Reviews of Kennedy's Restaurant & Market (Butcher Shop)

Anthony Crupi

Friendly Bar / Pub atmosphere, very consistently good food and service. A bit more expensive then some places, but I have never had a bad meal yet.

Ashley Ryan

Kennedy's is one of my favorite place to eat. Love the food and atmosphere. Its been a family favorite for decades.

Brett Louis

Truly an "INSTITUTION" that is now being run by the Family's Second Generation. GREAT SELECTION from "Corned Beef & Cabbage as well as Whole Belly Clam Rolls". You MUST go!

Larry Swanson

Always a special treat to eat here. Upscale and a little pricey, but well worth it. Food is excellent, service is superb and quick. A delight to visit.

Domenic Albanese

Always get the popover for an appetizer. Always get the chicken tips with rice and a light mushroom sauce. So delicious. Good size portions. Good comfort food place.

Robby Wills

This place is terrible...poor service, extreamly expensive, mold in the bathroom. I also saw the server eat one of my French fries on the way to the table.... For the love of god do NOT waste your time or money.

Steve Kludt

Feels like a nice local family place. Makes you feel welcome and relaxed. Reliable good food. Not gourmet but consistently good.

Chris Cox

Callie is the best worker here. She is the hostess with the mostest! Great service, phenomenal food, beautiful atmosphere. Love love love it!!

Hannah Taylor

Great atmosphere, amazing and reasonably priced food. Exactly what we were looking for. They have excellent seafood, but also try one of their specialty burgers! Service is consistently top knotch. They can accommodate larger groups if needed.

thomas nevins

lunch recently, sort of a darkish but nice irishy pub, we are at the bar, service was pleasant, drinks were good, burger very good, and carolyn's favorite also very good, everyone here seemed to be enjoying the place as were we...the market out front look interesting although we did not buy anything there...good spot, good food!

Kasaundra Chiasson

If your looking for a dining expirience like eating at your parents (without the family drama) Kennedy's Pub is the place to go. It's a family owed irish pub with feel good foods and amazing sevice.

Mike Simon

Excellent as always!!!

Dillon Malloy

I wish i could leave 0 stars the service was trash the food was frozen at best the drinks where weak and everything was way way way overpriced i beg you not to come here.

Ed Barr

Decent food in Irish pub tradition. Spacious and cozy at same time. Located behind Kennedys Market, off street parking

Juliet Heery

We just moved nearby so we decided to try it out. Decent menu selection and good beer selection. I had a steak tip salad, and a lot of the steak was too fatty for me to eat. Husband had a burger, which he thought was fine, and prepared as he ordered it. We skewed the average age of the clientele down about 20 years. Not sure if we will be back.

Mary Bendel

Joe Halko

Diana Phillips

Super laid back atmosphere, wicked good good. Love their steak tips and Delmonico potatoes! They serve kids meals in little paper cars, so cute.

Devin Cushard

This place is nice and relaxing with a great menu. All in all must go in Marlborough.

Mark Brennan

They have really good food I love there salmon salad is good the Restaraunt can sometimes be busy I been there 2 times I would recommend to take your friends and family there the waitress are also nice

Dana Kagno

Good food, had a burger, my wife had salmon over a salad. Good size bar, fun times

Lori Tree

The food is tasty. Even if the parking lot is full, you usually don't have to wait long for a table. The drinks are made well. The staff is nice. It doesn't take too long to get your food. My one complaint is that I hardly ever get served bread. I see other tables with bread baskets and I wonder why I didn't get one. I have no idea how they choose who gets bread before their meal and who doesn't. It isn't on the menu either.

Jean Boutin

Been there for lunch dozens of times serving size are plenty ,,price is rite in line service and staff are great ,,2 favorites prime rib for sure and chicken supreme

Erika Lawless

Very middle of the road food, provided by a friendly staff, in a homey and otherwise quaint environment

Corey Varnum

Place was pretty good. Food was very tasty. My server, Nicole, was great. Very personable and knowledge. You can tell she's been a waitress for a while. I had one of the Chicken specials. Was very impressed with it.

