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!

Went here 2x in one week it was soo good! I had a hankering for some really good pancakes and Our Kitchen did not disappoint. Popped in on a Tuesday morning with a friend and had some chocolate chip pancakes and split a side of loaded hash browns. The portions were huge and the food was delicious!! Will definitely be coming back.

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.

I have not been to Our Kitchen in awhile and I was not disappointed. Hard to find a restaurant that continues to consistently produce great food in a tight space. Granted I had eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast, but to take simple ingredients and take them to their best flavor is impressive. Hash browns best in Minneapolis. Cheers to the chef.

Love this place. Go to order is the skillet with the side blueberry pancake. It's so good. Blueberry pancake is an absolute must have. Just a heads up that they do only have one cook/stove top so they're limited on how fast they can prep food.

Awesome atmosphere. Very popular breakfast and brunch spot! Service was as quick as it could be and the staff were friendly.

First off I randomly saw Timberwolves player Jaden McDaniels here!! (I'd post the pic, but he asked me not to so to respect his wishes I cannot) This place is amazing!! Very classic diner vibes, but everything here is scratch made even the sausage patties. They only have one grill so if you have any allergies like celiac this isnt the place I'd recommend. They do make as good of an attempt as they can, but it's just a size problem they dont have enough space to be 100% safe. Everything is amazing here, thick pancakes, hearty bacon, good sausage. And I love the service and staff! There's a picture of the main line cook when he was like 15 !! And it's been running since 1942 which is crazy. The best breakfast spot around here absolutely. I always get the breakfast special and i always leave with another meal or two of leftovers and if you do it that way it's cheaper than even franchise restaurants and much, MUCH better quality. You sit down in our kitchen and it really just feels like your kitchen in the best way. Classic, delicious and serene is how I'd describe this place. Don't disrespect it by coming in a rush, they have limited seating and staff, but trust me they're doing everything they can to get the food out to ya as soon as they can. Generally not sure if I've ever seen their staff stop moving for long periods of time lol.

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.

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!
