Foods actually pretty good. 7.5/10 it would've been a 10 if it didn't take a while to pick up The french fries were cold and old on my order read more

Dropped in here based on previous reviews & it just sounded like a good place. It was! It's a bit of a dive, but the catfish was fab! Hubby & I ordered the 8 pc catfish meal to split & it was plenty! Fries were not terribly special, but the puffs were. The puffs are like a crispy sopapilla ball with a soft bread-like & semi-sweet interior. Eat them with honey & you'll want more. Service was pleasant & prompt. read more

Still agree: Always amazing food. Cute little hole in the wall with AMAZING food. Onions rings are my absolute favorite ever. Everything you get there is good. Service is always quick too. read more

We called in an order on the way through town. I ordered that catfish dinner 5 piece. It came with coleslaw and fries, but only 4 pieces of fish. They were bigger pieces but four not five. Coleslaw was terrible and fries were old and greasy like they were dropped in the oil to reheat. Fish was good! Husband had 6 piece tender meal, only came with fries. Kids meal chicken nuggets came with 3 nuggets like you would get out of a Tyson chicken bag. No flavor except grease taste. Fries again were disgusting and old. Two large half and half teas. Perfect not too sweet. Outside the building has tall weeds growing in their asphalt, trash all over, inside the floors had so much food and spilled drinks. Entire place could use a little TLC by just normal maintain and clean. Credit card fee is 5%. There is NOT a single credit card company who charges that so of course they are making profit there too. read more

Stopped in for lunch and the food was outstanding. Did the fish and chicken combo and was very good. Cooked perfectly and fast friendly service. A great stop to get a very reasonable meal read more

my husband and I ordered the steak fingers. the grease was old and the meat tasted off. They served water from the tap. The table was sticky and I have never seen a floor so dirty. The baseboards edges were caked with filthy. That place needs to be gutted and cleaned top to bottom. I will not return. read more

Really good fried fish and a classic diner atmosphere. The employees were very nice and helpful. Will be back many times.

Ken's has two things going for it. The food and the customers! Our first time here. Since I'm a very forward person, I asked the next table what we should try. Four different tables chimed in, try this, try that! Talk about friendly! I love small towns. So, we started with those huge onion rings. Fantastic, crispy, crunchy onion rings. We all tried the combo plate, chicken tenders and fish. I tried the pollock, while others got catfish. The fish was light and crispy, very flavorful. Great tarter sauce. The chicken tenders were BIG and the the gravy was thick. SO good! Definitely small town good food, not the chain we usually despise going to. The employees were so nice and helpful. I highly recommend trying Ken's. We will be back! read more

I had ate here many years before and loved it. I am sending this review not only so that you will know what needs work but to give the young waitress a great big ATTA- GIRL. She was great! She was as sweet as peaches She had great customer skills looking each person in the eyes as she took their order. Spoke up and clear. Repeated the order back with precision and she was very attentive to the kids and refills etc. She is also the main reason that I didn't insist on a correction in the check due to so much being bad. I wish I could remember her name. We were there a little before dark on the 23 of Dec. 2024. If that helps to know who the young lady was. The decor was very cute. Two of the kids ordered kids catfish, One ordered Cheeseburger, One ordered steak fingers myself and the oldest ordered adult catfish. The food tasted a bit like it was cooked in old grease. All of the fries was defiantly old grease and tasted as if they had been left sitting in grease for a while. All of the salt shaker, lemon dispenser, table and Ketchup dispenser all felt sticky and greasy. The bathrooms where very dirty and the floor felt greasy as you walked. but also had black nasty stuff all around the edges. My philosophy is if the bathroom that the public can see is nasty then what does the kitchen look like that we can't see. Over all I was disappointed in how such a wonderful little place has been allowed to run down so bad is such a short time. Please hear my concerns. I love local hometown business. read more

Not much ambiance, but you go to a restaurant for food, right? The service was very slow, but the waitress was apologetic and also very busy/hardworking herself. The catfish doesn't taste muddy, which some can, and the cornmeal breading is thick yet light. The fried chicken has a heavy crispy batter and the chicken is moist but not greasy -best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Portion size is huge, a family platter is enough for a few meals. read more

Everything was delicious. We had gish and chicken was great. Staff was very nice. Would definitely come back any time I am in Breckenridge. read more

We eat here every chance we can! love the fish and steak fingers. Great service and delicious food.

Food was good. Service was good but kitchen was slow!!! Also the vent a hood needs work. My eyes were burning because of the grease!

