I love this place. It's a great local pub that keeps its kitchen open til 9! wow a rarity on the shoreline. The fish and chips with Guinness beer batter are delicious! Shoreline fish sandwich had a nice dressing and lighter batter. The bar always has a lovely engaging crowd of locals. Perhaps Guilford's best neighborhood pub! read more

This place was horrible and disgusting do not order a Margarita's taste like salt and their chicken tenders was a ball of chicken on cooked disgusting !!!!and they have Ants!! read more

Another night at KC's in Guilford. Caitlyn was our server/ bartender. We had the meat ball Mac and cheese and French onion.personally I will stick with their regular Mac and chz but I am glad I tried it. The fish and chips were fabulous! Caitlyn was also awesome!! Always a favorite spot!! Ty read more

Great spot with friendly service and delicious food. The kids love it too! Pulled pork tower is incredible.

The fish and chips were cooked to perfection! So light and flaky. Erin made the service so enjoyable. And the ambiance was enjoyable with the NCAA BB games on the tv. Everyone was engaged! read more

Really fantastic service! The food is fairly good. I ordered the flank steak and it was tasty sand tender but it didn't have any sides on the plate with it. We sat close to the door or a cold winter night so u found it to be a bit chilly but I think that was just our experience. Really good sweet potato fries too! read more

Worst dining experience I have had in a very LONG time...almost as long as I had to wait for my food. If I could give this place negative stars I would, horrible staff I. many different levels. Will not be back, by the time my food finally arrived I was so annoyed I didn't even feel like eating. read more

Service is great, owner is the best. Yummy creative pub food. Also offer easy takeout options. Outdoor seating nice this time of year.

Legitimately my favorite wings on the planet. Their hot wings are amazing. The heat on the wings isn't there for show, it's there for flavor! They have a nice selection of drinks and other offerings, I've tried most, but I keep coming back for the wings! Don't forget to try the blue cheese dressing that they come with, it's homemade and absolutely delicious! read more

Come for a burger or sandwich, do NOT order ribs. These ribs, a "full rack" were maybe 3 inches wide. I never seen anything like this in my life. I didn't know they could bee that size?? See rib bones in a little tiny dish from the full rack for size. $25 for a few bites of meat. Good thing I ordered sandwich so my husband could have half. read more

Eh! It's a nice place to go and grab a beer. My 5 cheese Mac and cheese was on the bland side. I ate a good portion of it after adding some salt and pepper. My friend had the Buffalo chicken wrap and said it was really good. It was quiet this night, it does get pretty packed as I attempted to go there before and there were no tables available. Staff were nice. Checked in on us frequently and always with a pleasant smile read more

I want to like this place because it's close to my job and my brothers house and an easy location to grab a quick drink except the service is awful. Everyone there seems to have a chip on their shoulder and the wait time is crazy. The food is sub par at best. Something as simple as a chicken sandwich is something I can make better at home. I grew up in Guilford and remember when this was chips pub 2 which was so unique with tons of pop culture memorabilia and a lot of character. KC pub is so bland and boring and I get it they want their own identity but the place has no identity. I love supporting local business but this place doesn't offer anything that makes me want to come back. I hope this changes someday. read more

Chicken wings!!! Salmon!! Wait staff are great and friendly. Prices reasonable. Great for families or date night.

What a great find this was! It is tucked away on a side road in town but I'm so glad we discovered it. Unfortunately, I can't remember our servers name but she was awesome! So friendly and attentive to her customers. As far as the food, it was delicious. The nachos were not only a huge portion but some of the best I've had. You certainly get your moneys worth which now a days seems to be hard to find. For the meal, I had their California panini with house made chips. The sandwich was nicely grilled and the chips were addictive. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items! read more

Caitlin, first and foremost is a phenomenal server. The food was out of this world. The pulled pork tower is a must. Ambiance is fun, laid back, and inviting. 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

