Anne FJune 30, 2013The kettle burger was just so-so. The ground beef wasn't seasoned too well so had to add ketchup for flavor. My husband's clam chowder was blah. I like Souplantation's version much better!
The French Onion Soup is the way to go here. Nuff said.
The muffins are way too good!! Always. For breakfast get huevos rancheros, mmmmmm.
Emily MeersandOctober 19, 2010Get a honey-bran muffin or the French onion soup: the Kettle's two most amazing signature items!
Greg RubenSeptember 6, 2011On a budget, get a cup of French onion soup and a bran muffin. It's like $4.
- Standby favorites: French toast, Kettle Breakfast, Meatloaf.
UndercofflerJanuary 20, 2010Spinach artichoke dip...you're thinking Applebees but The Kettle's is worlds apart. Best I've ever tasted.
I have not had a bad meal here. We would not drive from Santa Monica for bad food.
Kelly MarshallJune 24, 2011Food great. Service horrible. Always empty drinks, had 2 wave down server, never cleared plates/glasses - had 2 ask. Had to wave down server for all, including check.
thekruserJanuary 3, 2011The food here is not 'bad,' per se, but it is DEFINITELY not worth what you pay. I have had many $11 burgers and these are not even close. Chicken strips are tasteless. 'The Wedge' salad was good.
Stefanie PineApple PrincessNovember 28, 2010Do NOT get the french onion soup to go. Its NOT the same as having it hot out of the oven there.
