Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I have ate here more than once when traveling near Princeton Kentucky. The staff and food was awesome! Home cooking at its very finest! The prices are very reasonable as well! I highly recommend Kay's!"
"This is an excellent place to eat. Their food is really good with lots of choices. The waitress Kaykay is soo friendly and helpful. Reminds me of Martha's in Murray. Would highly recommend stopping by."
"The food was great. The lady cooking was great. The young girl that took our order was a zombie. She barely spoke and the cook, who was great, had to come to our table to ask about our meal options because the server didn't ask us. When we went to pay, the server asked us for our ticket, which she hadn't given us. She had to ask me what we had ordered and when I told her she charged us per item instead of the regular meal price. If not for this girl, this place would be amazing."
"Old service station turned restaurant. K's kitchen has great breakfast biscuits and gravy eggs. The bacon was the best. Don't let the exterior of the building dissuade.You from trying this little treasure"
"Our food was prepared fresh and brought to the table hot. Our order was correct! Our waitress was super sweet, helpful and seemed genuinely happy working there. Typical meat and 3 with a hearty breakfast. Local favorite as most customers seem to know one another. Could use a bit of freshening of decor but it was clean and we enjoyed our meal and visit. Will come back here again. Family atmosphere. Small parking lot but looks like public parking available. Did have a drive through!"
"I have been here everyday in one week. Just forgot to take photos. I wanted to taste the meatloaf. Wasnt a fan of it. Not sure the sauce that's used on top an the texture of the meat was different for me. My go to is country fried steak with Mashed potatoes and roll. My son gets fries an grilled cheese. Can't speak on anything else. They are pretty nice and very friendly here. The food is always regardless if I enjoy something new or not."
"OK, this going to sound weird. The atmosphere here is a 5 becuase it is so not what you expect when you pull up. Imagine an old gas station that was closed 10 years ago, but the lights are on. Then you walk in and its your Grandma's house, warm, inviting, and with kind loving people. The waitress was sweet and great service. The food was diner food. Good and good portions. We had breakfast. Biscuits and gravy a little bland. The tenderloin with gravy was good. Bacon was good. Deep fried French toast was good, but a bit much. But when you think about it then you will realize it js just what you should expect. Like French toast cover in a funnel cake. A bit too much and a little greasy. We would go back for the people and atmosphere if nothing else. After a week hunting it was the comfort good we were looking for."
"We just love hitting the small local breakfast places when we drive across the county. Kay-Kay was our server. She was great. Just like having your sister helping you make the best of your meal for you. She is so nice. The food was just what I was raised on. Love the fried bologna. Thank you all for such a nice warm welcome and a fantastic breakfast."
