Victor's Kitchen — Restaurant in Pinellas Park

1st time customer, party of 2, arrived 30 minutes to close. When asked if take out or dining in, I said dining in if there was enough time. The two employees said I could dine in but rolled their eyes and had a rude tone. I changed to take out because of this, and they started arguing with each other about the food! A couple elderly people were sitting with the staff and they all would talk about every single customer walking up, specifically rudeness about not wanting to have to serve them. I just moved here and was looking to find a nice local spot but this was not a welcoming environment. When they say they close at 2:30, it means they all leave and go home at 2:30.

This is an established restaurant with a good "usual" crowd vibe. Thinks Cheers, without the beers. Many of the patrons knew each other, and the waitress knew many by name.

They were nicely golden brown with a crispy layer but still soft on the inside. Good texture, not overcooked. I will be going back to try...

Victor's Kitchen is a quaint little hole in the wall restaurant that is open for breakfast and lunch. They are open from 7 am until 2:30 pm and are closed on Mondays. Our waitress Kandi was so friendly and welcoming. She stated that she has been working here for over 15 years!!! She was very pleasant and cheerful. She kept our drinks full and even offered us drinks to go. The main downfall of this restaurant was how long it takes to get your food after you place your order, which took us almost an hour. The waitress did inform us of this before we ordered and we were not in a rush, so we decided to wait. Once the food was delivered, is was tasty and made to order, just as we requested. My husband and I split a Ruben and fries meal. It...
