This place has was very friendly and inviting. It was my first time there and I ordered a few Vietnamese sandwiches and the breakfast bagel sandwich. Coming from the Bay Area, their prices are super affordable and the food was great! It exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh and the sandwiches were full of flavor. The owners were extremely welcoming. This will be my new spot to come back to. Support our local businesses! read more

I love this place. The new owners are so nice and the food is so good. Thank you Jackie and vanna for an amazing breakfast and conversation. We will be back so many times read more

Love the new owners! Absolutely excited that Salida has some Vietnamese food in this neighborhood! Hopefully once this pandemic is over they can go fully open because I am excited for pho, banh mi and Vietnamese coffee. Not only are they bringing classic American southern foods to the menu like chicken fried steak and donuts for breakfast but bringing a little bit of diversity to our small town. Absolutely excited for this new business! Their coconut slush with Boba is bomb.com read more

Great place, good food, good service. Only thing was I barely fit in the bathroom. Try the chicken fried steak challenge... read more

You must go here. Family owned. Small town eatery. New owners Jackie and Vanna are very nice. The donuts are very very good. I ate one with me coffee there and ate 2 more at home! Wanting to try the Hawaiian shaved ice next read more

Great food and the gentleman running the restaurant is incredibly welcoming. I would highly recommend.

I love this place. Words or a review can't describe how much I love this place. I love all the farmer's cups hanging near the register and coffee machine. This place is a hidden jewel. My favorite is the Chicken Fried Chicken and the country potato's. The biscuits and gravy are delicious. The pancakes are fluffy and delicious. Great breakfast place. This place closes at 2pm....so don't sleep in! read more

This place has your classic breakfast/brunch items with no sugar-coating. They had great french toast, omelettes, chicken fried chicken (yes it was actually called chicken fried chicken), and breakfast burritos. I came here with my cousins and we all thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. The service was so great and attentive. My cousin is a vegetarian and ordered the breakfast burrito with no meat, but the kind waiter offered to fill her burrito with veggies instead and she was so happy that was an option! My only small complaint is that the syrup was kind of slimy looking. It didn't taste bad, but it was really thick and looked different. If you're interested in a classic breakfast that isn't fancy, this is the place to go! And if you finish their huge chicken fried steak you get your picture posted up on the wall! read more

This place was ABSOLUTELY delicious! It's quaint, comfortable and the service is friendly!! We loved our server!! Feel just as if you were eating in the comfort of your own home. I shared their signature dish- kountry fried steak with two other people and it was MORE than enough. We didn't even finish it!!! It did not disappoint. It was REAL steak, not the ground stuff and so delicious and filling! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the are. Skip the chain stuff and give this place a try!! Also, help get them on Man VS. Food for their Kountry Fried Steak challenge!!! read more

I've visited Modesto a few times now, and this is by far my favorite spot in Modesto now! One of the best brunches I've had, amazing service, home like environment! I ordered French toast, with one sausage one bacon piece! He ordered chicken fried chicken with hash and toast, which was sooooo good, and I also ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuit. Was. HUGE! And delicious!!!!! The only mediocre thing about this place was the orange juice. And I'm ok with that. Coming back next time we're up here! read more

I know my church comes here one Saturday once a month at 8 am. With a 6 year old and a 2 year old in tow, it never happens, so when the Pastor asked me to go to lunch with him I was pleased to be walking here. With such a large menu it was hard to decide. But I went with the Grilled Chicken Wrap with grilled chicken, lettuce, cheese, and tomato with Ranch dressing for my lunch yesterday The chicken was good and fresh, not like it had been sitting out, it was very filling. I asked for fresh fruit as my side and it ended up being canned peaches... We are in the Central Valley where there's fruit stands a plenty, and there's no need to serve canned fruit. MEH! I'll be back to try other things but won't be asking for fruit. read more

I've had the banh mi here and it is always fantastic . My daughter had the donut breakfast sandwich and said it was her new favorite breakfast sandwich. The owners are always so nice and make me and my family feel so welcome. Couldn't hardly recommend it more. read more

Food is excellent, doughnuts are good... the owner is very very friendly, very warm and welcoming. Food reminds me of home cooking. Some of the negative reviews seem to come from people who came to this place when the previous owners were there and they may have had a different expectation. Overall between the hospitality and the food, my wife and I will continue to come here. Instead of going to large franchise/corporate diners, go support your local small businesses! read more

