kitchen no. 324

i can say i've been... the layout was weird. we stood in line to get a number to stand around towaitfor our number to be called. we went to the coffee bar to order coffee and stood around waiting for that. chai latte was ok. waited almost 30 minutes to be told we could go stand in line to order our food then we would be seated. food was good, but not worth the hassle of standing in numerous lines. the supervisor assured us this was the last day of the confusing process. it could be worth another try it's they're changing the process, but with the parking downtown andwaittime i'll pass.

i had high hopes for this restaurant. the atmosphere is amazing, but beyond that this restaurant doesn't have much to offer. we waited 30 minutes for a table while half of the tables in the restaurant were open. when we were finally seated, we were taken outside. as we were walking outside, i stated that we would like a table inside and the lady told us we would have towaitanother 20 minutes. we finally agreed to sit outside and were taken to a dirty table. we said it was unacceptable and she finally found us a table inside. it didn't take long for our waitress to greet us, but she informed us if we wanted anything with expresso it would be a 15-20 minutewaitsince there was just one barista. my husband opted for the regular coffee which took 15 minutes anyway. the menu was limited and the food was average at best. overall, we were very disappointed and will probably not return.

amazing food, outstanding service, lovely atmosphere! it really doesn't get much better than this. over the top experience. thewaitof 45 min (10:30-11:15) on a saturday morning was expected and totally worth it. kid friendly too. although this would be an excellent adult night out place.
hubby had the fried chicken pot pie. wow! loved it and he's a picky eater. i had the eggs benedict special with canadian bacon. delicious. our kids had a cinnamon roll and a blueberry orange scone all made fresh daily, and a fresh fruit bowl. they absolutely loved it. we definitely will be back.

downtown treat. kitchen no. 324 is trendy, open, and shiny. the place was packed at 10:30 on sat. morning and thewaitwas approx. 45 min. there is a barista on duty for drinks or pastries (think starbucks) and access to an outdoor plaza where one can wait. we had coffee, mocha, and an apple fritter on the plaza before we were seated and chose to eat outside as well at the tables located there (one should take the oklahoma wind into account). the entrees chosen were navy bean soup, yukon potato salad, aromatic chicken salad, and roasted carrots w/ local honey for our sixteen-month-old. all of these were delicious. the carrots were cooked crispy, and our daughter could not manage them; however, at our request, the chef cooked a new order that was perfectly done for a small child with a few teeth. our server was efficient, pleasant, and professional. in short, we will most definitely return to this gem in okc's reawakening downtown.

if i could give this place an appropriate rating, it would be an abysmal -200 because you ruined my day. you've also etched a negative memory about dining in okc, and you've created a skepticism about all other future dining experiences. if you are black person in the oklahoma city area, please do not go to this restaurant. they obviously do not want your money. it was a nice sunday afternoon, and i wanted to spend time with my siblings. we drove from norman to okc specifically for this restaurant. when we got there, the hostess was standoffish, and didn't really greet us. she directed us to a table and ambiguously told us to sit, and i had to ask where specifically. she never mentioned that a waiter or waitress would be attending to us soon. she left and she never came back. no one offered us water or anything for about 15 minutes. we kept looking at our watches, and looking at thewaitstaff in front of the restaurant, and it looked like they were actively ignoring us. thewaitstaff were obviously lingering too. we felt invisible, and worthless. we eventually got and left because i don't want any negative racist energy around my food. funny thing, they attended to the next party that came after us promptly. obviously, i will never step foot there again because i'm not wanted there. the rude part was that the hostess acted like she was oblivious to what was going on even though she kept looking and moving around the restaurant.

loved kitchen 324! we had towaitabout 40 minutes but it was worth it! everything we tried was delicious. the location, decor, and atmosphere are all excellent. it's modern, upscale, and friendly. our service was great and we can'twaitto return! i had the bacon and monterey jack strata and it was amazing! we also enjoyed a latte with hazelnut liqueur (an excellent recommendation from the server), a few pastries, and some mimosas. i love that they strive for fresh and organic ingredients. the prices are good and we will definitely be back!

