America's Kitchen — Restaurant in Galveston

You just never know how a 1st impression will go... Yep My 1st Time to eat here. I walked here after a U.T.M.B visit. I was Soo HUNGRY after fasting for a test. I find the mom n pop type atmospheres appealing, So I Stopped In To Check it Out! I've worked in the food industry for 2 of The Pigstands Inc..in Beaumont,Texas. Anyhow.... I had The burger and fries basket meal for $8.95 and I subbed for onion rings... Wich was $3.00 EXTRA And A BIG Glass of Coke $3.95 The burger was off the chain but $3.00 EXTRA for burnt onion rings was not so charming. When I got ready to leave I asked for a to go drink and to my surprise it was a small kiddie size to go drink glass. I have to say This Place Has Its Great Points But Lacks Attention Wherein To Keep Folks Wanting to Come Back. I Wish Y'all Well And A Better Understanding Of Keeping The Customers Coming Back for All the Right Reasons.... Run it like You care and mean it everytime that door opens could be a 1st impression Remember This... *Good Quality Food *Fair Prices No Matter The Location And A Friendly Observant Staff If You Wouldn't Eat It.. Dont Serve It!!! That order should not have left that kitchen window with Burnt O'Rings. Oh I Forgive but I'll Never Forget That 1st...

I’m giving this restaurant a two star rating ( because it’s actually a 4 star) not because of the great food or service but because of the seemingly lack of concern for COVID-19. A family member had eaten at this restaurant several times prior to the pandemic and was excited to take me to one her off the beaten path local restaurants. I was somewhat skeptical of the place upon walking in, although the place had nice homey feel to it, my first concern me was the young hostess who greeted us was not wearing a mask. As she seated us, I noticed that with the exception of one the kitchen staff, non of the waitstaff/ servers wore any masks and were casually talking to the customers at their tables. I must have looked very uncomfortable or concerned because my family member asked me if I wanted to swItch our order to takeout , I said no I’m fine because but both us were are fully vaccinated and at minimal risk. It just surprising to me and that in this environment , a restaurant which has such very friendly staff and great food wouldn’t be practicing a little bit more social responsibility for...

Over all good experience and would definitely recommend their breakfast.
