    The young boys walking around constantly bugging you about taking plates before you are done. So annoying. Then they put there hands on your dish while before you agree to let them take it. The waitress stated they are to water also. I had to wait forever for the water. Before leaving these young employees almost caused a disaster while my 75 year old mom was packing her food by reaching over here to clear table. WAIT TIL DONE!!!

    We had. Super early reservation; felt bad the poor waitress was alone working the handful of Tables on her own for at least the first 30 mins we were there. Maybe it wasn’t that long but it felt like it. Food was good. No one went home hungry that’s for sure. I didn’t have the soup but after seeing it I was bummed because it smelled delicious and was filled with veggies and chicken.

    This is the first time we dined at Ken’s on a Saturday evening. We had an out of town guest. We had reservations for six. Which turned out that only 4 of us were able to dine together that evening. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant with the table so close to the wall that if six of us were there it was no way two people would have been able to sit next to the back wall. My seat was next to a small garbage can. After a bit I asked if there were another table we could sit at. They were kind enough to send a wonderful young man over to break our table down to one for four people. With the table broken down I wasn’t right next to the garbage can and our friend’s head wasn’t close to the wall jukebox. The food was good as always.