Stefanie G. Scott

Kennedy's is the place to go! My first time here with my wife and we both loved it very much, Very warm, Cozy, feels very welcomed. Love the Atmosphere, Staff was great, food and drinks were excellent.

Susan Shay

Always good. And you just can't beat a hot popover!

Leanne Maccabee

Food is just so so. Waitstaff is overly familiar. Which was uncomfortable.

Nice Irish pub/restaurant with a butcher shop.

Barbara Gautreau

Excellent service - Excellent food- Amazing atmosphere-

Jamie Stafslien

Good pub style food.

James OHara

Nice atmosphere for an ye older looking pub, on holidays, get a reservation and expect a limited menu on those days, but normal menu covers a lot of good food.

John Nikolatos

Wow. Great steak sandwich and fries.

Nate Fischer

Nice service, food was meh

Nancy D'Antonio

Lovely dinner with friends and our favorite waitress, Sheila!!

Brian Butka

Good food, great service, Julie and Bill at the bar are great!

Mark Hyrullian

Turkey was pretty awful... It's sad seeing as it's used in a lot of their lunch dishes. Out dated furniture and it smelt of old towels. In response to the reply from the "owner" there is a big difference from furniture that is made to look rustic and furniture that has been beat and damaged. The holes on the table from chairs being put on top, musty smell, greasy feel of the tables. That's not rustic, that's damaged out of date and gross

Jen Lynch

Cozy atmosphere, great menu selection... from light soups&salads to full meals&comfort foods.

jvmusic 107

Classic old school American restaurant and pub, there’s nothing like it. The food is amazing too.

Jean Whiting

Very typical bar environment with pub food

Carole Orlando

Great food, cozy inside, but drinks were a little on the pricey side.

Jennifer Garden

The service was outstanding! Food was decent. Great value for the price

Ron Schnaper

We held a small function here and absolutely everyone was very nice and kind to us.

Kelly Rowles

One of life's best simple dining experiences. Still awesome food and service after decades!

Glenn Mallon

Food is nice enough. Servers seem good. Selection isn't huge and price isn't the best either. Not had anything bad here, though. The small deli out front is pretty awesome, though.

Carol Laman

Always the best experience. Everyone is friendly & helpful. Good food choices, never disappointed.

Scott Ferrecchia

Always consistent and great

john fraize

Cosy man

maria munday

Great food, good service

Dennis Brew

Been going to Kennedy's for the best part of 30 years and the interior & decor hasn't changed. Went to try their brunch on a Sunday morning, which is a new offering. Food was good and we'll do it again.

D Kight

Meh. Pleasant but poor service. Food mediocre...certainly not worth a long drive. Sorry.

Courtney DesRosiers

Went for work Christmas party. It's really hard to mess up a salad.

Kerry Blossfeld

Good, traditional American food in a cozy environment. Old classics like Delmonico potatoes and Chicken Supreme, too! Seating is a little crowded and can be loud but not overwhelming. Good selection of desserts - I recommend the popovers! Wait staff is friendly and accommodating. I did not see any gluten free options on the menu.

bree coarr

Its cozy and has food like homemade when you don't want to cook.

nadlerskid .

The reason I'm only giving four stars is that we had a little problem with an order at my work holiday party, but the staff was very nice and professional about it. Otherwise they have great service there, a bit pricey for my taste, but I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

IreneMary Powell

Always good food

Robert Felice

Good, consistent place with a friendly staff. I usually order takeout and never have any issues. When dining in it's best to get there early as it gets pretty busy. Highly recommend the prime rib, it comes on the bone and has great flavor.

James Pearson

Great food, great staff!

Ryan Winters

Fresh, good quality food that's supplied from their own market. They have the best clam chowder in the area.

