This place is awesome. The food is absolutely delicious and there are some really unique and tasty options on the menu. Make sure you come early or you probably won’t get a table unless you’re very lucky. The biscuits and gravy is delicious and so is well just about everything. You need to come here

Hidden Kitchen was so nice, we did it twice. We were in the area for a couple of days for a wedding and found this spot on the first morning. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. The waiting staff are all very attentive and helpful. We had a lighter breakfast the first morning since we were heading to a wedding later. After seeing the huge menu and enjoying the food and friendly service, we decided we had to go back the next day for the more substantial dishes. The owner came to the table the first morning and greeted us. During the conversation, we discussed not being from the area. She made some suggestions of things to see and do in the area since we had time before our event. The next day, when we returned, she greeted us again and was so excited to see us and asked all about our day. At one point in the meal, her husband came out of the kitchen to check on us to make sure we were enjoying the food. Everything was great. The menu is so big that I think it would take the 4 of us a month to try all of the breakfast options. Out of all of the dishes we tried I think the only thing I would change would be to order an English muffin with the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. I missed that alteration in the description on the menu compared to the other Benedicts. The fried sausage egg and cheese sandwich was amazing. Not greasy at all. Perfectly fried. The Boston Cream Pancakes were awesome, as well as the Chocolate Banana Pancake Special. If we're ever back in the area, we will return. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

What a great find! The menu, I mean menus were loaded with great regular offerings as well as tons of specials to choose from. The team was friendly and welcoming. I had a garden omelette that was stuffed with vegetable goodness! Bring your appetite or prepare for a to go box. Top that off with a cider mimosa, delicious ? Was worth the hour drive and will definitely be back soon.

Food was excellent, server was very attentive! I'd highly recommend.

Edit: We have made this our Sunday ritual. I refuse to eat the same thing twice. I have yet to have a breakfast there that didn't make my eyes roll into the back of my head.

If you're looking for a breakfast spot that feels like home, look no further than this charming mom and pop brunch place. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease.

The decor is quaint and cozy, with vintage diner touches that add to the overall charm. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and they make you feel like a part of the family. They are always happy to offer suggestions and make sure that your experience is the best it can be. I remember ordering Steak Gorgonzola over greens for lunch which was not really on their menu but they made it just for me ?

Now, on to the food. The menu features classic breakfast and brunch items, but they are executed with such care and attention to detail that they feel like something special. The pancakes are light and fluffy, the poached eggs are cooked to perfection, and the bacon is crispy and delicious. What we love: quinoa with eggs for me and Angry leprechaun breaded chicken breakfast sandwich for my hubby. Also - not pictured is the most mouth watering bacon-cheddar-jalapeño muffin because I ate it all before I could snap a pic. The coffee is also top-notch, always at a perfect temperature which is always a plus in my book.

This place is a gem. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is truly wonderful. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and say hi because we’ll probably be sitting right next to you.

Came for lunch on Sunday, was busy -- always a good sign. They only do breakfast on weekends but that's fine by me.

Had a Jakes omelette -- sausage broccoli onions and cheese -- was good and plenty of food.

Staff was pretty busy but still friendly

If you've solo or pair, consider asking for a counter seat-- often you'll get seated faster.

Overall pretty happy with the place for a nice quick casual brunch.

Went for the first time today. Delicious. Fast, friendly service. Pictures are Oreo stuffed French toast, and Lobster Beni (benedict). They had like 12 or 13 people working, so service was really amazing and fast. Indoor and outdoor seating. The breadth of the menu was really surprising - so many choices. Lunch, not served on Sunday, but I included a pic of the lunch menu - which I will be back to try.
