I returned to the People's Kitchen with another first timer! My wife, Melissa. My daughter Maddie and I have been here twice this past month by ourselves and raved about it until we had an opportunity to bring Melissa to experience the great food at the People's Kitchen. It once again lived up to all of our own hype and should live up to yours as well. Great build your own omelette. Amazing breakfast sandwich on French toast. Smooth and flavorful coffee and delicious OJ. Thanks again for a wonderful start to our 4th of July morning. We will be back again soon with another newbie. Spread the word. It's at the People's Kitchen. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Turned away at the door because we had 4 in our party. we suggested sitting 2 at the counter and 2 at a table but were refused with no explanation other than "thats how we've done it for 10years". ‍ I was a coffee shop manager for 8 years and never heard of such a thing nor would i ever have spoken to customers in such a way. we went to the Flying Egg instead and the food and service THERE was 5 out of 5. read more

What a find. Staying at the Casino and decided to venture out for breakfast. This place had a 5 star review and no wonder whyGreat food, great service and inexpensive prices. Ashlee our waitress was just terrific, kept our coffee full and hot. We had French Toast and eggs. bacon, potatoes and a bagel. Nothing special just a good breakfast at a reasonable price served with a smile. A great way to start the day. read more

The Queen 8/10 Really good. The sweet and salty combo of the bacon, chocolate, and banana was amazing. The only thing is that it was a little dry. Definitely could have used some syrup. Huevos Rancheros 9/10 Chili was good, eggs cooked great, and loved that you can eat the bowl too! The crispy edges of the tortilla were really good. Aunt Barbara's quiche 10/10 Best quiche mom has ever eaten! read more

Ate here on a Sunday morning. Waited about 20 min, they quoted us 30. It was packed w a lot of regulars. Waitstaff was lovely, every single one. I couldn't decide between 2 options and waitress found me a way to have both. Everything we had was delicious. Star of the show was croissant French toast w banana topping. We also tried shrimp and grits crepes. I thought the shrimp would be inside but they were on top. Still good. Husband had omelette which was delicious and loaded w toppings. Props to the 1 guy cooking and also delivered our toast so it was still hot! Would definitely come here again! Worth the wait. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. The outside does not indicate the amazing food and service that you get inside. The most wonderful food with fresh ingredients. 10 out of 10 recommend read more

My wife and I stopped for breakfast this morning and had a great experience. She had the croissant French toast and I had the special which was a sausage patty, grilled onions, arugula, egg and spicy aioli on a pretzel bun which was the bomb. Really outstanding combination of flavors and texture. Staff is great as well. Our server was attentive, fun and engaging. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us and also very pleasant. Small place in a residential area that you would miss if driving too fast. Atmosphere was welcoming and casual. Just what you want in a neighborhood cafe. read more

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. The food is amazing and the staff are warm, happy, and fun. You can tell they enjoy their job and interacting with their customers. read more

This place was recommended to me by a local and it did not disappoint. The service was phenomenal, food was excellent, and super affordable. My friends got the breakfast sandwich on a bagel along with some orange juice and some fresh coffee. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be back ! read more

Great vibe. Love the buckwheat pancakes and watching the cook who prepares everything in plain site at front of restaurant

I love this place! Everyone was so nice and the food was delicious... We stopped here for breakfast on the way to the Christmas market at Steelstacks. I had the Croissant French Toast w/ Bourbon Banana topping and a side order of scrapple. Very few places sell scrapple so when I see it on a menu I always order it. The French toast was so good and the portion was so large I could barely eat half so I ended up taking most of my food home, but I can assure you I finished the rest the next morning for breakfast because I couldn't let that goodness go to waste. My husband ordered the Breakfast Mac & Cheese which had a potato bottom, the macaroni, sausage, bacon, and you can add an egg for $2 extra. He loved his skillet and finished his. Their prices were so cheap I was shocked. Most of the meat sides were only $2 and to add a side of breakfast potatoes only $1 Definitely recommend! read more

We went here for breakfast every morning. It's a great place for breakfast or brunch. If there's a wait they take ur cell # so you can wait outside or in ur car. Never had more than a 5 minute wait though! read more

A favorite brunch spot. Tiny, can have a bit of a wait, but worth it. We like sitting at the counter for a little bit quicker service.

People's Kitchen is the type of food place you hope to find when visiting a new city - small, local-owned, fresh ingredients and a focused menu, and strong attention to detail. We'd seen the solid reviews and it was on the recommendation list of places in our VRBO rental - so we gave it a shot as we were heading home from Bethlehem. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but once inside it is cute and intimate. The interior reminds you of a trolley-car diner in terms of dimensions and having everything happening right in front of you. My wife got a breakfast egg dish and I got a lunch sandwich and both were amazingly good. Fresh warm bread, wonderful seasoning, perfect portions, and a friendly attentive staff. Pricing was also very reasonable, and we were on our way quickly. Highly recommended! read more

What a delightful find! Stopped in around 9am on a Thursday, were seated immediately, and the waitress took our order quickly. The coffee was great, as were our meals. I had the shrimp and grits crepes, which were awesome. The grits were cooked perfectly, which this southern girl finds rarely to be true in the north. The drizzle of sweet barbecue sauce on top was unusual but delicious. Husband's western omelet and home style potatoes were flavorful and filling. The waitress and cook were friendly and funny. We will definitely be back! read more

