hey, Kellog's has been non-stop since they "soft-opened" last Thursday, and there is no way there were closed by any one. They were so damn busy, they had to close for a couple of hours to re-group. So for those other neighboring restaurants that are paying you to give them a bad rap, you're wasting your time. Everyone is happy they are back! Mixologist, bartender, what's the difference. Drink up!! They have great beer selections!

I haven't been into the new Kellogg's yet, but I'm sure it's not really upscale. People aren't going to be torn between DuMont and Kellogg's, I'm saying. It's still just a diner. As for this "mixologist," I'll believe it when I see it. And then I will punch said mixologist in the face, and tell him to get the f*** over it, you're a bartender.

live on powers and this place ALWAYS sucked going back 20 yrs before the FIRE, except under many hours of drinking and then MAYBE a burger deluxe ( you can't f..up a Bdeluxe right?)...?

Upscale is over. Didn't these douches get the memo?

Get over yourselves, this is not a third world (or second world) country, people have the means and the intention to improve things.

Last time I was in there some kid got stabbed by the bathroom - by another punk, not the shabby upholstery. I asked for extra ketchup for my fries.

holy shit. There were always a few things you figured wouldn't change about a neighborhood regardless of how upscale it went and Kellogs was one of them. I can't imagine what the crew found when it tried to scrape X years of nasty grease off the kitchen and dining area floor. Knowing how they do things around that place they probably just laid a carpet over it and hope it won't eventually rot out the foundation.

whaaaa? mixology at Kelloggs? last time i was there, the only mixology i got was a gang banger threatening me with a knife to get in the ladies in front of me. i guess lamb shank is better than those turkey burger deluxes....fucking TIMES are a CHANGING.

You forget to mention that this place has already been shutdown by the health department since it reopened.

Good move. In a recession everyone goes for the diners that have the best lobster and mixed drinks.
