This place is the real deal. Great service with a fantastic breakfast. Big portions. Lots of choices but make sure you choose the biscuits: they are about the best I've ever had. And since it is the south, I always go with pork chops and eggs. The home fries were perfect. The building is bare bones and old south. The portions are huge. read more

Very nice diner . Great menu and nice employees. Clean inside and plenty of seats in back room. Had the hamburger and it was tasty. I'll visit again and try more of the menu. read more

Wow - new favorite breakfast place in Monroe! Breakfast was delicious and the staff was super nice. The biscuits are amazing and I must admit the grits were almost as good as my mom's!! read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this may have been the best breakfast I have ever had. Everything from the coffee to the eggs to the hash browns were simply delicious. My coffee cup was always full and the waitress was always friendly. I would eat here everyday if I could. If I am ever on death row, this breakfast will be my last meal. read more

I knew the minute I walked in I was going to be happy. All the patrons were 55 and up - which means this place is a favorite with locals who will not put up with bad food. I got the usual breakfast, hash browns, 2 eggs, sausage, coffee and toast. It was reasonable. I gave a larger tip than usual. Servers need their pay. And I'll go back for lunch. It is not open for dinner. read more

Look - the place is plain and devoid of much character. It feels a bit like you are walking in an old infirmary and smells a bit like old bleached mop water and food. BUT. BUT the food is EXACTLY what you want and what they say it is: delicious, simple and hot. The prices are low. The staff are kind and welcoming, no pretentiousness or brusqueness. Good old-fashioned Southern kindness. I felt like I went back 35 years and I was traveling around N.C. with my Dad discovering little dives on the way up to Raleigh. Simply put: I love this place. read more

Places like this are disappearing in our progress toward bigger and better. Quality, personal service and just plain nice folks preparing simple and good food seem to be going away. Outside of the Monroe airport and along Hwy 74 is this little local eatery along side the highway. No big advertising or flash, it is noticeable by the number of cars parking around this building seemingly "in the middle of nowhere." Menu us breakfast and lunch all day, so long as it is between 4am and 3pm except for Saturdays when it closed at noon. Sundays and Mondays it is closed. Did I write 4am? Yes I did. A lot of the locals are farmers and run small businesses, so the Little Country Kitchen is one of the few places where you can get a sit-down meal in the wee hours of the morning. Local color, if I may, is the normal, hard-working folks who live around here, interspersed with those few outsiders who stop in for a visit. Simple layout which reminds me of a 1950s kitchen. There are two rooms for dining, underlining how popular and good this place really is. Menu has all the basics, and southern basics, like biscuits and country ham, not to be confused with the other hams smoked and cured outside of the old South. Portions are good and substitutes are the norm. Coffee and tea flow throughout your stay and your cup or glass never gets empty until it goes to the kitchen to be washed. Nothing fancy, check the specials board and enjoy the old time simplicity and warmth of a local eatery. read more

Little Country Kitchen lives up to its name. It reminded me of being in my mama's kitchen. The liver mush was perfection and grits well cooked, just add a little salt. The coffee kept coming and coming and coming, I was only below half a cup 1 time because she was cleaning the tables. I don't know how long this place has been here but I was born and raised in this area and this is my 1st Time here but certainly not my last. The biscuit was huge and I'm sad that I could not finish it. It was little crunchy on the bottom (not burnt) but super soft and fluff on the inside. Daily specials are posted on a chalk board in the back and along the glass case near the register. I also noticed that as of November 2017 they have an 'A' rating with a 99. read more

I love this place, take my mother there for lunch and they make you feel as if they already know you. I love it the food is very good

Very good breakfast food! Small older building "hole in the wall" looking place but service was good ! Again... Food was good; my husband said they were practicing very good cleanliness ! Fair prices; excellent portions ! Hot food! Will definitely be back! read more

County is right. This place reminds me of the diners my grandparents used to take me. Comfort foods served with a smile in nice portions so you won't leave hungry. I love the chicken & rice with peppers and onions or their giant grilled chicken salad. Daddy likes the county spaghetti (huge) and mama likes the meatloaf. 5am-3pm or something like that so this is a working man's diner with a community table that some of the local guys can sit with others. We like to eat here or take out once a week because its very affordable. NOTE bring cash for tips they can't add to a card. read more

We are in Monroe visiting from Pittsburgh, Pa. What a wonderful place! Huge portions, delicious food and by far THE BEST service! If you are in the area, this is a MUST!! read more

I'm a bit of a health food nut so I don't often eat a traditional American breakfast, but sometimes I just have to do it. One of my favorite breakfast splurges is biscuits and gravy and, believe it or not, it's not easy to find good B & G, but the biscuits and gravy here are excellent!! Fresh, homemade biscuits, lots of delicious sausage gravy... OMG, I'm salivating just thinking about it. Also my over easy eggs were cooked to perfection! The place is clean, everyone is super friendly, the service is fast even when they are really busy, and... I want more biscuits and gravy, please...!! read more

Great friendly staff. Food is delicious and is prepared quickly. Great white pepper gravy!
