I've been wanting to visit Ken's Steak House for years. It's an old-school, well-known Framingham institution with a lot of history, so I went in with pretty high expectations. I'll give you the good and the bad. First, the waitstaff were excellent, and Alex behind the bar in particular was awesome. Drinks came out quickly, he was attentive, had a great sense of humor, and genuinely made the evening fun. I could have Alex wait on me all night. The hostess I spoke with was also lovely and very helpful. Management, however, could use some work. I was speaking with a waitress at the hostess stand about their Sunday hours because the information online was confusing. While she was actively helping me, a manager standing nearby shouted at her to answer the phone. My immediate thought was: why don't you answer the phone? She's standing here engaged with a customer. To her credit, she handled it professionally and never lost her composure. Now the food. I started with the prime rib and unfortunately it was terrible. It came out barely room temperature and reminded me more of cold roast beef than something I would expect from a famous steakhouse. I ate maybe 20% of it before giving up and ordering the New York strip instead. The New York strip completely changed things. It was prepared perfectly, with an excellent sear and a true medium rare exactly the way I ordered it. Very good steak. I was a little surprised that Certified Angus Beef is the standard rather than USDA Prime at a steakhouse with Ken's reputation and history, but I'll give credit where it's due: the strip was very good. And I'm not just someone who likes eating steak -- I've spent a significant part of my career in the meat industry. A couple of smaller things bothered me because consistency matters at a restaurant like this. Both the woman sitting next to me and I ordered salads described on the menu as having tomato wedges. Instead, we received bland cherry tomatoes. Alex even joked about it. The rest of the salad was good -- classic iceberg, purple onion and their steakhouse dressing -- but if the menu says tomato wedges, serve tomato wedges. Same thing with dessert. We ordered a chocolate fudge dessert that was described to us as being served in cast iron. It arrived on a regular white plate. Is that a huge deal? No. But when you're an established, nostalgic steakhouse, those little details and traditions are part of what people are coming for. All in all, I had a nice evening. The New York strip was very good, Alex and the waitstaff were terrific, and I met some genuinely nice people at the bar. The place has a comfortable, old-school feel that made for a fun Sunday night dinner. There's a lot to like about Ken's. I'd just like to see the food and management live up more consistently to the history and reputation of the place. read more

Went here on New Year's Eve around 4:00 pm. Great location, right on the west-bound side of Route 9, and has plenty of parking. I think we were either at the Early Bird Special, or in the group of people who hate New Years Eve partying and all that Bally-hoo, but we were definitely the youngest folks there besides those who were working! Started with the standard Ken's Garden Salad. Top shelf. Nothing bad about this whatsoever. Ice cold, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a most wonderful light dressing. The salad alone would be worth the trip, and I mean that sincerely. We each had a 10 ounce steak. Of course there are all sorts of meats and cuts till get, but red meat is really not my preference whatsoever. That said, I feel silly ordering Fisk or chicken at a steak house - as they say, when in Rome. Nicely prepared, medium, with mushrooms on the side and green beans. Very well done. A compare and contrast, to Davio's. I'd give the edge to Davio's for a more modern menu with a wider array of options. Pricing, I'd say Ken's wins. Upper crust/Downton Abbey feel goes to Davio's. Nostalgia and old friend, Ken's. My takeaway - both are very good. Pricing, product, venue,and the people are what makes Ken's special. Highly recommend a trek. No negatives whatsoever. read more

My husband passed away and I thought it would be convenient to have the post-service lunch at Ken's Steakhouse. The location is convenient to where the service was held, and there is a parking lot. I spoke with someone at the restaurant to determine what I would like for my guests. He was quite nice and accommodating. A large room had been reserved for us, and it had several large round tables. This was great, because it gave people an opportunity to chat and get to know each other - round tables are much better for that than rectangular ones. A gentleman, I think his name was Nick (I hope) was in charge, and asked me to let him know when I'd like the buffet set up. The food was brought out and set up on a buffet table. We had salad, rolls & butter, chicken parmesan, baked haddock, and sliced sirloin. For sides we had green beans and the most delicious roasted potatoes I've ever tasted. For dessert there were homemade cookies, along with coffee and tea. There was also a full bar for soft drinks or alcohol. Everything was delicious. Really delicious. The atmosphere was great as there was plenty of time for mixing, mingling, eating. We weren't rushed at all. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Everything was made extremely easy for me, and my guests enjoyed it immensely. read more