Wonderful little diner with awesome breakfast options. Although it took a little long to get our plates out, it is worth the wait. The food is as close to home made as you can get. The staff is friendly and welcoming. You have to try this place out. Large family style portions seem to be the theme. We had a split plate of the chicken fried steak. It was deliciously satisfying. read more

Great little spot to stop for a donut and a chat. Owner is friendly and creative. Try a breakfast sandwich with a warm donut bun! Sweet and savory. read more

This was the greatest place in the area. Homemade country breakfast with amazing portions and excellent food. The owners retired and sold to what is there now and it is basically a vietnamese donut and sandwich shop. The breakfast is horrible. So sad that a Salida icon is gone. Don't be fooled, this is no longer your mom and pops place. read more

Visiting from out of state. Googled FOOD NEAR ME and this restaurant popped up along with Denney's. That's a no brainier for me...picture of the restaurant screamed home cooking! Small and homey. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by 2 employees - I have hip surgery next week and walk with a bad limp. Employee showed genuine concern for my condition and got me a seat right away. I was happy to see breakfast served all day - SCORE! Ham and egg scramble with country potatoes and toast. It was amazing! I hate when chain restaurants put pancake mix in eggs to fluff them up. The eggs here we're au natural and perfect for an egg lover. The ham was good quality and not the cheap fatty ham you get elsewhere. The food was served hot and fast. The prices were reasonable. I'm very pleased Google led me here. Great home cooked meal read more

Came back after a decade. New owners are nice. Not even close to the same food. Chicken fried steak and eggs were horrible with a water based gravy and zero flavor. My wife and I both left half the food on the plate, and it wasn't because if portion size. Wont be coming back unless it's for a donut read more

Looking for breakfast and others were busy with long wait time. Found this local place and food was very good and my omelette delicious. Pancakes and waffles the wife and kids had were fluffy and they loved them. Polite family owned and we will be back to try other plates. Thanks read more

I was really disappointed today as I didn't realize there was new owners . But that said I didn't expect it to be the same ,but it was not good at all and it wasn't anything memorable and I wouldn't come back. I had to butter my own toast and didn't find the butter until it was already cold . The eggs were the only thing good ,the bacon was very fatty and I barely could eat that . I don't usually leave reviews but I was really disappointed. Also you need to get new menu's . read more

What a hidden gem! It's a mom-and-pop restaurant in Salida with a very wide and varied (and I mean really wide) menu. They offer American diner food, Asian doughnuts, Banh Mis, Boba drinks, quick breakfast run items like croissant and bagels, etc. But don't let that multi-cultural menu trick you, their dishes and food items taste delicious! We went here on a Wednesday at 10AM and the place was packing, it was unbelievable. Dine-in and to-go customers were in and out the whole time we were there! Must be a popular local favorite. We ordered their famous chicken fried steak, cheeseburger, waffles and country biscuits and have no regrets. The food was so much better than any American diner chains in the area. Even the Colombian coffee was legit! Best part of it all was the service from the couple (who I assume were both owners), and the $30 tab (for all that food!). I would have paid $50 elsewhere for a less scrumptious meal. This place is definitely recommended! read more

Sadly, SKK has closed its doors, perhaps permanently. We all hope for the best for Geary, and all the employees of SKK.

I love the chicken fried steak challenge. Not for the challenge, but for the super huge portion. The chicken fried chicken is also do die for. It's much smaller, but the flavor is just as wonderful. read more

Good place for a family meal. Some parking and close to 99. Clean and freshly painted.

Big portions, great traditional mom and pop shop. Only reason for the 1 star reduction is due to the wait. It was a Sunday rush hour, however, so will update upon returning visit(s) read more

I always enjoy eating here. The decor has changed, but the food and service are still outstanding. I usually either get eggs with sausage patties or an omelette with a biscuit and gravy. It is enough food that I am usually too full or lunch. The chicken fried steak is an experience for anyone who is brave enough to order it... I think that it is about the size of a manhole cover! read more

First time here , everyone here is super polite and big smiles. I love it. I ordered the French toast , it was super good . My husband ordered the chicken steak , it was pretty good, but I was expecting more, I guess because of the hype. I think it's more the size that is amazing. I will definitely be giving this place another try. Can't wait to try other recommendations. Everything was really good. read more

Food was delicious! It was pretty busy. My pick up took 30 mins, not bad at all. I saw People waited about 15 mins to be seated. Can tell this is a family owned business because they looked dedicated in there. I loved breakfast today thank you salidas!! read more

