What our guests are saying

Amazing banana nut pancakes! Good coffee as well. Perfect diner-like experience. Shout-out to Stephanie for her captivating smile and attentive service. Reasonably priced esp. given the location and quality of food. Definitely coming back on future visits.

I ordered a Reuben sandwich. It was outstanding. I was amazed as to how large it was and how well balanced the ingredients were that were used to make the sandwich. Sides offered with the sandwich included a French onion soup that was also delicious. The servers were friendly and helpful. The most amazing thing was how reasonably they priced their food.

The Kettle is a South Bay institution.. with an amazing menu, great food, and late night hours that are pretty rare in these parts. They are still open all night on weekends! The food here is very well done with burgers, salads, steaks, great pasta dishes, and tons of appetizers and treats for everyone. The panko chicken tenders are a favorite, grilled chicken club, house burger.. you really can't go wrong. Think upscale diner where you can get anything from a quick snack to a full meal and they have you covered for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night. Extremely good, and equally popular The Kettle is a locals' favorite and it is easy to see why.
