Our Kitchen is exactly as their name implies - you are sitting in the kitchen of one of your neighbors and they are serving you fantastic breakfast for very competitive prices. This is your mom and pops kind of diner and the locals love it. Throughout my meal, I heard the staff refer to tables by their customer names and only rarely by the table number - that is the difference here compared to your chains like Perkins or Denny's. Our Kitchen is tiny. There is probably 8-10 seats on the counter, maybe another 6 along the windows, and 3-4 tables of four-seaters outside. If you're coming on a weekend expect a wait, both to be seated, to have your order taken, and to be served. They are BUSY as any diner I've seen and were completely full between the hours of 11am and nearly 1pm when I was there. Service is slow because there is one do-it-all cook in the kitchen and they only have so much space on their grill. These folks earn your pay by great service and some lighthearted banter. All together, your meal probably won't cost more than $12 before tip depending on what you get. As others have mentioned, the hash browns are pretty amazing. Their pancakes are ludicrously large. Their eggs are done well and sausage seem to be homemade. Service is a bit slow but otherwise great so expect to stay here a bit. I probably drank 4 cups of coffee because they kept refilling it as I waited! Slower service is really the only reason I gave this place a 4-star rather than 5! read more

Omg! We are here from Cali for a wedding. Went to Our Kitchen based on Yelp reviews. Fantastic breakfast cooked right in front of you, by Danny just like you would cook it at home! Ohh, the hash browns! Everything was perfection. We didn't catch the name of our server but, she was great! She and Danny have a delightful, salty banter and work together like a well-oiled machine. The restaurant was just what we seek out, small and independently owned in a charming neighborhood. We discussed taking Danny home with us or him expanding out west to Cali! We're good with either option! Thank you Danny for helping find the bathroom! read more

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. I had the kitchen special. Eggs done perfectly, crispy hash browns, fresh ground sausage and a blueberry pancake the size of the plate. I will definitely be going back again. Weekends are crowded, so expect to wait. I went on a Tuesday and got seated immediately. Only 20 seats, but well worth the trip. read more

All was really good here for breakfast of pancakes, eggs, ham and grits. I actually sat outside which is most unusual, preferring inside. Everything was good. I would like pancakes burned brown though. Actually sat outside which I don't ever much like. Will return for...further testing! read more

We had a tasty, not-too-expensive breakfast at Our Kitchen. Plus, the people here were super friendly. When you arrive note that there is no waiting list, but rather you are put in a queue by the server (she recognizes the group by how many people are with you and what you're wearing, so don't make any wardrobe changes! Depending on the day, weather, time you arrive, the wait may be different. However, we waited a good twenty minutes or so before we got seated. Once seated, we placed our orders, and, probably because there were a number of tables seated simultaneously (but slightly before us) it did take a while for the food to arrive. Keep this in mind if you're in a rush and/or in need of food pronto. We got a breakfast sandwich and two eggs, hashbrowns, and a pancake (you can sub toast for a pancake) for under $15. The sandwich was okay, but the winner in my book was the egg plate. Eggs were cooked perfectly over hard (my preference) and the hashbrowns and pancake were perfectly cooked and perfectly salty and sweet, respectively. No meat even necessary (Did I just say that?!). read more

I have been a loyal customer here for years. I prefer "to go", especially since the pandemic. I love their Breakfast Sandwiches. I buy one at least 15 times a year. I ALWAYS leave a 20% tip, even though I rarely have time to sit & eat. This past Father's Day I had a plan to order 3 breakfast sandwiches for my2 adult kids& I to have breakfast together:) to start the day. I called & a woman answered & said we are NOT TAKING ANY TO GO ORDERS TODAY, & hung up on me before I could say a word. I understand they were busy. I did not let it ruin my day, but I found an alternative. Today, I thought I would try again. I called, a woman answered and asked me to "hold". I was driving/working, not too far from the restaurant. I was not on "Hold" technically, because I could hear every word being spoken by her. 0nce, she said "how can I help you" so loud, to a customer at the counter, I thought she was talking to me! She was not:( I kept driving to OurKitchen & was psyched to get one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches:) The place was busy, but there was a stool available. I sat down, still had my phone connected to the store. She said hello, asked me if I wanted to order. I said yes, I would like to get a sandwich to go, and I have been on the phone with you for the last 8 minutes hoping you would pick up. She looked at her phone, said "no you are not" while she disconnected me.....as i showed her the live connection on my phone, she hung up her phone, then went to the counter down a few seats & starting talking with another group of customers, & ignored me. I waited for a couple minutes, & decided I needed to go elsewhere for food in the future. Just a heads up to the restaurants & businesses out there trying to survive &compete. When you treat customers who regularly visit your business, sing praises about your food & the breakfast sandwiches to everyone they know, tip well, & despite being disappointed in a big way the last time, try again to have an enjoyable experience, & RUDENESS is your response, I just cannot seem to convince myself I should go back again, or suggest anyone else does the same. Again, you don't earn my business by being rude, unprofessional, & lie. It will be quite some time before I go back there, if ever. I apparently am not the type of customer they want. The sandwiches are a 5, but the service recently has been disrespectful, rude, & unprofessional. read more

