Kitchen 1883 will serve a “fresh take on new American comfort food,” along with hand-crafted cocktails and a community-centered atmosphere. The restaurant will operate daily, offering lunch and dinner along with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. It is set to open in the fall.

“With Kitchen 1883, our vision is to create a gathering place that offers a casual atmosphere for guests to relax and experience food,” said Daniel Hammer, Kroger’s VP of culinary development and new business. “Since opening our pilot restaurant five months ago, we’ve discovered new ideas that will help to shape our future dining concepts and in-store fresh food experiences.”
