WHEN KITCHEN SOCIAL opened its first lo-
cation in late 2019, the restaurant industry had no idea what was coming. Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, that Polaris restaurant thrived. Kitchen Social defied the odds and opened a second location in November 2021.
That Bridge Park location quickly became a regional favorite and secured a solid victory as Best of the ’Bus Best New Restaurant. “It’s about providing something more than just great food and service, but something where people genuinely make a connection with what we do,” says co-owner Brian O’Malley. “I think that’s why we’ve been so fortunate so far.”
