The food was delicious!! Eggs and potatoes were seasoned nicely. Service was friendly and personable. I really enjoyed the ambiance. It was warm, inviting and relaxing. Loved the art for sale on the walls. I will definitely return in the future.

PLEASE eat here! The food is so SO good! Staff is very friendly; it's always clean and looks great. Huge portions and everything comes out fast and perfect temp. Love it here! I stop by every time I'm in the area

Nice family owned clean restaurant. Some local beer on tap. Owner served our table. We had chicken sliders & hand cut fries & chicken alfredo that was a huge serving and also very good.

Real good spot. I was hesitant because of the no changes or substitutions (I'm not extremely picky but I like what I like). The mimosa is definitely worth the price and my Caesar wrap was really good!

I really liked open kitchen. The food was delicious, and had a very unique flavor. Vibe was nice, and service was very good. I got the breakfast chicken. It was pretty delicious!! The chicken was cooked very well, the eggs were yummy, and the gravy was good too. The flavors/ spices were really unique, which made this place even better. Combining above average food with unique flavors was super fun. I really liked the actual restaurant as well. It felt very industrial and nice. The interior was a bit smaller than I expected, but it made the place feel intimate. I went for lunch - I bet open kitchen's vibe is even better for dinner. Overall I'd go back here. Great experience.

We ate here before catching a Comedy Sportz show at the nearby Wit theater. And what a lucky find. The food was incredible and the team made us feel at home. Highly recomme

Stopped by here for the first time Saturday for lunch. Overall, we were happy. The fried chicken sandwich was good but I'll admit I found $1.50 upcharge to add sauce to it to be strange, since the sauce was just a light drizzle. Breakfast was tasty and service was pleasant and helpful. The interior areas (bar top, some storage) could use tidying up to make the ambiance better.

Do not sleep on this gem of a restaurant! Went there for brunch this morning with no preconceived notions, and was completely blown out of the water. In our brunch party of four, everyone loved their meal. I selected the cinnamon toast crunch French toast with the bourbon caramel syrup, and I can say with no hesitation that it is literally the best French toast I've ever had in my life. The location is in a bit of a rough area, but it's worth it. Parking lot is private, but be careful going over the train tracks just a few hundred feet away. On a Sunday morning, you may want to make reservations if you have a larger party to ensure you get a table. Eboni was our server and she was wonderful. Another really cool draw of this restaurant is that the walls are hung with prints by local artists, and the paintings are available for purchase if you see one you like!

My husband and I tried out Open Kitchen last weekend for the first time! The staff were all very nice. We had multiple people tell us thank you for coming in. I had a beer, which I thought they had a good wide selection of those and cocktails. For dinner, I had the 10 Street Chicken Sandwich and fries. They had the option to have different seasonings on the fries, but I stuck with the original. I thought the normal fries had a great flavor! The chicken sandwich was just good. I have no real complaints about it, but it seemed like it could use something else to blow me away. All in all, I thought the food was good and will return to try more of the menu! I will also add, that the building is block, so it gets kinda cold in there!

Solid restaurant. We were greeted right when we walked in the door, and seated quickly. She made sure it was okay if we sat in a high top- I appreciate her thinking of others and their specific abilities. The place was well maintained on the inside. It was a little cold for my liking, but my wife wasn't complaining so it was probably just me (but maybe wear a long sleeve if you are going in the winter like we did). I ordered the Blue Firework cocktail, and the smothered chicken with Brocolli and whipped potatoes for my meal. The cocktail was great- the champagne in it wasn't too overpowering and had great balance of taste...and I appreciated the sugar rim on it. The smothered chicken was good. The Brocolli was cooked thoroughly, and I could tell was finished on the grill to give it a nice char. The potatoes had great taste and were smooth. The smothered chicken was good, but not amazing. My two complaints about it: the breading on it was a little soggy for my liking (not super crispy and seemed to fall off the chicken) and there was a certain flavor about it that really overwhelmed everything out (I couldn't put my finger on what that flavor was). Overall, we were satisfied with coming here. Food was good, drinks were great, service was wonderful, and the place felt clean.
