Golden Valley’s dining scene continues to flourish, offering residents and visitors a delightful mix of new establishments and time-honored favorites.
Kitchen and Rail: A New Culinary Destination
In February 2026, Kitchen and Rail expanded its presence by opening a second location in Golden Valley. Situated in the former Mort’s Deli space at the Golden Valley Shopping Center, this locally owned restaurant brings its acclaimed menu to the west metro area. Patrons can savor signature dishes like the Famous Filet Mignon Sandwich and Nana’s Meatballs, complemented by a full cocktail program and the restaurant’s proprietary wine label, Victorio’s. Additionally, the Golden Valley location introduces weekday lunch service and offers a private event space for reservations. In homage to the building’s history, Kitchen and Rail features “The MORT” sandwich—a New York-style pastrami on caraway rye with stone-ground mustard.
