In long We heard great things about this place even before it opened; the grapevine just had awesome news about this space finally turning into something that would stick. We pulled up today and immediately noticed the outdoor play area for the kids. It's cordoned off by oak wine barrels, so they're kinda blending their concepts artfully before you even walk in. We're not *that* local, but we definitely buy the idea that there are few, if any, great kid-friendly places around here. Inside, it might be pretty packed already. There are big heavy wooden tables, with more upstairs. You can push them together for groups. You get laminated menus, and they do have table service, or you can order at the counter. They very carefully manage all their beers, wines, ciders, canned cocktails, and so on. Rumor has it they lured a brewer away from Urban Family and will be churning out their own stuff soon. We checked out 2 things from the regular menu and 3 from the HH menu. It wasn't too packed at first, but by 4:00 the regulars, families, and HH crowd were really filling it up. Wines We tried the pinot grigio, red blend, chardonnay, and rosé from the by-the-glass menu. They're all good enough to order most any place, and finding them by the glass shows they're putting real thought into all the details here. Miso pickles Absolutely ridiculously good. Nice seasoning, tart miso flavor, crunchy fresh cauliflower, carrot, and cukes. Would not only order again but attempt to reverse-engineer these and have them at home. Great HH value. Fried pickles Great with or without the cheese that's softened on some (but not all) of the piles. Awesome dipping crema with a bit of kick from hot peppery seasoning. Drummies No longer offered with green buffalo sauce, which sounds like a sad farewell, based on the description of it (jalapeño & vinegary hot sauce, I think). But the gochujang was buttery and peppery. They pressure-fry the wings so they are crazy tender and moist. Humongous drums, too. Awesome HH value--true, you get only 2, but there's plenty of veg in the bowl. Smashburger Another fantastic HH menu item. Nice fresh crunchy toppings, hearty roll, and beautifully seasoned and cooked patty. Not too crunchy, which I appreciate. Easy to imagine someone ordering more than one and getting way too full. Smokey Dipper Regular menu. Awesome grilled steak flavor to the meat, got some salty broccoli mixed in for crunch and variety. The broc would be a good appetizer on its own! Hearty, savory jus, and the onion rings are out of this world. Even I couldn't finish them all, despite how great they tasted. Super generous portion. The staff here are all free spirits and great conversationalists, which is super nice to see. Nothing about this place feels like a chain in any way, although they clearly put real money into the buildout. Such a welcome addition to Lake.

I've passed by this establishment and always wondered about it. At first entrance it was amazing…read morethe vibes were right! We quickly were able to find a table and were greeted by such a wonderful waitress. She was truly a gem. She bantered with us and gave us speedy top notch service. However, this part does not reflect her or anyone foh; I ordered the fish and chip bucket and was presented with what I can only describe as the box of turkish delights bequeathed to Edmund in the chronicles of Narnia. That night I ended up praising my toilet all night. I thought maybe someone spiked my 6 beers but then remembered I only had the 2. I haven't been sicker than a got dang dog like that in a real long time. I don't think there's anyway to describe the scene in my bathroom other than 1970s Vietnam war crimes. Once again Service was great. Waitstaff was so fun. I just didn't enjoy the side of food poisoning that was given to me. The best part is because of the waitstaff I Will probably go again!

We stayed anyway for pizza and drinks and I'm so glad we did. It happened to be the day before my birthday so, beforehand, I looked up to see if they had any birthday promos. Sure enough, they did, so I downloaded their app and was treated to $10 off of my purchase. Score! I was also very impressed (understatement) by their taproom so I had to get one of the RFID bracelets used to activate the beer and wine wall taps and check it out. I was having a bit of choice paralysis at first. There are SO many beers, wines, and ciders to choose from! The grapefuit Hefeweizen called out to me--like being chosen by one of Olivander's wizarding wands--and sweet nectar of the gods, it was the best beer I've ever had. The pizza is phenomenal too . I'm pretty boring when it comes to toppings so I got my usual. My friend got the Mac n cheese and bacon one, which I never would have ordered. But I'll admit when I'm wrong. It looked to die for. As if the $10 off birthday promo wasn't generous enough, they gave our table a complimentary order of the cinnamon balls and they were the perfect way to finish our epic meal. But that Grapefruit Hefeweizen? It haunted me. I'm someone who drinks beer maybe twice a year, but I had to have more. So a few days later we had a relative visit from out of town. We met for a meal in Burlington. I ALMOST suggested going to the Coconut Kenny's there but was disappointed to find out that the tap room isn't a feature at all CK locations. We had a forgettable meal at Red Robin instead. But the grapefruit hef still had me under its spell. So the following week, when my husband and I had a date night, we had originally planned to go to a fancy steakhouse. We diverted to Lake Stevens Coconut Kenny's instead for some more awesome pizza and the Grapefruit Hef I'd been craving all week. THAT time they had a BOGO promotion going on, so we ordered two pizzas and one of them was FREE. Husband had the mango sour beer. He's not much of a beer drinker, but as he took his first sip and then another, an ethereal glow seemed to spread from within. His beer had chosen him, too. And that, my friends, is how we swore fealty to Lake Stevens Coconut Kenny's. The beer will give you wings.

