Houston, Texas
Country Kitchen
4840 N Shepherd Dr
Houston, TX
Hours: 6a to 3p mon-sat.
Closed sunday.
Gets 5 out of 5 eggs from "Mr Breakfast"
The menu says,
"Nothing fancy, just good food at a fair price. The best meal outside you mom's kitchen"
Lunch and dinner consists of the typical meat and three offerings at incredibly cheap prices. (One meat, three vegetables with cornbread or dinner roll-$4.75)
Freshly prepared chicken, steak, meatloaf and fish are the meat choices. Home cooked vegetables and home-baked bread round out the meal.
Lunch and dinner are good but Breakfast is what the Country Kitchen is known for. Items such as the Farmboy Deal (two eggs, any style, two pieces of bacon, two pancakes and link sausage - $4.75) are local favorites.
They have eight different omelettes (from$3.99-$5.95) and breakfast meats include steak, pork chops and hamburger.
I had two pork chops, two eggs., hashbrowns with grilled onions and toast.($6.49)
The meat was moist and perfectly cook. The hashbrowns were shreded and crispy on the outside. Onions were grilled and added at no extra cost.
They also have pancakes ( short stack-$2.25) waffles (a combo of one waffle, two eggs, two pieces of bacon and link sausage -$5.49). For a little variety the have a South of the Border Breakfast, three breakfast tacos with choice of meat.(Taco Supreme- egg, sausage, bacon, ham, potato, cheese and tortillas-$4.75)
The coffee isn't special but it's served in a thick mug and refilled often.
They do a brisk business in a large dining area with over 20 tables. It's not fancy but the service is attentive. There is parking in front of the restaurant with additional parking across the street.
Great value for the money!
