First time trying Crain’s Kitchen Door County. Biscuits are absolutely perfect, generous amount of jam given and the biscuits chicken pot pie is so comforting and delicious!
Crains kitchen is the cutest hidden gem in Door County! We stopped here for lunch while visiting sister bay and couldn’t be happier with our food and service. The owner was the one who made all of our food and served us, giving us recommendations about the menu. We decided on the BBQ chicken and chicken pot pie sandwiches with the date and goat cheese salad. That plus a bowl of soup and two drinks, our total was less than 30! It was a steal. Great value and great food. Highly recommend!
Amazing comfort food! Their daily fresh baked biscuits are perfect. Cooked golden and fluffy, not too moist but not too dry. Everything was fresh and made to order. The menu was varied and they had some great vegetarian options. The owner was extremely friendly and seemed to love his craft. The interior is very simple, a great place to grab a quick bite before hitting the lake. I highly recommend Crain's to anyone looking for a simple but incredibly tasty comfort meal.
This hidden jewel was a treat to take my GF wife and boys to! The sweet potato biscuits were amazing and GF!
Wonderful little gem in sister bay. We stumbled upon this place looking for a light lunch. We were greeted by the owner who explained his menu to us and gave a sample of his pozole. I ended up having that (pictured). My wife had the chicken pot pie biscuit. (Pictured) Also ordered a side of gluten free sweet potato biscuits. Excellent. Food is well done and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this place.
We checked google maps in Sister Bay for a breakfast/lunch option after finding out that Al Johnson’s Scandinavian Restaurant had a 90 minute wait...and we found one of our FAVORITE HIDDEN GEMS of our trip to Door County... CRAIN’s KITCHEN ... The tiny space is tucked away and recessed between two other businesses halfway up the hill on N Bay Shore Drive, a creation of a guy named Andy (Crain)... who loves to make biscuits from scratch and top them with aromatic homemade creations like the Chicken Pot Pie Biscuit that I devoured with joy. The chicken pot pie filling was concocted of stock made from scratch, so lovely! My dining partner had the Egg Sandwich Biscuit and which he described and “simple and cooked perfectly” and the biscuit was flaky and flavorful. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a Pulled Pork Biscuit Sandwich, which did not disappoint... the pulled pork nearly melted in our mouths and was accompanied by crunchy cabbage which added to the sensory experience of this delightful meal! Go see this guy, Andy, at CRAIN’s Kitchen, and if he tells you there may be a short wait for fresh biscuits, stay there and wait! You will experience one of your favorite meals in Door County!
Fantastic little restaurant that more people should visit. We went for breakfast one day and then lunch the next. The owner made our food both times. The biscuits and gravy were great. The veggie biscuit sandwich was fantastic and I loved the spicy Szechuan noodles. It's one of the most affordable food shops in town. The proprietor asked us about our food and genuinely cared. It doesn't look like much when you walk in but we had two very good experiences.
The place is SMALL. Doesn’t look like much but YA’LL IS IT GOOD! I have been craving chicken pot pie and it hit, the, spot. Everything was so good. Even the 8yo said the biscuits and gravy were delicious! Everything is fresh and so good.
