Kenny's Oak Grill

In 1965 a young couple, Kenny and Joanne Knutson, from Austin, Minnesota purchased what was then " The Oak Grill". It was at this time that the legacy this "Kenny's Oak Grill" or "Kenny's" as most regulars know it as, began. The original building that Kenny's Oak Grill called home was across the street from where the current building now resides. Kenny was forced to move the institution across the street when Austin High School expanded in 1993. Although at the time Kenny, and his loyal employees and customers, were hesitant about the move it has sure worked out well. Even with the added space you will find a full house every Saturday and Sunday morning as people enjoy some of the best, made from scratch, hash browns and other infamous breakfast items. In it's original form, and still today, Kenny's Oak Grill is an Austin institution and has played a large part in so many people's lives during the past 50 years.
