Went to Kunkel’s today with my mom, and wow! This place is something special. They’ve been around for 21 years, and you can feel the love and experience in every part of the meal. Our waitress, Denese, was so kind and welcoming, and shared that it’s a family-owned restaurant. That really stuck with me. Carol was also so sweet, it genuinely felt like we were having dinner with family.
The space is quaint, cozy, and beautifully designed. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy your food.
We started with the bacon-wrapped scallop, and it was incredible. Creamy, fresh, perfectly grilled, with a dressing that was bright and refreshing.
The house salad was also a standout. I tried both the balsamic and roasted red pepper vinaigrettes, and both were bursting with flavor. Definitely homemade, and definitely delicious.
For my main, I had the beef bordelaise; so tender, meaty, and comforting. Every bite was flavorful and cooked just right. My mom had the honey-glazed pork chop, and it was honestly unforgettable. Super tender, premium cut, perfectly glazed. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a moment and just feel it. The mashed potatoes on the side were creamy, full-bodied, and clearly homemade.
Also loved the fried onions! crispy, light, and just the right texture.
We finished with the pound cake, and it was the perfect end to the meal. Airy, soft, and just sweet enough.
Bonus points for being BYOB, which always makes things feel a little more personal.
Kunkel’s is officially on my list of favorite spots. Amazing food, heartfelt service, and just a beautiful energy all around. I’ll definitely be back.
