The turkey bacon seemed cheap and store brought (butterball maybe). The actual turkey provided was one slice that honestly looked like anything but turkey and again, probably store brought.

My husband ordered the turkey blt but I didn't get a chance to take a photo before he threw it away. Lemonade was basic and the mocha latte tastes like Hershey's chocolate milk.

Our waitress didn't do the best job at making sure we had a pleasant experience. She was pretty inattentive, missed a few things we asked for, and rarely came back to check on us or see if we needed anything. She also wasn't the friendliest, so overall the service just felt a little off, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. As for the food, it was decent. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. Between the slow service and the food just being okay, I can't say this is somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

I got the regular order because I wanted to be respectful and that is basically what I want on the menu, my side was never received so I had it removed.

The new owners (for several years now) have done a great job of keeping the classics, and updating what was needed. Whether you get it to-go or eat in, service is impeccable. Recently I decided to try the chicken cordon blue sandwich and let me tell you - it may just be the best sandwich on the menu. Perfect ratio of swiss & ham to the fried chicken cutlets, on grilled rye bread. I was blown away by how good it was and will definitely hyperfixate on this sandwich for a while. Needless to say, because they're known for their cheesecake, but the Kenilworth Diner has the best cheesecake, hands down.

We went on a random Wednesday when the restaurant was about 90% empty, yet we were seated in a booth in the back where water was literally leaking from the ceiling onto the table. We asked to be moved, only to find a huge amount of trash underneath the next booth. As I looked around, I noticed napkins, crumbs, and trash all over the floors. There was absolutely no excuse for that, especially considering the restaurant was nearly empty and several staff members appeared to be standing around and goofing off. On top of that, it was ridiculously cold inside. When our food arrived, we had to rush to eat because everything got cold so quickly. We couldn't even keep our coffee warm. The manager was very nice and apologized, explaining that he tried to control the air but was unable to. He did speak to an employee, who came over and swept maybe 10% of the mess before going right back to hanging around. And unfortunately, the food wasn't good either. Nothing tasted fresh. The potatoes were undercooked, the bacon was overcooked, and trying to eat that kind of food cold made the entire experience even worse. I've given this place far too many chances. This was the final one. I will never be returning.
