Me and my wife went to this restaurant on Sunday morning and it was good. I had the skillet and my wife the French toast. I like when a restaurant has sourdough bread for French toast. Food had flavor and service was great. The restaurant was a bit packed but the wait wasn't long. I will definitely come back to try the little small donut holes. I think the coffee does need to be better and bolder, regular coffee tasted like McDonald's coffee. Overall I had a good experience here and I was full. Price is good for the amount of food served. I will definitely come back and recommend trying this restaurant. read more

This is a smaller, but very popular place tucked away just north of downtown historic Frankfort, IL. The service was incredible. Our waitress Kristina was fantastic. We had some dietary restrictions at our table, so there were some special orders, and she absolutely nailed every single one of them. As soon as you had three sips from your coffee cup, she was there to offer you a refill. The table maintenance was impeccable. So many restaurants nowadays miss the mark on this. She was expedient, ultra friendly, without making you feel rushed. The food was cooked perfectly and for breakfast food, very delicious. I say that because I can't tell you how many breakfast restaurants screw up the very basic foods that compromise the simplest meal of the day, in my opinion. Yet, there are so many places that just don't get it right. Kup A Joe definitely is not one of those places. The portions were massive, and well worth the money! If you were looking for a place to go to have a nice sit down breakfast, this is your spot! Well done! read more

Oh Joe, What happen to you. This place went down hill so fast My coffee mug had an OLD STAINED RING on it before I drank it! and you charged me for it! So you dont wash your mugs anymore? Calling the helth department on this 1 Place somhow is even louder than I remeber. Waitress sucked. And then when the food came out, there was a chip on my plate!! WTF? Another call to health Inspector. Time to change the name again!! read more

Nice, friendly management. Food is good with a lot of variety. Gets busy and you may have to wait a few minutes to be seated

Great food and service! Rate it 4 stars. The food was served quickly and hot. Excellent service! read more

Restaurant is a bit small but they offer outdoor seating. My waitress was Alicia. She was nice and attentive. It was first time so she recommended some things. I ordered the roast beef benedict. I substituted the egg McMuffin with a croissant. The sandwich would've been better is the beef was more flavorful. I didn't take any seasoning on it. Hashbrowns were cooked like I wanted. This place isn't great. I would give them another try. read more

What a gem!!! My husband and I had lunch at Kup A Joe for the first time today. We were so pleased with everything!!! The food was so delicious and fresh. The best chopped salad, Reuben and Lemon rice soup, that we have ever had !!!! And the pastry offering was fresh and delish!!! The server and the table assistant were so pleasant, friendly and efficient. I'm sorry I don't remember their names. But along with the delicious food they really made our lunch date such a fabulous experience. The owner Jason was so friendly too!!! Kudos to Jason for running a top notch establishment. We will definitely be back the next time we head out to Frankfort Illinois!!! read more

Went there for breakfast on Sunday and I ordered eggs, scrambled covered and onions and hashbrowns with onions very well done and coffee and my bride ordered a make your own omelette and ordered it well done with a side of fresh fruit. Everything was better than just good and the owner came over and sat down and talked with us for a while. Their coffee is exceptional and we took a double chocolate muffin home for a snack later and it was delicious as well. This is an easy five star. read more

was the BESTTTT skillet and avocado toast my boyfriend and I have ever had, I got the Caprese skillet and my boyfriend got the Avocado toast with bacon bits on top. We were welcomed with blueberry scones right when we were sat at our table. Plus, our server was veryyy nice and always made such we had everything we needed. Another big thing we noticed was how quick our food came out. The location is in a cute little stip of stores. YOU CAN NOT FORGET ABOUT THE COFFEE, i got the salted caramel latte (VERY YUMMY) read more

Second time here and devoured it. The portions are not small, so make room!! I got the breakfast tacos that's just chorizo and eggs with toppings. I asked for my toppings on the side this time around. Idk, I just wasn't a fan of all my toppings on the tacos. I did add some Cholula to give it some spice. We ordered The Hangover Breakfast and it was fire! The chicken was welled seasoned. Eggs done perfectly and the sausages were thiccc. -- there's a cozy coffee bar/diner bar! but booths and tables are an option to accommodate families. Merch for sale, and friendly, attentive staff! We'll be back here... with stretchy sitting pants. read more

