Damn. Old timey diner, affable chatty waitresses (including the owner), great food, great value. So unassuming from the outside (left) you’d be likely to pass by if you weren’t looking for it, or one of the locals that has made a daily habit of stopping in for the last couple decades. I know I would if I lived around there.
Perused the menu, ordered the “Country Fried Steak” to which the response was “I’m sorry, we’re out, you should try the chicken fried chicken, it’s really good.” But of course, I HEARD her say “chicken fried steak” cause that’s what I was thinking about, but was too confused at that point to ask “what’s the difference between Country Fried Steak and Chicken Fried Steak?” If I would have asked, I would have understood at Kendalls, the latter is chicken.
Some think eating chicken with eggs is kind of weird. Cycle of life kind of thing. My neighbor down the street, Al, who raises chickens in his back yard, gets so many eggs he ends up feeding lots of them back to the chickens. Ok, that is weird. Cannibal chickens.
The ‘steak’ was ample,a nicely crisped crust, and a handsome piece of breast meat inside. Big bonus, it’s served with sausage gravy, a smooth and creamy concoction with nice chunks of breakfast sausage. Add a couple eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, and you’re gonna get outta there for less than seven bucks.
It’s a very long breakfast and lunch menu,and on a Saturday morning, there were empty tables. If you’re tired of waiting for a table for an hour at some place on Randall Road on the weekend, head down to Elgin. You’ll be happy and richer at the end of your meal. CASH ONLY. ATM in the bar across the street.
