Good food. Decent coffee. Exactly what I expect from a diner. Brittany, my server, was friendly and accommodating. 'Substituted a side salad for hash browns with my omelette. The kitchen was quick. A comfortable and convenient cafe along side the Yorkshire Inn & Suites. read more

So good in all ways! Stayed at the motel next door and went in for a dinner for pick up. Chopped steak dinner with extra crispy French fries and veggies. The gal taking my order was incredibly friendly and offered me a large cup of ice water while waiting. When my food was ready, very quickly, she refilled my water. The food was great! Highly impressed! Keep up the great work! read more

Our first here. Us and 2 other customers here at 8 oclock next door to hotel. Hmmm. Special request, surprise, of burned pancake and hash browns/onions, and 2 eggs medium. Orange juice drink, coffee. Nice lady attending brought a large pot of coffee. Unusual and very good. Really nice work from kitchen staff here. Pancake is nice dark, hash browns pretty much same but what really helped here is fresh chopped red onions on the tators. 5 Stars for that and my dark pancake. read more

Excellent breakfast specials that include free coffee of you are nice. Pancakes the size of your head and don't be shy with the syrup.

Located just off I-80 in York,Nebraska, The Kitchen offers easy access and large parking area. We were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. The restaurant offers accommodations for larger groups. The restaurant is clean and the menu offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options all day long at very reasonable prices. We decided to go for the fried chicken understanding that because it's me to order there's about a 25 minute wait. During that time we enjoyed a crisp house salad and hearty homemade beef soup. Our server was exceptionally attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend The Kitchen if you happen to be in the area for a great diner experience read more

Always friendly staff and delicious food. We make a special stop on our way through the state most times. The chicken fried tenderloin with the loaded hash browns is a family fave. But I'm partial to the breakfast items. Either way, we have never had a bad time. read more

Server was kind & attentive. The service was great and didn't even have to wait too long, dining area was clean. Restroom was clean. & most important the food was 10/10. We got Jalapeños Poppers, Mushroom Burger-side of Sweet Potato Fries, & a Chicken Salad. They are not greedy with their proteins lol If you like a juicy & flavorful homemade meal - this is your place! read more

They only had one server, but she did an excellent job taking care of the table. Very good service and clean restaurant food was very good

We hadn't eaten here for several years & decided we should today. It was a great decision! The place is clean & the staff is very nice. My wife & I ordered the Ultimate B&G. It had 4 homemade biscuits & gravy, hash browns & eggs any style. We had scrambled eggs. The portions are huge, the price is great & the food was perfect. You can order breakfast all day. Our waitress never let our drinks get low. If you are traveling, I 80 through York Nebraska pull off to the north and give them a try! read more

THEY DO NOT HAVE FRIED CHICKEN. Don't make the same mistake we did. We drove here specifically for Fried Chicken. The chicken tenders were just ok. My husband liked his fish. read more

It took 33 minutes to get this water. My burger was cremated, my girlfriend's hashbrowns were raw. Terrible service, inedible "food," save your time and money. read more

I had veggie skillet sautéed veggies,eggs, and Hash browns asked for no oil or butter cooked Perfect. Friendly staff,prompt and helpful. Clean and great parking. read more

This is exactly the kind of restaurant you want to find when traveling. A local place with really nice people serving home cooked meals. Nice variety on the menu, but we had breakfast, which is served all day. The omelets and hash browns were excellent. We'll definitely stop in the next time we're driving back to Colorado. read more

What a solid breakfast. My breaded pork tenderloin was juicy and tender. The gravy was good and the hash browns plenty. My kiddo loved his cake and eggs. Pretty standard diner fare type of food but well prepared and tasty. Service is great. read more

Ordered to go from here a few times previously. Visited today, on the weekend, after the breakfast rush hours. Little slow to be seated, which would have been more acceptable if I had been greeted and not past by 3-4 times by different staff. Staff appears hard working otherwise; cleaning, fetching orders, etc. Coffee is quite weak, by any standards. But the fried tenderloin breakfast was good. Juicy and not overly breaded or fried. Hash browns had a good color with a nice crisp on the top, with a little softness inside. Eggs were a little over cooked, and somewhat tasteless, but not terrible. Only hot sauce they have is Tabasco, so hope that's your thing. Air flow was poor. Fans could have been turn up faster. Air conditioning was either not working or not set properly. Very humid. Might be catering to the local elderly population. Is what it is. Worth giving another try. read more

My husband and I stopped in York and decided to try the Kitchen. The menu looked decent so we went in and were seated. It seemed like this was a family-run restaurant which are normally really good so we each ordered a skillet. When the food came out we were less than impressed. First, the hash browns looked completely burnt, but we thought hey they might still taste good. It did not. Somehow the hash browns were both soggy & overly crispy and not only tasted burned but were also incredibly oily. The ham was chewy and the bacon was burnt. We were disappointed. The waitress was very sweet and nice though, and our food did come out quickly and correctly. read more

Absolute BEST chicken tenders I have ever tasted anywhere! Not even Canes compares. Excellent quick service. Very friendly. I will stop in York every I80 trip from now on. I'm not joking... they are heavenly! read more

All I got was an open face roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes and greens. But it was real rib stickin homemade. So I give it 4 stars easy. What a great. Find on the long desolate trip across country read more

The service was slow, unorganized. The coffee mug the hot tea came in was dirty with lipstick and the water was barely warm. We waited 45 minutes while three couples that came in after us got served their food before our food was even started to be cooked. Would not recommend this place to my dogs! read more

Glad we chose here instead of Applebee's. Burger, chicken strips, and catfish were good.