Grabbed lunch here with my mom and we had a pleasant time. Our waiter was very attentive and guided us through the menu. The interior was old school and they had the gold tournament on screens so it was fun. We were brought fresh rolls to start, they had onions in them which was an acquired taste not my favorite but still good and warm. Calamari appetizer was a generous portion and yummy--other tables were ordering this too. I got the prime rib which came with a cesar salad, the salad was large and tasty. I liked the croutons. My prime rib was cooked well and a huge size. No sides that it comes with so I ordered butternut squash which was fantastic. I was full and so was my mom. We made room for dessert and split a brownie sundae which was the perfect way to end off the meal. Overall we had a very nice lunch and I would come back here to try other dishes. Lots of parking too! read more

My first time at Ken's Steakhouse in Natick. Used to drive by it lots and heard other people went. So one day I decided to go with my daughter. I have to say inside it's very nice. Paintings, furniture, lights, the decor is really beautiful. We were seated in the lounge area with the big TVs on, but it was still very nice. Comfortable chairs. We first started with the fried calamari which was very tasty! We both had the prime rib. It just comes with your choice of house or Caesar salad. I had the house salad. It was simple and I've had better with cucumbers, carrots included but it was fine. My daughter had the Caesar, nothing special here too. You pick sides to go with your meal. For the price, you should get it included but you don't. I ordered the mashed potatoes and my daughter had the butternut squash. Well, the prime rib was very good and so were the sides. They were delicious! We ended with a Ken's Brownie Sundae which was good! I was glad I came. Was it expensive ? Yes but then other restaurants are much more so this is not so bad. The waiter we had was very good at checking in on us. We ordered a soda to drink and he kept bringing us a refill when we needed. We didn't have to ask. There's plenty of parking in the lot. It's in a great location if you want to shop after. Would I come again ? Well yes I would. I was happy with the food. So if you haven't tried it you must. read more

A couple friends and I came here for a late lunch. The interior was classy with old school charm. There was a warm ambiance to the place. We started off with Fried Calamari, tossed with cherry tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The Calamari was oh so mouthwatering! It was satisfyingly crispy in a light batter, full of bold flavor. For my entree, I had a tough time choosing between Filet Mignon and Prime Rib. I went with the Filet Mignon, which came with a side of Demi-glace sauce and Garden Salad. The lettuce of the Salad tasted old and oddly off. I substituted it with Fries, which is what should always come with steak. Filet Mignon was a perfectly cooked cut of meat with nice grill marks. This was tender, juicy, and well seasoned. Steak Fries were nice and crisp, with yummy potato taste. I also got to try the Onion Rings, which were delightfully crunchy and addicting. Service was wonderful. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were pretty high, which is to be expected at a steakhouse. We were well taken care of throughout our time here. read more

I was really looking forward to this spot however it has become all à la carte in the past year would be my guess. All entrees do come with a side salad, but for the prices it not worth the food to me. The 6 scallops were $44 and came with no side. The best options pricewise are the pasta which was OK, but not my favorite chicken piccata I've had. The surface was quick and I'll be honest was very fine dining experience for Framingham. Overall, I don't think the prices are is worth the food. You can find much better options elsewhere. read more

What a shame ... this place has so much potential. If you ever wondered what dining in 1984 felt like, this is an opportunity to experience it. They put some lipstick on the dining areas, which actually makes them feel cold and sterile. They should have embraced their inner-1980's vibe and go full retro. The white paint over the paneling makes this look like a cheesy wedding venue vs. a dining room. Beyond that, the cavernous dining area is kept pretty cold. Given how empty the place was ... and how many staff members were just standing around ... I guess they can't afford to heat the place. We dined with our jackets on. The prices here are pretty damn expensive for what you get. If I order a nice steak, I won't complain about the price but a $50 filet mignon here tasted no better than what you'd get at Texas Roadhouse for half the price. You can tell an expensive, dry-aged steak from an average steak ... and this place has average steaks. The chicken Parmesan was probably one of the worst we ever had. The sauce tasted like high school cafeteria food. It really was awful. The strip steak was probably the best meal out of any we ordered and for $30 it was maybe 6 - 8 oz. Definitely not enough to fill someone up and everything is a la cart. So for $30+, you get a small piece of meat and nothing else. The French onion soup was good but nothing I haven't had anywhere else. Salads were bagged 1980's style salads. The dressings are what you'd expect from Ken's. Not fresh or homemade ... no chunks of blue cheese, or anything. The bar and lounge is the best part of the restaurant. It feels like an upscale golf course ... leather furniture, dark wood, gold framed paintings of horses and a big bar. The restaurant dining areas are cavernous spaces with wedding style stackable chairs that make you feel like you are in a banquet hall. The walls are white painted paneling and the back has that warm, brown 1970's brick and a fireplace that isn't lit. There are 5 foot tall green leafy trees throughout the dining room. It just feels 'off'. It would be so cool as a 1980's retro vibe ... but instead they made it seem like a banquet hall in New Jersey. This place is a staple that's been around forever ... but it's just not what it used to be. Sky high prices ... mediocre food ... odd atmosphere ... and poor value. I wanted to love this place but couldn't on a lot of different ways. read more

