Kountry Kitchen

We try to be supportive of local businesses, but this was my second visit (I forgot to review the first time) and I am done. Our first visit was for dinner, and we were 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant. I ordered chicken, and when it was given to me, I cut it and blood came running out. Have to admit I was repulsed, and even though they re-cooked it, I had a hard time eating.Yesterday we stopped for breakfast and the place was packed. Took over 10 minutes just to get coffee. I ordered the special: eggs Benedict. I should have know when the server asked how I wanted the eggs cooked and if I wanted toast, that something would go wrong. After waiting 35 minutes, my husband's food was delivered, but mine hadn't even been prepared yet. His pancakes were cold, he was missing bacon, and our server was no where to be found. My meal finally came and was at least hot. The eggs were poached well, but the hollandaise sauce wasn't great. My husband continued to have issues with his meal and we could hear other patrons complaining about the food. They took his meal and our coffee off the bill, but it was a lousy experience, not to be repeated.

This is a nice little mom and pops spot. It is definitely a hidden gem. The place gets crowded, however, it doesn't delay your food. The servers are always pleasant. The restaurant is clean. The parking lot needs some attention as it is uneven. The food tastes great and is always fresh. The prices are reasonable and the menu has great options. Whether you're craving meatloaf , a sandwich, or breakfast; this restaurant has something for your tastebuds. The pork chop breakfast is my favorite. There is also a $5 before 11AM breakfast. This is a must try whenever you're visiting the Ruskin area.

Finally open for business under new ownership and new name. Great locally owned and operated eatery that serves tasty homemade style meals. The portion sizes are ample, the food is priced right, good selection on the menu, lots of parking, open very early in the morning, and friendly staff. The place looks nice inside and was kept clean and tables cleared and cleaned as quickly as possible. I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and salad for about $12. I did not have a long wait, and for being a gran opening, things seemed to flow pretty smooth, as the place was busy and a bit hectic. The staff remained friendly and kept my ice water filled for me as needed, and the check came on time, with minimal wait time. The salmon tasted good and the taters were hot and as expected, and the salad, well it was lettuce and just a salad, ha, not a favorite but was fine to eat. I will be back to try many other items on the menu and they offer a big selection of Al a carte items to choose from if you want a wider selection that what comes with your order. My plate was full and so was I when I left.

Name changed from Kountry Korner to Barbara's Family Restaurant. Ownership remains the same, they just wanted reflect family dining. A small mom and pop restaurant with 7 booths and 8 tables. Breakfast crowd on Saturday but didn't wait long for a table. Bathroom is outside in the back and accessible from the side door in the dining room. Our Server, Lydia, arrived promptly and took our order. We ordered breakfast and was served within 10 minutes. They also serve beer and wine, which is unusual for a breakfast (lol) but fits better with their lunch and dinner crowd. Menu is 1 page breakfast, The rest is lunch/dinner featuring burgers, seafood and specialty sandwiches. You have to ask for the beer and wine list. We added this restaurant to our favorites list for our regular weekend breakfast tradition.

I wanted to give this more stars when I first came in but with no a/c it's hard to do. Today probably cost another star since they haven't had A/C for the past 3 days. It's been grueling to wait extra time due to staff shortages and to try to sit and eat in humidity while you sweat. We came at 11am for I'm pretty sure they won't stay open too long so long as the days keep reaching 90 degrees. They also don't have enough condiments like ketchup, hot sauce, or syrup aside form the 2 bottles of each shared between 15 tables or so. Service from the kitchen or the communication from the server to the kitchen has a variety of problems from food items missing, cook instructions not followed, cold food, and not enough wait staff to handle this place when tables are full. I have the best tip that will improve the visit for us it's asking for Carol, she really does work hard to check on you and fix any problems. She is running all over the place trying to get to each table. Probably best to come during off hours when 1 server might only have 1-4 tables, if you don't have a lot of time or patient or don't want to sweat lol and maybe stay away from weekends or brunch hours.

I love grease spoons. (Diners)They are simple, comfy, typically cheap, and have decent portions. Not the best food, but typically ok. This place SUCKS. Really big time. It's a real shame because I've always been near a good diner, but since moving to Ruskin every diner I try is gross. This place was hot. I was sweating. Somebody got yelled at for turning down the ac while I was there. (No I did not ask them.)It was cramped. There was something floating in my water when I got it.They had home fries or hash browns. Myself and another person at my table for hash browns. They ran out of hash browns and tried to home make some. What they brought out was an oily congealed mass of potatoes. They were BAD. (I did not ask them to do this either)The sausage patties were like air hockey pucks.The biscuits and gravy were probably the best thing I ate, but still were not good. Tastes like the biscuits and gravy from Hardee's.The worst part is that my meal was $15 before tip. So on top of not enjoying my food, it was pricier than I would have liked.And that's all I got. I do not recommend this place to ANYONE. Just don't.

We had the all you can eat catfish and it was delicious. It was very crispy and cooked perfect. Service was 5 stars, food was 4 stars but the floor and lemonade dispenser needed some attention. A very good option for home cooking.

Get here early if you want to ensure you will get to have a special of the day as they do sometimes run out of them. Service is good & friendly! Love the hometown mama's home southern cooking

Food was excellent cooked to order not half done and warmed up like chains. Small hometown diner. Fun to be there listening to the locals.

Service sucked, food was not great.. cheap but not worth it. Drive a little farther my guy..
