Amazing brunch in Los Gatos at the Southern Kitchen. You know the food is good when you can end up in line for over 45 minutes.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and great menu to choose from. We came around lunch time and decided to try the brunch menu. We tried the roasted beet and goat cheese salad, a fresh biscuit and the chicken fried waffle. The chicken fried waffle is a twist on chicken and waffles and definitely not something you could whip up at home. It was unique and flavorful. I would recommend splitting this dish with some other people as it can be a lot of fried dough and sugar for one person. Everything that came out looked delicious. We will definitely be back and try the benedict and a scramble.

If you want a real Southern breakfast experience, with great service, then this is the place to go! It’s not huge so it can get busy at weekends, prepare to queue. But it’s worth it! The menu is massive, with everything you could think of ordering, plus lots of unusual dishes (check out the fried chicken waffles). The portion size is huge, and the food was delicious. Add unlimited coffee top ups, fresh juice, mimosas, and hot sauces, and you have one fab cafe.

This iconic Los Gatos coffee shop has been serving classic American fare for nearly 30 years. Now owned by a former employee, the food seems as good — if not better — than ever.

Delicious food with great service. We both ordered the Eggs Benedict. I had the Nova Scotia variant with smoked salmon and fresh fruit on the side. Everything was wonderful and our waitress was on top of refills and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great food. Service was quick all the food was delicious, served hot and quick. The chicken & waffles was great, the Los Gatos “Lu” was even better (homemade biscuits, fried chicken & country gravy). We will definitely be coming back to try out some more.

We had fried chicken and waffles. Surely an iconic Southern dish. The breading on the chicken was not crispy. I’d describe it as heavy. Hard, even. The chicken was not properly reheated – it was certainly not freshly fried – since some parts of the interior were cool / barely warm. The waffle wasn’t much better. I expected fresh out of the waffle iron/ toaster with crispy edges. Sure, with bits of gravy, syrup, and butter on it it’s not going to be crispy on all the raised edges, but surely the outer edges where nothing remotely liquid got near? Nope.

Please remember this is just my opinion of my experience while a visit this place. The wait time was great. Even though they were busy, we were able to sit within 15 minutes. Their service is great and they do a great job asking if you need anything. The menu has a great variety of things to chose from. They have healthy options as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience what the locals eat on a weekend. As for me I hope I will see you around.
