Original Jack's Country Kitchen

Visited on a Wednesday morning with a group of 10 - seated 1 group indoor and outdoor. Restaurant was quite busy - service was a little slow and a few things forgotten/had to remind and ask to bring out. -Fries -Vanilla Milkshake (asked for it/wasn't om the menu) -Pancakes -Kids Benedict Everything was pretty good. Would recommend for a casual breakfast or lunch.

A solid breakfast diner in the heart of Avalon. Stopped in for my first time this morning and overall we had a nice breakfast. It’s not quite as good as a lot of spots on the mainland, but given its location I feel they did a good job. It was quite busy on a Thursday morning, so I’m sure it can get even crazier on weekends. They have a very large menu filled with all sorts of classic dishes so choosing some thing was a bit of a challenge given how many options there were. Our server was polite, although we just saw him at the very beginning of our meal and not again. Our dishes arrived actually pretty slowly, but given that I’m sure the kitchen is smaller than a lot of mainland kitchens I won’t fault them too much for that. Pricing is also pretty fair given that it’s island food and feel it would be a good stop if you’re in the area and looking for breakfast. For my breakfast I chose the Dungeness Crab Eggs, Benedict and thought it was pretty good. The sauce was more watery than I prefer, and the Dungeness Crab was very chopped, almost like burger meat, so I wish it would’ve been more in chunk form like you see in a Dungeness Crab Cocktail. Also the hashbrowns could have been a bit crispy but overall not a bad meal. They do have Kona Coffee so the coffee was very strong and tasty, which may have been my favorite part of the meal. I would suggest if you are in Avalon and looking for a nice place to have breakfast.

We visited here for dinner though. It's very popular breakfast place. We were very happy to be escorted to a nice table. Esmeralda took the orders and helped guide us through the availability of Italian dishes. I took the salad and the minestron soup. They were excellent. Noodles with meatballs and well cooked. Rub yeoli dish with spinach. Everything tasted, yummy drinks were available. We went in for simple Coke and water. The service was very good and being a birthday. They gave a complimentary tiramisu, which was icing on the cake. Excellent place. We enjoyed all the hospitality and great service. Very reasonable prices and made evelyn, even more memorable

Wandering around Catalina, of course you’re trying to find the right spot to eat. I was in the mood for a diner kinda brunch. Well the spot we picked basically sucked. It was clean inside. Booth was really small though. I’m thinking the owner is like Russian? The food was so so. Nobody in our group enjoyed it. I would never in my life go there again.

Delicious brunch food, we got the bay shrimp Benedict and the Portuguese sweet bread French toast. Both were delicious and good portions. They had decaf coffee which was a plus. I also thought the marmalade and strawberry jam on the tab tasted very homemade and fresh. One thing I didn’t like was how they offered us water and we said yes. Then they gave us a bottle and charged us for it on the bill. We wouldn’t have bothered saying yes to the water if we know it came at a cost. I didn’t encounter this anywhere else on the island so it was clearly a money grab. Aside from that, the staff were super sweet and we had a great dining experience!

Great food! Small space, definitely felt a family vibe there. This place is felt unreal, just 50 feet away you got the beach and other shops. I will definitely come back!

We sat outdoor seats and they are nice and decent spot to have breakfast. We both got chicken and waffles, you will get nice and crispy 4 chicken wings and a soggy waffle. I assumed it’s premade. Not crispy at all and kinda cold. Maple syrup was pretty runny wand watery..? The staffs were nice.

Nothing fancy about this place, a bit dated if I say so myself. But I’m sure that’s where the discount is coming from. The soda pop cups are more European sized, with just a refill; with the exception of coffee. The food is delicious, I had the eggs Benedict which for some reason most restaurants butcher. My whole family enjoyed their viddles as well. Too many to list. Cons: the Helppp, my, my this sir with no hair seemed to be bothered. I felt like at any second he would say hurry up and byeee. Regardless, good food bad service.
