Kitchen Table Omaha – a downtown restaurant perfect for lunch or a casual dinner!
We absolutely love Kitchen Table, which has been one of our Omaha favorites since they opened in 2013. Owned by Colin and Jessica Duggan, Kitchen Table is a farm to table restaurant in the heart of downtown Omaha. A true labor of love, they opened Kitchen Table in 2013 after moving back to Omaha from San Francisco to work together and share their passion for good fresh local food.
And now, they have been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives! Well earned, we say!

Kitchen Table Uses Local Ingredients
Featuring fresh house made bread and produce from local farms and suppliers, food on the Kitchen Table menu is the kind of food you always hear about but rarely find, that comfort food made the right way, with love and passion that pours out of every bite. They are one of the places we never hesitate to go, out of the restaurants in downtown Omaha.
Honestly, we have never had a bad meal, and while we have our favorites, we almost always try to order something new every time we go. We have never been disappointed in their food offerings.
What Do We Order at Kitchen Table?
The Whole Bird is a favorite sandwich of mine. This sandwich is chicken breast, chicken leg confit salad, crispy chicken skin, fried egg and greens on toasted levain (sourdough) bread. It comes with a side of freshly popped popcorn, and is so flavorful. (featured on Diner’s, Drive-ins, and Dives, along with the meatloaf sandwich!)
The chicken was moist and flavorful, but the leg confit made the sandwich for me. It was juicy and tasty, matching the chicken breast in every way. The fried egg and chicken skin added much to the flavors. The greens and the toasted bread added great crunch.
What Other Omaha Restaurants Do We Suggest?
Other favorites are their salads, soups, any of their homemade breads, or their weekend brunches. Again, like we said, you can’t go wrong!
Kitchen Table Omaha
The restaurant is very casual, with brick and wood paneled walls, with a wall of greenery with the wood. Very inviting and cozy, with most of the tables lining up with a long wooden bench along one wall. You order at the counter, no table servers, but your food is brought out quickly (slow food fast!).
They offer a limited bar, wine and beer on tap and a number of specialty soft drinks, and a wide selection on non-alcoholic offerings. Service is very friendly and quick, greeting regulars and even chatting with newcomers. They have daily specials and an ever changing menu, which you can find at their website. Kitchen Table feels like one of those cool little small town restaurants, just lucky for us in Omaha, located right downtown!
To-Go Food Offerings
Colin and Jessica have family sized meals to go – frozen or freshly heated to eat. We have done quite a few of these over the last years, especially their lasagna, (it freezes perfectly and is great for pulling out when you need an easy meal) and their Aksarbens. They also have a shopette with items for weekend brunches or dinners, and all are easy and tasty ingredients.
Their Brioche English Muffins are also a MUST order for us, I don’t think a to-go order has passed us by in the last year without us ordering more. They are perfect for breakfast, and topped with honey or jam are a favorite around here!
Make sure to check out Kitchen Table restaurant Omaha for it’s tasty food and warm atmosphere! If you can’t make it for breakfast, brunch or lunch, you can always order to-go and they will make your meal at home just perfection!
