“ Got the combo meal with pork and sausage It was great !! Them baked beans will make you sweat but they are great!! ”
“ Ken's has relocated to their bigger building off of Pinson Hwy. I like the new building! It's more accommodating and comfortable for dining in purposes. It's been a little while since I was last here and decided to stop by on Labor Day for some ribs. The rib plate comes with 5 bones and two sides. I love their coleslaw but I hate how the coleslaw juice goes everywhere. It really doesn't make for good photos but it's always good. The baked beans have a spicy taste to them. I enjoy that little kick on the backend. They are now serving peach cobbler. It was ok but it didn't have a crispy crust which I prefer. Nice flavor but lacking. Ken's is solid. Good food & service consistently across the board. ”
