Busy place. Food was just as expected. Nothing out of the ordinary but the experience was great due to outdoor dining and watching their flexibility and efficiency. read more

Great spot for breakfast! Nice place with nice patio area. Great bloody Maries, too! Biscuits and gravy and Eggs Benedict are especially tasty! read more

The Coffee Pot - Diners Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This place brings an instant feeling of nostalgia when you walk through the door. The menu is a mix of customary diner food and interesting sounding specials. Their short order cook is spectacular. I had biscuits and gravy this time out; really well done. Tasty Bloody Mary. I feared their quality would decline when they expanded the size of the premise. Nothing could be further from the truth. They only do breakfast and lunch. Outdoor seating in the summer is available. read more

The Coffee Pot - After the craft fair with Elena - Diners Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

The Coffee Pot has been here (I remember the distinctive sign from my childhood) forever. This is the one-of-a-kind, charming local joint that I just love. The new (ish) owners are keeping that vibe alive with some of the best food in town. I was over the moon eating the smoked salmon benedict. It came with home made bread that was the best I've had in ages. Skip the chain restaurants, and come to the Coffee Pot for fabulous food and great a great local vibe! read more

this is one of the most amazing little breakfast spots in Kenosha. Employees are friendly and the environment is a great atmosphere for families. read more

Excellent little breakfast place in Kenosha. Great location by the lake so you can go on a nice walk if the weather permits. Check out the house made oatmeal bread! Very cute location and outdoor seating available in the warmer months read more

I love this place. I've been here about 5 times, and all but one has been good. The service is typical diner, not exactly stellar, but they are busy busy busy. One time it took me forever to get service, and it seemed like I was sitting in the no-waitress area. The food has always been excellent. The Corn Beef Hash is out of this world. And the homemade bread is superb. Otherwise, the fare is pretty standard breakfast diner, good, greasy, just like it should be. Bottom line, definitely well worth it. More seating than that "other" place downtown, but it fills up just as fast. Get there early. read more

Never got a chance to eat, sat in line for 20 minutes, sat down at the table and was told cash or check only.... what are we living in the 50's??? For all the business that comes Into that place the simple fact that a credit card fee is too expensive is downright unbelievable. The food looked great but beware of the only sign hanging above the bar for cash only. I don't know if I'll be back, too much of a hassle and almost didn't have a way to pay to eat. Get with the times!!! read more

If you want a breakfast in Kenosha worth remembering, the Coffee Pot has such a great selection of all the traditional breakfast dishes, and then there's their own unique creations. Reuben Onlett? Corned Beef Hash? Stuffed French Toast - YUM! The Coffee Pot has you covered. For LUNCH, there is always some new creation that owners Julie Zorn and Janis Barnhill have cooking up for their customers. Check out my FULL review at https://262eats.com/the-coffee-pot read more

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this place before last week! The staff are friendly enough but to be fair it was busy. I sat in a booth with a friend and while this place is pretty small we didn't feel cramped at all. My friend had tea and I had coffee, he also ordered a Rueben. My review is based on the service, the environment, location, and the coffee. I will be back very soon, I loved The Coffee Pot. I felt as if we were overstaying our welcome after being there awhile but they kept filling up my coffee without hesitation. I enjoyed this place. read more

Hubby and I stopped here on a whim. I'm so glad we did. Hubby ordered the stuffed French toast which was delicious. He also ordered the hash which was very good. I ordered the vegetable omelette. It was stuffed with an abundance of vegetables and cheese. Everything was fresh and delicious. read more

Voted best corned beef hash in America and it lived up to it and then some! Followed up with biscuits and gravy, you can't go wrong. The sausage gravy is like the waters of Babylon flowing over the pyramids of Giza, it should be listed at the eighth wonder of the world. Eating the eggs Benedict was like being French kissed by an angel. No joke. If your of age, I can't recommend the Bloody Mary enough, its the perfect blend of everything good in this world, it could even turn Bloody Mary herself into mother Theresa. read more

