Kountry Kitchen — Restaurant in Morehead City

Restaurant Review: Kountry Kitchen – No-Nonsense, All-Satisfaction

If you’re the type who doesn’t need frills with your eggs and who values strong coffee and stronger service, let me steer you straight to Kountry Kitchen. This place is the kind of hometown gem that reminds you why diner-style eating still holds its place in America’s heart—and stomach.

From the moment we walked in, it was clear: no gimmicks, no fluff, just food done right and service that doesn’t miss a beat. Our server was a standout—friendly without being fake, sharp without being pushy, and downright clairvoyant with the coffee pot. She dared us to finish our cups before she made her way back, and I swear, she had that refill in hand before the last drop even cooled. That’s a bold move—and she backed it up.

The food? Generous, piping hot, fresh off the line, and delightfully basic in the best possible way. This isn’t some curated, small-plate experience with ingredients you can’t pronounce. No. This is bacon that crackles, biscuits that could pass for pillows, and gravy that sticks with you. You come in, you order, you eat, and you roll out—satisfied and full, the way grandma intended.

And let’s talk value—because in a world of $18 avocado toast, Kountry Kitchen still believes you should leave full without emptying your wallet. The price was more than fair, borderline generous considering the portions and the quality.

Bottom line: Kountry Kitchen doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it just keeps it turning, smoothly and without apology. You won’t find art on the plates or Instagrammable cocktails here. What you will find is something a lot harder to come by these days: honest food, honest prices, and people who still take pride in doing the simple things exceptionally well.

Highly recommended—just don’t blink or you’ll miss your...

Normally I'm a fan but today this was our second attempt to get breakfast; we were ignored at the first restaurant and when I drew attention to that fact I got snapped at because "they had a party of 40, there were only 3 waitresses and somebody would be with me when they could!" Nevermind that a waitress took the time to bus the empty table right next to us without so much as a hello. We were greeted right away when we arrived at Kountry Kitchen and while we were waiting for our drinks a party of 20 or so started squeezing into the table behind us. We moved to give them more room, or drinks arrived and our waitress said she was going to give us a minute; guess who ended up with the party! 10 minutes later they had their drinks and she was talking their orders! We asked to pay for our drinks; the last at the checkout was nice enough to waive that charge but once again, I got snipped at by a waitress, "she was going to get our order next and put it in first". What ever happened to customer service? When did it become okay to ignore or speak rudely to a customer? I wanted small and local, instead...

Kountry kitchen is just a wonderful restaurant for breakfast! For the record I have never had lunch here. So all three experiences in the last two years have been for breakfast. I’ve had the corn beef hash eggs with hashbrowns and in my mind for the price you cannot beat it! Service is fast and friendly! If you’re in the area and looking for fast good breakfast at a reasonable price this is the restaurant do you want to check out! Plenty of parking you can’t go wrong again the pricing just amazes me and how reasonable they are. I highly recommend the country kitchen for breakfast. Someday I plan on eating there for lunch seems like they’ve got some great specials and I cannot wait to try them! From the crowd during breakfast I can’t imagine that lunch specials and lunch service would disappoint. Check them out for breakfast and I’ll let you know my review the next time I join them for lunch! The other thing is the cool country style...