We eat here every time we go to Breckenridge to visit Grandma Laura. Everything here is great. Kids love the chicken strips. Grandma loves the Okie Fish, husband and I love the chicken salads. read more

Decided to try out this place during a trip to possum kingdom area after reading the reviews. The catfish strips are delicious and fried to perfection! Price is also very reasonable. If we're ever in the area, will definitely go back. read more

Ken's Chicken-N-Fish - Catfish plate - American Near Me - Breckenridge, Texas

Fish is great. AYCE is excellent except you wait almost 30 min to receive food even with restaurant only just over 1/2 full. If it was full wait would have been probably closer to 40-45 minutes. Portion sizes of fish is very good. Slaw was okay, but nothing special. Fries were good but could tell not fresh out of fryer. Not hot by no means. Same could be said about the fish: warm but not hot & fresh out of fryer. Actually the "refill" fish was extremely fresh and hot straight from fryer. Service was okay at best. Had to ask 2nd server for refills twice before our server came to check on us. Paid almost $24 for 2 adults including our drinks. So less than an average of $12 a person for AYCE fish is pretty good. read more

Ive been there a few times with no problems before but this time was terrible. There were 2 other tables besides us and took just over an hour to get our food. Prior to the food coming out, everyone had to walk to the front to get a refill. When food did come out, it was warm at best. The fries were old. I got the 6 piece fish filet and below is a pic of one of the "filets". Once food was dropped off, server never came back around again. I had to walk to the front to get a refill again. When paying, 2 of us told the server that the food was awful and nowhere close to the quality of before. The server then states "that is not my fault, I don't do the food" and brushed off our complaints. I showed her a picture of the filet and she said you can go back and ask the cook if you want. If this is the direction Kens is going, stay far away. read more

Original review: Fast, friendly service, generous portion, tasty fish and chicken (I had the combo plate), yummy sweet tea...and those puffs! My only complaint is my food was only warm...how'd they get it out so fast yet it wasn't steaming hot? Makes me think they cook the food in bunches, not per order. Update: Visited again on 12/2/17 and all my previous comments were validated EXCEPT this time around, my food was HOT. I've bumped my rating to 4 stars! read more

We have eaten at Ken's many times over the years but we are done. The food is great and while the service can be slow as others have mentioned, the waitresses do their best to keep up. The reason we are not going back is the dining area is downright nasty!!! The floor and walls appears to not have been cleaned since the remodeling was done well over a year ago. This is probably a good indicator of how bad the food prep area is. I can't believe an inspector would not shut them down for the dining room alone? read more

My cousins came by from Montana and I took them out to eat at Kens. They got the jumbo shrimp and said it was so so good! The little waitress was so polite and attentive. Was an awesome experience for them. Thank you Kens! read more

I visited this place since I've been out of the area for a while now. I learned that it is under new management or and/ ownership and that food isn't as good as it use to be. The chicken strips weren't fresh and the oil it was fried in seemed to be old as well. The puffs were also a disappointment as was the water downed honey they had on the table. As far as the renovation, they are diner-esque but no cigar. Sad to see such a stable of Breckenridge go down hill. Hope this turns around. read more

Ken's Chicken-N-Fish - The 4 piece chicken plate with fries, white gravy and a puff. $5.99+tax. - American Near Me - Breckenridge, Texas

My wife and I ate at Ken's on a Saturday around 3pm. The place was about half full. There was only one waitress, but she did an excellent job of waiting on everyone. The food was very good. I had the Okie fried pollock and my wife had fried catfish. As I said everything was good. We will be back again for sure! read more

Best fried catfish ever... Moist succulent catfish strips in a heavy corn meal batter fried to a crisp perfection. Never had it so good. Fresh homemade coleslaw was also delicious. Took forever with the large crowd, but well worth the wait. This catfish was fresh made and as good as could be. For $9.99 my wife and I shared the 8 piece platter and were satisfied. Didn't love the clam strips my daughter had, but mom liked them. Go here, have the catfish, you won't be disappointed. read more

Catfish was fresh hot and lightly breaded. I am not a Cole slaw person homemade tarter sauce was very good. Not sure what a puff is but I ate it. Wish I could have tried onion ring but to much food for one person read more

Ken's Chicken-N-Fish - Catfish dinner - American Near Me - Breckenridge, Texas

This place has authentic, hand battered chicken and fish. The food is amazing! They also serve puff pastries with your meal that are the perfect end to the great tastes. I'd give a better review but as we were the first to dine upon opening, the place had not been cleaned the night before, after closing, or the morning before opening. It is unpleasant to have to wipe my own table and chair off and nobody has been there yet. This is my second visit to this establishment and the first visit was better. Hopefully they were having a rough day or were short handed. But the food is worth it. read more

Best fish ever! Drove 2 hours one way for lunch today! I ate there a lot growing up and I now have my coworker hooked.

