  A greasy gem on the fox!  This place is old school cool and the food is amazing!  Fancy is not a word to describe this place but BIG plates of home cooked goodness abound. If you like breakfast basics you'll love Kendall's!!!!!

  As a newer resident of Elgin, I've come to enjoy Kendal's as a beat neighborhood place to eat. I loved the comment of the initials being KKK. I have to say, I was disappointed about the old timey aunt gemima minstrel picture on the the wall. But the owner seems to be quite sweet. The food is typical diner fare...nothing special, but great atmosphere!

  A lovely diner towards the south side of town with great community feeling. American breakfast favorites, biscuits and gravy, open very early for breakfast and lunch only. Interior is an old time ice cream parlor, very nostalgic. Street parking, which can be a bit limited. Cash only!

  No finer diner in Elgin. This Elgin landmark continues to stand the test of time. You have to get up early or eat dinner early because they're only open from about 5am to 3pm. Good homemade dishes. I strongly suggest Mexican Eggs with corn tortilla's.

  Nevermind that the initials are KKK, they mean no harm. I used to live right around the corner from the Kitchen and looked forward to weekends so I could pay it a visit.
  
  Elgin is not short on mom-and-pop diners, and Kendall's is a perfect example. Outdated decor, plastic cups, runny eggs and the best mother truckin' biscuits you have ever had. Ever. They're soft and velvety, they take the butter like champs. The gravy is definitely made in-house and when pressed for her recipe, Kendall just smiles and says, "I'm glad you like it, sweetheart" and walks away.
  
  She's only open for breakfast, and the crowd is regulars with the occasional visitor and she didn't seem to lose any of them when they had to go non-smoking. She even named some of the breakfast items after the usuals, how sweet is that?

  This place is a classic, American diner. Everything is covered in grease and butter and calories but it's definitely worth it. The food is amazing and everything is homemade. They make the world's best biscuits and gravy and Judy's soups are also amazing. Be sure to also check out Mexican Day every Thursday.