I'm so happy I found this place, randomly. It's a little diner-esque place. My friend and I were so hungry--and literally no exaggeration the food was perfect. We both had the steak and egg breakfast with a pancake. It was the best breakfast I ever had lol seriously. The pancakes were soooo good--legit best pancakes ever--and the eggs were perfect and the steak was lol amazing. I'm so picky bc my dad's a chef but it was better then his I'll probably not go anywhere else now for breakfast. Also a plus, usually little places like this treat their regulars better then newbies--but the women and man treated us just the same. I didn't feel awkward and I felt welcomed. I'm telling everyone and I'm surprised I've never heard of it. read more

Our Kitchen - Steak and egg breakfast, plus pancake & coffee $12 so yummy!!!! I'll never go anywhere else I'm so serious lol - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Came here with a party of 4 on a Saturday morning. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. The place was small, looked like bar seating inside with a few outdoor tables. I figured the food would be good as there was a birthday party going on for someone at a table. My girlfriend ordered two eggs with bacon and hash browns. The bacon was very crispy and the hash browns were some of the best I've ever had! I ordered biscuits with gravy (not on the menu), two eggs, and a steak. Gravy was well seasoned and the biscuits moist. The steak was cooked to my liking (rare). Coming from New York, the price point for all of the food was amazing for the portions we received. I definitely recommend this place to those who have a lazy weekend to spend some time here! read more

I was so happy to find that this little restaurant was in walking distance to my home. If you ever wake up wanting greasy diner breakfast food than this is the place to be. It's a small tight space, you can eat at the counter or when it's nice out they have two tables outside. That's it. No space what so ever and yet somehow people will just keep coming in. I love the all american breakfast. Greasy, fatty, artery clogging goodness. I haven't had anything bad here and the fact that it's family owned makes this place really charming. read more

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. You can sit at the counter and watch everything being made or sit facing the windows watching traffic go by. Food is always hot and delicious.

Awesome breakfast - perfectly cooked bacon and hash browns, fluffy eggs and friendly service. We didn't get the pancakes but they looked amazing and were huge! Space is tight but they can fit 8 or so people at the bar with plenty of space between groups. Really enjoyed talking to the owner and watching him cook. Recommend for dining in or takeout. Portions are huge and everything is made to order. read more

I absolutely love this place. It's delicious, gluttonous and fun. The owner and cook is such a friendly dude, it's tight in there but it's a Minneapolis staple of a place, and I hope it stays around forever. From their incredible breakfasts at great prices, to their deeeeelicious burgers (always get grilled onions, they're free) I'm always satisfied. Stay awesome you guys! read more

The food was good, the restaurant was clean, but the service was poor. With two other people in the restaurant, the server ignored my buddy and me for twenty-five minutes before I had to find her in back to place our order. It was uncomfortable, which seemed intentional and passive aggressive. read more

We went for breakfast at around 7:45 on a Thursday. The place is really small. I think it seats about 15 or 16 inside. There's counter stools and two sets of chairs that face out to the front of the restaurant. The menu is pretty simple - regular diner breakfast offerings. They have some specials posted, too. I had a short stack with bacon and my husband had a breakfast sandwich and hash browns. The food is really good and THE SERVINGS ARE LARGE. I could easily have had one pancake. The waitress and cook were also very nice. I would definitely go back! read more

I like the place, I like the people, I like the recent upgrades, and I like the food. It can be a bit cold in the winter since the front door is no more than 6 feet from every seat, but my only complaint is that they use such cheap cheese. I always wonder, how much more could a cheeseburger or omelet cost to make when switching from Velveeta/Kraft to just a standard reasonably priced cheddar? After great spiritual exploration, I believe this could be my purpose. I particularly like the omelets with sausage, or the pancakes, hamburgers are too standard for me, but breakfast items are A OK. But who does the "Our" refer to, and when do I get MY share of the profits? read more

