There are any number of possibilities. Do all the other outlets in the
kitchen work now? How old is the house or at least the kitchen wiring? Do
any of the kitchen outlets have GFCI protection? It could be a tripped GFCI
or it's possible that you have an open neutral. If it's an open neutral,
you'll likely find the loose connection in an adjacent "working" outlet

We have an outlet that we think we blew this afternoon plugging a
drill into it the power turned off. When we tried to reset the
breaker box everything turned back on but that outlet. We changed the
outlet. It registers that it has power, but it won't run anything.
It is like it does not have enough juice to run something. What
causes the power to decrease in an outlet to where it is there, but
now running?
