Big Kitchen Cafe

I've been here once before, years ago, and enjoyed it as well. The servers are always so friendly and ready to help. I'm not side if the older woman is an owner, but she's always around and friendly. The orange juice is fresh squeeze and absolutely delicious. The pancake was buttery and yummy. I only finished half, but it was good. The bacon tastes fresh and cooked perfectly and the sausage was delicious as well. The inside is a little small and outdated, stuffy, but I am see how it could have been charming back in the day . I prefer to sit outside. Especially if it's a nicer day, does get a little breezy but overall this is a charming breakfast spot with the transitional staples.Also, target is right across the street, and who doesn't love target

2 stars only because we got a huge discount without even requesting it, which was very appreciated. This was one of the most interesting dining experiences I've had in years... Came here on Mother's Day and they initially offered us a table next to the dumpster. We decided to sit out front instead and the plastic table cloth was extremely dirty and rundown. I ordered a bowl of chili and I wasn't informed they were "out of it" until half of my parties' meals were getting dropped off. Why wasn't I informed 20+ minutes ago? I was about to order something else when the server miraculously came over with a bowl of chili that the cooks just decided to make. So this tells me that they probably make a huge batch of it and when they run out, that's it. So it's not fresh. So my chili should've been fresh then since they just decided to make me a bowl, but I have never seen anything like it. I know there's different types of chili but this one was so dry and not soup-like at all. I don't even know if what I actually ate was the black bean chili and they just brought it out as the regular chili that I originally ordered. Or if they just threw a bunch of ingredients together. Who knows. I ate a quarter of it and didn't bother to take the rest home. Which says a lot because I always take home leftovers. The food was mediocre and overpriced. The breakfast burrito was more like a quesadilla and the salsa was more like tomato chunks, like from a can. The poached eggs came in a very sad bowl, separate from the English muffin. So it was like we had to build our own. The English muffin and fruit also came out first, then several minutes later the bowl of poached eggs. It was just so interesting the presentation and delivery of the dishes.. I had requested flour tortillas and they brought out corn tortillas. They accidentally left a plate of buttered sourdough toast on our table that we were pretty sure was meant for another table. I used to be a server, you don't let guests' plates touch another guests' table! Anyway, the server forgot all about that toast. As well as the pancake that we ordered at the very beginning of our meal, so we forfeited that. On top of all of this, the owner Judy came over to our table and spoke with us, while engaging in unwanted touching of my Husband's shoulder. I mean, it didn't bother me personally, but.. you just don't touch your guests, period. The water tasted like unfiltered tap water. The freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit were good though. At the end of our meal, we made a joke about going to McDonald's after. The staff are friendly but this was a horrible dining experience. I'm not returning and I'm not recommending this restaurant to others.

Walk in, and don't know how 20 people can eat here. It's like you're sitting in your grandma house . Old and not painted. It's clean, the server friendly, but the kitchen is open, and they play their music,so you don't enjoy your meal. The food was good, but like I said, you feel like you're at some one house. So why come out. Will not be back, sorry.

Our go-to no frills classic breakfast diner spot for delicious plates. Equivalent to your favorite neighborhood dive bar but make it breakfast/brunch. If you're not in the mood for waiting hours for mimosa flights or glitzy interiors, we've got a recommendation for you. Judy is a true gem and the servers are very nice. We would come here every weekend when we lived in South Park. The coffee cake is a staple. Indoor and outdoor seating (bar seating and booth seating inside) and they've got everything from hasbrowns, potatoes, pancakes to bacon and eggs, country fried steak, omelettes and more. Also some specials on the menu. Large portions and fair prices.

There's something nostalgic about this place. The old photos of celebrities, the worn floor where thousands upon thousands have paid homage to a simple concept: live in a small world and a big kitchen.Life is a good with a big kitchen where people feel welcomed like family, where the portions are as big as the smiles, where no matter who you are, you'll walk away satisfied and just a bit wiser because of the time you spent with friends and loved ones eating, laughing, and chopping it up.I had the combo with bacon and eggs and potatoes. Those potatoes had so much good flavor as if it was made on Christmas morning with everyday spices. My daughter brought me here and I loved it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We were going to the shawarma guys across the street but the music brought us and attracted us to this shop, with a cool little vibe. Felt like I was on a different planet, and or heaven. Everyone was friendly, nice, highly recommend recommend!!

Finally I got to go to the Big Kitchen Cafe!! This is a local favorite in South Park that is a favorite in my family for exactly what they advertise: classic, American diner and family-friendly fun. I have only ever eaten outside on their pati, under the wispy trees and sun. The owner is always there, dancing with the diners, having a great time. If you are to get anything here it is the on big buttermilk pancake. Best thing to share as it takes up the whole plate and is fluffier than clouds. Fun fact, Whoopie Goldberg used to dine here! Now one thing I will say is that the cafe is a very popular place to dine so the wait can be very long and service is a little slow with getting to your table. Just make sure to come early!

Upscale diner spot, I'm a fan.We got the Rozie's Special - scrambled eggs with onion, bacon, and cream cheese, how could you go wrong?It comes with your choice of home fries, toast, or rice. We ended up with home fries and sourdough toast!We also got the chili cheese omelette, a little messy, but worth it!Service was quick, kind, and at the ready with coffee refills.

Yum! The food is so good here and very large portioned (got the veggie omelette with potatoes and rye bread). The fresh squeezed orange juice is delicious and pulpy as well. The owner is so lovely and aware of the slow service (it was quite the wait but they would check in regularly). There is both outdoor and indoor seating; there was a musician singing outside when I was there. Street parking in this area.

There were too many weird comments from that old lady, and she was very rude to us.Thank goodness that the food was delicious.
