head no. The people behind us turned around and walked out. I was shocked and am not surprised that Burger King is doing bad. If I owned this franchise and heard that my employees were refusing to take counter orders I would fire them all on the spot. If you don't want to take orders at the counter from people who walk in then lock the door and put a sign on the door to not come inside.
