Love love they have options for the gluten free folks! This place is always! This is the only spot in the local downtown area that has breakfast everyday except Tuesday. The service is always great! Never had a bad experience.

This was from our trip to CT back in July. Landed at the BDL airport and yelped for a brekkie place nearby. Ken's Corner seems popular in the Glastonbury area and the wait time was about 30 mins. The service was excellent which is why I am giving this 4 stars. The food? I ordered a Traditional Benedict and hubs ordered an Omelet which was one of their specials. We both agree both dishes were just ok.

I went here for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. I was eager to try a Reuben omelet she told me about. There was a line out the door but it moves very quickly. A nice lady who probably worked there handed out hot chocolate in cups to the people waiting. Once seated it took no time for the friendly waitress to come over. I ordered the Reuben omelet but I don't eat meat and they were able to take it out. Shortly after, my meal came out. The place is very busy but their efficiency is excellent. Very streamlined. And my omelet was fantastic. Everybody here is very nice. Well taken care of.

Surf and Turf Eggs Benedict
Reyna M.

Looked for a breakfast spot to try before we head out of town. We saw the good reviews about this place and decided to try it out. When we arrived the line was out the door and into the parking lot and we ended up waiting probably just under 30 mins. We ordered the surf and turf eggs benedict, florentine eggs benedict and coconut french toast. The food was all great and the surf and turf eggs benedict is loaded with steak. The lobster was nice and flavorful. The place is a bit cramped but pretty typical for a popular diner.

Eggs Benedict

Cute little restaurant serving delicious breakfast food. Went with family to enjoy some hardy breakfast. Nice thick service and very large portions. Had eggs Benedict breakfast and all was so yummy. Had leftovers too- recommended

We came here early on a Saturday and good thing we did since during our visit the line was forming around the lobby. They have a ton of specials and items on the menu. I ended up getting the Ken's omelette with grilled vegetables and it was alright. I tried the eggs benedict and that was fantastic. The pumpkin pancake was not bad either. Great breakfast place to sit down if you can get a table.

Well executed standard breakfast fare I've been to this place a few times before. The food here was always done well but never anything memorable. Yet somehow this place was always packed full of people. On my last outing, I realized what was actually good here. It's not that the food is amazing, but the execution is always solid. If you get eggs Benedict, you get them prepped the same way with the same quality. The hollandaise isn't broken, the eggs are poached but runny, the bread is toasted and buttered, and the ham is out of a package. The coconut French toast had a good amount of custard, cooked very well, and had ample amounts of coconut. The coconut was not very sweet and was fibrous, but the rest was great. After going to many breakfast spots, finding consistency is tough. Many times a single experience can be stellar to horrible by a factor of a couple minutes. This place is consistently good, and that's why they are as popular as they are. This is one of the better places to go for breakfast, but be prepared for the wait

Irish Benedict
Mike S.

This place is definitely a keeper!!! Traveling for business and came across Ken's on Yelp. After eating Holiday Inn breakfasts all week, I wanted something different. So I thought to myself, "self, let's look for a Benedict ". I see that Ken's offers Benedicts - I love Benedicts. So I thought I'd check them out. You know it's a good sign when it's hard to find a parking spot. Inside is packed another good sign. Had to wait my turn in line for about 10 minutes. It was more than worth the wait. Seated in a comfortable spot with awesome 70's music playing in the background (don't hate me, I'm a bass player and 70's music is the best!). Man it is only getting better! Now to choose. Among all of the yummy sounding breakfast food (Oreo waffles, blueberry pancakes,etc) I found the Benedicts! Not just one or two, eight or nine! Am I in heaven?!? There are traditional, Florentine, Californian, lobster, Irish, veggie, steak, and one or two more!!! How to decide? I didn't! I narrowed it down to two. The steak and the Irish and ask my wonderful waitress to decide. She in turn asked the cook. He immediately said without hesitation "the Irish"! The Irish it was. Imagine (you don't have to, just look at the photos I attached) English muffins, covered in corned beef hash, layered with tender asparagus, topped with a perfectly poached eggs and dressed in Hollandaise sauce. Add fried potatoes and onions to the plate and you have the perfect Irish friendship!!! Let's just say they played very nicely together! Now for the fun! I cut into the poached egg, and a beautiful golden yolk flowed out!! No half overcooked yolks. No slimy undercooked whites. Only delicious perfection!!! By this time my mouth is watering. I can hardly wait for the first bite. Simply put - deeply satisfying! I let out a long sigh with the wonderful flavors filling my senses. Absolutely amazing! The fried potatoes and onions were tender with excellent seasoning. I could have made a breakfast of just those. Finally, if you haven't had a grilled muffin, you have to try it. Not toasted, cut in half and grilled on the flattop. It made the flavors pop! A good cup of coffee made a wonderful compliment. Alas, my breakfast was complete and I had to head to the airport. Upon my departure, the line was now out the door and this was a Friday morning. They said weekends are even busier. Then next time I'm in the Hartford area, I will be visiting my new friend Ken's place. It your ever in the area, and you are looking for something to satisfy the foodie in you, stop buy, arrive early, plan on waiting just a bit, and make a new friend! Thanks Ken!

