Kay's Restaurant

As always a pleasant experience at Kays as far as service and quality of the food. I had the house special that day which was open face roast beef with gravy fries, it was good, I took that great fresh bread they bring to the table and sliced it up and made sandwiches, my kids had the chicken fingers and mac and cheese, my wife had a Philly cheese steak which I could not help but accept her offer to help eat that as well which was also very good.

the waitress was very accommodating and prompt and for the most part they all seem very pleasant.

There is one thing I came to realize the last time I was there, the local ATM's are still on dial up and so is Kay's credit card system which always seems to be busy or tries a few times before it goes through, so paying the bill took a bit longer with my debit/credit card, so I would recommend bringing cash with you.

as far as the food, I cant think of a bad experience yet and as far as travel, it certainly fits the "all American" image, it has these great historic cigarette vending machines in the hall and some old decor and it also has a trolley style dining area and a section with moose and bear and other animals on the walls. It is a nice local country experience and family friendly.

Kay's Restaurant

While visiting the restaurant across the street for breakfast one Saturday morning we noticed that Kay’s had a breakfast buffet starting up Mother’s Day, on Sunday’s only. We couldn’t wait to give it a try. The breakfast across the street was pedestrian and doesn’t warrant a write up.

What a find this was. Randy and Carole Worhrle and their children provide a memorable buffet experience. This is not one of your usual buffets, nor is it brunch. It is breakfast offered with made to order omelets done for us on several occasions by daughter Leeann who really knows her omelets. This last visit of the summer had Randy at the omelet pan as Leeanne has gone off to college. The sons of the family Nicky and Chris are busy managing the kitchen and producing a family recipe french toasts that are to die for. They taste like a hot sticky bun.

Beside your cups of hot coffee and cold juice you can choose from fresh fruit served in a watermelon, bread pudding, Belgian waffles, Blueberry blintzes, eggs, cheese and Canadian bacon on an English muffin, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, bagels, pastries, cereal, and if you request it toast.

The omelets are what greet you as you walk in the door and on busy days you place your order before you even have a seat. On that first day it wasn’t quite as busy and Carole brought me some of her homemade jelly with my toast. We are now regulars and we get a greeting when we arrive. Oh, did I forget to mention, all this is only $7.95!!!

The atmosphere is very soothing, pastel colors and soft music playing. The walls are decorated with crafts. If you prefer there is a glass atrium, which offers a large additional seating area. There are booths along the walls and tables in the center. This is a children friendly restaurant.

Now Kay’s also serves lunches and dinner and since the buffet stops the week after Labor Day we will have to try another meal until next summer. Believe me, we can hardly wait.

By the way, the restaurant serves Italian food made from Randy’s mother’s recipes and Kay was her name.

Open 7 days a week 11am-11pm.
