Mount Holly, the county seat of Burlington County, has undergone a food scene renaissance over the past ten years, becoming a hotspot that continues to attract more food lovers with each passing year. With every year, Mount Holly’s culinary offerings seem to get more vibrant, diverse, and inventive, keeping the local crowd coming back—and drawing in new faces from beyond the county lines.
Kitchen 87: The Heart of Comfort Food in Mount Holly
A cornerstone of Mount Holly’s transformation is Kitchen 87, the beloved breakfast and lunch gem nestled at 87 Washington Street. Since opening its doors in 2014, Kitchen 87 has steadily built a reputation for serving up “good simple food”—an ethos that locals and newcomers alike have embraced.
According to the website, Kitchen 87 is “serving breakfast and lunch with scratch made items, daily specials, and feel-good food. It’s a perfect place to grab a quick bite, something to go, or to hang out and socialize for a while.”
It’s like the Cheers of the South Jersey brunch scene!
Kitchen 87, run by the dynamic duo Melo and Michael Smith from nearby Hainesport, has grown into more than just a breakfast and lunch spot—it’s a community anchor. The restaurant’s slogan, “A Place Where Strangers Become Friends and Friends Become Family,” isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a genuine way of life for the Smiths. They bring this motto to life each day, welcoming patrons with warmth and sincerity that’s kept regulars loyal and first-time visitors feeling like they’ve found a second home.
It’s this inviting atmosphere, paired with consistently comforting, quality food, that makes Kitchen 87 a go-to spot in Mount Holly’s growing food scene.
If you haven’t visited yet, be sure to do so. If you haven’t visited in a while, go ahead and wish them a Happy 10th Anniversary. If you’re regular, well… YOU KNOW!