Very good food, on par for your average town diner, especially like the chicken bacon ranch wrap. Holding this review back from more stars because of the service experienced during several visits, and the staff could use a bit more training. Two examples.... On one visit, instead of the onion rings I asked for, I got french fries. No big deal, but when I mentioned that to the server, instead of going and bringing onion rings to the table, she took my entire entrée back to the kitchen until the onion rings were ready, resulting in everyone else at the table diving in while I had to wait as my food got cold back near the kitchen. Poor form. On another visit, I signaled the server to please refill my water, and he acknowledged, but then promptly got wrapped into an extended discussion about wrestling with a coach at another table, and that conversation lasted so ridiculously long that we literally finished our meal and just wanted the check before he finally broke away. I will add more stars to an updated review later, if service improves on our next few visits. read more

the food was great, Maybe the best hashbrowns I've ever had. The waiter was very nice, the eggs were a little cold. The bacon was very juciy and crispy. read more

Order the chicken diner, food was good, service was great. Restaurant is clean and well kept.

Walked into this business @7:45 and they said we stopped seating at 7:45. We had been traveling all day, finally checked into our hotel and headed over to this restaurant. So if we had just went in 1 minute earlier, we would have been seated supposedly. That is trash customer service. As we were getting back in the car, a couple walking out said, "don't worry, you didn't miss anything, the food was horrible". read more

The food was disgusting. The wait staff needs to learn how to wait tables. You don't leave and just not come back. It wasn't even busy so could of checked on us. The food had no flavor and was still "seasoned" my husband and I both have been sick to our stomachs since eating there. Thankfully just passing through. Again wouldn't give them another try. And not worth the money that we spent. Didnt bother saying anything because we probably would have gotten a blank stare. read more

Off I 80. Pretty empty for a Saturday morning. Pkeasantly surprised. The food was served at the right temp and was tasty. Service excellent. Try it. read more

Great local restaurant with good home cooked meals. Service was good but sometimes they were overwhelmed with just 2 servers covering the whole place read more

Sherrie made our day, she's fun, she's direct and great! The food was excellent and we would come again when traveling through!

The service was a bit slow with only one waitress but she was friendly and polite. Breakfast food was excellent. It is more like a truck stop that locals frequent. Dining room was clean. Restroom needed renovation and cleaning. read more

Really wanted to try it. 9 am on a Thursday. Sign says open. Doors are locked. No one around. Hours say 6 am to 9 pm. They should really up date the hours. Wasted trip. Much better places around anyway read more

Exceeded expectations. I'm a chicken fried steak guy. That's my go to at a new restaurants. If you can get that right we're in business. At this location the chicken fried steak is actually a pork tenderloin. (And they do disclose that in the description.) It was really good. The mashed potatoes and gravy as well as corn were really flavorful. My wife had the club sandwich with sweet potato fries. Generous portion sizes - large sandwich. Their waitstaff is young but our waitress Gianna was excellent. Another young waitress handled an 'ornery' customer (probably regular) like a seasoned professional. read more

The food is great and the service is good. Prices meet quality. Has a home cooking environment.

Great spot next to a great motel. Motel even gives a coupon for 15% off. Good comfort food at a great price. We had the beef tips with peppers onion and mushrooms. Yummmm. Ceasar salad was good. Lime chicken soup really really good. Maybe a tad too much salt but I ate it up! We then did their $25 4 person meal to go the next day for our drive, what a great value. The mashed potatoes were from red potatoes and super good. The coleslaw was awesome. It came with bread, gravy, corn and fried chicken. All very good. And 15% off! Three large bags for the road! Definitely the restaurant to go to next to the motel to go to in the immediate area.....Yelp did us good! read more

The chicken fried steak was great. The service was great. The wife and I would stop when we were on our way home from Omaha or lincoln to Hastings ne. We really enjoyed the food and the service. read more

Stating overnight at the local Comfort Inn. Went to THE KITCHEN for an evening meal. Couldn't decide so I ordered 2 eggs over easy with french fries(didn't want the hash browns). Eggs came cooked over medium to well done, dry as though they were NOT fried in butter or any oil whatso ever. $9.85 and it didn't come with toast...an additional $1.39. Absolutely ridiculous price. This place needs someone to cook properly and price items appropriately. Very disappointed. read more

Excellent steak. The vegetables were frozen so I requested a salad and it was a decent salad. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well. The staff was extremely friendly. I would recommend this place. read more