Stan Feinberg

Very nice atmosphere, very pleasant service staff. Menu's need to be redone with larger print given the low light level in the dining area.

Team 22

Amazing food and great service. Can be a bit loud but the food makes up for it. Also when lots of people are there it is a bit cramped. All in all it is a great restaurant.

Alison Eccleston

I really enjoy their Sunday brunch!

Lisa Brovelli Kelley

Wonderful meal last night. Our server Gabby was a delight. I would love to know where they purchase their Lamb sirloins. It was amazing!

Joe McDevitt

These area of Massachusetts over rates everything. I have to subtract 1 to 1.5 stars to calibrate what I am use to. But I have rated based on my experience. It's food. You can eat it but it's not worth driving distance to go there.

Joseph Duncan

Very good menu, reasonable prices with an excellent bar. We like the crab cakes or the clam chowder to start. The Steak tips are excellent. On weekends it is a little tough to find parking and the waiting area is cramped.

James Hughes

Very good quality food, however check your order before you leave with takeout.

Dave Dzia

Food was great!! Nice atmosphere!

Alicia Valentin

I can't believe we have never come here for breakfast on the weekend before, we were really missing out! The building is a little tricky to get to if you're not from town...the breakfast place/restaurant is in the back behind the main building. We got the homemade apple crisp waffle, popover scramble and scrambled eggs dish with bacon. The homemade apple crisp waffle was sweet but not too sweet and delicious. We didn't even add syrup. Everything was fresh and hot. The potatoes were outstanding...I've never eaten breakfast potatoes so savory, and cooked so nicely. All the food was prepared with great care and nothing was amiss...nothing overdone or underdone. Our wait staff person was also very kind. They kept checking up on us to make sure we were okay in an appropriate amount of times and seemed to enjoy working there, which is always a plus! The decor was warm, homey, and inviting. We must return soon!

Stephen Geldart

Good food, nice place to eat

Mike Pucci

Bustling atmosphere. Good food and service. Kinda pricey.

Len MacGregor

It's hard to find a comfortable inviting home town place like this anymore. Great food unbelievably phenomenal wait staff and just friendly people as patrons. If you want a GREAT time come for ST Patrick's day. The owner is so hospitable and takes his time to make you feel welcome. Can't say enough. Only bummed out that I have to wait 364 days till next St Patrick's Day. I love this place!

Kristen B

Great bartenders,Great patrons,great food!

Oscar Mendoza

Nice Irish Pub and Restaurant. Love stopping in for a brew some fish n chips and a pleasant conversation.

Debbie Cowdrey

From the friendly face your greeted by too the wonderful wait staff an the steak tips & clam chowder were perfect. I've been going to Kennedy's since I was 15, always consistent an familiar faces still working there.

Edwina Mays

Celebrating my birthday early at our favorite regular hangout. Kennedys in Marlborough, MA. Ask for Shelia. Our favorite server of all time!!! Much love Shelia and the Kennedys family

Michael Mcgoldrick

Outstanding local watering hole with great food. My favorite is the chicken potpie , however only served up once a week

Dennis Oconnor

Awesome service food and drinks. !!

Dawn Voyta-Petersen

Nice little spot. They attract an older crowd but the food is good and the servers are attentive.

Dolores Boule

With dtr. And grandtr. after working at Dodge Park Rest Home

Mark Mcjunkins

I go once a year for our annual bowling banquet. It's a nice place for functions and get togethers. I love there Prime Rib. It's the best around. There Fried Calamari is a good appetizer.

Chandler Boutin

Awesome food, decent service. Would definitely come here again. The decor is spot on, very homey feeling inside. Beautiful skylights keep it from being too dark. A great choice for a meal

James Doege

Great atmosphere, great food

Tim Beaman

Enjoyed the London Broil!

Raymond Dubsky

A little on the pricey side, but the food and service are worth coming back for

Eric Jahrling

Great atmosphere and food!

Samuel Zetlan

The blandest food i've ever tasted. Ordered a special described as "mildly spicy." Mild was one word for it.

