Food is great and the portions are big. My wife and I will usually split a plate and it's usually enough. It's one of the best mom and pop dinners around.

Love this place, lots of daily specials. Can't get enough the chicken and waffles. Great service and friendly servers.

My first time here for breakfast. I had the ham and cheese omelet and it was delicious.

Good was decent but nothing to really say is definitely go back. Chicken fried steak was chewy at times. the gravy is too sweet. Service was good. For the price you can go to Katz n scramblers across town for chicken fried actualsteak or the egg spot down the block for the California egg Benedict for example. Again nice people but Karen's is missing that homemade touch it used to have.Perhaps i need to go to the Palmdale location again, it has more of a personal touch maybe the cook is the difference.

Food is delicious! Love this place super friendly. Thanks Karen’s Kitchen!!!

Used to be a great place until the new owner took over. He's very stupid and has no idea of customer service. Plus he raised all the prices up about 40%. The new staff are ignorant and unfriendly and are mostly from the country south of us. The service has gone way down and they started substituting cheaper food. Over $16 for a basic breakfast after tax and tip. The quality is awful now. Good luck if you go there. Better go to the bank first.

Our server was great. The greeter was not. Had to get up and get our menus after sitting for a while. The sausage was cold then I realized 2 links were still raw. I won’t be back. I tipped the mandatory tip because of the waitress. Sorry I won’t be back even if this place has great reviews. Maybe an off day but I can not eat raw food and it wasn’t worth me complaining so ?

Country fried steak,hash browns, side biscuits and gravy, two eggs. I couldn't eat it all, finished off for supper. Delicious

Good food ok service. Pace inside is very bare. They don't carry any turkey sausage or turkey beacon. So if you don't eat pork, and you want to have some meat, your only choice is steak which is on the pricey side.Not too many options for kids either.

Karen's is our favorite breakfast spot. Clean, welcoming, great service, and great food. They have the absolute best steak and eggs, hands down!
