Our Food
Always fresh. Always made from scratch.

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal — but K&W sure comes close. That’s because we’re passionate about home-style cooking, and we believe that making affordable meals from scratch is the only way to cook. We knead our bread dough by hand, use fresh raw vegetables and meats, and start our pie crusts with good old-fashioned flour, water, and butter.

Fresh + Wholesome

You’ll never see a microwave used for cooking in a K&W kitchen. Each day, we prepare over 100 dishes from scratch, and we make everything in small batches to guarantee freshness and control waste.

Careers
Our Employees

The K&W experience is defined by our dedicated employees. Many of our staff members have been with K&W for over 30 years, with some over 40 years. From those who are in the kitchen and cooking at five in the morning to the individuals who serve our customers with bright, smiling faces each day — our employees keep our mission alive, and we’re blessed to have them on our side. If this sounds like the kind of work family you’d love to be a part of, let us know!