Kyle Leandres

Good food, a bit loud at times but generally a nice atmosphere.

Timothy Hallihan

This place is an awesome pub style restaurant! Just met 54 of my friends for lunch (work Christmas party)

Morgan Eggimann

Great food great staff. Chicken supreme is the best. I saw someone on here talking about how to get bread.....but its really quite simple. Ask for it. Like most restaurants youll have to request what youd like to eat. So buckle down and use your words kids. :)

Beth Bennett

Great food and atmosphere.

Wim Prest

The staff made us feel like family. The food was good comfort food. Our socks weren't blown off by it, but it really felt like we'd stopped by an aunt or uncle's house. The combination of happy to see you and give you a bit of a good-natured hard time was super enjoyable.

Jeffery Fuller

Love this place we try to go every week

moonbatxray .

Always a great meal....

Corey Morrell

The best

Michael Nixon

Clean food, good clam chowder but the stake was bland.

Rose Santillo

Love the food, but the service isn't always good.

Thomas Sanford

Great service. Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere.

Patricia Campana

Great dinner and service tonight!

Richard Cygan

Best food in the City!

Kerri Shaughnessy

Great food awesome atmosphere!

Linda Harrington

Kennedy's has an amazing breakfast on the weekends. I highly recommend it.

Hannah Padula

Love this place for dinner, but will not recommend for breakfast. Extremely unfriendly waitress & waited a hour just to get up and leave because our food STILL wasn’t there. The waitress came over 20min into it & said our food would be out shortly... just for us to wait an additional 40minutes for nothing! Go to Jake’s in Marlborough if you want delicious breakfast & quick happy service!

Lance Miller

Nice local resturant. I just go to grab a lunch out if the office.

robert conrad

Best all around

Mark Worthington

A hangout for townies. Excellent food and great value. Try the half sandwich and soup for lunch. French onion soup is also very good. I don't care for fish, but my wife raves about their haddock and cod.

Patty Mayfield

Comfort food at it's best. Popovers are a must! Martini & Wine flights available. Nice selection of seasonal martini's & beer. Daily dinner specials never disappoint.

Steven Neville

Always good

Frank Cicero

Great wait staff, foods gone down a little in the past year it seems. Still a good place to grab a pint & a burger.

Michele Barr

Whenever we go back to Marlborough to visit mom, we eat at Kennedy's at least 2-3 times. My favorites are the clam chowder, French Onion Soup, and the baked sea scallops. I can honestly say though, over the years I've never had anything there that was not fresh or I didn't like. Great menu options, fair prices, and I can't remember a time I had to wait very long to be seated or for food to come. For those Google reviewers that give one or two stars after just one visit for a long wait or cold fries, I'd say give it another chance! You won't be sorry you did. Of course you just can't please some people...

Debra St Cyr

Had a great night. Staff bartender are very nice. Food was superb. Had prime rib end cut and it was delicious. Hubby had fish and chips. Melted in his mouth. Met such nice people in this establishment... Especially Gail and Jim Sandra and bob hope to see them soon!!!!!

Marianne Cunningham

Have been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years. Has always been rated as my favorite place for a meal. Everything I have ever ordered from Broiled/Fried Haddock and Prime Rib to a hamburger or Rueben have been outstanding. Hard to pick a favorite but the fish cannot be beat anywhere!

Meg Mullin

Service is very good! The food is superb!!

Chris Lange

Awesome place great food at reasonable prices. London broil was very tasty some of the best steak I've had.

Edward Verock

Been going there for over 40 years, always good food and service!

Great service and great food. Very accommodating of our large party.

Dean Madsen

Good food, good service.

Shawn Butland

Great food and service

Angeline Sweet

Food was ok, service was slow. But they were busy so it’s to be expected. The young bartender wasn’t very friendly. Never asked how my food was. I hate that. I’ll probably go again but not sit at the bar.

dilon buhlig
