Took gf's grandma out for 96th birthday dinner, the Kernel is her favorite place. Even with alzheimers and dementia, the Kernel restaurant stays a stable memory. It was my parents' favorite place to go and eat.

Great staff. Everyone was friendly and the place was pretty clean. Servers, bussers, food runners, and other staff worked together really well to keep us hydrated and happy during a busy Sunday breakfast rush. Food was pretty tasty too! Eggs were well cooked. Also, the staff was so sweet with my little 10mo infant enjoying his first dine-in meal. He loves every minute of it.

This place is the real deal when it comes to classic diners. The coffee was just right, and my over-easy eggs and hash browns were perfectly cooked, just like the fried chicken steak I enjoyed. Despite the restaurant being busy, the waitress was attentive and checked in on me multiple times. I was waiting for a windshield replacement next door, and they allowed me to stay as long as I needed. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough!

The exact small town breakfast you hope for when you stop at a place like this. Service was great, coffee was hot, and $12 gave me more food than I could eat in an entire day. Highly recommend!
