The staff are courteous professional and entertaining. The food is delicious! And the patrons(except for college kids) are pretty good too. The new management don't hesitate to jump in & help out their servers or bartenders. And they do it with a smile! I love Kenny's... And will continue to be a regular..." — Tina W., reviewer
