    I went last night Oct. 11. Love the decor of the place, the idea of being able to watch your food being made is always a plus. Music was great, smiles throughout the staff, checking to see if we needed anything often enough. I had the salad, very tasty. Highly recommended and seeing it a place to be a regular. Best of luck

    Bone marrow spread over toast with a sunny side up egg was one of the best brunch dishes I ever had. Perfectly buttery.

    Waited half hour in the heat with bikes to be finally told no bikes allowed next to the eating bench by a rude hostess.

    As a native Breezy Pointer, I've been coming to Kennedy's for as long as I can remember--and it's…read morestill one of those places that never loses its charm. Set right along Jamaica Bay, Kennedy's nails that perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. The ambiance feels polished without being stuffy--white tablecloths, nautical touches, and sweeping waterfront views that make it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a special occasion. The menu is a standout, especially if you're into seafood, cabernet braised beef short ribs, and expertly prepared dry-aged chops. And of course, a perfectly poured Guinness always hits different when you're by the water. One of my favorite things about Kennedy's is the atmosphere beyond the food. They frequently host live music--especially on Friday and Saturday nights--which adds a lively, local energy without overwhelming the space. What really makes Kennedy's special, though, is its deep-rooted history. Dating back to 1910--when the original building was ferried over from Coney Island--it has weathered everything from a nearby naval explosion in 1919 to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. After a major renovation, it reopened in 2014, blending its rich past with a modern, resilient design. Kennedy's isn't just a restaurant--it's a Breezy Point institution.

    Came here for a birthday party last night and honestly was not impressed. Service was sub par,…read morefood was sub par, drinks were sub par. We were a big party so there was a lot of food that was had. I'll try to break it down from what I can remember. Bread basket - stale bread and not sure if the butter was actual butter because it didn't taste it Locally-farmed beet and mesclun greens, goat cheese salad with candied walnuts 5/5 - this was really good Jumbo coconut shrimp 2/5 - the shrimp were huge and I was excited to try it cause it's one of my favorite dishes but they had a weird taste to them and the sauces that came with didn't compliment them too well, I've had better tasting coconut shrimp in red lobster lol Burrata 5/5 - the burrata was fresh and delicious Fried calamari 2/5 - had a few pieces and the last piece I had was chewy and wet and I ended up spitting it out cause it creeped me out Jumbo lump crab cake 3/5 - it was alright Tuna tartare 5/5 - I think this was my favorite app, it was delicious Pan seared diver scallops, creamy shrimp & chorizo risotto 1/5 - first of all didn't see any chorizo in the risotto but that's whatever, IT WAS SO SALTY!! I couldn't eat more than one bite. Fresh oysters 5/5 - delicious and fresh, probably the best thing that was served Filet minion 1/5 - once again SO SALTY! ate a few bites and took the rest home to give to my dog after I washed the salt off because just inedible. He enjoyed it at least lol. The roasted potatoes that came with it were delicious though. Chicken tenders with fries (kids meal) 5/5 - I didn't try it but my son loved it and ate almost the whole plate Pomegranate martini 2/5- the first one they brought over was straight up vodka did not taste anything else but I was just slowly sipping on it because it was very strong. The waitress came up to me and asked if the drink was ok and I said it's a little strong but it's ok, she asked if I would like it remade not so strong and I said sure. She took it away brought another one that just tasted like straight up pomegranate, no alcohol. I didn't want to bother her especially since I didn't even mention it being strong to begin with, she asked herself, so I drank it and had two more and I'm pretty sure there was no alcohol in them period so that was annoying. White Russian 1/5 - got a White Russian as a dessert drink and it had no taste at all, how is that even possible for a White Russian?! Margarita 1/5 - tried my mom's margarita, it was very watered down and tasted like margarita mix, no tequila to be felt. Crème brûlée 3/5 - not the best I've had, not the worst. Brownie 1/5 - the brownie comes "à la mode" but I asked for no ice cream because it was for my son and he had a bit of a cough. They brought it out with ice cream, I sent it back and it took forever to get the one without ice cream, I thought they forgot honestly. My kid liked it but he's 5 and it's chocolate lol but I tried it and it was honestly horrible. Tasted freezer burned, was dry as all heck and the middle was rock hard. For how much this place is talked up, it's definitely not worth the hype or the price. Not a place I'll be back to unless it's an invite for a family birthday again.

    So after trying the pizza place next door which I was really happy with I gave this a try since…read moreit's the same owner. Kids at the counter were nice and accommodating, they have a pretty good menu, nice place inside over all. I got the chicken tenders which were really good not greasy but definitely could use some salt. But I was okay with that . The sauces aren't anything to rave about the mustard was too sweet for me, and the bbq was basic . Substituted the fries for an extra tender . But good real chicken and would definitely come here for them again. Now the 17$ philly cheesesteak is definitely an over priced bust!!!! Not enough cheese/ dried out meat/ way smaller than the Normal and usual Philly should be. Not a foot long, no end pieces that were cut of seems just to fit the box. And the meat itself had zero flavor as well so a complete waste of money on this item. Nothing more is worse when you see a picture of something and when it comes out looking and tasting nothing like it should or you expect.

    Ive never written a review in my l8fe there is always a first time. MY wife ordered The 420. Thats…read moreis Mac and cheese with chicken nuggets of some kind. The Mac was watery and had a pretty bad taste as I noticed when my wife spit it out in disgust. The chicken was overcooked and hard. I opted for the cant remember the name but their version of patty melt. Im not a big lover of smash burgers to begin with as I find them overcooked. The burger was good , my only complaint was it was way over salted. Also ordered onion rings. They weren't bad. Overall, not the greatest experience.Probably won't recommend this place or go back. I just wanted to add one thing. The girl that took care of me was very nice. Courteous, cute, it had a nice smile.
