You gotta eat here! Visiting the Owen Sound area and this place came recommend by the locals. We were not disappointed. Thr food was incredible and large portions. My chicken ceaser wrap would have fed 2...but no matter how full I was, I was not leaving without their Special Carrot Cake ..warm cake, icing to die for, vanilla ice cream with Carmel drizzle. My partner had the brownie which came warmed with ice cream with fudge drizzle and whipped cream. Both deserts were beyond delicious and could have easily served 2. It is a busy spot but we were able to get in for supper without a wait as we came a bit later. The only reason I am giving the service a lower rating is because we felt a bit rushed. I was still eating my supper when we were asked if we wanted desert and we just had the feeling like we need to to rush to eat. That being said, this restaurant closes at 8pm and we did not get there until around 7. We did not intend to linger but I realize they they were trying to get ready to close. Also, keep in mind that they do not have a liquor license. Overall all, exceptional food. And will be back when in this area again. :)

Overall awesome experience. Waitress was friendly, service was very quick and my potato pancakes was awesome , hadn't had potato pancakes in like 10years, now I know the place to get them. I could barely finish them, wanted pie but no room.

We just ordered the open face Roast Beef Dinner and the Chicken with mushrooms, onions and gravy dinner. It was absolutely delicious. We have been eating at kettles for a number of years. We have not been in some time and our last visit was not great, I have to say they’re back. It was fantastic, hot and the gravy was amazing! Thank you for a great dinner!! I would recommend both dinner meals above you will not be disappointed. Sorry no photos we were hungry

10 out of 10! These folks have home cooking and service down to a science! From the moment we arrived until we left with our takeout container we were utterly impressed! The staff absolutely works autonomously and are all helpful and greet with a positive attitude and smile. The epitome of amazing service. The food was faster than could ever be expected for such amazing quality. The lasagna was the absolute best either of us have ever had in any restaurant, the fish was perfectly cooked and the hand cut fries were perfectly done. The Caesar salad was delicious as was the coleslaw. This is the first time we visited and we are looking forward to the next and next to try more of their large menu!

I live in Toronto, but I’m out here visiting my boyfriend. I told him I was looking for a good place to eat that taste like a home cooked meal so we decided to go here as everyone always recommend it. The food from the appetizers to the main course to the bread pudding dessert are all phenomenal like my expectations were completely blown. The place was really busy, but they got us seated quickly.

Kettles Back Home Cookin’ in Owen Sound is a breakfast lover’s dream! This cozy, family-run spot on Hwy 6 & 10 feels like stepping into grandma’s kitchen. I had the classic two-egg breakfast with, toast—generous portions, perfectly cooked eggs, and crispy, non-greasy that hit all the right spots. The coffee came with free refills, a nice touch. The gluten-free menu was a pleasant surprise for my friend, offering plenty of tasty options. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The rustic, western-style vibe adds to the charm, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. Highly recommend stopping by for a hearty, delicious breakfast
