Absolutely love this place. The small atmosphere is lovely, the service is so welcoming and fantastic, and the food is fantastic. I always get the O.S.C.A.R. (Fried bologna and egg sandwich) and my girlfriend always gets the Cake Roll. O.S.C.A.R. - 10/10 Hashbrowns - 9/10 Side of Grit - 9/10 Cake Roll - 8/10 (but my girlfriend would give it a 10/10) This place is a must stop read more

My friend and I dropped by this place while visiting Memphis. I read the reviews and it seemed too good to pass up. I am so happy we went. The restaurant does not disappoint. The staff Greeted us with a warm welcome and treated us like family. The atmosphere is vibrant and quaint at the same time. I could see right into the kitchen. There was one chef and he was on point. The service was outstanding and the food... amazing. The portions are hearty, and everything is seasoned perfectly. I've never tasted grits so good. Anyway, I couldn't finish everything but boxes were provided for taking leftovers. The next time you're in Memphis, the place is worth checking out. Thanks again, Kitchen Laurel! T read more

Hidden Gem! If you ever want a restaurant with a down home welcoming feel stop here! The restaurant is run by a family(cousins, brothers sisters etc) we felt so welcomed and watched them do this for every customer we came in. Our server went over the menu with us and we got something for everyone. The drinks were delicious and the breakfast items were all so delicious. We enjoyed every last bit. read more

Easily one of the best breakfast spots in the city. Good location. Service was great. They have take and bake options. The Alberta breakfast was excellent so was the Grit and Grind. However the Alberta breakfast with the sweet potato waffle was untouchable. And the next time I go back I'm getting 4 of them. LMAO! read more

The parking is fair enough for the CY area. The servers were amazing and funny. Their menu is tremendously large but the food is amazing. I had the steak dish and the steak was cooked perfectly and a surprisingly large. read more

Kitchen Laurel - Breakfast potatoes instead of chips because....I'm a potato slut. - Personal Chefs Near Me

Best breakfast I have ever had. This spot was the perfect way to introduce Memphis to my family. We are in town for a funeral and I was worried they would not get to see all that is wonderful here. Sweet "T" greeted us with a smile and was the embodiment of the spirit of this city that feels like home. The food was simply mouthwatering. Homemade butter- Secret recipe sweet tea and syrup with a kick. Grits that need no toppings, locally sourced bacon and iced coffee with actual coffee ice cubes. Be sure to look at the menu board before you order because the specials look even better than the every day delight s. Do not pass go- eat there today. read more

I'm so glad we went to this cute little breakfast spot this past weekend. It's a little hole in the wall. There's probably 8 tables in there, but it's just so cute and the lady that waited on us was THE SWEETEST!!! I just loved the menus also, they are like a newspaper. The whole atmosphere was very cozy feeling. The food was pretty good also. The coffee is served in little tea cups. Super cute. I got the Alberta Breakfast which included a choice of any bread and I got the sweet potato waffle. Man, was that good!! I was also a fan of the grits. They are a different texture than normal grits. My son got a Cake Roll, which is breakfast sushi. It's fried in pancake batter. I was surprised at how good it was. I thought I got a picture of it, but guess not. Only thing odd about that was it is served with soy sauce and carrots that had been soaked in vinegar. My husband got the Hash it out. I almost got that. It has chorizo, sweet potatoes, beans and other stuff. I tried it and it was also good, but I don't think I could have given up that waffle! If you are ever in the area, try them out! We'll definitely be back. They also have pre made take and bake meals that sounded delicious! read more

The most delicious breakfast I have EVER had. And, the service was simply joyful. Thank you for bringing this delicious food to Memphis. The brown butter, the creamy grits, perfect eggs. WOW!!! read more

This comfort food with a creative twist is simply outstanding! You really should try the Sweet Potato Waffles--they're wonderfully fluffy and buttery, topped with candied walnuts, and they're truly a game-changer. The atmosphere feels welcoming and cozy, making you feel right at home. The staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in. Kitchen Laurel definitely ranks among the top breakfast spots in the city. read more

I simply cannot express how much I absolutely adored this place!! This place is family owned and you are treated like family from the moment you walk in! Their iced coffee has coffee cubes in it, which is such a pleasant surprise - especially in Memphis during the summer, when things are melting before you can close the freezer door. I ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy - the gravy was so good, but not the star of the show; that was the homemade biscuits. They are cooked to perfection and taste delicious, but they stand out because of their size and shape. They are so big and square shaped, to the point where they are almost cubes of biscuits; they were cooked to perfection despite their unique shape. I will absolutely return to Kitchen Laurel - amazing prices, tastes, and stellar customer service. read more

