I have ordered breakfast for take-out a few times from Red Kettle, and I have been satisfied each time. The breakfast portions are filling, quality is fresh and home-made, and the prices are very reasonable. The owners of the restaurant are a couple, both of whom are very friendly. The breakfast #1 and Mexican Omelette are delicious options. I have not tried their other dishes. The interior of the restaurant resembles a typical mom-and-pop diner - nothing fancy. However, their breakfast is great. The photo I have taken of the menu is to provide a clear, updated version of their menu, with updated prices. Important note: they only accept debit or cash, no credit cards.

This little family run diner is always a reliable stop for lunch or breakfast. I’ve never had a bad meal here and I’ve been going here for years. It’s my go-to if I’m in the area and need a good lunch. My favourite is the prawn Wor Wanton soup, but everything I’ve had is good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic budget meal with a home cooked style. It is 2/3 cost a dennys meal and way less greasy. I dont know why some idiots here complain this isnt some high end fancy meal when this is priced the way it is. You come here for a comfortable home cooked meal at a hreat price, thats what it is.

If you are looking for a place for great breakfast/lunch with reasonable prices, give this place a try. First time coming, and I felt pretty impressed. The owner lady was pretty friendly and straight to the point, and within 7 minutes the food was on my table. I ordered Hot Roast Beef Sandwich and was surprised that someone would put gravy on a sandwich, but it was delicious. This place seems to offer a wide selection of food, Canadian and Chinese (Canto). Will definitely come again when I am around.

Got the breakfast poutine! Very good value as it came with two eggs and 4(!) pieces of bacon! Very nice people also running the place, I will defiantly be back :)

Tried their sweet and sour pork and beef and had half rice and half noodles. It was good for its price. Definitely left the restaurant feeling full!

Great lunch diner with quick and filling food. The price reflects the quality of the food but the daily specials are affordable and great tasting. For lunch on the go, especially during a work day, this is my number one pick in the area. Diner is bare bones for atmosphere and esthetic, but it’s a quiet place for a good meal. Coffee is decent if basic. Will be coming back.

My favourite spot for breakfast in a town with many good options. Unpretentious, very reasonable pricing, family run, great service, old school diner. Like stepping back in time, in a very positive way :) Will try their lunch offerings next time. Bring cash for tip as their debit machine doesn’t prompt you for one - very refreshing to see in 2025!
