Kiss the Cook Restaurant

It’s a cute, beautiful cafe. Friendly staff, nice food. Good coffee and breakfast in Phoenix.

We were looking for a dog-friendly breakfast spot and were so happy to find Kiss the Cook! Their dog-friendly patio was perfect, and our pup loved it just as much as we did. The staff absolutely pampered her with her own water bowl and even homemade dog treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. We especially enjoyed the mini muffins, homemade cinnamon roll, oatmeal, omelet, and the best breakfast potatoes I've had in a really long time. We’ll definitely be back!

If your mom has passed away, and your wife ain’t skilled in the kitchen, then you need to visit Kiss the Cook Restaurant. There’s no place in Phoenix like this place, I tell you what. And if you’re a good southern boy, here’s your sign… you gotta go. Now remember, in small towns service is slower, and this establishment accurately resembles the small town service. It’s friendly, no doubt, but these people are human, so cool your jets. The coffee was served in a clear glass, which I’ll admit is a touch strange. And to our surprise (or perhaps our misunderstanding of the menu) we received a basket of mini muffins and butter (tossed in with the muffins to soften it, nice touch!). The muffins were a mixed bag of flavors, not quality, and were fantastic. Tangentially, I don’t understand why these individual containers of “butter” are refrigerated in the first place, which necessitates the tossing in with the muffins for melting prior to the spreading process, but I digress…. When our meals arrived we were starving, and we dealt a swift devouring to them. We were both quite pleased with our choices, and the leftovers were minimal. Chris, our server, was sweet like the muffins and kind like, well, a server should be. For our breakfast dessert we grabbed the last slice of cherry pie and an afterthought slice of blueberry, both à la mode, which means with ice cream. Don’t you dare order pie without ice cream, or Chris will give you that side eye. And you don’t want that side eye from Chris.

Great home atmosphere and home cooking. Some restaurants say its home cooking and use sysco foods and frozen potatoes. Not at kiss the cook! Real cut potatoes and the hamburgers are hand made. Probably the best hamburger I've had in a long time. Service was awesome! I'll definitely be coming back and recommending to my friends and family. See you guys soon !!

When you walk in it has a nice, warm, and cozy feeling. The waitresses are so nice, friendly, welcoming, and helpful on recommending breakfast! I had the biscuits and gravy! Mom had the huevos rancheros and my sister had the pancake plate! We picked at each others food 😋 everything tasted good! But the All Star of the bunch, was the homemade red chili!!! Omg!! Amazing!!! We will definitely be back! Thank you all 😊❤️