The straight scoop:…read more I've lived in San Francisco, Boston, and most every major city in between including Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Scottsdale, SoCal, Salt Lake City, and many others. For cities I haven't lived in, I've probably traveled to them with my job. I'd consider myself somewhat of a pizza connoisseur as a result... Having retired in Seattle, I've had a few years now to search for what I feel is the best pizza - - understanding of course that everyone has their own preferences and tastes. I found my favorite yesterday - not just in the Northwest, but of all time, anywhere. My wife and I read about this small chain and decided to meet some family members for lunch. The inside has this nice little island theme that's really cool, fun, and inviting. Nice mix of booths and tables and nicely spread out so you're not tripping over your neighboring tables. The first thing I noticed was the approx 40 beer/wine taps on the wall but unfortunately I had things to do that afternoon and opted for a drink-station soft drink instead. Pro tip: download the app ahead of time and know what you want to get BEFORE you walk in, as you place your order at the counter instead of servers coming to your table. Knowing what you want ahead of time makes it a lot quicker, and you don't clog up the lobby area. I had the 7" Big Kahuna, and my wife ordered the 7" Waikiki - the crust was caramelized, the red sauce was extremely tasty, the red onions were sliced thin (so they cooked quickly without the pungent taste,) and the toppings were loaded. The best part, it wasn't overly-cheesed so you were able to taste the proteins. My sister-in-law had the spinach chicken salad and loved it, and my brother-in-law opted for a sandwich - - there was nothing left on his plate (and the sandwich was HUGE.) It's a 15 mile drive for us, but believe me I'd go to Coconut Kenny's if it was double that.

The manager was very nice and super helpful and what could have been a big problem on a very busy evening turned into a few minutes of waiting outside on a sunny day. The food was good (WOW - especially the Parmesan Artichoke dip. I expected it to be the usual, creamy dip you get everywhere but this had a hit of garlic that made it SPECTACULAR.) But the BEST part of the evening was our server, Brenton. He was funny, kind, very good at his job, checked in with us at exactly the right times and just generally made the evening a great one. Am rating 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1) They have no gluten free options. Not a GF bun, bread., pasta nor pizza dough. I understand not having many, but to have no GF choices is just not great these days. My husband with celiac disease had very few options. 2) Need more and reservable outside seating. Especially on the beautiful days (like this one was) - having to sit inside was a big bummer. They had more tables outdoors but we were told those were waiting areas and that we couldn't eat there. Anyway - a good spot and an even better one if they made just a couple changes.

Sister got albondigas (meatball soup), broth had a nice roasted corn base. I ordered their menudo which came with tender (clean tasting) intestines, and one pata (foot). I added some of their chili oil which was smoky and balanced. Tried their other salsitas which were also good, habanero had good heat and pineapple had a nice touch of sweetness.

In short The name helps a lot--it really is a family place,…read morelots of booths and tables packed into one dining room. But the kitchen is doing a ton of great things from scratch and the menu is huge. It's way more than just a corner Mexican spot. In long The ratings have been high forever and we've been wanting to try it for at least a year. Finally found ourselves with the right amount of time in the right location yesterday. We caught them after the lunch rush, and dude was super nice to come out and hold the door so I could wheel my bride in. There are a few flatscreens up, and in back there are single-occupant washrooms. It's not a big room, but it's festive and they clearly have regulars, judging by the warm greetings are a couple more tables filled up. We had our pick of tables and we settled in to go over the hugely long menus. Do you want something familiar or something fewer places offer? The kitchen runs the gamut here. You get fresh, light chips on the table with some delicious scratch salsa that even packs a bit of heat. We finally settled on pozole and tacos al carbon. They bring out avocado salsa and pineapple salsa, which both add a ton of good flavor. The red table salsa is where the heat is, though. The tacos were delicious, tons of juicy chopped steak inside. I went with this overly-safe pick and didn't regret it at all. The pozole was incredible, lots of real bone stewed in with the meat, tons of great flavor in the broth and super soft, tender, flavorful pork. Lots of tasty condiments. Beautifully homey and comforting soup to warm your bones on a cold wet day. We took more than half of it home--very generous portion. We also checked out a margarita and a mai tai, and both were excellent. You really have to try the food here to get the full effect of how good it is. You can kinda tell the kitchen is ambitious by reading the menu online, and that's promising for sure. But all those house-made scratch touched throughout every subrecipe will exceed even high expectations like ours. Great place, and we're dumb for taking so long to try it.
