About

Edison Kitchen believes good food brings people together. That's why we focus on using the highest quality ingredients, while still maintaining reasonable prices for our guests.
The Food
The creative, but traditional American menu focuses on the highest quality ingredients at the most reasonable prices for the guests. The seafood is always fresh, and the meats are the highest quality, certified Angus beef, pork and organic chicken. Additionally, all marinades, dressings, sauces, rubs, salsas and pastas are handcrafted in-house daily.
When available, we offer seasonal veggies, fruits, and other local ingredients, so the menu changes with the seasons. Our servers and kitchen staff can work with your dietary restrictions and allergies, so please notify us when ordering.