do not show up hungry without a reservation. the 30 minutewaitreally is more like 1 hour and 15 minutes. try that with a hungry wife, a 3 and a 5 year old! food is good.

service was very good! food and drinks both were delicious !! i will definitely be back. we ate brunch on a sunday it was busy but worth thewait!

brunch is good. thewaitcan be long because it is very busy on weekends so come early! it can be hard to find, but the place is nice and clean.

this place is always packed when i come, but regardless, the hostess ensures that we still receive the best quality of experiences. we had towaitabout fifteen minutes (since we did not make a reservation), but the food made up for it. 

the kitchen green eggs and ham with (added) avocado and bacon is a match made in heaven. the chicken pot pie is also a highly recommended item that i would personally recommend to anyone. i had a great time dining here for early brunch before my continued date in oklahoma city.

service is worse than the coffee. arrived at 1020am, 30minwaitdespite >30% tables open! coffee super bitter. open face sandwich delicious but chorizo biscuit and gravy disappointing- very little flavor, gravy only on one side of biscuit, chorizo bland.

seasoning anyone?. the ingredients are fresh and thewaitstaff was good. the chef has to learn how to use more technique. lack of seasoning, toast under done, potatoes not cooked long enough, etc. i thought the pastry may save the day but it had the same issue. lack of flavor. too bad because it has potential.

underwhelmed. we ate at k324 on sunday...35 minutewaitto be seated was expected. the restaurant was clean and busy, full of hip and well to do people.

our server acted as though we were stupid to eat there on sunday. he reminded us how busy they were. the brunch menu menu looked great, except there is only 1 vegetarian option. we both ordered it (fried green tomato). we also ordered a kids mac and cheese and a danish and two cups of coffee (special ethiopian brew).

the kids mac and cheese came out luke warm. i am a bit crazy about food safety. i don't think it was kept at proper temp.

then the coffee came out with no cream. we asked for cream and our server acted like it was a huge challenge. he said "i guess i can get that". 5 mins later our cream was brought out by someone else. after about 5 mins, our server said that there were out of danishes and offered us a cronut. we accepted and then he told us we were lucky because there were only going to charge us 2.5 not 4.5!

then we waited and waited...about 30 mins later, they brought out two plates that were not what we ordered. we told them what we ordered...about 30 min later we got what we ordered. no apology.

the food was just ok. again, it was not hot. the potatoes were greasy and not crispy. nothing to write home about. coffee was exceptional.

i think the restaurant has some management issues. no one ever checked on us or acknowledged these issues. there was no immediacy in correcting the wrong order. overall, i thought no one really cares about our experience.

there is so many great restaurants out there in okc, i had hoped this would be one of them. a great atmosphere is not enough to keep your customers coming back.

great, fresh food - but don't be surprised by the brunch crowd.. i had sunday brunch here a few weeks after the opening - and while thewaitwas considerable (35-40 minutes for 2 hangry people), the food was worth it.

while my boyfriend opted for the pretty straightforward eggs benedict, i tried the farmer's market plate - you choose from the sides to create your own super-meal. i got the scarlet quinoa, little mixed greens salad, roasted carrots, and a poached egg - all extremely fresh and tasty.

the coffee was decent, though not as phenomenal as they'd like you to believe. but i almost shouted when i found out that they press their own fruit and veggie juices. aside from the late matthew kenney (r.i.p, mk!) and whole foods, okc is pretty lacking in the juice department. no longer!

i'll be stopping back by the cafe for the juice, and i'll try dining in when it's not as busy. overall, very impressed.

great food !! great vibe!!. finally got back to 324! last time we tried to get in...it was packed...we were rushed for time...so we left but made sure to come back soon. something to be said for a restaurant that is always busy...great sign! enjoyed lunch here the other day and it was great. we were seated immediately and the service was top notch as well was the food. i had the blt and it was deeelisshh. my lovely girl had the grilled cheese and it was wonderful as well. sides were tasty and the tea was refreshing. cantwaitto go back and try the fried chicken pot pie. 2 thumbs up!! highly recommend and we will be back
