    We waited 1 1/2 hours to get our food. Ridiculous. My husband ordered the fish special and after waiting that long for our food, we were told they ran out. Gave him a burger instead. Would not go back there.

    My husband and I went for our Saturday date night and we were pleasantly surprised. The waitress was amazing…I think her name was Iman. She was very attentive, personable and knowledgeable about the menu which was nice. We both ordered the Smashed burgers and when I say they were delicious, WOWEE!! Best burgers we’ve had in a long time! Juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked! If you want a good burger, this is the place to go! The atmosphere was pleasant….a bit too crowded for me but well worth it. We will absolutely go again! I would’ve posted a pic but we gobbled them down lol. Overall a great place and would recommend to friends.

    My new favorite local restaurant! The Kennedy has great food, servers and are incredibly responsive. They have a great range of food (something for everyone) on their dinner menu from Appetizers to Mains, Salads, Sandwiches, bowls and desserts> We celebrated our anniversary and loved everything. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I ate here for our anniversary. She had the Salmon and I had the Chicken Parm. We also had the Lamb Meatballs for an app and the Burnt Chocolate Spoon Bread for dessert. Everything was great!! Our server Amanda was helpful and courteous. We will be coming back here in the future!

    The food was delicious. Our server spent a lot of time with us going over the menu and making suggestions. My husband has food allergies and she was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and made recommendations for substitutes.
