This was a pretty cool surprise to find in my mailbox today! 💕 We are honored to be recognized and mentioned as the #1 restaurant in Chester for 2026 based on Google Reviews.
We're going to skip purchasing the award, but the recognition itself means a lot. Thank you to everyone that took time out of your day to leave us a review.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our family's dream. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. ❤️🍽️

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Jupiter 🌟
Meet Jupiter!
Jupiter joined the Kristen's Kitchen family to support her friends' family business and quickly became an important part of our team. She originally started in our dish area, but her incredible speed, strong work ethic, and ability to learn quickly didn't go unnoticed. Before long, she worked her way into a full-time position on the line, where she continues to do an amazing job every day.
When she's not at work, Jupiter is attending college and working toward her goal of becoming an orthodontist. We love seeing our team members chase their dreams and build their futures.
A few fun facts about Jupiter:
🍫 Favorite Candy: Twix & Lindor Milk Chocolate
🦀 Favorite Kristen's Kitchen Meal: Crab Platter or Banging Shrimp Platter
Jupiter brings a positive attitude, a willingness to help wherever needed, and a determination that inspires those around her. We are so thankful to have her as part of the Kristen's Kitchen family and can't wait to watch her continue to grow both here and in her future career.
If you see Jupiter during your next visit, be sure to say hello!

SOLD OUT! ❤️ Crabcakes 💕
Wow... we are completely overwhelmed in the best way possible.
We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the incredible support you've shown us these past two days. The turnout has been amazing, and we are beyond grateful for this community that continues to support our family's dream.
Because of your support, we have officially SOLD OUT of crab for today. Unfortunately, we won't receive another delivery until tomorrow, so we are unable to make any additional crab dishes this evening.
The good news is we still have plenty of other delicious menu items available! If you've never tried our wings, fried shrimp, steak & cheese, burgers, chicken tenders, salads, this might be the perfect time to find a new favorite.
Thank you for your patience, your kind words, your reviews, and for choosing to support our family-owned restaurant. We are truly humbled by the love you've shown us.
We can't wait to see everyone again Tuesday with fresh crab back in stock!
❤️ Kristen, Rob, and the entire Kristen's Kitchen family

🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT 🌟
Meet Gabe! 💙
Gabe is one of the hardworking people behind the scenes here at Kristen’s Kitchen, helping keep everything clean, organized, and running smoothly in the kitchen. A strong dish team keeps a restaurant moving, and we appreciate everything he does for us every single shift!
A few fun facts about Gabe: 🔹 Favorite color: Blue
🍤 Favorite meal at Kristen’s Kitchen: Fried Shrimp & Hush Puppies
🦀 He also LOVES our Crab Nachos!
🌸 And today he absolutely melted my heart by bringing me flowers for Mother’s Day 💙
Gabe came to us through our partnership with Commonwealth Autism, and we truly could not be happier to have him as part of our restaurant family. We’re incredibly thankful for the partnership and the opportunity to work with such amazing individuals in our community. 💙
You may not see Gabe out front very often since he works hard behind the scenes, but he usually takes his lunch break around 1:00 PM if anyone wants to say hi and show him some appreciation! 👏
