I went around 3:30 p.m.and it wasn't busy at all.The service was acceptable, and they were friendly. The restaurant looked clean but nothing fancy at all. The prices were reasonable but not the same as last posted online. The BBQ pork was fair.The baked beans were not to my liking at all.I left them on the plate.The crinkle french fries were very good.The coleslaw and salad and potato salad were very good.The salad had real bacon bits in it, but I wasn't asked what kind of salad dressing I wanted.I received a homemade thin ranch.I will return when I'm in that area but I'll eat something different.
Ken's BBQ has some pretty good BBQ.Highly recommend getting the chopped pork there.The regular barbeque sauce is a split between Memphis and South Carolina style sauce (a slightly thick vinegary sweet sauce).Do get their banana pudding as well (some of the better ones I've had here in the south).The ambiance is friendly and inviting, and the wait staff were attentive and served with a smile.It is tucked away further out from Birmingham, but it is worth the drive.I heard the breakfast here is pretty good as well, so I will be back for it next time I am in the area.
Owner response
Thank you so much, Trinh! It's nice to know we did everything right.
Nice place since they moved.Unfortunately, the service was very slow, and they were not busy.Waitress had sweatpants on that were too long and went under her shoes covered in dirt.Always loved the old Ken's, but the new owner needs to step up the service and maybe have employees wear clothes more appropriate for serving food.
