kenny's burger joint

i've been to kenny's mini-chains before including both burger joints. i've always been impressed by the quality of the hamburgers and occasionally, like now, completely blown away.
the inside is decorated with movie quotes. its almost always very busy, and quite noisy. usually i flee places this noisy but for this kind of restaurant it was appropriate.
we had the plain, royale, and bud's queso burgers, along with onion rings, fried, and sweet potato fries.
the simple burgers were excellent and the queso burger fantastic. this came with an amazing amount of bacon, lots and lots of jalapenos, and was covered with very nice queso. the burger had a nice char and was very juicy. i tend to dislike having to eat with a fork but given the amount of queso knife and fork were necessary. only one of us was able to actually finish their burger. everyone else left a lot behind, that was howgoodthis was. our only small quibble was the pickles were thin sliced and didn't contribute much to the flavor.
this just jumped to the top of my burger list.

good burgers, but somewhat challenging to eat. it's difficult to keep the toppings and bun together, and can get quite messy. that said, the flavors were really good as was the service. we really liked the truffle parmesan fries, and the real stand-out was the fried pickles. i've never had the long slices fried, but that along with the panko breading was really delicious! the pickle didn't over-power and it stayed in the breading, unlike how wedges tend to do. not ready to declare it one of my top ten, butgoodall-around and i'll go back for a second sampling.

verygoodfood. we started with the bacon wrapped jalapeños. my husband liked them but they were too hot for me. hey, anything wrapped in bacon is good. then, i got the bacon and egg burger and my husband had the queso burger. both were verygoodbut charred heavily. we added a side of truffle parmesan fries which were amazing. i also had an insomniac adult shake which was delicious.

i eat a lot of burgers. way more than can possibly begoodfor me. i do it in search of burgers like this one. this could well be the best burger i've ever eaten that i didn't cook myself. it's close -- there are others. but very few.
 the difference here and with a lot of other newer burger places -- they're so caught up in their focus on all of the wacky new toppings they think of that they lose sight of the burger itself. that is to say the proper seasoning of high-quality, fresh ground beef and a freshly baked bun that doesn't overwhelm the experience. kenny has nailed the fundamentals and from there the various creations take care of themselves (all high quality as well). oh, and did i mention price? yeah. one can eat a burger, fries and a drink here for the same price they'd pay at wendy's for the same meal.

what would make the experience perfect is fresh cut fries. but the place is a burger joint and not a fry joint so we forgive that. yes, we do. because that burger is so good. i highly recommend it.

best burger i've ever had. oddly, the other location did not taste asgoodas this one. i really enjoyed the homage to "sam" cocktail. only complaint is that at busy times it's difficult to carry on a conversation due to the background noise and music. find myself shouting to be heard.

good hamburger joint. ok—let’s take a look at lunch today. the service was excellent and we were seated immediately, even though the crowds kept coming in. our drink order was taken and within a minute we had our drinks. this is casual type place with a concrete floor, not very expensive looking tables and an open ceiling with walls decorated with pictures and lighted posters. you do receive a black cloth napkin at your seat. the rest rooms were clean. there is a small bar with about 8 to 10 stools on the right as you enter the restaurant.

ordered the hamburger with the trimmings as listed on the menu. requested it be cooked medium well with a little pink in the middles. my spouse and granddaughter split a similar burger. also ordered a basket of fries split half regular and half sweet potato fries. ($3.99) the burgers arrived on a neat square bun which the way was agoodpiece of bread. the burger was actually cooked well done with no pink in the middle. other than making the burger a little dry the meat was good. the meat had the taste of agoodquality with nice flavor. on the burger was a full slice of onion, mayo, (i should had ask for mustard) two pickles and a single small piece of lettuce. while the onion was great, the small piece of lettuce seemed a little less than what one should receive on a $6.99 hamburger. now that’s just my opinion. i would double or triple that if this was my restaurant and i could probably afford that, even at the current price of lettuce and the price being charged for the burger.

now could you eat the burger and enjoy it? you certainly could. the food was very good. the atmosphere is a little loud and seems like the lunch crowd has a lot to talk about. listen to the table next to you or across from you and you will soon learn about many of the office issues at work. now you see the point in my opening about the floor and ceiling. this is not going to be a quite atmosphere.

