We own the recipe to the world’s best pancakes and we’re not shy about letting folks know about it. In this business, you can’t lay claim to “The Best Pancakes in Town™” and not be able to back it up.

We also pioneered the first line of signature Skillet Breakfasts® and continue to lead the way with new
product innovations. We offer a line-up our competitors
can only dream of. Exciting new recipes coupled with traditional favorites are precisely engineered to wow
our guests and provide operational efficiency. Our
promotions generate the sales levels you need to taste success.

Treating Folks Special Since 1939
Country Kitchen started with the vision of an enterprising young boy by the name of Bill Johnson. Bill's dream for a restaurant was one with a reputation for farm-fresh, flavorful food served with the best of Country Hospitality. His philosophy about business was quite simple, but highly effective: "Treat folks special." That ethic, along with appetizing food, helped Country Kitchen catch on.

Join Our Growing Community
Country Kitchen® provides numerous opportunities to join its community. Whether it is a single unit restaurant or if it is developing an entire market, you can be part of a thriving franchise. We invite you to visit any of our locations and get a sense of what Country Kitchen® is all about.

From small towns to big cities, Country Kitchens can be found in locations around the country. Today's Country Kitchen's include free standing buildings, travel plazas and hotels. Franchise opportunities are flexible and available for new construction, conversions and integration.

A Country Kitchen restaurant also offers you flexibility. You can choose to offer buffets, round-the-clock service, regional menu favorites, alcohol and customized menus.

There’s Pizza in the Kitchen
Country Kitchen® is the first family dining concept to make the aggressive move into co-branding. Why co-brand with Breadeaúx® Pizza? The partnership puts two different but complimentary revenue centers in one building. While The Best Pancakes In Town™ and Skillet Breakfasts™ drive the morning sales, Breadeaúx’s Hand Tossed™ and Crispy Crust™ Pizzas can boost your evening business. The best part of this partnership is that Breadeaúx® Pizza operations easily fit into new or converted Country Kitchen® buildings.
