    I had a fantastic experience here at Kenwood's. I walked in, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Ashley, my server, was incredibly friendly and made sure everything was perfect. After my friends left, I moved over to the bar and had a great time chatting with Felix, one of the bartenders. You can tell the GM knows what they are doing. The food and drinks were delicious, especially the Country Fried Chicken Plate and the Brussels Sprouts, and the service made it even better. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

    I really enjoy coming to Kenwood's. It's a super lovely place and a great spot to watch sports. The food is incredible. I have yet to try something new and not like it. The staff is top notch and provides great service. 10/10 will keep coming back.

    Happy hour daily! Fun-&-open ambiance; great energy, teamwork, and service from the staff (we were fortunate to be served by Callum on our 1st visit; then, Fabian at the bar top the 2nd time); and attractively-presented, generous-in-size, and tasty dishes!

    We have been coming to Kenwoods for quite a while now and I had never gotten around writing a review. We discovered this place a couple years back and I was hooked after our initial visit. Let me start by saying that the service has always been really good and they really seem to care about their guests which is appreciated. The food is also very good (albeit a bit hit or miss on somedays) and I have never left dissatisfied. I have had the chopped wedge salad , the chicken wings, the morning glory burger, bbq chicken flatbread amongst other offerings and each was great in their own way. My wife and mom have also enjoyed their dishes here as well from the burgers to the garlic herb chicken, to the salmon and more. The place can get busy at times but we have always been lucky with our timing. They have a fairly large indoor seating area as well as a large outdoor patio. Parking is usually fairly easy to find but is shared with many other businesses and restaurants in the shopping center. They also have great happy hour specials on appetizers and drinks as well that will save you a few bucks, so be sure to take advantage. Overall this was a great find and a place I see us eating at many more times to come. Come in and give them a try for yourself

    I'm not a "sports bar" kind of person which was the vibe I got when I walked in. Fortunately I was wrong. Sports were playing in the screens but it was not loud. The service was fast. When I asked if they had blue cheese stuffed olives for a martini they said they did! Our server told us she personally picked the brand of olives. I got the fried chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce. It was HUGE and so delicious. I had a hard time finishing it but I wanted to. Good food. Great drinks. Friendly service. The parking lot was busy but who cares.

    4 kinds of sliders and can try one of each as your entree! The garlic herb wings were the best I've tried. A really cozy contemporary feel and wait staff were efficient and attentive. Went for the tater tots this time. can't wait for the steak fries next.

    I got the classic burger with steak fries and it was delish! In particular, the fries and the ranch were A+. Atmosphere was nice and the bartender was very friendly and available. I was surprised how reasonable the check was. Will def be back!
