What would Saint Joe be without Kay’s Kitchen. Quite a legacy going way back to the days when the LaPlayette offered gourmet dining and the owners moved onto another food venture. That legacy continues today with Tanya and her happy loyal staff. Best breakfasts and a lunch buffet all from scratch.

The pie here is outstanding! I love when little diners offer home cooking and home made pies. We missed out on the Sunday brunch buffet, which ends at 2:00, but now we know! They also have a M-F lunch buffet. Real Minnesota food.

Excellent breakfasts. I ordered their Greek omelette with feta cheese And added avocado. This area really had a lack of good places for breakfast and was very happy with our meal. Very much worth the drive out of town for this local place. I will be back.

Excellent customer service, quick with groups and kids menu. Serves breakfast all day every day!!! They have a lot on the menu so it took me a long time to figure out what I wanted. I eventually got the philly cheese steak with tater tots. It was awesome! They need sweet potato fries or sweet potato tots! The pie is excellent as well. All different kinds!

Inconsistent food quality. I was there a couple weeks ago for the fish buffet and the fried fish(cod) was very good. I took my mother-in-law this past Friday and the fish(only Pollock on the buffet) was horrible. It seemed undercooked, was smashed up in the container from not being rotated, and was very salty. My mother-in-law tried the salmon on the buffet and it was so bad she couldn’t eat it. Also the soda was flat… Very embarrassed as I suggested Kay’s. Our server was a friendly.

Amazing Classic American diner. It reminds you of a time when people stood up for what’s right and fought for the little guy. I have been here for the buffet, lots of options and always hot. Again for the pie and was delightful! Recommend if you going though St. joe. Hope you enjoy!

We had breakfast and it was just ok. The hashbrowns were undercooked but the eggs and pancakes were good.

Standard American diner with bar seating and leather booths in the back. I chose to sit at the bar and the waitress was very attentive. I opted for an omelet for dinner, although they had a buffet starting when I got there. The omelet was alright. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. It was a bit greasy for my liking but the fresh avocado was a nice highlight. I got a piece of French silk pie to go and the waitress boxes it up with a plastic fork for me since I was staying at a nearby hotel. The pie was amazing. Very silky smooth and tasty! That made my whole dinner!

Stopped for brunch when in town visiting family. Great breakfast menu available all day. The apple cakes were delicious, apples baked right inside topped with cinnamon and sugar, yum!

Kay’s is everything you want in an old school Mom & Pop diner: familiar dishes, great breakfast, good service, and amazing pie!

For a greasy spoon, this place is fantastic! LOVE the many pies you can get, although I’ve only had breakfast here. Get the Johnny Hashbrowns – excellent!

Kay’s is quaint and sparkles with small-town charm. The menu includes the history of the restaurant and all the wonderful women who have owned it in time past. Their food is traditional American and is incredibly fresh. Their prices are so great — or proof that I’ve been eating at city restaurants too long! If you are in the area and are hungry — Kay’s is a sure thing :)

Walked in today at 11 am. Sign said«seat yourself», so we did. Sat in front dining area, where one other woman was also sitting. No server acknowledged us. Two others came in 5 minutes after us. They were given menus after another 5 minutes. We were still not acknowledged, even after I waved my hand at the server. The first woman called to the server that she was ready to order. She was ignored. After sitting for 15 minutes, we got up and left. Won’t return. If I could give no stars, I would.

I worked here back in the day, so I’m probably a little biased. But don’t miss this wonderful café. Any breakfast will impress you, and for lunch maybe the signature Dirk-l-burger. Waitstaff friendly and efficient – including local college students and one person who worked there when I did 30 years ago.(Yikes!) You can’t go wrong…

This is one of the best breakfast places in the St. Cloud area and from what I have heard it has improved vastly over the last few years. We were there on a busy Saturday morning. Service was spotty but workable. Forgot some items and disappeared at times, but were covering a lot of tables. For example, they forgot my egg and brought it after breakfast was complete and then didn’t charge me for it — but only after I complained. Buckwheat pancakes were ok. Potato pancakes were excellent. Biscuits and gravy were good. We will be back to try more of the menu. They had a lot of healthy options. They have some«fancy» oatmeals and egg white omelets. Its a great place to bring the kids.

Kay’s Kitchen is the go to place for the traditional Saturday breakfast buffet complete with egg bakes, bacon and sausage, rolls, fruit selections, and so on. But it’s the menu items that really stand out and make this place great. I love the various omelet and pancake options. Potato pancakes, yes! Buckwheat pancakes, absolutely! The service has always been friendly and quick.
