I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant today and was blown away!! The setting was cozy, the food was amazing, the portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and Abby S. our server was wonderful! Unfortunately I am on a fluids-only diet this weekend and wanted to try their homemade soup so chef Dan generously gave me a bowl of turkey bone broth, plus an extra container to take home. The broth was amazingly flavourful and hit the spot! We had a great experience and can't wait to come back again and try more of their delicious food!!

10 out of 10! These folks have home cooking and service down to a science! From the moment we arrived until we left with our takeout container we were utterly impressed! The staff absolutely works autonomously and are all helpful and greet with a positive attitude and smile. The epitome of amazing service. The food was faster than could ever be expected for such amazing quality. The lasagna was the absolute best either of us have ever had in any restaurant, the fish was perfectly cooked and the hand cut fries were perfectly done. The Caesar salad was delicious as was the coleslaw. This is the first time we visited and we are looking forward to the next and next to try more of their large menu!

Review title: Step, step, step...... Stopped in while on our road trip, for an early supper, it wasn't that busy when we arrived, but was when we were finishing up. Food portions were really big, ours and others that were dining around us. I found it odd that you could order a sandwich, burger or wrap then pay an extra $5+ for a side like fries....I didn't want a large "dinner" meal, so decided to get poutine, which was a big portion and was good, despite the gravy not being very flavourful. My fellow diner ordered an open faced beef dinner and said it was good, cole slaw was good too as I tried some. It seemed a little disorganized with who was serving us and looking after our table as we had three different Servers during four meal, not including the young woman who worked there who walked around and past our booth a LOT, not sure if she was on a daily step mission, but when I asked for a refill on coffee, she said she'd have to get someone who could help and that person never came, so I asked the next person walking by...lots of activity, not so much that was helpful lol Maybe an update in training could strengthen the service side of this place, this contributed to my lower star rating.

It's a stand-alone house on the side of the road near Owen Sound. The place was quite spacious and had a cozy vibe, I liked its western style. Staff was friendly and attentive. The Kettles Omelette was overwhelmingly cheesy; the cheese dominated the other ingredients, especially the ham. We had to order extra sausages to add some meaty taste. The Breakfast Club was good; the combination of peameal bacon, tomato, egg and cheese worked well together. Although there was again a strong cheese presence, it managed to be balanced by peameal bacon and tomato. Eggs Benny were decent. My parents loved them, so I'll give it 4/5 based on their feedback. Home fries were soft and buttery, perhaps too mushy for some tastes. Coin fries were crispy. The pancakes were fluffy and tasted homey, and so was the apple pie, can easily tell it's homemade. Coffee came with free refills, which was great. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 3.5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 3.5/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 4/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 4/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 3.8/5 OVERALL - 3.76

Huge portions for what the prices are. And a huge selection of food. Take out is an option, they give a little beeper for when your order is ready so you can sit outside at the picnic benches. It took about 15 mins for 5 people's worth of food to be ready. Cookies and other baked goods like pies and butter tarts were also very nicely priced and readily available. Inside is usually pretty cramped but there's always extra seating outside.

The restaurant has a very friendly vibe; it feels like dining at a family member’s house. The staff are very friendly and it feels like they’re sending good vibes, too. We got here so late in the evening, right before the closing time; but they accepted us with open arms; maybe they figured how hangry we were! Lol We ordered “Roast Beef Dinner” and “Fish and Chips”. They were served with coleslaw, garden salad and mashed potatoes. I strongly recommend the Roast Beef Dinner. We tried “Carrot Cake” for dessert and enjoyed it, too.

Incredible location to make a stop and eat a deli breakfast to recharge your batteries for a long hike in the Bruce peninsula. The old cuisine dishes are just a treat to your palate. Very welcoming cozy place to enjoy with friends or family. Recommended.

Atmosphere: Fun and vibrant! Service: Excellent (thank you Amy!) Food: Generous sizes, BUT (sometimes) mediocre! We had the Lasagna and Caesar Salad, and the Pork Schnitzel with Spaghetti Special. I also tried their famous gravy on mashed potato… The pasta was BLAND, as was the Schnitzel, which was also dry and overcooked. This may be more the place to get burgers and fries, or breakfast. Great service and atmosphere though! ______________________________________ UPDATE: Since we've frequented the area a number of times since this review, we've tried this establishment several more times. I've increased the over-all rating to a 4. The food rating is really a 3.7. Some dishes - like the Fish & Chips for example - make this restaurant worth another visit. ON THE PIES: The Cream Pies seem to have changed. They were actually amazing last Fall (2023), but now seem more oily, gelatinous, and lacking in flavor. NOT the "Back Home" flavor and texture they once were!

We stopped in whilst passing through town and had an excellent meal! We were stuffed after dinner but couldn t resist taking dessert to go. THAT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE! We both regretted not getting two. We will be going back. If we re anywhere near, we will drive out of our way to go again. Dietary restrictions: The gluten free brownie was delicious.

Have been here a few times, and usually the food has been fairly good. This time, however, I ordered the pork schnitzel, and was very disappointed. Two small, round pieces of fairly thick pork, and it wasn t even crispy. No way that should be called schnitzel. lol. Avoid this menu item if you like real schnitzel.

The staff at Kettles is incredible! Even though I didn t dine there, the aroma of the restaurant was inviting. When I got a flat tire down the road and my cell battery was running low with a faulty charger, the Kettles team came to my rescue. They kindly allowed me to use their phone and one of their chargers. I m definitely stopping by for lunch the next time I pass through. A big thank you to the Kettles staff you truly value your customers and community!. Parking: Many spots to choose from with a lot of lighting.