Good Irish bar food! The Rubin was super yummy. Everyone enjoyed the clam chowder in bread bowls. I was not a fan of the breaded and fried items(onion rings and chicken tenders)-- too much bread. The place is very kid friendly with a kid's menu, high chair and changing table. read more

Waited 25 minutes for fountain soda drinks. Felt bad for our server as the bartender was talking SO loud and obnoxiously with bar patrons and completely ignoring the drink orders for the dining room customers. We ordered the house made kettle chips special appetizer and they were cold , chewy and stale. Our meals were ok-burgers and pulled pork sandwich but our drink and app issues put a damper on the entire meal. Growing up in Guilford I was hoping KCs was reminiscent of Chips back in the day. It wasn't even close. We will not be back. read more

My request was for "takeout." The order of "masterpiece nachos" was just an aluminum container of cold chips and a little melted cheese...no sour cream, no guacamole, no salsa, no jalapeños, and no scallions all as advertised. Our cold chips with some cheese was still $12! Our other order was chicken fingers with buffalo sauce, celery and blue cheese dressings in a small container. The best thing I can say about this dish was the celery was cold and crisp! The chicken was very dry!! They did not appear to be very busy so I don't know why they would prepare this order in such an inferior way. read more

The chicken wings were juicy, plump and delicious. Had the blackberry apricot glaze and the tequila lime sauce. Both excellent. Chicken sandwich was delicious and generous. The drinks are always good. We come here a lot for the good food, drinks and decent prices. read more

Stopped in on the way back to RI from NYC. Not far from the highway but they're BEHIND another business so keep an eye out for the sign - plus there's parking. Outdoor area was a decent size and it's kinda small inside with several tables and a bar area. The bartender was super nice and helpful with selections. We got the chowder, grilled chicken special salad and the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. The chowder was REALLY GOOD and everything else was great too. We'd definitely stop here again! read more

Great local place to catch a bite and catch up with friends. Place was packed during dinner time which is always a good sign. Orders fish and chips and rack of ribs- excellent food and the cocktail hot the spot (ordered a mule). read more

KC's Restaurant & Pub - Rack of ribs and fish and chips - New American Near Me - Guilford, Connecticut

Enjoyable meal. We visited with another couple. Drinks were good although a little on the high price side for the type of restaurant. The portion sizes were very reasonable and prices were fair. I wish they had more entree options but overall very enjoyable. Service was friendly as well. We ordered the following and all were good: flat iron steak sandwich, southwestern chicken salad, Mac and cheese, and pulled pork tower. My friend ordered the tower and he typically never brings home food- however the portion was so plentiful it was enough for two meals! read more

This place is gold. The food is great and the staff are awesome. Great local friendly place to grab some drinks, apps or a meal.

This used to be Chips Pub II and it brought back memories to go here with my son. Excellent food, cool ambiance, and wonderful service. Doing w good job with Covid and a big patio for outdoor dining. read more

An okay place. Came here during lunch hour to grab a drink and a small appetizer. First, to get here, you have to drive into an awkward lot in the back of another building and there are about 20 spots. So not much parking to begin with, but thankfully the lot was empty during my visit. I went in and was greeted by the bartender. I ordered a Blue Moon on draft, and some chili for an appetizer. The chili was good. Spicy to what I could take, and it came with tortilla chips. However, I was not asked how my food was, and I could of used some sour cream. So that was a tad disappointing for me. I love sour cream on Mexican dishes so, it would of been nice. The atmosphere is a typical pub. TV to watch, and the dining room in the back of you. Upon receiving my bill, the chili was $8 but the blue moon was $6. To me, a little overpriced for a beer! I enjoyed it, but it is a little on the more expensive side to other places I have been that serve the same size drink. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch, and it kept me full for the remainder of the day, which was my plan. read more

