Kissell's Kitchen

Here is a classic but no-frills diner just off the historic town square in Ripley. No-frills means nothing fancy in the seating, the worn menu copies, and the overall vibe.But I would gladly return for the food. I love the southern places that offer both plate lunches and freshly prepared short orders. I went for the double cheeseburger and tots. Both prepared spot on with handmade Pattie's grilled perfectly (not overdone) and really crispy tots. Very reasonable prices and generous servings.

Let me tell y'all not this place. The food is killer! I had the smothered chicken and baked potato with cheese and I enjoyed every bit of it!!! Plenty of toppings and loaded with cheese!! This was so filling and I had enough left over for a midnight snack. My friend deeply enjoyed the loaded chicken fries! And she ordered some extra queso on the side for some additional cheesiness! I also ordered the Philly cheesesteak and cheese burger egg rolls Togo. Now the egg rolls are good my only suggestion to them would be at add more cheese and flavor the meats a little bit more and create or suggest a dipping sauce and it will be fire!!! I can't wait to come again and try some more of FOOD! Please note that egg rolls come as a single order. Happy eating y'all!

Great Food and service. Nice atmosphere, clean and comfortable. The egg rolls are great and they have some of the best chicken strips I've had!

I am out traveling on the road again. I get a chance to try out various cafes, diners and restaurants in small cities and big cities. I'm in Ripley Tennessee and I tried kissell's kitchen. I was excited to try their eggs benedict but I found that they didn't serve it. As a matter of fact no one in town does. I decided to have their standard breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised. Two eggs OE, bacon (crisp and dry), no toast (I opted for a biscuit) with a side of sausage gravy.$5.49 breakfast, small coffee $1.39, hash brown $2.29 and side of gravy $1.89. Everything was perfect. The bacon was crisp and dry, the eggs were over easy and the sausage and gravy was not too peppery. When in this part of tennessee, Ripley, I highly recommend you try out not only their breakfast but there are other barbecue and unusual items. Also try their redneck egg rolls. Linda was a pleasant waitress.

This place was, by far, best real BBQ food I have ever tasted. The staff was super friendly, the place had an awesome antique decor (real antiques) and the food was delicious. We did not leave hungry. We ordered the small plates and felt there was plenty of food. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.

Kissell's offers a variety of food choices, and they also have daily specials. The prices are extremely reasonable. I usually order the burger and fries which never lets me down. My new favorites are the cheeseburger and Philly steak egg rolls! These are great! I've also had the grilled chicken salad and Fred pickles. All are great choices!

Welp, I ordered the chicken tenders (4 count) with fries. A friend of mine ordered a double bacon cheeseburger... I know... his sounds way better. We made it a to go order. Our wait felt like it took forever. There weren't any drinks given while we waited and no one checked on us anymore after we ordered. Once we seen our food come up, we were called to the counter for pickup. Our meal was 16 dollars. I gave the stars for clean appearance, very pleasant area/location, very old country feel.Now... my friend basically didn't get the burger he asked for. Ee already were home so he ate it anyways. I felt like my ranch was watered down and the fries had no taste to them. I guess I should have asked for seasoned fries. Overall, this is a small quiet nice town. I don't live in the area but I don't think this place gave me a reason to come back outside of seeing friends. The food didn't have much of a uniqueness to it. I usually love going to small town places because of different things they bring to the table. Eh.... oh well.

The BBQ fries aren't on the menu, but they're the best thing they serve. Half an order is enough for any one person, and it's got their famous pulled pork, nacho cheese, and crinkle cut fries. Topped with the BBQ sauce of your choice, I always get spicy.

Comfortable place to eat. Always good service. Excellent sweet tea. Cheeseburgers are big and tasty. Fried catfish is always fresh, perfectly prepared and delicious. Notably they do not over bread and /or over cook their catfish like most places in the Mid-South. The BBQ Eggroll is tasty and filled with meat. Most importantly they prepare their food in a very consistent manner each time you visit.

It's tiny, the chairs aren't exactly comfortable, but the food is great. I always get the half order of barbeque fries, which aren't on the menu but they're delicious, crinkle fries, perfect pulled pork, cheese sauce and barbecue sauce of your choice. The servers are friendly, and if you live here in Ripley, you might know them. Not much to look at but the best places never are.