Five stars for a local breakfast/lunch spot. Famous for their 1 pound chicken fried steak. See photos. The owner said they start with 1 pound steaks and double dip them in a buttermilk batter and deep fry them. They probably weight closer to 2 pounds by the time they're cooked. Comes with your choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes and three eggs. And choice of toast or biscuits and gravy. This is a farmers/working mans breakfast. Being inactive, I could not eat this much very often. Maybe once a month. But I was craving it today and pretty much finished it off. The place is for sale. Sad. The current owners have been there for 10 years and want to retire. The chef has been there for eight years! Hopefully the new owners will not change a thing because this place is a gem. Stockton has Chuck's, Salida has Salida's Kountry Kitchen! My breakfast was not inexpensive... $17 and change. But you get what you pay for here. The average person probably could not finish the meal. The owner offered me a to go box halfway through and I told him no, I think I can do it. lol and I did a pretty damn good job! If any of this floats your boat, hurry up and go before they change hands so you can get the traditional breakfast. The owners are super friendly. I really enjoyed talking to them. They are open seven days a week till 2 PM. Go for Father's Day but expect a wait. read more

If you order a chicken fried steak make sure you starve yourself the night before your visit or bring a friend. The steak covers the whole extra large size dinner plate. I am not kidding I have to go back and take a picture of that piece of 10 to 12 inch piece of meat; about half to 3/4 inch thick. Oh yeah I going to be back; because this big dog gotta eat. read more

First off Coffee was great hot and strong, on a rainy Friday it was what we needed. I ordered the famous chicken fried steak the hash browns and eggs came all by them self on a platter, and then the chicken fried steak showed up! This thing is huge, the platter was hidden by the size of the steak! You think that this is a gimmick and the CFS would not have flavor or it would be tough, but this thing was cooked perfect. Crispy flakey crust seasoned perfect the chicken fried steak was tender and easy to cut and delicious. I was able to eat half of it with the crispy hash browns and eggs plus sourdough toast! Taking the rest home to eat in the privacy of my own home! read more

Salida's Country Kitchen - Famous Chicken Fried Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salida, California

The Salida Kountry Kitchen is a locally owned restaurant in downtown Salida. We usually go early because it gets pretty busy in the mornings. They are also open at lunch time but closed in the evenings. This is a great place to go for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday and are home to the famous "Chicken Fried Steak." It's a very casual place, and it's nothing fancy but it is fantabulous! Their Chicken Fried Steak is huge and by huge I mean it comes out on it own plate (small oval platter). Either my husband or I order it and we usually don't even eat half of it... (it can easily be spit by 4 hungry adults) I did get smart though and started asking for the Country gravy on the side then we reheat it at home and it's almost as good as in the morning, The meal comes with a biscuit (the size of a baseball), potatoes and eggs and is a little under $14.00. They have a lot of traditional breakfast foods on their menu that are equally good, but if you like, really like or love Chicken Fried Steak, give this place a try. read more

Came in this morning with the honey for a quick breakfast. He had the chicken fried steak I had the french toast. HOLY SHIT! I have never in my whole life seen CFS that big! It was the size of the plate! It came with eggs and hashbrowns, plus a GIANT biscuit and a cup of gravy. My french toast could have been better but the eggs were delish and they serve Mr.Pibb. Next time were in town, we'll be back. read more

When it comes to breakfast, you have two types of places. 1. The kind of cute little brunch place you'd take your grandma to. They serve tea in little cups with saucers, and have creative names for all their dainty dining options. You see phrases like 'free range' and 'gluten free' in the menu. They probably have a picket fence, and a garden-like setting. 2. Artery-clogging, butter drenched, grease pits. They call their dishes exactly what they are. Bacon and eggs isn't called 'The Susanna' or 'Piggly Wiggly and the Sunny Side'. It's call Bacon and freakin' Eggs. This is the kind of place Ron Swanson would be proud of. This is the place that the old guys meet at in the morning to swap stories, where they have plates the size of bistro tables, and where they look at you funny when you ask 'Is this organic?' This kind of place gives Michelle Obama chills. If you ask for a kale and egg white omelette, the 300lb. cook just might come out and slap you silly. I'm not sure if you've put it together yet, but Salida's Kountry Kitchen falls soundly into category #2. Food is great, waitresses call you 'hon. You probably grew up going to a place just like this. You will walk out more of an American than you walked in. read more