Our Kitchen - The Kitchen Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A simple checklist to help you decide if a restaurant stands out from the rest: Are they open limited hours? Do they have a limited menu? Do they have limited seating? In my mind these are three very important questions to ask yourself as you scan your local eatery. If you can answer "yes" to all any or all three you may also infer that they care only about making damn fine food. "Our Kitchen" has all three of these things, and in my opinion, that makes it a necessary destination for anyone in the mood for some fabulous breakfast. read more

Our Kitchen - Kitchen special over easy with white toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Because Minneapolis doesn't have Waffle House, I had to find a place for hash brown. When I arrived around noon, and there were people waiting outside. Until then, I didn't know how small this diner is. I went in, and there were only two rows: one facing the entrance side, the other facing the kitchen. And the occupancy of about 20 people. Because the weather was too cold to serve food to outside tables, I had to wait until I had seats available inside. I waited about 20 minutes then I was seated whichever was available, which faced the kitchen. The lady who was serving food and refilling coffee had a warm smile and whenever I was about to empty my coffee, she knew I needed more caffeine and came right to my mug. Because you are seating on a row, you get to chat with the people on your sides. I befriended a guy who also came alone to eat, and also had a chance to show a middle-aged woman who had trouble adjusting the brightness of her iPhone. When my food came out, I was surprised how big my portion was! The hash brown tasted like a legit potato, instead of just a mere crunch starch, and the sausage I got was more than typical breakfast links I could usually find. The food was too filling for me that I couldn't finish the scrambled eggs. For people Who wants to come to this restaurant for brunch/lunch, I would recommend avoiding the peak lunch time, considering the size of the diner. read more

Amazing Service, Great Food, Friendly, and An Overall Great 1st Time Expirience. Will Be Back!

After a night of hardcore drinking, my fellow drunkards and I were in dire need of some nourishment. After unsuccessfully trying to find a suitable establishment for our very hungry, and very grumpy selves in St. Paul, we put our breakfast fate in the hands of the Yelp Gods. Upon arriving we were greeted by an aroma that we can only describe as heavenly. The hashbrowns were without a doubt, the best we have ever consumed. The made from scratch pancakes, not gonna lie, better than 70% of the sex we've had. And the staff was the best. The next time we are up from Iowa for more Tomfoolery and Shenanigans, we will definitely be returning! read more

She had the Denver sandwich, I had the eggs Benedict plate, really, really good food. read more

Our Kitchen - Tiny but good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

There is very little seating in this place, so be prepared to wait if it's busy. Luckily for us, it wasn't packed when we got there, so we sat at the counter and ordered our mountain o'breakfasty goodness; hasbrowns, eggs, toast, and sausage. Food was delicious, the service was nice and relaxed (I think the waitress and the cook were related). Go here if you want a pile of greasy breakfast food on the cheap, and if you don't mind it when the cook doesn't wear gloves. It's a good breakfast dive. read more

Our Kitchen - Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns....sooo delicious!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is a fantastic little eatery in South Minneapolis. As Our Kitchen's signage notes, they are using the original single cook grill which affects how quickly they can get the food out. On a related note and as others have noted. It's a relatively small space. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. BUT! If you're willing to enjoy the classic ambience and some of the best breakfast food in the Twin Cities, c'mon over. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the hash browns are fantastic! They might not be your typical finely shredded hash browns. These potatoes are very substantial and the crust is browned to perfection creating the perfect crispy bite. Also, the staff are amazing. Super friendly, aware of the tight space and long waits, and they do everything they can to move things along and keep everyone happy. read more

Our Kitchen is a rare find, in Minneapolis or most any other big city: an old fashioned diner that appears to have never changed from the mid-20th century. (The prices are modern, but still reasonable.) If you are looking for an honest-to-God steak and egg breakfast with no gimmicks at a little lunch counter, this is one of the last places in urban America to find it. GOOD: Friendly and fun, with no surprises and no disappointments. The very basic menu has everything you would traditionally associate with breakfast or lunch counter service. BUT: This is a very, very small space, and it gets crowded at the times of days restaurants are busy. Don't bring a group here, and don't expect a counter seat if you show up in the middle of the hectic lunch hour. PRO TIP: Go early for breakfast. Plenty of space, and you'll rub shoulders with an interesting cross-section of people. read more
