★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Been ordering here for months now and plan to keep ordering. The food is so good, generously portioned and reasonably priced. I'm used to NYC bodegas and this place meets that level of quality!
August 20 · Cameron HetzlerHave been going for years . Today? Walked inside today to a brand new updated gorgeous interior .but? it's still Kens.Same quality, same service, reasonable prices. Hometown feeling😁
September 16 · John BNot from the area and asked where to go to lunch and was directed here by the guys at the hardware store. I must say well worth the trip and stopping in. Had the Ruben special. Service and food were awesome.
December 23 · Michael J. BarrosJust had a yummy grilled veggie sandwich on ciabatta roll. Will definitely order again.
August 29 · Sheila HunterI travel all over the state for my job and I always try to find a local spot for lunch. I had the grilled chicken ceasar Salad and it was nothing short of awesome. The woman who took care of me was great, she was friendly and polite and made sure I was happy with everything. The food was all super fresh and very flavorful, and I think the best part was when a local customer and his dog walked up to the door and waited patiently for someone to come out and give her a piece of bacon.