Not impressed. We stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Kenosha. Mediocre food, horrible coffee(Torke) and bad service. I ordered the veggie Benedict served with awful cold, soggy hash browns. We proceeded to pay the bill and where told cash or check only......really?? I never saw this posted, nor was it ever mentioned to us before ordering, pretty inconvenient. Wish we would have went some where else. read more

Great coffee, great space, great service, great breakfast. Compared to the crowd standing for hours to get breakfast at Frank's I believe heading over here was an excellent decision. Don't get me wrong, Frank's is many layers of great, but food was equally good here and the stress level (and fumes) were much more acceptable. Would return any time. read more

Amazing. Simple. Home cooking breakfast. Best homemade bread and friendly atmosphere. Don't complain about it being cash and check only. NO Wi-Fi!!! Yesssss!! You don't need to be on your phone to eat so stop complaining about it. Always worth the drive from IL read more

We are locals, but don't get here often. My eleven year old son and I stopped in for an early breakfast before school. The place already had a decent crowd by 6:45am on a Friday! My son ordered the 'short stack' of pancakes (he almost ordered the 'tall' but was advised that the pancakes were pretty generously-sized. Boy were they! He said they were the best pancakes he ever had. He almost plowed through both of them, but we took a portion home for later. We both ordered a side of bacon and that was also exceptionally yummy! Nice thick pieces and cooked exactly right! The Coffee Pot is also a gem because it's a great, vintage diner type place. Fun ambiance! In the warmer months, they also have a nice area with outdoor seating. This place is always busy, but it seems (especially on weekends) that people just don't mind the wait! My son says: The food was great! read more

Very nice old school,diner. Breakfast film noir style biscuits and gravy. Eggs sunny side up. Black coffee. waitress calls you ' honey'

We stopped in because we love diner like establishments and the joint was full in an area full of empty restaurants at prime brunch time. Soooo... to say the least the food was 5 Stars and the wait staff was a 10! If you're in Kenosha and you don't stop here, you're missing out! read more

About what we expected, very good diner food for a reasonable price. Eggs were little overdone, homemade toast is good but thick. Slow on refills. We'll be back! read more

My sister wanted us to experience this great, old fashioned cafe. We waited for a while but the atmosphere was casual and we enjoyed chatting before being seated. We all had different breakfast items and they were all good. Service was top notch and the atmosphere clean and fun. read more

First time I've ever been here. We had a group of three. During our time we had three different servers. None of them asked how the food or drinks were while we ate. The eggs were gross and the Bloody Mary was the worst I've ever had. Our food took 30minutes to come out, the folks next to us ordered after us and got their food before us. A server set down our check, and told us there was no rush. Another came over to finally ask how everything was. I then saw a large bunch of servers eating behind us at the counter. When we went to pay with car we were informed it's a cash only restaurant, I never saw a sign that mentioned this. Overall it was a bad experience, doubt we will be back. read more

Worst service my wife and I have ever had, went there for lunch today and our waitress didn't only mess up and give our food to a different table they brought it back into the kitchen threw it way because the other table said it wasn't their order and then never brought out two out the three meals we placed and then when confronted about it they blamed it on the new waitress that it was her fault she messed up the orders, and then said we'll get your meals going now cause they never even realized they hadn't brought out two of our three meals ordered! Will never dine there again as this just sealed the deal that no one there can take ownership of their mistakes and fix promptly! read more

Ok, it's Kenosha. But it's called the coffee pot and the don't serve real cream with your coffee. And the strawberries are frozen. I don't know. I was expecting something a little more wholesome. That said, it's a cute and quaint little diner with plenty of outdoor seating located near the harbor. And cash is king. But you will enjoy your experience. read more

The Kingfisher Bennie is to die for. One of my favorite breakfast dishes anywhere. We have eaten here many times and are never disappointed. Such a cute little place in Kenosha! read more

