Kep's Country Kitchen

Typically a decent place to have breakfast. Went in on the 4th and apparently they were short cooks in the kitchen. Order took almost 40 minute and we asked the waitress she has to loudly explain how busy they were.

Not very impressive!

I had breakfast here today.  It was my first time there.  The patrons were the friendliest I've come across.  They doted over my children.  That's pretty much the best thing I can say about this place.  That's neither here nor there.  The waitress, she couldn't/wouldn't make eye contact with me.  When I asked her for things (after flagging her down) she would only address my Caucasian friend.  When I asked for extra plates for my children, she brought it to my friend.  When I asked for straws, she put them in front of my friend.  Thought that was pretty weird and slightly racist.  

The food was just okay.  I think we should've gone to Denny's or IHop and gotten fresher/better food and service for cheaper.  If you do plan on coming here, come before 10 am to get the $3.99 special.  I didn't know about the special and missed it by 5 minutes.  Instead, I paid twice that for egg's benedict.  Wasn't even good.  The Hollandaise sauce looked questionable.  The sheen had a weird pattern in them...but a pregnant girl's gotta eat.  My friend said her biscuits and gravy were not seasoned and had no taste.  At the end of our meal, I asked for a box and the waitress brought back a box full of dried coffee stains and soot.  Um, next time check to make sure you're not giving out filthy boxes.  Yikes.  The guy at the front where you pay the bill was nice...but I'm sure anyone is nice when you're paying for that kind of lackluster service and food.  Not ever coming back.  

I don't get all the 3 and 4 star ratings.  C'mon people, you can't be serious?  It makes me miss all the places up north that have real breakfast/brunch places with awesome food and service.  I can't believe people around here really think this is a 4 star rated place to eat?!?!?  And at $10+ for a breakfast and drink...yikes...go somewhere else!

I have to agree with Kelly M. the food has been somewhat inconsistent, but it's been decent each time.

The first time I had the biscuits and gravy and the gravy was pretty runny. It tasted good, but was very watery. Not as good as Garden of Paradise, but decent.  Girlfriend ordered them the second time and the gravy was a lot less runny, but not as tasty.

The second time I had the Idaho Benedict, potato pancakes covered with gravy and a poached egg. The potato pancakes were delicious. The gravy was less runny and the eggs were cooked well. Wish it came with a side other than hash browns (yes i realize Idaho is in the name) but I could do with some protein instead.

Staff has been decent, last time the guy was a little overly pushy on the coffee refills for the girlfriend. She reports the coffee was just okay. I wouldn't know as I don't drink the stuff (guessing I lost about half of you at this point. "How can I trust his review if he doesn't drink coffee?" I've got no answers for you, caffeine and I just aren't friends). You will get your money's worth on the coffee, that's for sure.

Prices are pretty reasonable and they have newspapers sitting around so you don't have to engage in conversation with your guest, but silently read and pretend they don't exist.

It does have a bit of a small town feel to it, despite be a stones throw away from Veteran's.