Coconut French Toast and Pina Colada Pancake
Melissa T.

I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. There was a long line outside, which was unfortunate because it was freezing, but also a good sign that this place must be good. Considering the line, it didn't actually take too long to enter and be seated - maybe 25 minutes. The menu was full of several tempting choices, but I ended up ordering one Coconut French Toast and one Pina Colada Pancake. I was skeptical about the pancake, but I ended up enjoying it more than the french toast. The waitress was another bonus to my visit - she had a great personality and really paid attention to detail...I wish I remembered her name. I highly recommend Ken's Corner and will definitely return for another delicious breakfast!

Do they take reservations?

No. First come first serve and your whole party needs to be there

Does this place get crazy packed on Sundays? I noticed they don't take reservations. Does the line go out the door? Does it move fast? Just trying to figure out what time would be best to get there :) thanks!

Yes is busy right after it opens at 7 lines moves reasonably fast and worth the wait ! You won't be disappointed . Wait staff will not rush you through your meal either ! Service is also fast !

Good fresh sandwiches, little pricy…read more Came here because the good burger place was full up. Opted to get a quick sandwich for the road instead. The place is small, and the staff were very much in work mode. Not very friendly but efficient. I ordered the Italian combo and the girlfriend got a custom made. The staff got the sandwiches made quickly and I was back in the car in no time. It's a good sub, but not a 14 dollar sub. There's a decent amount of meat and it was fresh. But the upcharge for the grinder roll and the portion was pricy for what I got. Would've liked to see some more veggies on the roll to bulk it out. Or some spreads to amp the flavor up. It's a good stop for a basic sandwich. But it's not as good as some other places I've been to in that area. It works for what it is

We politely asked the staff member to lower the volume, and she did. Our sandwiches arrived, but as soon as two other customers left, Bad Bunny came on full blast again. We asked her to lower the volume once more, as it felt more like a nightclub than a sandwich shop. Eventually, we decided to leave, said our goodbyes, and went next door to the cigar shop, where we could still hear the loud music thumping through the walls. Honestly, it was pretty obnoxious. As for the sandwiches.... Average

They have some cute holiday decor, and on each table they have a bottle of wine. The waitress who came to serve me appeared very limited in English. I told her I'd like a slice of the Bread Pudding, and I pointed to it in the menu. She told me "no" as she pointed back to it using her pen. Ok. That's disappointing. I noticed they make fresh juice from strawberries, mango and other fruits. I told her I'd like the strawberry juice. Again she pointed to it and said "no". Why did I come here, everything is "no"? I told her I'll have the mango juice. She finally said "ok". She asked me if I want my juice with aqua or with leche. I told her aqua. Wouldn't it be a smoothie if it was with milk? I also wondered what kind of response I'd get if I asked for the flan. "No" is the answer to that! Shortly after, I heard the blender running. My juice was delivered to me. It came in a large beer mug, and was filled to the brim. This was so tasty and truly mango! I finished my juice and waited forever for the bill. It wasn't that busy there were two other patrons. I asked for the bill, both of the waitresses passed by me at least ten times before I finally got the bill. While the juice was very tasty, they had nothing else that I was interested in, while all of these things are in the menu. The checkout process was very slow. I will not be stopping by Toby's again.

Didn't know what to expect walking in - never knew there was a restaurant in this plaza!…read more It was much bigger inside than I expected - lots of room for dining inside! I was expecting more of a take out vibe, but that was not the case. I ordered the butifarra sandwich (I think they only have sandwiches on the weekend? Not sure). I honestly wasn't sure what I was ordering, but when I got it I believe it was similar to shaved pork loin. I honestly wish I got asada for meat because I am not the biggest pork fan, but everything else on the sandwich made it come together! They gave me a green sauce that she told me to put on the sandwich and she wasn't wrong!! It was DELICIOUS, I wish i had 5 more cups of it! The Portuguese roll was also so soft and fresh. It was great. The staff was all very friendly! There was an older man there who greeted me and waved me over once my food was done (didn't take longer than 10 minutes from ordering to me going out the door). Was it Toby?! Maybe! I can't wait to come back and try the Lomo and Ceviche!

I need to start this review by emphasizing the fact that my grilled chicken sandwich was really,…read morereally, really good! I mean absolutely delicious! It was tender, juicy, flavorful grilled chicken on fresh bread with some absolutely kicking honey mustard. I will 100% go back to this place because The sandwich was near perfection. That being said, the service was seriously subpar. By that I mean, both slow and particularly unwelcoming. In addition, I feel the need to mention that we chose to stay there to eat, and both the tables and the salt and pepper shakers were absolutely filthy. So, despite the fact that it wasn't a perfect experience... their menu is really extensive and the food is delicious, so I'm sure we'll visit again sometime! Maybe we will order ahead and get our food to go!

The italiano was good I just wasn't crazy about the bread and I'd add spicy brown mustard and extra cheese next time.

They had blue raspberry popsicles!! I've been looking for these and craving them for almost two years now, I would come back for those alone but also the sandwiches.
