Kenning's Circle K Restaurant

First experience. Friendly welcoming staff. Great pour of Woodford at the bar as I waited for my dinner party to arrive. I ordered the build your own combination plate with bbq rib and prime rib as my two meat choices, the garden salad and the twice baked potato. Great Grub! A little birdie told me that the Owner is retiring and the restaurant will be closing January 31st, 2023. Get there while you can!

Kenning's Circle K is one third of the culinary trifecta of the Westside. Walking into Kenning's is like a time warp back to 1976! This is our go to place for ribs on the Westside as they are always cooked to perfection. The servers are very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. They have an excellent selection of beer and tasty cocktails. The key lime pie we had for dessert had an excellent presentation and an authentic key lime taste. I wish they would bring back the summer cookout for Memorial Day a the Fourth of July.

Definitely a 5 star restaurant...and a gem on the west side. The staff is wonderful and friendly and the food is great. The hot slaw is the best ever and the appetizer sauteed mushrooms are out of this world. Oh and the turtle soup is the best ever also! My husband and I have met some very nice people here and enjoy going often to meet up with them! Recommend 100%!

We rented the back room for a family members birthday, the staff was fantastic, they cooked for about 40ish of us, the food came out of the kitchen quickly, my steak was cooked perfectly medium, they offered us an option of steak, ribs, grilled chicken or fish, everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. The staff worked so efficiently together, there was 4 staff, two women waiting on us for food and drinks, then two men cooked our food and stayed in the kitchen. Everyone was waited on very quickly, it was such a beautiful evening. We brought our own decorations and cake, but it was a perfect setting for us on May 7th. I would highly recommend this venue for any type of event you have coming up!

This place isn't for everyone. If you are the type looking for locally sourced menu items (farm to table), that's not Kennings. If you want to support a local business where the employees work hard to give you a great meal and positive experience, then this is it. It's loaded with history and definitely unique to the West Side of Cincinnati. But there are a few things that make it pretty special. Their prime rib is one of their most popular dishes and it's really terrific. They are also known for their ribs. I would suggest sticking to the 'meat and potatoes' type entrees on the menu - the classics. They had a great fish sandwich, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Dated inside, sure? But that's the charm of it all. If you're looking for a healthier menu, this might not be the place. Nearly everything is prepared with butter, but you can get steamed broccoli or asparagus (uncharge) as a side dish with an entree if you are trying to lighten things up. We have been here several times with friends who have been dining here for years. The service is usually very friendly and efficient too.

Oh my goodness took my mother for her 62nd birthday she got a full rack of ribs, I got the chicken and prime rib, my wife got the pork chop. I personally took a bite of each piece of meat each one was equally as amazing but the ribs... the ribs... were amazing !!!!! I cannot believe that I can call myself a westsider and it's taking me so long to come to this restaurant I cannot wait to come back and I regret that I've waited so long. Also the service was phenomenal I usually don't leave reviews like this but the service was TRULEY phenomenal even after sitting down and looking around to the other customers and how the servers would seat the people and take their coats and be so kind and courteous to everyone that walked in no matter the circumstance.
