Description

Our Kitchen is a small breakfast spot with a quaint exterior, but the service can be slow due to a lack of staff. The pancakes were disappointing, and the atmosphere was noisy with people talking on their phones. One reviewer had a negative experience with the owner, who was aggressive. On the other hand, some patrons absolutely loved the food, service, and atmosphere, praising the large portions, cooked-to-order meals, and friendly staff. The diner has been around for 80 years and is considered a staple by many locals. Despite the small size and limited seating, customers found the food to be delicious and worth the wait. Overall, opinions were divided, with some recommending the restaurant while others advised skipping it in favor of other breakfast spots nearby.

The pancakes and eggs were great. Some of the best pancakes I've had in a while. So filling I had 2 eggs and a pancake. Server was really friendly. This is not a place if you come with maybe more than 4 or 6 people. They have some seating outside. It's mainly a small diner with front seating and some seating indoors and some patio seating. I don't remember how much the patio seating holds. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

You'll find a fantastic breakfast at Our Kitchen in South Minneapolis. A family-owned and award-winning hole-in-the-wall diner since 1941. The portions are large to fuel your morning and prices are competitive. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. I had an omelet with hash browns and one of co-owner/chef Danny's giant pancakes. The best part of my visit was being able to sit at the counter and watch Danny cook. It's a hole in the wall so expect a short wait. You're going to have a very good meal. I sure did.

Other than not literally being a hole in the wall, this is a hole in the wall. Super tiny space with only counters inside and a few tables outside. Menu is spare but follows the belief that brown good tastes good. We went for breakfast and had the basic breakfast platter and the Eggs Benedict. Very healthy servings and everything was delicious. There was a single server and she was fast and focused while still friendly. Great overall experience. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I'm really quite obsessed with Our Kitchen. The food, the atmosphere, the building itself, and the small team—everything is absolutely perfect and precisely what I seek in a diner. Just a heads-up: don’t expect a quick meal since there’s only one person cooking and just one stovetop. But that’s part of its charm. This is a place to enjoy a few refills of coffee while you wait, read the newspaper, and chat with the person sitting next to you. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding, but the hash browns are truly something special—be sure to order them with American cheese and thank me later! Other highlights include the breakfast sandwich on an English muffin (McWho?) and surprisingly, the tuna salad sandwich.