Nice restaurant. Gave this place a try while shopping at near by natick mall. Their claim to fame is starting kens salad dressing company which they have on display as you walk in, the strange part is they only serve the house dressing for their salads. The staff seem friendly for the most part but our waitress was just ok she never talked much. On to the most important part, the food. I didn't expect much as the place was pretty empty for a Saturday but i was happily surprised as the food was good, well the steaks. The steak was tender and seemed like a quality solid piece of meat, as for the sides they need improvement they are not bad just not outstanding. The dinner rolls are terrible and need to be changed. The biggest thing for me is they need to flavor things up a bit as everything is very bland. They need gravy's and sauces to bring these place into the 2020s. I would rate them .5 higher if i could and give them a 3.5 just because the steaks were good. With a little improvement this place would be a solid 4 and I would return, but not at their prices which are up there with the likes of Ruth's chris, Morton's, and flemings steakhouses but they are nowhere close. read more

Well, their time is past, I still love their salad dressing, yet their prices in the restaurant are comparable with Ruth Chris. Service was pleasant, we went on Veterans Day, and there were only a few tables. There is so much history there, food is ok, nothing to write home about except that you dined at Ken's steakhouse. read more

I have been getting food to go for over a year now. Once a week like clockwork. I am a member of their VIP club. LOVE the food, LOVE all the servers, LOVE the ladies at the front desk they are ALL Lovely, Professional, Respectful, and the KINDEST people ever......And then there is CRAIG the GRAL. Manager, today he answered the phone. I truly hope that if you call to place a take out order, CRAIG does not answer your call. He was the rudest person I have ever come in contact with. A Manager is supposed to lead by example. First time I ever leave a comment like this. I hope I never do this again. Craig, please stay in your office and let your wonderful employees give great service and treat your customers with kindness, that is why I keep coming back. read more

The restaurant is an icon thanks to the salad dressing. Came in on a Friday night and was able to get quick seating. While we ate in the dining area the karaoke or live music (not sure which) was definitely loud enough to have to raise voices to have conversation. Staff was very friendly. FOr meal decided on the cobb salad and the Ken's sirloin steak. The salad is probably close to how it would always have been done here. Primarily ice berg lettuce, and a good amount of dressing. The steak was fine, cooked to order, but nothing magnificent. In short I would say Ken's is exactly doing it as they have always done it. Unfortunately with so many elevated steak options throughout the area now this is more is more of a throwback to time past. Very affordable, but nothing amazing if it wasn't for the iconic name. read more

Great food and service. Honestly I've lived in Framingham my entire life and had never stopped in until last week. I'm so glad I did, just wished I'd done it sooner. The steak was perfectly cooked and the service was impeccable. They have a large bar that's clean and inviting with very comfy seats and TVs. I will certainly be back. read more

This review is from May 2nd. I ate in the lounge and had a fantastic meal. I started with the meatball appetizer. The angus beef porterhouse meatballs were very moist and well seasoned with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The chicken piccata was excellent and they nailed the sauce for both flavor and consistency. Often times I find the piccata sauce is either too thin or too thick. This is one of my favorite dishes to make myself so I have high standards. I also appreciate the use of penne over spaghetti or linguine as restaurants usually overwhelm the dish with those pastas. On a previous occasion I had the filet mignon which comes with a Demi-glacé on the side that is spectacular. I ordered rare and it was cooked perfectly. This is a big restaurant with several different dining rooms that is a Framingham landmark. A note about dining in the lounge. There is often live music (classic, lounge singer music) so if that is not your thing, no worries as there are many options including outdoor seating in the summer. The vibe of the restaurant is classic and a bit old school although not old looking. Definitely worth trying especially if you haven't been in a while. The service was excellent for both my recent trips. read more

