Reviews - The Kettle
Reviews summary
Nestled in Enumclaw, this charming restaurant has become a beloved community staple, famed for its hearty, homestyle cooking and generous portions. Diners rave about the endless coffee and delectable muffins, making it a great breakfast spot. However, the experience is marred by inconsistent service quality and outdated decor. While many leave satisfied, some have encountered unprofessional staff and overcooked meals. With menu prices averaging $19.99, some question the value for what they receive. Despite these criticisms, the warm atmosphere and quick service keep many returning, especially for favorites like fluffy pancakes and inviting blueberry muffins.

The best breakfast I've ever eaten! Very good too! A complete meal cost us 11 dollars and we have enough good on our plates to eat breakfast for a week: next time we go, we will pay a dish just 15$ or less for two people to have a delicious breakfast. don't even get me on the Blueberry muffins View all feedback.
What Jonah R dislikes about The Kettle:
**The Good:** The location and staff are great. It’s a charming local spot that serves hearty food with generous portions. You also get a choice of muffins with your order, and the coffee is endless. It’s a beloved staple in the community.
**The Bad:** Unfortunately, the potato wedges were dry and seemed to have been in the oven too long. The coffee was mediocre, and my over-medium eggs were overcooked as well.
**The Ugly:** The prices are quite high. While the portions are sizable, nearly everything on the menu is priced at $19.99. With tax, a drink, and tip, you’re looking at around $30 for breakfast, which doesn’t seem justified.
**The Bottom Line:** I might return if someone else is covering the bill.

Generous portions of delicious homestyle cooking. Be sure to come hungry and prepared to share, as you'll likely want to take some home for later. The staff is friendly and quick!
The entrance is cramped with large plants and a wall filled with knickknacks, making it feel messy and uncomfortable. The decor feels outdated, and the door to the restaurant resembles an old trailer door. An upgrade to the entryway is definitely needed.

Waiting to be seated is awkward because there are tables in that particular waiting area. You 're basically standing next to a table where someone is eating. They are so busy and moving about that several plating mistakes were made around us. Service is a 'familiar friend ' kind of service. Once we were seated we were checked on frequently and the coffee kept coming. The Meat Lovers Scramble is more like a ten pound plate of comfort food. I was shocked at how much food it was. I will probably get two more meals out of the leftovers. The flavor profile needs nothing added. The egg, cheese, potatoes and various meats add all the seasonings it needs, just dig in. The walls are covered with paintings and photos as well as a variety of wall hangings. This is very much a country breakfast restaurant at this time of day. The lunch menu also looks enticing.
Wow. I mean just wow. Bring your appetite when you come here!! There were 4 of us and we ordered two full meals and we all left stuffed and couldn't even eat all of it. We had.... Buckley scramble. Scrambled eggs, onions, bacon and hash browns all mixed together. It was delish. We had two sunny side eggs from our other meal that we added to the top of the scramble and it's how I'd actually order it again in the future. Try it this way. You're welcome. Strawberry French toast. This was delish....I can't have a lot of sugar but was a fantastic bite. I'd order this again. Bieber id order everything on the side because it was a little too sweet. I'd prefer to control it all but that's just me probably because I can't do sugar everything is to sweet to me. Lastly their homemade muffins. Blueberry was our favorite, then cinnamon sugar and lastly still good cherry chocolate chip. We'll be back 10/10

Stopped in here on a trip to the west side of the state, and I wish I lived closer!!! It was SO good. It’s has a cozy mom&pops sort of feel. The staff was friendly and prompt with getting order in. GET THE MUFFIN! So I ordered the lunch special of a Grilled Cheese w/Soup… what I got was: a HUGE grilled cheese (which was tasty , a potato soup (which was beyond amazing! The consistency was just right, with soft little potato cubes in it and NOT “mushy,” and the flavor was incredible… it had the initial great taste with an amazing after taste that made you ready for the next bite! ; AND there was a (surprise to me side of fried; AND it came with (surprise to me, again! a MUFFIN!!! My total price was…. $11.99! Not bad at all in this economy, and totally worth it. I received a blueberry muffin, my friend had cinnamon… and I can’t say what is better… they were SO SO good. The muffin top was huge. Blueberry had a lovey summer taste, and the cinnamon had me ready to cozy up with the coming Autumn. The huckleberry was only available on weekends… and it tempts me to drive the hours to get there just to try it. So if you live in Enumclaw, or you are just driving through… be sure to stop by the Kettle, even if it’s just for a quick muffin, though the meals are great, too!

Looking for a great diner? Look no further for great food and friendly awesome staff!
Everything you expect from a great breakfast. Service was good we ordered our toddlers food to come out first and he loved his cream of wheat and eggs. Food was hot and portions are big. Recommend the huckleberry muffins. Staff was busy on a weekend morning but they were all friendly and accommodating.
Stopped in while heading to vacay destination. Staff were very friendly, atmosphere was inviting and the food was delish. The muffins are excellent.
My boyfriend got the eggs Benny, I got the Buckley scramble. Food was delicious and great big portions. Even the side of fruit and muffin were delectable. While it was busy our service was above average, our drinks were tabbed on we were asked if we needed anything else. Easy brunch spot.

I love the food... BUT... Not as much to see as the waiter handles the muffins with his bare hands (she puts on customer plates and moves from muffin tin to the drawer) :
This was the best breakfast I've ever had, and I've been around a while! Seriously, it was fantastic. You won’t be disappointed. Both the service and the food deserve five stars!
Best breakfast spot! I absolutely love coming here for breakfast. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. If you're going with a large group, be sure to make a reservation!
I’ve never been to a better place to eat!!! And I loved Debbie so much I didn’t want to leave!!!
Great food, great service and the meal was out of the kitchen quicker than any place I've ever been. Will definitely be back again. Worth the drive just for the food and service!
