Ma’s Kettle

This place is a total gem and the history is amazing. I haven’t had a bad dish yet!!!

Good BBQ and good service. I would like to go for dinner some time!
The BBQ Pork Sandwich was delicious!

My husband and granddaughter and I had lunch at Ma’s kettle. The pulled pork sandwich and the stuff flounder were excellent. The service was good I would definitely rate this a 4 star and look forward to going back.

Amazing food and quality. Only 4 star because the service is so slow. I work 3 minutes away and I can barely get back in time for a 1 hour lunch. Absolutely amazing food.

What happened to Saturday breakfast? Some of the best cream chipped beef and biscuits. I really loved going to this place on Saturday, bummed it’s no longer open on the weekend! This is a small, country restaurant. Good parking and sitting is usually never an issue. Hope to visit on a weekday that breakfast is too good!

I’m going with a three-​star review for this place, although a second visit may yield a fourth — or a drop to two. One visit isn’t enough to tell, here.
We popped over to Ma’s Kettle for a quick lunch; none of the three of us had been there before. I was excited by the ambiance and the menu — this has the look of a great, traditional American restaurant of the kind you don’t find around this neck of the woods anymore.
Between the three of us, we had the pulled pork sandwich, the pulled chicken sandwich, and the cheesesteak. Fries and onion rings were in attendance as well.
The barbecue sandwiches were solid, but I’ve had better. I’ve also had far worse. The cheesesteak was reported to «suck» and from what I saw, yeah, it probably did. If a sandwich could be anemic, this one was.
Now what I saw going past to the other tables — fish fries, mainly — looked great. I suspect their other American comfort food dishes will hit the spot. I’d also need to try their ribs to really get a good, complete picture of this place.

We went for lunch at Ma’s Kettle on one of the first chilly, rainy day of the fall.
The Savage restaurant was cozy inside with a menu of American standards — sandwiches, salads, barbecue and meatloaf. The signs promote a homemade taste so my friend and I went with homemade creations, a pork barbecue sandwich and the meatloaf.
Meatloaf comes with a gravy, a pretty nice way to warm up and fill up. The sandwich was packed with shredded meat and a relatively sweet sauce. This isn’t reinventing a classic. This is the classic with a homemade taste just like they advertise. It’s comfort food, and we enjoyed the lunch even if half of a order is all of the meatloaf that I personally need.
If you go to Ma’s Kettle, I’d go straight-​forward. The mashed potatoes were thick and creamy. Skip the vegetables because you can steam broccoli at home. The barbecue isn’t Kloby’s Smokehouse, but it was a fine sandwich as we talked and kept an eye on four-​month-​old Ethan who had eaten at home.
Ma’s Kettle is open for breakfast and lunch. They close at 3 pm. It’s a friendly place. They split our orders onto two plates. They kept filling the iced tea. If you go, consider making your dinner by stopping in the Savage Mill for a loaf of Bonaparte Bread.