Second time here and similar experience...Walk in and seated very nicely.But the waitresses in each experience took care of customers that were seated after us and treated them with better service...Everyone got their food and we waited 20 minutes afterwards...Second hand service...Shameful read more

The food was delicious and the presentation of the food is amazing. I ordered avocado toast and a side of bacon it was delicious and the bacon was cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very attentive. It's not a big place but very cozy like a family gathering. read more

The service was great! They start you off with munchkin donuts that were good! I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benny and it was delicious. It was so good I forgot to take a picture :( They also have mimosas and drinks that are available which was nice and unexpected to be honest. They have bakery goods that looked very good and tempting. Definitely a place to check out. read more

Pumpkin pancakes are so yummy!! We had a great breakfast and the service is exceptional and atmosphere is cute and clean. Will try to get back again whenever in the area! read more

Went early and had no problem seating, was filling up when we left.Food was delicious, ,service great. Definitely will be back.

By far the worst breakfast I've had in years. Potatoes were half burnt and half undercooked. Everything was SALTY. Someone needs to throw out the chicken base. Two bites and there was no way I was even trying to make it work. The French toast sampler also underwhelming. Everything was just not toasty enough and too sweet. Even the coffee drinks were sad. Of course I drank it anyway...it was coffee. This place is a hard pass for me. Only positive...the waitress was very sweet, saw I wasn't eating and offered to try fixing it. read more

Kup a Joe is a cute little breakfast restaurant in downtown Frankfort. We came on New Years Eve for breakfast and only had to wait a few minutes for a table. I started with the mocha latte. It was good, but tasted more like a hot cocoa. I ordered the brie omelet with gluten free toast as my meal. The cheese was perfectly melted on top and it was delicious. My friend ordered the country steak and eggs. They brought him biscuits and gravy. The waitress was very apologetic and fixed the issue right away. He enjoyed his meal once he received it, although mine got cold while i waited for his. We will be back, definitely when the weather gets better and patio opens so we can sit outside. read more

This is a cute little cafe in old Frankfort. The food is very fresh and well prepared. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The problem I have with this place (especially in the colder months) is that they basically have cafeteria style seating.... Meaning most of their tables are pushed together, and unless you have a large party, it's very likely that you will be sitting at a long table with other groups. It can be a little awkward especially if you're trying to have a somewhat private meal. The summer is a little better because they have patio seating available and it's quite lovely. Also... prices are a bit high especially for a breakfast restaurant. read more

Delicious food with very friendly service. Would definitely eat here again. Tasty seasonal drinks as well.

This place is so quaint. The food is good and service is always friendly and nice food was quick. Wish they had smaller portions for the days when I can't finish it all but they're doing the menu and kinda excited to see what they do. I will keep going back and if your in our quaint little town good place to stop in for the price. I don't think you will be displeased read more

We tried this breakfast place Saturday morning - easy to find, parking was ample and there was no wait, we were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress Christine was friendly and quick to take our orders. The coffee was excellent, the breakfast bacon sliders were delicious, the hash browns were some of the best I've had! Prices were very reasonable. Would visit again and definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the area. read more

The food was good and the portions are large. Service was not good, on a weekday morning. I think our waitress was having a bad day. My first time there so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. My biggest complaint is they charge $4.50 for a cup of coffee, it's sort of a hidden charge, instead of raising food prices they hit you with a huge price for an average cup of coffee. read more

Have tried this place strictly for carry outs so I cannot truly talk about inside service. They have seemed to have a change in ownership but still in same family I believe. First breakfast the items I have tried have been your standard fare and was good. It was packed good for travel. I have noticed the lunch sandwiches have gotten smaller since change. The big minus is they are much higher in prices than other breakfast/lunch places in the area. On top of that they charge extra for carry out orders. Will no longer be my first go to place I'm sorry to say. read more

We love this place for breakfast at noon! We both had the custom made omelette with goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms, it was absolutely delicious! I also had a latte which was super hot, usually when u order a specialty coffee somewhere it's luke warm. read more