what do i think about the price and would i go back. the price is fine and yes i would go back. perhaps picking a time well before noon or sometime after 1pm when the office and others worked have to get back on the job. by the way this restaurant is in a high traffic strip mall in a very growing area close to some high end facilities thus i would expect the business to continue to grow.

excellent food!. the wife and i stopped into eat lunch on our way back home from a weekend get away. we ordered fried pickles and the loaded fries for appetizers. we could have stopped there and it would have been enough. the fried pickles are the best we've ever had. the loaded fries weregoodas well. my wife ordered the zed's straight up burger and i ordered the pepper jack guacamole burger. we both were very pleased. the burgers are huge and cooked perfect. service was verygoodas well. we highly recommend.

love kenny's!. my son and i were looking for agoodburger. so glad we picked kenny's!! we ordered the bacon wrapped jalapenos - yummy! they could easily have been the perfect meal. we split a cheeseburger and regular fries. more than enough food for two people. great service too! the only negative was we ordered it medium well and it was a little pink for me. no problem i'll remember next time. on my next visit i'm definately ordering the jalapeno cream soup. sounds delish!

interesting indeed. who knew there were so many upscale kids in this hidden frisco business alcove? high action with wait times during dinner hours make this a popular stop for families and dates alike. food has beengoodand average upon various visits with average service. best thing about this place are the drinks.... freezing...grey goose on tap! try the tuna steak sandwich which simply great.

i will be back!. i do agree that its a little pricey and slow service. however, the burger was sooooo good! i had a chilli burger and it was delicious. we also ordered the fried pickles and those weregoodtoo! i kept hearing that this place was great and i definitely wasn't let down!

better food and service @ snuffers. the vodka "adult shakes" were tempting and after agoodreview from friends, we had to try kenny's bj.

upon arrival we were packed into a small area in front of the hostess where we had to stand with several other groups of folks waiting for a table for 15 minutes - no where to sit!
no matter how we shuffled we were always in someones way as they were leaving or being escorted to a table.
once sat down, the waitress quickly approached the table to ask for our drink orders but that was one of the few times we would see her and her insincere face. she took forever to refill our drinks and didnt aim to please.

after deciding on the bacon & egg burger and a "jucy lucy" with a side of bacon cheese fries, we sat at our table amongst a very loud crowded room of closely packed tables and booths.
the food took forever to come out and once it managed to make it to the table it was far from impressive.

the jucy lucy was overcooked and not juicy as its name would suggest - the white cheese was tasty but it didn't ooze cheese. there was a nice aroma that i've never had in a burger before but that was the extent of my enjoyment.
the bacon cheese fries were even more disappointing. the ratio of fries and cheese to bacon was incomparable and the cheese was not gooey but more of a slab of semi gooey cheese placed over a ton of fries.
my husband, who ordered the bacon and egg burger, enjoyed the brown gravy that we asked for alongside the fries but complains that the burger he could have made himself at home.

overall our experience was a poor one, and will not be returning to kenny's bj.
for the same price, tastier burgers & cheese fries and excellent service, we will stick to snuffers.

great fries,goodjuicy burger

yummm.... the fried pickles are great. the mushroom burger is excellent. brie cheese? who'd a thunk it? i'll definitely steal that one for my playbook at home. finished everything up with a chocolate milkshake to go. i wasn't sure what to expect seeing that it is located in a strip shopping center but was surprised at howgoodthe food was. i would recommend to anyone wanting an all aroundgoodburger.

overpriced! burgers aregoodbut come with no sides. want fries? that's extra and portion is small by the way. kenny's ribs are famous, for what? my ribs came out dumped on the plate drowning in sauce. when i bit into the first one it was cold. come on kenny! you are charging $15.00 for 8 cold ribs and a gallon of sauce with no sides?! bottom line.goodbeef but overpriced.

nice atmosphere, great burger. service was kinda slow but friendly. prettygoodlittle bar, definitively a great spot for a beer and burger while enjoying a hall game.
