Steakhouse
With Age comes great things..Ken's steak house has been serving Metro-West since 1935. Ken and Florence Hanna had a sound formula for success: Good quality food at reasonable prices, an honest drink and a good cup of coffee. Guests always receive prompt, courteous, attentive service. The prime and choice cuts of beef and the fresh seafood found at Ken's has set a standard of quality that is unparalleled.

    Classic food, as always loved the salad! Not great service, our server was not very friendly, never refilled our water glasses, pointed to the section of the menu for us to look at side orders, rather than telling us what they were when we asked. Seems like she was ready for her shift to end and wanted to rush us along. We love Ken's, didn't love this experience.

    We have frequented Kens many times over the past decades. While we have no problem with the ambiance, it hasn't changed much since we first visited. What has changed are the prices, we understand inflation has taken its toll. BUT here at Kens the current prices far outweigh the value. We will think twice before dining there in the future. Too bad as it was once our go to place for a good steak dinner at reasonable prices.

    The house salad had an onion waved over it w/ 2 tomato slices. No croutons. Worst excuse for a salad ever served to me.(I cooked professionally for 30 yrs) Calamari was thick, too heavily breaded and overcooked. I suspect a frozen product. Baked potato- off tasting, very odd. Did not eat it. prime rib- the meat was good, the au jus was heavy with "au jus prep" taste, and it tasted old, like it's been reheated, and gets used to dip "prime rib sandwiches". The building and menu are dated, the food very pedestrian. I will not be back.

    Been going to Ken’s for 50 years. Family was in town and we went to our old stomping ground. Our server, Jess, was phenomenal. The food was fantastic. The steaks were perfection on a plate. The house salad was delicious as it’s always been. The price however has grown exponentially. The quality of the meal helped ease the blow when we saw the bill. Almost $300 for 4 people was a bit excessive.

    Went for our anniversary, as we have several times previously. Several flaws in our experience. Ordered a strawberry daiquiri. They didn't have any strawberries, so used "strawberry puree". It was sort of orange. Tasted awful. Sent it back and subbed in fuzzy navel, which was super strong. The Caesar salad was overdressed. The steak was very good, which was the point of going there, but incredibly the steak knives were dull. I mean, these were expertly prepared steaks, and should have cut easily. But the dull knives made that a hassle. And apparently they've stopped carrying cheesecake for dessert. That's fairly minor, I know, but cheesecake is a classic. It was OK, but slightly disappointing.

    We really love Kens. Have been going there for years and some people might think it is old fashioned, but we love it. The food is always good and the menu varied. It is also not as expensive as one might think. A lot of other restaurants are much more pricey. We like the atmosphere. Our server is a very nice, pleasant young woman. I have had her before and she is great. Look forward to our next visit.

    This restaurant has been around for such a long time and had wanted to try it for a while, so I thought it was a good place to meet our friends for lunch. I figured at Ken’s Steakhouse you should order the steak so I chose the steak tips and a side garden salad. I could not believe the salad that I was served! It was a bowl full of iceberg lettuce and half of tomato cut in two (I had asked for no onions). That was it! For a place that’s known for their salad dressings you would expect that a garden salad would have more than that. When my lunch arrived the rice pilaf was dried out and my steak tips while tender the marinade that was used was unbelievably salty. My lunch companions seemed to enjoy their food (porterhouse burgers and baked scrod) so it wasn’t all bad. I can say that we will never go back.
