Found this gem of a place while pedaling back to my car with an eye on the sky. The swiss-mushroom burger was tasty. Grilling the bread was a good call. The peanut butter cup was the icing on the cake.

My body language after my first bite into the Haddock sandwich tells a person everything they need to know about a late lunch at the Original Candy Kitchen. It was close my eyes, sigh a big gratuitous sigh, and smile. Oh, and let's not forget the seafood bisque... after all, I went there just for the soup (NOT). The service here is friendly, courteous and also a bit on the "You're family here" side. Went back for a late breakfast about a week later and let me tell, you this kitchen knows how to do it (compared to some other recent places I've been at home or around Raleigh). The ambiance - woody diner-esque with a little nook to put personal items so they're out of the way. I now understand why this is a local favorite.

I have placed a order for Easter candy two years in a row. The orders have been shipped out of state. Each order was received with in three or four days. My family in South Dakota have been very happy with their treats! Thank you for the outstanding customer service! I will be placing a order again next Easter.

Love these ladies! Always make a point of having a meal when I'm in town!! Comfort food served with a smile and I always buy some candy for my wife. Love it!

Not new to this place at all. Came here a lot as a young man working shutdowns at Gonna. Always got a burger. So like 20 years later, and now living in the area, gotta go there! First, we went to Candy Kitchen a year ago for lunch. Had the meatloaf Sammy with hand cut fries. I have said if I have a last meal it would be OCKs meatloaf! Tender, moist, perfectly seasoned. And homemade fries? My fave! Sry, I tend to go on tangents. I had a huge serving of sausage gravy and homemade biscuits. I like eggs with this. Gravy was loaded with sausage and the gravy wasn't too pastey like some restaurants. Simply excellent Eggs were perfect. Wife's Omlette was also loaded and moist. I'll be back with more meatloaf stories! Oh, and they sell homemade candies. Wife says they are terrific!

Good food as a rule and very good candy especially for holidays. Could kind of use a remodel

I've had occasional light meals at the candy kitchen and always enjoyed them, but recently had the opportunity to enjoy some dark chocolates. Each was unique with particularly good fillings. They were far tastier than others from a long-established Rochester candy store! That says a lot.

Super cute local diner style restaurant. Lots of options, kind waitresses, and a candy shop to purchase your deserts to go! Seating is a little snug but clean and definitely a vibe when you're a newbie. Got the chicken salad special which came with broccoli soup. Soup was great! Chicken salad was really heavy on the Mayo. In fact they put more Mayo on the bread for the sandwich. Very average but good with a lot of fresh lettuce. Cant wait to come back and try something else. They even offer hand cut fries or frozen! Got the black jelly beans to go and they were incredible!

This place was pretty good. There weren't a lot of places around where I was staying that seemed good for breakfast, but this place came up. Although a little out of the way (15 minutes), i'm glad I came. It is definitely a classic diner setup, good service, friendly staff, typical diner menu. I got the Reuben Benedict, which was pretty good. Eggs were cooked correctly, the corned beef was good, there was maybe a little too much sauerkraut, and the hollandaise sauce had flavor but was looked like it was just sitting around for a little bit. If I was in the area, i'd stop by again, i'd like to presume some of their other food is good as well, and it was constantly busy while I was there.
