The food was absolutely amazing wonderful delicious!!!! I had the Skillet Mac and cheese with an egg on top! PERFECTION! One of my friends had the quiche another one had croissant French toast and one had the Patricia Burger similar to a patty melt but...with onion jam... We all live over an hour away from this gem of a restaurant but decided to meet there and we will definitely go back! I spoke with the chef and he was just a delightful man as well as the waiter! If you're in the Lehigh Valley area this is a must place to visit!More

This is such a quaint place to eat. My husband and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the quaintness of the restaurant, and the food was really yummy! We will go back the next time we are in town.

My last breakfast here was not so great, the coffee tasted old, the potatoes were cut as if no one was looking while doing it, and the eggs were dry in my opinion. The people are nice, and it’s ok for a basic breakfast place...with a few specials on the menu. I know there are many regulars that visit often, but from what I see the vast majority of the “excellent” reviews are 2, 3, or 4 years old. when they are busy, you can be waiting some time for food. This restaurant is highly overrated, its just breakfast and its just average in my opinion.More

We wanted to find a local establishment near the college and this place answered our need for good food and quick service. Our individual dishes were delicious and definitely had a homemade feel. The place is small so not ideal for large groups but don’t...let that deter you from trying it out.More

I can’t recall a place where we felt so welcomed! Everyone was so friendly and provided great customer service. We had the shrimp and grits and the breakfast Mac and cheese. Both were delicious! We’ll definitely be back!

This place has ruined breakfast for me at other restaurants. Every time we go somewhere else or in a different town I always compare it to here, and it never stands up. From the old reliable eggs to the omelettes and quiches, to even more...exotic items on their menu it’s all good. You must get the potatoes, nothing else compares!More

I discovered The People's Kitchen 2 months ago during Musikfest. It offers a short menu of deliciously appealing American breakfast & lunch cuisine at reasonable prices. The food is wholesome & delicious, the serving sizes just right. The quirky decor is amusing and the engaging...& attentive staff handles your order & the bustling crowd with alacrity & aplomb — you'll leave feeling satisfied, and you'll be back for more. If you come & have to wait a minute for a seat, wait. You won't be disappointed.More

This is a small restaurant in a primarily residential area. In fact, it looks like someone's home. It is yellow and is on the corner. Our waitress was Ashley. She was friendly, attentive, and told us about the menu choices. I asked how they had...been affected by the pandemic and she said they have less tables now because of social distancing. There were 3 tables and six barstools for guests. We ordered Croissant French Toast $9, side of bacon $2, The Omelet $8, side of breakfast potatoes $1. The prices are very good. I think their side items prices are too low. The Croissant French toast was something I had never seen before. It was sweet and tasty. The bacon was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Hubby said the omelet was good and the potatoes were delicious. When we went to pay our tab, we were told that one of the other guests had picked up the tab for the entire restaurant. They just asked us to "Pay it Forward." We gave both waitresses huge tips, basically what we would have paid for our meal. What a pleasant surprise. They said the guest often does that when he comes to eat. Definitely reminds us to be kind to each other.More

Due to the virus, they moved the restaurant to their sister location at the Tavern at the Sun Inn at 564 Main Street. Plenty of parking in the garage behind them and more room to eat either outside on their beautiful patio, or inside when...the weather is bad. They expanded their menu and the chicken & waffles are amazing! Home made waffles with Duck fat panfried chicken. Covered with a chipotle maple BBQ gravy! Crazy delicious! The Tavern is also open for dinner and has a full bar available. The building is a beautifully restored 270 year old Inn that Ben Franklin, George Washington, and many founding fathers stayed in. Check it out!More
