The restaurant literally has a max occupancy of about 20 people. I counted 15 while we were there, taking up nearly every nook and cranny at the counter and two window-facing counters.
The main counter faces the grill, so you get to watch your food come together. There are three staff - a cook and two servers. They're friendly and make you feel right at home.
I ordered the "Kitchen Special" - two eggs, hash browns, sausage, wheat toast and orange juice (in place of coffee). My meal was fantastic, and I ate nearly every bite.
The hash browns were thick bites of potato with a nice, slightly crunchy top layer. The sausage was well-seasoned, and the eggs were perfectly prepared - runny enough to dunk the toast but firm enough to still eat with a fork.
In short, Our Kitchen reminded me of a non-alcoholic, smaller version of Cheers. Filled mostly with regulars, the staff greeted many people by name...and this newbie with a smile and great service.
I spent the rest of yesterday afternoon with my friend baking. I'm pleased to report that my pumpkin bars were amazing, courtesy of this Paula Deen recipe.