I really want to love Ken's. And every time I go back, I hope they will "wow me this time." But it never happens. I always leave feeling like "that was okay -- but it could have been so much better." That said, I would describe Ken's a reliably okay. I can't really imagine anyone having an awful experience here -- the food, the service or the comfortable dining experience -- but nor can I imagine anyone raving about it. Example: What's up with the bright red cherries in the overly sweet Manhattan? (You'd be surprised how much a dark albeit more expensive cherry warms the heart of a Manhattan drinker.) I grew up in this area, and Ken's has always been a stable presence on Route 9 in Framingham. And in my book, staying power counts for a lot. But not enough to pretend it's better than it really is (or as good as some of the other choices not so far from it). I encourage anyone reading this to try it if they haven't; or keep going if you like it. But I suspect there are lots of locals like me who will keep giving Ken's a shot once a year to see if they've upped their game. read more

I would firstly like to say I have come here for about 5 years now once a year for a family christmas dinner. I am really at a loss for words as to how clear it is that there is no love in this business. lazy servers...a chef that is working at a steakhouse that cannot cook a steak properly is a real problem. The first issue was drinks took forever. Waters had no ice in them, 3 alcoholic beverages were ordered and strangely enough a beer took the longest to come out... about 7 minutes behind. The appetizers were fine and came out at an appropriate time but the server failed to clear the table when it was needed. The meatballs were a little strange tasting. Now, it seemed like our waiter wasn't sure if he took our order or not so it took a really long time for him to ask what we were putting in... really drawn out. The wait wasn't too bad. Firstly, the tomahawk steak. The steak was listed as 24oz but came out with probably 18oz of bone and 6oz of steak. It was flat and small, smaller than all other steaks that were served including the 10oz filet mignon. The filet was the real issue. I personally ordered it myself and am baffled as to how horribly the chefs execution of this steak was. I ordered it medium, something you'd automatically expect a steakhouse to understand but it was certainly not the case. It came out true rare. I asked for them to cook it more, then it came back beyond well done, no pink in sight. I had tried to accept this but did not wish to eat the equivalent of a brick. I sent it back once more and they made me a new filet. This final filet was somehow, miraculously, completely charred on the outside but rare on the inside. It's almost as if the chef cooked it for only a moment then used a torch thinking it would've cooked the inside. It was the strangest consistency, crispy, charred outside with a gooey inside, not my cup of tea. I ate around the edges as I had ran out of patience. It was clear the chef didn't want to spend time making quality food, so I simply gave up. Sides tasted like canned vegetables. Please note our servers were very kind but perhaps a little forgetful. Because of their kindness, I will give two stars. There's no love in this restaurant and it lacks culinary attention. If you want real steakhouse steak, Ken's is not your place. I'm so disappointed as this place used to be so lovely and a great experience but I believe it's time to change tradition and go to a different restaurant for our family dinner. read more

First time here and it was pretty good. The atmosphere and decor definitely gave of an 80's 90's vibe. Our steaks were well seasoned and cooked to the temperature we requested. The sides were not quite on par with our expectations but it could have been an off night. Our server was pleasant and attentive as well. read more

Six of us went for dinner. I haven't been to Ken's in over 50 years. It is still owned by the same family. Everthing the six of us had, from hamburgers to prime rib, was lean, fresh and delicious, although my mushroom risotto is slightly better. I think their restaurant salad dressing tastes even better than their store brand. Their menu items were fairly priced. Some of the bar drinks were a few dollars more than I expected, but still cheaper than Boston. read more

I ordered a filet today, medium rare. It was rubber outside and RAW in the middle. I sent it back. The next one came out the same. Sent it back. Paid for my baked potato and my wife's lunch and departed. This story is 100% factual. read more

We had a small function tonight. After serving everyone their food we realized someone didn't get a dinner. They said they only made enough for what was ordered and couldn't make another dinner for this guest. Another family member had to share their meal with him. What type of a restaurant doesn't go above and beyond to take care of their customers. If they were worried about payment they didn't have to , of course we're going to pay. What a disgrace! I would never recommend this place to anyone! The food tastes like it was frozen and microwaved. The cheese from the appetizers tastes like plastic. Very disappointed! read more

