I had my first meal at Ken Cooks in Pawtuckett Village, and it truly felt like home! 🏠 The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles, and the owner was actively ensuring everything ran smoothly.

I tried the salmon trio and beef stew - both were fresh and bursting with flavor. The mac & cheese and collards were standout sides, too! 🍽️ The inviting atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a casual dinner. With generous portions and a fantastic selection of drinks, I can’t wait to return for another comforting meal! 🌟
