Small venue but nice. Service was attentive almost to a fault. We had hoped to try their onion rings but they were out so we opted for the French onion soup which was disappointingly sweet without condiments at the table to offset. Their Mac and cheese with Nashville hot chicken was a good comfort food option as was the ham and cheese sandwich. Good overall but the kind of place I will have forgotten by the time I return to Wichita in a few months time.

Overall a great first experience. We went about 3pm so it was slow; service was obviously quick at that time. Waiter was friendly and offered suggestions. My southwest bowl was fantastic and my wife really enjoyed her BBQ chicken Flatbread. And we shared slice of carrot cake for dessert, which was also amazing. I liked the intimate feel of the restaurant.

A delightful find! Bright and light with a perfect gentle breeze from the ceiling fans to cool off from the wicked hot summer KS day. I was craving a spicy chicken sandwich and was quite pleased with my Nashville Hot Sandwich with not-too-hot sauce, pickles and added avocado slices (extra, perfect!) while my other had the spicy burger with onions and peppers. The fries were enhanced with parsley, maybe, and exactly salted to my preference. We were thrilled to find out the chef won Guy Fieri's Grocery Games! HOW did we miss that episode? (And how did my parents fail to mention?) great vibe

It was a neat little restaurant. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and it seems like a perfect place for lunch, or just a night cap. It's small and quite, which made it very relaxing! The food was good. The the service was on point and very friendly. If you're in the Old Town area looking for a great lunch, looking to grab a quick snack or just a nightcap check them out!

The food was very good! I had the quiche (which they only have on Wed and Sat) and salad. The piece of quiche was huge and delicious, though I prefer a more crunchy crust. The garden salad was fresh and I loved the home made ranch. The service was good, though it was busy and we had to ask for a side of ranch 3 times.

What. A. Find. I did takeout, but interaction with the staff while waiting was great. I broke a personal rule of not ordering chicken from a restaurant but went with the chicken piccata base on the staffs recommendation; it came over a bed of penne in a white wine sauce with asparagus on the side. Superb is all I can say.
Ambiance inside is great, small, right by the tracks. Very cool, well priced, not massive portions, which is GOOD, but def more than enough. Can't wait to try everything else on their menu.

Downtown in an old train station building so it's a cute old building with decent sized dining room. We ordered a grilled cheese and a Turkey Brie Panini with French onion soup. Both sandwiches had an odd mayo like sauce that was not quite flavorless but not quiet not and neither of us were fans. The French onion was good. Kettle chips were tasty. Our waitress was excellent. Neither of us were really impressed but was decent. Looks like from other reviews the dinner options are much better so I'm sure it was just our choices that were so so options. It's a huge menu and had lots

Definitely one of the best "finds" on our latest road trip! The earlier reviews led us to divert slightly off the I-135 to give the place a try, and we were not disappointed! I ordered the Macaroni and Cheese with the Nashville Hot Chicken, and I believe it is the best tasting Nashville version I've had - including when I had it in Nashville! The combination of sweet and spice was perfect - Enough to give it a kick, but not so much as to lose the sweetness! My daughters had the Penne Alfredo and the Chicken and Spinach flatbread pizza, respectively, and both of them really enjoyed

This is my second time at The Kitchen, once for a business meeting and this time on my lonesome. Each time I've only sat out on the patio because it's been such beautiful days, beware though if you want to sit out because there is no shade so that sun will be hitting pretty hard if it's out.
I had the Ham and Cheese on this trip because I wasn't wanting anything too fancy and to be honest I was feeling kind of frugal. I was little hesitant because I never get ham and cheese out at restaurants because it's one of those things that if I can make it home why order it elsewhere

I struggled deciding to write this review and finally decided that it might have helped my decision to come here, and decided to go ahead and give it a go.
My SO and I prefer local places wherever possible so when we were craving some lunch we decided to stop in and see how good this place was! We started with the fried veggies appetizer which was pretty great, the ranch was yummy and the batter was perfect.
I had wanted a quinoa salad and was disappointed that not only does it have onions in it, it wasn't listed on the menu.
I chose to get the special that day which was grilled cheese

Wow! I really didn't expect to have such great food in Kansas. We had a group dinner here and everyone loved the food. Favorites were the asian bowl, the chicken piccata, the creamy spinach pasta, and the whiskey beef stroganoff. Kudos to Kalee and Ryan for being such great servers.
One comment - the food is on the saltier side, so if you don't like salt, please let them know.
They are part of the gold cap card, so if you're staying at a hotel that offers you this card (Hotel at Waterwalk does), then you'll get 10% off your meal. They also have a frequent diner card, so

So we planned to just go downtown because of needing something different and we had house-itus. With no expectations, we wanted to stroll around Union Station to see what was happening.
Plenty of parking and we found this quaint little joint called The Kitchen. First impressions was like when you were at grandma's house - eating in the kitchen! Very cool, loud as my grandma's kitchen and fortunately - the food was just as good as you can get! This isn't a sport jacket place, but the food tasted better than we've purchased in high-end Plaza restaurants in KC. I had the Whiskey