I was recently back in town, and went for breakfast twice again. In fact, I specifically wanted to go back. The food is just great along with a comfortable atmosphere, spot on service and the price for the quality is excellent. Just plain go! read more

This place is THE BOMB! If I could have a 6th star, I'd have given it to them! It's a tiny place, but dynamite comes in small packages. I had the bourbon banana French Toast made with a real delicate sweet crescent roll. This came with sliced bananas and a dousing of the bourbon cream white sauce. Oh my goodness! You MUST go and try it! The fresh berry compote my friend had was also amazing, and they had a "pork roll" that was new to me, but was delicious. My friend had Scrapple with a soft fried egg over it as well. The service team was fully engaged and we loved this place. I don't live near here, but if I did I be here at least 2x/week! Seriously, this was incredibly delicious and I'm still dreaming of it. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Was looking for a place for breakfast after staying at the Windcreek Resort and found this place on a Yelp search. It's a really small place with about eight seats at the counter and maybe another eight or so tables, but most of the tables could only hold two people. Seems to be a popular place as lots of activity and folks having to wait to be seated. We got lucky and there was a table available when we arrived, so we were quickly seated. Service was so friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I don't think my wife's coffee ever went below a half cup. Overall, the place had a nice family feel to it. My croissant French toast was so delicious and my wife enjoyed her quiche. Would definitely stop here again if we find ourselves in the area. read more

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Breakfast is not supposed to be stressful...and this was stress less! French Toast for my son, plenty. Great flavors. Buckwheat Pancakes for me...I'm a carb addict so I would probably order 2 servings next time, but they were excellent. read more

The People's Kitchen - Killer French Toast! Excellent service, excellent food, low key atmosphere. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The People's Kitchen is a small breakfast/lunch spot located just off the heart of Bethlehem. We had never ate there before but were tempted to try after some strong world of mouth from friends of mine. It was a good choice. The place is small and only has street parking. There are are a few tables and a counter seating. The menu is also on the smaller side. However what they have on the menu is quite good. The breakfast Mac and cheese was quite, it reminds of the type of breakfast we would get up in Vermont when skiing. Good and hearty. We also had the Hen and eggs and the croissant French toast. The French toast was disappointing, not that it was bad, but it was not as good as the other two. The staff was nice and friendly. The place was clean. They also had a steady flow of regular customers, always a good sign for a place like this. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesday, and they close daily in the early afternoon. Overall a very good place to stop in and get breakfast, we will be back sometime soon. read more

Don't eat here. My husband and I were traveling from NY to Georgia, and we started out very early, so by 7 am I was ready to eat, so we stopped in Bethlehem PA and I found this resturant online, it has some good reviews, but the pictures were not impressive to me, however I had to find a place to eat, hubby was anxious about getting back on the road, so I decided to order and go. The food was nasty, eggs were not yellow as scrambled eggs are, bacon was burnt, toast WAS dried out from been over done, breakfast potatoes were done in the skin, everything looks like they were cooked on a dirty griddle. I had to pray hard that I did not end up been sick from eating bad food and picking up stomach virus. I am not sure if this is how they cook all the time for everyone (very unsanitary) or was it because they were cooking for a black women, they think we don't know clean, read more

We decided to check out the People's Kitchen because of the great reviews. This is a small restaurant located in a primarily residential area. It looks like someone's home so be aware. It is yellow and is on the corner. This spot has 3 tables and six barstools for guests. Our waitress was Ashley. She was friendly, attentive, and told us about the menu choices. I asked how they had been affected by the pandemic and she said they have less tables now because of social distancing. We ordered croissant French toast $9, side of bacon $2, The Omelet $8, side of breakfast potatoes $1. Everything was delicious. The prices are very good. I actually think their side items prices are too low. Everything was really good. The Croissant French toast was something I had never seen before. It was sweet and really tasty. The bacon was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Hubby said the omelet was good and the potatoes were delicious. When we went to pay our tab, we were told that one of the other guests had picked up the tab for the entire restaurant. They just asked us to "Pay it Forward." We gave both waitresses huge tips, basically what we would have paid for our meal. What a pleasant surprise. They said the guest often does that when he comes to eat. Definitely reminds us to be kind to each other. read more

HORRIBLE people!!! empty table they would not sut us 2 at in case 4 would magically show up. promised table for 2 as soon as one cleared as we sat on hard counter backless stools. After a table cleared for two we were denied it due to someone maybe would show up. After explaining I have back problems and was in pain we were still denied for the two invisible customers and other 4 invisible that still were at unoccupied tables. a VERY NICE customer gave up his single seat at a table for 2 go figure. how'd he get that! yep, paid for his meal as he gave us the table for the hard stool at the counter. Ty if you're reading this as my gack was throbbing. went to leave waitress tip and she kind of ignored me and walked away when I tried calling her. said to cashier (male) I didn't want the other brunette waitress who was nasty to be tipped after he told me tips were shared in cup at register. I said I didn't want to tip her bc of the treatment he said that's just the way they do things to seat people then under his breath said you don't have to come back!!!! well I won't. social media can be a stitch food was a 2 anyway read more

The best Breakfast North of Richmond. The place where if you can't pick between French toast and an Omelette, you just add syrup. Home Fries were even good warmed up when I had them for dinner that night because I was too lazy to cook. 5 stars read more
