Don’t want to speak too soon BUT… this could be our new favorite restaurant.
After waking up craving some home cooking, my fiancée and I headed to Our Place Restaurant for the first time 🥞
Was pretty easy to get to from Arlington: just a straight shot down Cooper, quick right on Debbie, then a (protected) u-turn at the light by the Dr. Jim Vaszauskas Center for The Performing Arts. Lucked out with a spot up front, but there’s plenty of free parking in the lot 🚗
Hostess said it’d be a 40 min wait, which almost deterred us, but it was really only ~15. To kill what we thought could he an hour, we hung out back by the game area. Cool spot that has (i) a putting green, (ii) corn hole set, and (iii) a large Connect 4 game. Was kinda disappointed we got the “your table is now ready text” so soon, bc we were having a good time ⛳️
Inside, Mia — our certified food sherpa — gave us a full tutorial on the menu since we were newbies. She’s had almost everything on the menu. So, was a great guide and very nice.
My fiancée started off with the Soup of the Day, which was vegetable. It comes with cornbread and some rolls, and she loved it. Mia told us that people love it so much, they actually serve it twice — on Thursdays and Saturdays 🤌🏻
For the meal, my fiancée got the Chicken Salad + a single stack buttermilk pancake, and I got the Eggs Benedict. Everything was perfect. Food was hot, came out fast, and only one of us was able to finish 😩
Atmosphere was exactly what we needed to. Good ol’ southern hospitality and comfort food. Whole restaurant even clapped for two birthdays. And, other servers and staff told us to have a great day as we waddled to the exit to head back home 🐧
Overall, giving it 5 Big Booms 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻! We’ll be coming back soon and might have to bring a few more hungry bellies with us.