Kitchen Laurel is a charming spot that made for a delightful brunch experience. Despite needing last-minute seating for a group of nine, they accommodated us seamlessly, and the service was excellent throughout. The place itself is small but full of character, creating a cozy atmosphere. I had the Alberta breakfast with grits, turkey sausage, pancakes, and eggs for just $18--everything was delicious! We also tried the breakfast sushi rolls, which were interesting, though not the highlight for us. Parking was either street or a small lot on the side, so keep that in mind. Next time I'm in Memphis, I'll definitely return to try more of their menu. If you're looking for a welcoming spot with good food, check them out! read more

We were in Memphis three days and dined here twice. The food is off the chains. The pancakes are an inch thick each and the syrup is homemade and has black pepper in it. It works! The next day I had a waffle and it's a sweet potato waffle. Holy smokes was that thing delicious. The other people in the party enjoyed their meals as much as I did. Please support this small business and thank me later. read more

The food was amazing & the service was even better! Ty was so kind and very attentive. This was our first time here & it was lovely. I do not eat sweet potatoes unless they're in a homemade Mississippi pie, but this sweet potato waffle was mouth watering! It was cooked to perfection! Fluffy, buttery, & scrumptious. The candied walnuts on top were a perfect addition. The breakfast fried rice was yummy as well! We'll be back soon for the carry out chicken pot pie & another round of brunch! read more

There are not enough stars to give to this place. We're on vacation in Memphis. My partner looked this place up and off we went. she usually finds the best places. so we went the first day for breakfast. Then we went a second day with my band (I'm a musician) and friends who had flown down from Maine. On the third day, we all went back for even more. The staff, especially T, are wonderful and the food is next level. Sweet potato waffles, Southern fried breakfast sushi, the Alberta breakfast plate....all just amazing. People come to Memphis for Beale Street, the Star Museum, The National Civil Rights museum and should come for Kitchen Laurel. Right now I'm scheming on eating there again tomorrow before we leave. And they have deadly cookies and other items to take home and enjoy. I wish we could get the chicken pot pies to stay frozen until we finish our 550 mile drive home. Do yourself a favor and go there. And then go again. And then go again. Get the picture? It's just that good ............ read more

Check out my pics for menu and take away food. We were impressed! read more

Kitchen Laurel - Alberta Breakfast - Personal Chefs Near Me

I was waiting to be picked up while my car was being serviced, and I had a desire for a cup of coffee. I spotted two outdoor tables across the street, and I made a mad dash in hopes of some solace. I found more than that. Kitchen Laurel was a breath of fresh air, no joke. I was impressed with the service, their professional attitude, and the great cup of coffee, which hit the spot at the right time. Mine you, I went in for coffee, but I left with a scrumptious slice of Pumpkin cake. I know what you're saying, "WE don't eat pumpkin". Baby, I've been back twice for that pumpkin creme cake!! lol. Even more impressive, I was hosting a small business meeting, and had no one to cater the event. I reached out to Kitchen Laurel, and they advised me to talk with their chef. You guys know they came through!!! I can't say enough about this Black own business. I've already placed my Thanksgiving order for that Pumpkin 3-layer creme cake. I pray for continuous success for this business, and once you patronize them, you'll be doing the same. read more

I've been dying to try this place since I ran across them on Instagram but it's never worked out when we're in town until now. 10/10 for the sweet potato waffles and the shrimp and grits were one of the best I've ever eaten.

Kitchen Laurel - Hash It Out and Pancakes! - Personal Chefs Near Me

What a great lunch today. How wonderful to experience great food and service in the same place/time. First time at Kitchen Laurel and we will be back. All food was made fresh to order and the salad dressing was made from scratch. I typically am not a huge lover of cornbread so was a little reluctant to have the Cornbread Salad but OMG! It was a fantastic recommendation. it was like a piece of cake and then some. We would have purchased some to bring home but they currently do not sell it. My husband had the Hash It Out. Again he is not a huge fan of sweet potatoes but don't let that scare you off. Super yummy. Please support this new and locally owned spot. Cant wait to go back. read more

Delicious food, reasonable prices, nice chill environment, friendly staff, and a great experience all around! I had a hard time choosing because so many things sounded good.

Nice location in Midtown with plenty of street parking. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! read more

My S/O and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday, we came in about an hour after opening and were seated. This is a really cute restaurant. Their iced coffee has cubes of coffee in it, Next level IMO! I had their sweet potato waffles and my S/O had the cornbread salad. Both were delicious. The only downside to this place is the small dining room, but that can't be helped. Apparently, they do take reservations - Just FYI. read more
