It was our anniversary, I noted that at reservation, they didn’t acknowledge. We got stuck in the worst seat in the building. Service was not good, server never came around, rushed us out and food was not worth the price. Wouldn’t go back. Don’t waste your money. Super poor experience.

Everything was great as this was our first visit to the restaurant as we are transplants from Philadelphia. The only negative was the coffee we ordered with our desserts, it was lukewarm and bitter. Michele Pawlowski

Kevin’s Bar and Restaurant, located on Wyoming avenue in Kingston, Pennsylvania, is a fine dining restaurant and part of the Friedman Hospitality Group, known for providing exquisite dining experienced. Mark, our server, was the epitome of professionalism. He was very personable and amiable, engaging us in conversation every time he came by (he even engaged in a birthday celebration at a nearby table, singing “Happy Birthday” with the group!). He knew the menu very well, and not only did he assist us when choosing our selections, but also told us how to have the dish prepared. For starters, we chose the Pumpkin Butternut Squash Bisque and the All the Onion Soup. The bisque was lightly topped with fried sage and toasted pumpkin seeds. It was very smooth, rich and creamy, and tasted almost like pumpkin pie. The soup consisted of red, Cippollini, yellow and pearl onions as well as leeks and shallots. It also included brioche croutons, Cooper sharp and smoked gouda cheese. Both offerings were extremely delicious. Next came the bone-in pork chop, with apple hot honey glaze, bacon, a potato puree and carrots. The meat was prepared medium-well, and was very tender and juicy. The lady said it was perhaps the best pork chop she ever ate. I chose the steak frites, a dry rubbed Coulette steak, with dollops of tangy steak sauce, french fries, and perfectly prepared asparagus. The steak was prepared medium-rare (as suggested by Mark) and was very savory. Even the french fries were exemplary, golden and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Kevin’s fired on all cylinders with this meal, and was perhaps the best meal I had all year. As a member of the Friedman Hospitality Group, this place did not disappoint. Everything was practically flawless.

Amazing food!! Environment was a little louder than I expected but still perfect for the building. Mark was our server and was hands down by far the best waiter we have had in any restaurant in NEPA.. The food was out of this world as we have been to a few of the Friedman Restaurants and are continued amazement at the quality of the food and service continues to grow!!

I wanted to take my mother in law out to a nice restaurant for dinner, and Kevin’s did not disappoint! Our reservation was for 6:30 but they were ready for us when we walked in the door ten minutes early. Our server was sweet and very attentive to making sure we had a good night. The drinks were fantastic and the food was even better! I will be dinning at Kevin’s frequently from now on!
