25 wings with celery and blue cheese
Deirdre C.

Stopped in last night for dinner with a friend. Their wings are my favorite, by far! We got 25 wings, crabby logs and pierogis. Everything was so good, quick and hot!! Always friendly service with familiar faces!

Large plain pizza

OMG! We love this place. We always order Maryland crab soup, a large pepperoni pizza, 50 wings and potato logs. And when they do have crabs we order those too. Also they have Jersey corn. Everything that we have is very good and tasty. The Maryland crab soup has crab in it. The wings, well they fall off the bones good! The potato logs are the best, but be careful because the are very hot in temperature, which is the best. It is served with sour cream and cheese. The crabs they depends on what they have and what they have left. I have no idea how the cook them but they ate tasty. When they serve it to you , the crabs will be in a try and the tops of the crabs are gone and they have cleaned out the i sides. The seasoning they put on is a bit spicy. Also you can request malt vinegar. Lastly the Jersey corn! Omg omg! Cooked perfectly and the crunch and the butter soooo good. The service is excellent! The ambiance is friendly and bar like. As for the women's bathroom, well it is quite small. It is clean, but very very small. You are not able to on the toilet the regular way. No room for your legs. So you have been warned. We love this place!

What an awesome corner taproom. I had the kielbasa with pierogies special, we also got their wings, cheesesteak egg rolls and a pork sandwich. The bar tender was very friendly. We also got the cucumber and tomato salad to go. Food was good, service was fast. I would definitely recommend.

"Chicken" Caesar salad
Melissa G.

I'm sorry but this salad is a disgrace. A box of soggy brown lettuce, due to the "chicken" slopped on top, with a few croutons. Don't advertise that you have grilled chicken and then serve this rubbery gray fake meat that looks worse than wawa chicken. Were told they were out of hard boiled egg but still charged for it.

Buffalo Chicken Cesar Salad

If you are talking about a staple in Philadelphia eateries, you can't leave our Byrnes Tavern. This place has so much history, been around for 40 years, and just has one of those inviting/homey tavern feels. They've got all sorts of photos and knick knacks on the walls, the seating and bar have really maintained their old school character, and the staff is so friendly! They've got a pretty large menu, and you can go from simple bar food like burgers and wings to a nice night out eating seafood and pasta. While they are most famously known for their wings (which you have to try!), they also have great crab selections. From soup, to crabby logs (potato logs with old bay) to the claws themselves, they always are serving up the best. I personally am a fan of their buffalo chicken Cesar salad, and recently had their Byrnes Special chicken sandwich. **pro move here - get it with BOTH ranch and honey mustard** On top of all that, they've got a great beer selection and are usually running specials for Philadelphia sport team events. So if you wanted to submerge yourself with Philly fans, and great Philly food - this place is for you!

12 pc wings. Only comes in one mild sauce. 10/10
Samantha F.

Service was amazing. The food came out within 5 minute intervals. Food was great. We came for the wings and they came in only a mild sauce but fell right off the bone. So good. They also loaded it with a side of celery! Food was hot and tasty.

Best Wings in Philly.... Tender af

I'm man enough to admit that I was a little concerned about how the Kensington Pub crowd would…read morereact to a guy carrying a Jennifer Aniston mannequin. Those concerns were quickly put to rest. The couple behind us even asked to take a picture with Jennifer. This place is great. I think most of the action happens out back in "The Zoo," and it's an awesome outdoor space with something for everyone. Whether you're looking to grab a drink, hang out with friends, or just enjoy the atmosphere, Kensington Pub delivers. The cheesesteak is only $11 and comes with a pickle. You know I love that. Looking at the pictures, the cheesesteak may not have been the star of the Kensington Pub show, but it definitely held its own. The roll had a ton of flavor and was one of the highlights. The cheese was tucked underneath the meat, but it was perfectly melted and there was plenty of it. The onions could have used a little more time on the grill, but they still added good flavor. The meat was solid, and together it made for a very enjoyable cheesesteak. Kensington Pub gave us a fun atmosphere, a warm welcome for Jennifer, and a cheesesteak worth eating. That's a pretty good day in The Cheesesteak Life.

I met my daughter here for dinner before she left for vacation. Since she lives nearby and my…read moresister had mentioned the food wasn't bad, I looked over the menu and spotted the taco pizza. That was enough to get me in the door. When you first walk in, it looks like a neighborhood pub with a small bar and dining area. What I didn't realize was that there's an entire outdoor space hidden in the back! It's a huge patio with artificial grass, large screen TVs, plenty of seating, and a fun atmosphere for hanging out. They even have a large Kensington Pub display and, my favorite part, the front section of an actual Philadelphia trolley that you can climb into. It was such a cool touch and a great piece of Philly history. Their outdoor bathrooms were so clean and smells so good. This would be a fantastic place to watch a game. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded when we visited, so we were able to enjoy everything. Our server, Desiree, was friendly and attentive. The drinks were a mixed bag. I ordered a light Mike's Hard tea which tasted light!  My daughter started with a lemon drop martini, but it was very watered down, so she sent it back. She ordered a different blue cocktail instead and liked that one much better. I ordered the personal taco pizza. It was the perfect size, and the crust was good, but it didn't really taste like a taco pizza. I've had taco pizza that were packed with bold taco flavor, and this one was a little under seasoned for my taste. The meat was tender, though, and I ended up taking the leftovers home and adding a little extra seasoning. My daughter ordered the taco salad, which was good and served in a large crispy tortilla bowl. Like the pizza, it just didn't quite have that classic taco flavor we were expecting. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. Despite Kensington's reputation, this pub is a hidden gem. Parking can be a little challenging since it's in a residential area, but if you're nearby, it's definitely worth stopping in. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, especially since my daughter lives so close.
