    Classic cozy little counter service diner with yummy pancakes, house made hash browns and super friendly service. It's tiny so expect a wait. Portions are generous so go put your name on the list and walk a few blocks before your meal to build up an appetite.

    LOVE the blueberry pancakes and sausage. Sweet tiny place just down from Bogart's with maybe 18 stools. The prices are great. The only thing that needs work is the coffee. I wish I could bring my own because the food deserves better, but it won't stop me from coming for the yummy scratch pancakes and sausage.

    Fantastic, classic diner in south Minneapolis for those mornings when you need burnt coffee, greasy hash browns, and a pancake the size of your head. It checks all the boxes of a fast-order breakfast joint. 10 top counter? Check. Will you smell like butter and breakfast sausage from a tube the rest of the day? Absolutely. I wouldn't want it any other way. The server and cook were friendly and we got a nice cup of (perfectly) bitter coffee to help take the edge off a rough Sunday of one too many. At 7:30 it was relaxed but folks were starting to roll in when we left around 8am. I'll say if you want a gourmet experience you're on the wrong place. Everything comes prepackaged except the pancakes. Sausage squeezed from a plastic wrapper, Sysco bread, and potatoes from a tub. But that's exactly what I want from a diner! I'm here because I'm hungover; not to chat with James Beard. Hash browns have 2 cups of clarified butter dumped on them and are pressed and left until perfectly tender with a crispy shell. 10/10 would upset my cardiologist again. Sausage is classic. Pepper and sage forward. Smashed to give lots of crispy lacing. Eggs were scrambled well and not rubbery at all. The fact that you can get a plate-sized pancake as a carb vs toast is the best part. They're scratch made and pretty good. Nice and tangy from the buttermilk while being relatively fluffy. Could use more seasoning overall but it hit the spot. Overall it scratched my Waffle House itch at a higher price point and slightly better quality. I'll definitely be back more often for the pancake and free refills.

    Eggs, bacon and hash browns - sub one pancake for the toast. It's a lot of food and really good!

    Talk about a classic Minneapolis kitchen/dinner. It's small, food comes out fairly fast, and in very large portions. Love the owners and if you are craving large pancakes and house fried potatoes, this is the place for you!

    I can confidently say I've had the most satisfying/comforting meals at Our Kitchen, whether or not i've had a little too much to drink the night before - there's something about a greasy diner breakfast that nothing else can top. I usually go with the Kitchen Special which comes with a big mug of hot coffee that's refilled before you realize you need a refill; two eggs; a generous serving of crispy hash browns that are cooked in a copious amount of butter (which are like crack when you take your first bite, just extremely satisfying;) a flattened, crisp, lacy sausage patty; and a ginormous, fluffy, flavorful pancake (or toast... get the pancake!) There's definitely enough food to require a take home container (things reheat well in an air fryer.) There's ketchup, a few different hot sauces, and syrup if needed, I usually go with the blueberry hot sauce on everything except my pancake. It's very cozy (there's not a lot of room inside) and it isn't the quickest place to get breakfast (sometimes there's one person running the place (taking orders, cooking, taking payments, etc.)

    Such a cute little local spot! Took my friend for a quick breakfast. It is quite small so if it isn't nice enough to sit outside, expect to sit at the bar or window bar area. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. It was busy so service was a little slow but the food was great. The bacon was perfectly cooked. I definitely want to stop by in the summer so I can sit outside!

    This place is tiny, tiny. They have a long bar and that you can watch them cook and then 2 more that look out the window. I don't think more than 20 people can fit in there at once. But, don't let that stop you. The food is excellent and it's pretty cool watching them make the food right in front of you.

    Bacon, Eggs, Hashbrowns, pancakes, and French toast

    Probably the best breakfast I've ever had in my entire life. Everything cooked to perfection, with the best most hospitable staff you could ask for. I travel 10x more than any of you reading this and this breakfast place is king. We fly 3 hours literally just to eat the breakfast during Christmas time, or whenever our cravings can't take it. Our last trip we came to Our Kitchen every single day we were in Minneapolis, and will be coming back. Counting down till the next trip!

    Omelettes and French toast on the side. Hash brown

    This little breakfast place gave me feeling of warm and active. Everything is delicious and people are up and going. Very small for the group of people, so you probably have to wait to get seats. Foods were big portion, couldn't even finish mine lol. Service feels like I'm in NYC, she was fast and get to the point, I like that style of service so it was great.

    I'm obsessed with Al's breakfast in dinkytown for the retro vibes and tiny local place, so I've been really excited to try Our kitchen for the similarity. It lived up to the hype and is a great brunch option in the Uptown area! We waited around 20 minutes at 10:30 on a Sunday. With the limited seating and singular grill to prepare food, it was a longer brunch experience but definitely worth it. The staff were friendly and efficient at bringing people in and out. I tried the pancakes with blueberries and chocolate chips and would definitely recommend them. Very buttery and on the denser side, which I prefer. Be prepared for a wait on the weekends but the food and vibes will be worth it!

    Another order we saw going out that looked amazing!

    We found this place by accident! Just woke up Saturday morning and started searching for a great breakfast place in Minneapolis. "Our Kitchen" was the one we landed on! They were very busy and already had a line, we were quoted about 50 min. So we strolled around the neighborhood and enjoyed the nice weather. This place it little, maybe 12 seats at the countertop and and 4-8 seats at the 2 lower countertops, plus a few outside tables. We were seated in the middle of the main countertop so we had a front row seat to all the action! The cook was a WIZARD! Juggling multiple orders with just one cooktop grill and a few frying pans! Unbelievable to watch him work! Pancakes, steak, hash browns, bacon, and sausage patties, all going on the cooktop while he whipped up eggs and omelettes of varying preparations and ingredients! Food was fantastic! We had pancakes(best ever), sausage patty, cheese and green pepper omelette, and of course their hash browns. All three employees worked together like a well oiled machine and were so friendly. We will be back!

    Small cooking area but the cook was a demon!

    See all

We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet.

When offering drinks, I asked about the kind of teas they had. Too bad they don't even have an herbal tea on the list. I ordered the thick bacon and eggs. The bacon was really good. The eggs were perfect. However, I asked about replacing the potatoes with the fruit. Because of allergies, I asked what kind of fruit they serve. I expected a surcharge to change to fruit. I was not told that there would be an extra surcharge to leave out my allergy fruit and go with only one kind. This was bad on the part of the server. They only had two choices of bread and no choice of gluten free bread. That severely limits the choices of someone sensitive to gluten. My husband ordered the Harvest Scramble. Luckily, they were able to leave out the green peppers. Interesting that so many dishes had green peppers in them. He enjoyed the eggs, but ordered the fruit, instead of potatoes. He said he would like the fruit mixture which had melons, pineapple and one blackberry. He ordered the wheat toast which he said was not memorable. All in all, we enjoyed the experience with a number of flaws. They need to tighten up their menu and make sure that people with special nutritional needs are attended to carefully.
