Jenny’s Country Kitchen — Restaurant in Santa Fe Springs

Firstly, I want to say that the staff and customers were wonderful, and the atmosphere was fun and friendly. However, the food is not the best. It's edible, but it lacks flavor and has a weird texture. I ordered the French toast, and honestly, I thought they used stale bread for it. It was eggy and rubbery, and seemed like they cooked the bread with just an egg. Considering myself a French toast lover, having tried many, this was not the best. The price was not bad, but I honestly didn't enjoy it. Next, I tried the menudo, as a friend recommended it, but it had no flavor and was not worth it (I would not recommend it). Their hashbrowns were also bland and tasted like boiled potatoes. Even the toasted bread I got on the side was low quality; I would say Bimbo toast would be better. Their fried chicken is overly fried; the chicken inside was not bad, but overall, it's just average.

On the positive side, the sauce they served was delicious, and that's all I can say about this place. Also, the horchata was enjoyable, although it tasted like the powdered stuff. Their waffles were pretty good, but not exceptional.

I wanted to like this place because it was local and had good reviews, but I feel like they have room for improvement. There is a lot on the menu, so I can only speak on the four dishes I've tried. It could be that I got a bad batch of food, but if this is considered the norm, I would not...

Menudo Sunday took a twist. Our normal go to place is closed until March. Wifey and I decided to give Jennys country kitchen a try. Place is conveniently located near our daughters home in SFS. The parking is a bit tricky as there are spaces in front, in the back, and along the side street. Place was super busy. Plenty of staff to greet, seat and get your order taken. We looked at the menu and there are a lot of good home style dishes and Mexican favorites. The menudo we had was not bad. Dish had plenty of meat. Minimal on the maíz (hominy). I like a fairly good amount in mine. The broth seemed a little on the thickened side, something I am not used to. Wifey and I liked our menudo and we will be back to try other dishes but not make a destination for menudo. The place is small so you may need...

I just want to say that this place exceeded all my expectations. I told my girl that I really just wanted to sit down at an old school comfy diner, enjoy coffee and have a great breakfast. I had the chilaquiles with asada and two eggs over medium. She had the chicken and waffles. We also split a banana nut muffin and biscuits and gravy. The chilaquiles with asada were better than my mom used to make em! The chicken and waffles were so good, definitely didn’t fail. The biscuits and gravy were a solid. And to top it all off the service was excellent. Our server made us feel right at home. It’s a little small on the inside but the workers are so efficient and are constantly checking in on you. 10/10 I look forward to...
