The Kitchen On Penn

My group was all early and we were able to get a table on a very busy Sunday. The overall atmosphere was very energizing. Our server was friendly and helpful with any order changes. Our drinks came out quickly. The food was a much longer wait. My breakfast sandwich was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their meals including the crabby 18 and the kitchen tacos.

Nice spot that's reasonably close to Monroeville but a ways away from the city. One of the few restaurants I've ever visited in Murrysville. They focus on breakfast and lunch. I got to try out their roasted chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for lunch.Unfortunately, it was pretty underwhelming. The chicken itself was quite good. It was seasoned well and still juicy. The bread was also solid. But, they included far too many onions, and those onions were not crispy. That blocked most of the other flavor. The arugula works well with the sauce, but does make it a bit more bitter than most chicken sandwiches. Overall, I'd probably not get it again.The sweet potato fries were equally underwhelming. Almost no seasoning on there at all. Limp and soggy. No salt to combat the sweetness. Not my style.All in all, I'd probably not be back again. There are better spots to get breakfast or lunch in the area. If I come back, I'd try something other than the chicken sandwich.

I very much enjoyed driving out to try Kitchen On Penn with a friend for Sunday brunch! BUT MAKE A RESERVATION! I heard them telling people there was an hour+ wait with no reservation. I started with the Samoa Chai Latte and omg it was incredible. I loved their specialty coffee/tea menu. My friend and I also both got the Breakfast Bowl which was very tasty! The meats were very fresh - you can tell the difference between a diner breakfast and this, although both hit the spot! It was filling and I even had some leftover. And don't even get me started on the jam with the toast! The space is a bit crowded and there isn't much barrier between tables, but not a deal breaker. Overall it was an enjoyable brunch spot that I'd love to return to.

Delicious brunch spent at The Kitchen! The breakfast tacos & the banana pancakes were fantastic. Great seasonal menu of drinks. Good service, nice restaurant overall!

The Kitchen turned out to be a good spot for us to stop for lunch after kids hockey. The hostess wasn't the most welcoming which seems like a big fail but perhaps it was just a bad day. The poor welcome and wait experience was eventually replaced by some amazing food experiences. Everyone seemed pretty happy with their choice which included my kids. They have an awesome adult version of a grilled cheese and their salmon burger was outstanding. The breakfast bowl looked amazing as well. The restaurant layout seems a bit busy but it flows well enough. The food was good enough to warrant repeat visits. Hopefully the arrival is more welcoming next time.

We've been twice now and I always forget to take pictures of the food because it looks so good we just dive right in. This is a hidden gem. Last night we had:1. Spinach & Artichoke Dip - loved that the used Asiago cheese and serve it with warm garlic bread!2. Burger - it was cooked & seasoned perfectly with an ample side of fries. 3. Shaved Ham & Brie sandwich.....PERFECTION! It's served warm on toasted seed & berry bread. The combo of salty ham and buttery Brie with apple and some type of mustard just really worksThe staff is attentive and friendly.

One of the best restaurants in Murrysville. The menu has retained some favorites, like Eggs Benedict but has added new items like a Spanish Grilled Octopus to the menu. Today I met friends for lunch. We called ahead and they had a table for 6 ready for us. They don't take reservations for lunch but will take your name if there is a wait, so call ahead an hour or so before heading over.I had the Greek Salad with a 4 oz. Grilled salmon added to it. You can choose 4 or 8 ounce addition to the salads and with Salmon, also choose the doneness. It was really delicious. It's served with two containers of dressing on the side, which is nice, because I only used one and it was enough to nicely coat my salad. My friends had the Eggs Benedict. They always order that! The restaurant is not overly decorated. Tasteful, but not too much stuff to look at. It's clean and it has an open kitchen which if you're facing it, can watch the cooking going on right in front of you. That's kind of interesting to watch!Right off of US Route 22 East, it's easy in and out and definitely is one of my favorites in the area.

I will say that overall, I wasn't really a fan of the food. I visited for lunch and I did not really love anything we had. However, the drinks were definitely a redeeming quality and it's the only reason I'd return. However...I do have a few friends that say dinner was amazing for them. So maybe I'd give it another shot? I'm not sure honestly. There are a lot of good food choices in this area, so I wouldn't want to pick something that I know has disappointed me in the past. Service was really good though. So that's a plus, And it's super cute in here too!

My wife and I enjoyed a breakfast break together. I am a sucker for open kitchen concept restaurants and this one doesn't disappoint! Excellent service and the breakfast bowl I had was very good. I ordered my eggs over easy but they arrived a bit over cooked for me. Nonetheless a wide range of menu options that aren't what you would see at many other breakfast spots and a very enjoyable breakfast!

I tend to forget to take photos of my food before I dive in because I'm usually so excited to have that first taste. Please take my word for it that the dishes are nicely presented. Overall, this restaurant has a nicer ambiance inside than many of the other places I have eaten at in Murrysville. The atmosphere inside is a little moody with dark colors and dim lighting. There is an open kitchen concept and you can sit at the bar and watch the chefs work (love that). The booth seating is a bit uncomfortable so maybe steer clear of that. All of the staff were very attentive and kind. I had the Tuscan Chicken and it came with a lot of oil glazing the entire dish. But you know what? It was delicious! I think in hindsight it wasn't so good to eat all of that oil, but it was the oil that sun-dried tomatoes come soaked in (olive oil), so it was flavorful and not weird like my writing is making it seem. I literally ate every bite. I chose not to have any alcoholic beverages this time but if you consume alcohol and want a good cocktail, their drinks looked really good. All hand-crafted. This is a great spot for a nice friends dinner out (which is why I went there), date night, or even a treat for yourself!