I have been here twice and both times the bar and waitstaff are straight up hostile and rude. The only reason I went was for an after work gathering, I will opt not to go the next time someone recommends it there. Not only were they rude directly to me, but to our whole group. They made us feel terrible for being there, ordering, and being patrons. The other patrons were rude as well. The entire ambiance is very negative, please go elsewhere if you're seeking a friendly pub. Dirty, rundown, terrible parking lot, and confusing layout inside. read more

What a great little Pub off the highway! It's a little hidden off the road, but worth the find! Nice fall day for soup & grilled cheese! The Steak sandwich (flank) was delicious & the wings were on point! Good conversation at the bar with Missy! read more

Been here several times. I regularly get the pulled pork - which I find to be quite delicious. I have never been underwhelmed by the food here.They have a very good select of craft beers on tap - many which are local. As a local myself, I appreciate this. There are several TVs in the bar area which usually play the regional sports. While I agree with some of the reviews that the service can at times be slow, I find the staff to be friendly and accommodating to needs when requested read more

Staying in Clinton, CT but so glad we drove over to this place about 15 minutes away. I'm always skeptical about new places, as I can be picky, but this place was great. Food: We got potato skins as an app. DELICIOUS. I got the French Dip. DELICIOUS. My mother got the California Panini which she loved, although the cheddar was a bit sharper than she expected. My son got the kids burger and fries which he enjoyed. The house made kettle chips ingot with my meal were delicious as well. Service: Seated right away. The server was prompt, friendly and courteous. I oversalted my au jus before tasting it (rookie mistake) but our server, got me a new one no problem and when we mentioned my mom's sharp cheddar thing she was going to replace it with out any problem. Super fast and professional. Overall: Get here and eat their food. Enjoy the service and the laid back atmosphere. Dont judge this place by its exterior. It will do you no good. ENJOY read more

My first visit, with a couple friends was enjoyable. Atmosphere was comfortable and service was friendly. The menu has something for everyone, kids included. Nice beer selection. Bison burgers and fries were very good, arrived quickly and fresh from the kitchen. Pulled pork panini, delicious! I recommend this place. The prices are fair, and food is great ! read more

Loved the buffalo chicken wrap. Perfect crispness on the chicken. Perfect buffalo flavor for me - not too hot but not mild. Sweet potato fries were awesome and our waitress was super nice! read more

Great food!!! Awesome environment!!! Friendly service. Such a hidden gem. Great cocktails.

Ask for the locally brewed Thimble Island Beer on draught!!! An American Ale that's amazingly delicious... Good Menu with some pub classics...good place to pop in and grab some good and drink. read more

Ok, so its a pub, not a restaurant. For a pub, food is fine. You don't go to KC's for a food experience; its a sports bar. Stick to the burgers and fries and you'll be fine. PS Its a Yankees, not a Nation Bar read more

pre pandemic this place was amazing and it still has good qualities, fantastic bar to watch sports, cute outdoor patio and family friendly. but eating in is a two hour ordeal, waited an hour for cold potato skins with barely any cheese. for the super bowl we gave it another chance and ordered wings with a couple of apps. the wings looked and tasted like they were cooked a week prior, absolutely no sauce, dry and just bland. we also got an order of nachos which was lacking cheese and came brown guacamole. i know they're hiring for kitchen staff and it's been a struggle but dang their wings used to be excellent! read more

There have been some struggles lately at KC's pub. However, this time was different. The wings were spectacular, buffalo chicken wrap was amazing, and everything came out very quick. Not to mention the customer service was on top of everything. I will definitely come back and I'm happy KC's pub is back on track. read more

We dine here often. Warm, friendly service and awesome bacon cheeseburgers...all dishes generous portions. And delish lava cake.

Wow. This place has gone down hill. We came here with four people on a Thursday night. The bar was full,however, the dining room had plenty of room. We waited for our drinks as we watched people leave because not a single waitress bothered to acknowledge that there was people waiting to be seated. We put in an appetizer that never arrived. Our waitress blamed everyone, except for herself, for the awful service, forgotten drinks and appetizer. Dinners were poor and lacked flavor. read more