I cannot believe I haven't written a review for The Coffee Pot yet... I used to live right down the street from this restaurant, so my husband and I would frequent this restaurant quite often. I am so glad that they were able to expand their dining area to the building next door- they desperately needed the space! I always order the Eggs Benedict special; it usually changes to add a different meat or different element. They are ALWAYS amazing. An added bonus is that they have gluten-free bread options, so I am able to order their specials even if they are something that contains French toast. The staff are great, the ambiance is great for a weekend morning out, and it's right by the downtown lakefront. I highly recommend ordering something from the specials menu! read more

Relaxed outdoor seating, good coffee, delicious breakfast, and pleasant wait staff. Plus $4 Mimosas! Remember to bring cash as they don't accept credit cards. read more

We use to come here years ago when it was Bob's with our dad when were little. It was nice to stop in while in town. The wall might have changed but still that warm welcome feel. The food was amazing! read more

We came here this summer. Well worth the wait. I dream about eating breakfast here again. We had he blueberry zucchini french toast. MY GOD so so good!! read more

I met with a friend here as a halfway point for Sunday brunch and this place was hopping. The waitlist was a bit unorganized since there's only one lady with a clipboard and it's also the only lady who calls you when your table is ready and seats you. So if you are just arriving, it's really hard to actually track her down and get your name on the list. Moving past that, the food here is great. I had the homemade corned beef hash and eggs and it came with a side of homemade toast. Fantastic!! My friend ordered their french toast special, which utilizes their homemade bread. For those that care, the coffee is pretty standard and nothing special. They have an outdoor patio as well, but we sat indoors because that was what was available. One key thing to note is that this place is CASH ONLY. I was not aware but luckily had cash on me. They also have an atm in the back somewhere. Highly recommend the corned beef! read more

This place has been around for years. The food is okay but they need to add an omelet with a vegetable or two in it. Yes it can get crowded so the wait may be long. The Bloody Marys are good but the food needs to be better. The service here rates better than the food. There are better places to go in fact one is just across the street to the south. read more

We have been here several times and each time has been excellent. The breakfast is awesome. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The wait can be long sometimes, but worth it. I love the homemade toast and French toast. My husband and I only get the breakfast, haven't tried the brunch items yet. The remodeling/add-on was a great addition. Just a good place with nice staff and great customer service. read more

While at coffee pot this morning I had the most amazing experience. The staff was so attentive and made sure my group was never empty. EVERY SINGLE thing we asked for was given to us sanitized and we were very pleased to see the social distances between tables and counter seating. 100% recommend. I will be back tomorrow for my biscuits and gravy fix read more

Came here on Sunday morning for breakfast while visiting Kenosha for the day. The place was crowded but the very friendly staff got us seated in less than 5 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to discover there was a full bar offering really good Bloody Mary's garnished with BACON. We ordered one of the breakfast specials caramel apple stuffed French toast, a ham & cheese omelette and a two egg breakfast. Everything was terrific and the service was outstanding. read more

As expected based upon others reviews, the place was definitely packed for a Tuesday morning. The staff was pleasant, seated us right away. The coffee was hot and decent, and our waitress was fairly pleasant. The food, quite frankly, was just not very good. I had a plate they are known for, something along the line of a breakfast skillet, with hash browns, eggs, sausage and peppers. The only thing with any flavor was the jalapeno that mistakenly made its way on my plate. I added salt and pepper so I could taste something. Very disappointing, dry beyond belief with no flavor. A highlight was the homemade bread, which was a nice parking place for jam. I will try it again to see if I just had an off day, but in all honesty I could have had better food at Perkins, which says a lot.... read more

The food here is really good. However the major selling point is the outside dinning is to die for. My mom and I walk our dogs and then we bring them here so we can eat. They are prepared for you and your pup with water dishes!! read more