It's been about 15 years since I last stepped into Ken's Steakhouse and it may be another 15 before I try it again Ken's highlights a few items on their menu as favorites, unchanged for decades. I'm not sure how true that is but what has changed is the pricing and probably what they think "medium rare" means. For a steakhouse to serve their signature steak "medium rare" closer to "blue" in the middle was startling. The restaurant was not busy at all and it came out wrong anyways. By the way you get a used bottle of A1 sauce with it. Classy. They take it away too. Avoid the signature house salad. It is literally iceberg lettuce with a few cherry tomatoes and some thinly sliced onions. It comes as a side to a steak but imagine paying full price for it. Absurd. What really tops off the experience is a $16 non alcoholic pina colada. You read that right. They charge the full alcoholic price for the non alcoholic version. I have never ever seen this before. Impressive to impress me. Ken's clam chowder is a goopy chowder with chunks of roux that failed to be incorporated into a chowder. Hard pass. Ken's Steakhouse looks to continue to be a tourist trap serving subpar steaks and overpriced everything. Before you think to try this place for the first time ever or the first time in a long while, just cross the road to any chain and get a better steak. The only redeeming trait of the restaurant is that the staff was super nice I find it hard to believe the present food quality matches the prime of its heritage but somehow this place is still around. It must have been better at some point but probably not in the 15 year span I've given it a chance. Just don't expect too much. read more

Stop in for lunch yesterday on our way back from Natick Mall! We ordered their Cobb Salard with Steak tips and it was out of this world! Best salad I've ever had, the steak tips were fabulous, tender and succulent. The cinnamon rolls were icing on the lunch. The salad was so large I couldn't ever finish it. This is a must try? Pricing with glass of wine was reasonable! read more

My mom and i went for an early dinner today after shopping. We hadn't been in years. My mom got the burger, which came with fries. She said it was delicious. I got the baked haddock. All it came with was a side salad, which had 3 cherry tomatoes and onions. They brought the salad out first and then they brought out the fish. For $32, i expected more to come with my dinner. We then order the blueberry cheesecake and the salted caramel cake to go. They were the smallest portioned desserts i have ever seen for $15 a piece. I am a baker and have worked in the food industry for years and i was just appalled at the prices they are charging for the amount of food they give you. The service was great and the people that work there are super friendly but they need to either bring down their prices or have bigger portions. read more

Went to Ken's for our anniversary. Hadn't been there in years so we thought we would give it a try. We started with very tasty cinnamon bread and then the onion ring appetizer. They was a lot of them and were big and very tasty. For the meal my wife had scallops wrapped in bacon with a Brussel sprouts as a side. I had the broiled salmon with the house salad. The salmon was very good. Disappointed with the salad. A lot of iceberg lettuce with only 4 grape tomatoes (supposed to be wedges) and some sliced onion. The waiter was nice and attentive. Will go back but probably not order a house salad! read more

First time at Ken's Steak House was for lunch on a Saturday afternoon around 2:00. We had reservations for three people and when we arrived the large parking lot was mostly vacant. We were seated in the dining room behind the bar along with three other occupied tables, so reservations weren't really necessary. Our waitperson 'Kate' was professional and friendly. I ordered the porterhouse chopped steak with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad, the other two ordered Ken's special 12 oz sirloin steak. One with a baked potato the other with sweet potato fries and house salads. The salads were fresh and good start to lunch. The sirloins we're ordered medium rare and the porterhouse medium. Both sirloins were perfectly cooked but the porterhouse was a bit to raw. We be back but will probably have dinner and cocktails. read more

Went to Ken's for the first time last week, had always heard of it and obviously seen the dressings but never made it. Very glad we went! It was kinda early, plenty of parking. We were seated in the dining room, you can definitely tell this place has been around a long time, lots of history (in a good way). Cocktails were good, appetizers as well. Had the scallops/bacon and shrimp cocktail. Salads were crisp and fresh, and obviously the dressings were great. For dinner we had the Tomahawk steak, and 2 sides- brussel sprouts and french fries. Steak was delicious, great flavor! And the fries were some of the best we have had in a while. Brussels were also good. Our server was excellent, took good care of us- we had a great time and we will definitely be back! read more

I ate here recently with my partner. He and I waited to be seated. We were told there was a shift change and they were seating in the bar. Which is fine however the next few couples after us were seated in the dining room. We both had t shirts with writing on it . It really seems possible that was why we were put in the bar area. The food was subpar. We were not offered bread, my soda was flat, the potatoes were cold and the worst thing was my filet mignon was cooked medium well. I asked for medium. It is our third time going to Ken's and it will be our last. It's overpriced and overrated. read more

I really want to like Ken's but it just falls short in so many ways. The most important is the food. It is just below average. The Cobb Salad lettuce was not fresh/crispy, the olives are canned, the lettuce over dressed/soggy. The French Onion soup was so bland. The Caesar salad just below average. I given them credit for renovations as they seem to be trying but the good is well below average to warrant a return. The service was not good either. Waiter spilled drinks, didn't clear soup/salad plates before dinner arrived. He was also missing for much of the meal. Ken's was not busy, so it just felt depressing. read more