GREAT HOMEMADE FOOD! We tried the chicken strips, pollock and steak fingers and all were DELICIOUS. Their batters/breading on their meats are tasty and stay on but what puts them over the top is their meats are flavorful too and tender. We enjoyed the coleslaw and puffs as well. The fries were just your normal frozen ones but cooked well. Did not try onion rings but they looked very tempting. Also imagine their chicken fry sandwich would be great as the steak fingers bit through very easily yet still had great texture. Tip is to not be in a hurry. Since the food is homemade it takes time but is more than worth it if you enjoy homemade fried goodness. Wish I could give them 4.5 stars as they are better than 4 but not a quite a 5 with frozen fries and could use a little more help up front although they were nice and friendly. Well worth the stop and would eat here again if back in the area. read more

Have the best catfish in town. 60's burger joint feel complete with records on the walls and memorabilia of Elvis. Chicken, fish, and they brought burgers back. Reasonably priced with student and senior discounts! read more

I was really surprised that we enjoyed this place as much as we did. I am not a fish eater, but I took a bite of my husband's catfish and it was good. I regretted not getting it. Also, the burger I had was good. read more

This is fried food Heaven. I'm not a big catfish fan and I read that it was good so I got the Pollack fish with the same cornmeal batter called the Southern plate. Definitely the way to go. Add some malt vinegar and a lil Tabasco and ur good to go!! I substituted onion rings for my fries which was a total score. Some of the best rings ever. Platter also came with slaw and a "puff" (fried biscuit). You HAVE to get extra puffs!! Put some honey on that and you will finish an amazingly yummy albeit bad for you meal. Who cares? It's comfort food. And I'm giving them the extra bonus star for just being OPEN on Labor Day!! Seriously?? It's opening day of hunting season. NOBODY with a restaurant business should close on Labor Day in a sleepy town. Ever. read more

What a trip! This place looks like it used to be a Dairy Queen. Interior is red, white and black (black-and-white linoleum floors) with Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop photos and posters for wall decor - 1950's feel and some '50's music on the overhead speakers. (Inside is nicer than the outside.) We came in early for dinner on a Tuesday and almost had the place to ourselves...but the drive-thru stayed busy. We ordered the catfish and pollock (flour batter at the waitress' suggestion). Based on other reviews, we also ordered onion rings and extra puffs. The onion rings came out first in a basket large enough to feed an army...or my husband as the case may be. They were obviously handmade and delicious. The fried fish was good, the French fries and slaw were average. But the puffs...OMG. These really are deep fried Grand's biscuits. They are akin to sopapillas or beignets, but they are their own bad selves...and by bad I mean good. You get one or two with your meal (depending on which size fish dinner you order), but 6 come to the order if you go that route. These are wonderful with honey and totally worth the fat, calories and carbs. Go for it! read more

Ken's Chicken-N-Fish - ows an empty parking lot - American Near Me - Breckenridge, Texas

I grew up eating Ken's. For a small town, it's pretty good. Everytime I go home, I always stop in to have Southern style fish. They have great onion rings, which are fresh and very flaky! Also, your meal always comes with a "puff", which is a deep fried biscuit that you poke a hole in and fill with honey. Sounds weird, but it is my favorite! read more

This place has really fallen. It used to be amazing but now it is very subpar. The resterant has even started closing during the week. Typically I get the fish or chicken tenders with onion rings and have been very let down. The last time I ended up getting really sick from after looking was undercooked chicken. This place used to be great. Hope to see it improve again soon. read more

Love this place, we stop every time we come over to play ball. Great catfish and the home tartar sauce is awesome.

This place is great. Good prices and great food. I would recommend the onion rings and catfish.

My sister, a nephew, a niece, and myself were traveling through. We wanted something that we didn't have in our hometown (Big Spring, TX) and wasn't real busy. We were on our way out of town thinking maybe to eat in the next town until we saw Ken's Chicken-N-Fish. I had the all you can eat catfish but was more than enough. I only ordered 2 extra catfish strips and was quite full. The strips were just the right size and tasted very good. The french fries were awesome. The puffs, which are deep-fried biscuits, are light and especially good with honey. The sweet tea was fresh and not tangy like it's supposed to be. My nephew had the little corn dogs with mustard and ketchup which he liked. He also liked the puffs. My niece loved the puffs. My nephew and myself gave her each a puff. My sister had the smaller catfish plate and really liked it. I don't know what my niece had but she liked it. The outside of the building looks like a very old Dairy Queen but the interior and the employees give it a hometown feel. The decoration gives the feel of a local cafe and the staff are warm and inviting. After talking with one of the employees, we found that it had opened in 1979. For any of you that would like to keep a good restaurant going, the current owners are tired of the business and want to sell. read more

We had a Lovely meal here, served by friendly staff in a sun filled 50's dinner. The Catfish was finger licking good. The "puffs" which are fried bread, were quite tasty too. read more

What a cute little diner!! The food was delicious and huge portions. We got chicken, catfish, and my daughter tried the Shrimpies. They were all fantastic!! Our waitress was sweet and did a great job. And definitely try one of the puffs with honey!! If your nearby check it out. read more