Restaurant had a very pleasant friendly atmosphere. Their host Jessica was very pleasant and efficient, had me table in a short time , maybe 10 minutes condersidering the place was packed and a line up of people at the door. My waitress was also pleasant and quick and had my clubhouse sandwich for me shortly followed by my desert, homemade raspberry pie with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Clubhouse was very good and fresh .Homemade raspberry pie was to die for. Kettles restaurant was very clean and well spaced out. One of the best place Ive eaten for home made food . Recommend this restaurant Kettles for everyone. Just outside Chatsworth just heading towards Owen Sound on the right handed side of the road.

Uncomfortable seats and the place was freezing. I ate my meal with my coat on.

April 22, 2024

I ordered chicken tenders and there was a long hair embedded in with the chicken tenders. They did get me a new order of chicken tenders but I had to wait for my new plate to be brought out and I was out with a friend. I did not get any discount for the inconvenience of a hair in my food and contacted the owner. The owner said he would get back to me and did not get back to me. When I finally reached him over a week later, he said it does happen and it would be too expensive to do anything more. On a previous visit for breakfast, I ordered medium hard eggs and they were not cooked; they were slimy.

Cozy restaurant, the food is also pretty good. I wish their burgers included the home fries in the price and not as an extra, as it would make it a more filling meal, however, their kettle melt was really tasty and authentic. The establishment itself feels homey and their bake goods at the front counter look really good. Vegetarian options: Not a ton of options, however some dishes are perfect to order without a meat protein and still taste really good. Parking: Big dirt lot next to the restaurant, plenty of space.

Unfortunately, my experience wasnt the greatest. I heard this place was a good place to eat. Everyone was talking highly about it, so I thought Ill go check it out. So me and my family went and we waited almost 30 min for our food, other people who came after us were served first and we all had very simple sandwich and fries orders We finally got our food. I ate 1 half of my sandwich that was good, and then I picked up my other half and found a long piece of hair in it. I was so upset I would if let the waitress know, but when she took our order, she had an attitude, so I didnt bother. I just pushed my plate aside and drank my water, paid my bill, and left. I spent over 100 bucks in here just feeding my kids and tipping the waitress with the attitude I was hoping to get a good experience out of it, but unfortunately, I didnt. So I will not be back

After a fun family day in the sun at Sauble Beach we started heading back to Toronto. As we drove, we passed Kettles Back and it caught my eye. After everyone debated/grumbled/whined, I made the executive decision and we pulled a u-turn and headed back. Funny enough, earlier in the week one of my girls randomly said we should go to the US and go to Cracker Barrel . Maybe that s why this place Carlos our as the exterior is reminiscent. We had the best experience!!! Our waitress was absolutely the best. Super attentive, quick and super kind. The food was well priced, wholesome and plentiful. The menu had an incredible selection and something for everyone. Make sure you get dessert. How can you beat a homemade slice of pie for $5?! Again, absolute full value and well priced. Even the kids (teens) at the end remarked how much the loved the experience and wanted to go back. It s been a while since I last enjoyed a meal and experience like this. Well done! I highly recommend stopping here if you re in the area. Kid-friendliness: I mean, my kids left wanting to go back. If that s not kid friendly .I don t know what is.

Shoutout to Jocelyn. She gave us life with her humour and friendliness. This is just the kind of comfort food and people you appreciate on a road trip. We tried their pies, bread pudding, chicken wings, burgers, and turkey.

We recently visited Kettles. The food and service were excellent. The parking lot was disgusting. It was hard to get in or out of your car without stepping into a pool of water. Why would such a successful Restaurant not pave the parking lot? Art Alderson Surrey, BC Parking: Disgusting. Needs to be paved

AVOID!!! Based on the reviews this was a place I really wanted to try on my trip to Owen Sound today. Restaurant was crazy busy when I stopped by and I get very uncomfortable in large gatherings, even before the pandemic. The dining area is very cramped and loud. Staff was extremely rude when I asked if I could see the menu for take out and one of the staff lashed out at me saying that Id have to wait to be seated.

Ive been passing this place for more than a decade wondering what its all about. I finally stopped by and found out. Its about absolutely dreadful coffee. You see, thats often the only thing people remember. The meals might have been great, but well never know, we were so put off by the coffee we couldnt finish the food and just wanted to leave. It wasnt just a bad pot, it was bad, bad coffee. I know. Bad coffee happens to be the number one restaurant mistake. There is a brilliant, cheap, and simple solution to this and Im not selling a thing. And you cant go by Weve had no complaints. Were Canadians, remember.

The food is good ... the service is not . You get more than one server and therefore mistakes are made , I asked for no ice and I got ice when sent back it came back with less ice I was asked if I would need cutlery with my turkey dinner which made me irritated YES I would need cutlery. Seemed like a no brainer.... The girl that took my used plate hit my booth by my shoulder and never looked back . Service is horrible . I wont be returning .

Atmosphere was good, service was good. Food however was the weak point. I got the country chicken, it was lukewarm and the cheese was congealed as it had clearly been microwaved, fries and corn were good however.

Honestly the atmosphere could also be a 5 depending on the day. The food and prices are so good that it is often packed which means it can also get pretty loud... But dont let that stop you.

The food here is great and the service is relatively quick. There is a wait to get a table usually but it isnt too bad, about 10-15 minutes usually. Their homemade pies are awesome!
