    Great small town bar feel. Staff is very friendly and remember a face which is nice. The food is delicious especially the sloppy Joe's, fish and chips, fried mushrooms and shrimp basket. The bathroom is a little tight to get in with a wheelchair. My manual chair fits but an electric chair would not fit.

    Good drinks

    The food here was outstanding. Classic Irish pub done to perfection. The ambience was exactly what you'd want for a down home feel without any bougie updates. I'm buying all that with great service and you will have a spectacular evening of feeling at home, eating great, and enjoying the night out.

    I have not been to Kennedy's until my friend told me to try it out. She didn't disappoint in this recommendation. The food is amazing and I'm slowly becoming a regular as I start trying new food items. My friend is already a regular and I can see why. The staff is super fun and friendly. Very down to earth. The atmosphere is welcoming and reminds me of a bar that is close like Cheers. Especially with how they talk to the regulars and treat other guests. I highly recommend this bar.

    We had been dealing with a whole lot of nonsense that needed to be taken care of at the Oakland County Court House. Afterwards we needed some beers and food. This is where we chose to have them. Great choice. Just a dive bar nothing super special. PBR is cheap. The waitress was helpful and very nice we split the wrap. Yum. Definitely would get that again. Not in this area often but I would come back.

    Had a nice fish sandwich with decent fries. Helpful servers, decent tables and chairs, and a real pub atmosphere, with a few bikers.

    Consistently delicious food. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they don't have any vegetarian options except for a side salad.

    Very nice Irish themed bar that also has what I view as an expanded menu for a bar operation. For…read moremy first visit here I got a 1/2 Lb Beach burger That is basically a loaded Cheeseburger with Bacon. The burger was well cooked, nice juiciness, quite tasty and definately a notch above most of the burgers in the area. The included house made chips were OK but not to the level of the burger where in hindsight I probably should have upgraded to fries. Lastly the House margarita, of which I had three, were quite large, cheap at $6 and quite tasty. Small gripe though I thought they were light on the tequila as I should at least have felt at least a tingle in my toes after three but alas no tingle (:. Light alcohol aside at $6 this was still quite a deal for such a tasty drink. As stated earlier the Irish theme and green colors everywhere really added a lot to the overall dining experience. Staff was soooo friendly with great follow up throughout and clearly a strength of this business. Overall We had a great time at a very reasonable cost and will be back for sure in the not to distant future!

Inside and out they definitely fit the bill. It's one's of those places that probably has the same customers that come back regularly so it feels like it's part of the community. The lady behind the bar was very courteous and suggested the Irish chimichanga, which was essentially a giant fried egg roll stuffed with corned beef and came with a thousand island dressing for dipping. I was satisfied with the food, but the coleslaw wasn't all that great and the chimichanga was a little overcooked on the outside for me. Their menu is quite large so no one should have a hard time finding something they like. I definitely recommend this place, but only when you're unwinding and hanging out with friends.

We both had fish with fries and coleslaw, walleye for me and my husband had the perch. Our opinion is the best prepared fish in the neighborhood, not grease soaked and not mushy with a generous portion of fries too. I'm not a coleslaw fan but this coleslaw definitely won me over. I forgot to take pics of our dinner darn it! Also,10% off your dinner if you pay in cash so that's a first for us.

It was packed on a Sunday near 6 PM with one cook and one server. Ordered the cheese curds and Reuben. Both were delicious and would get them again. For two Reuben's and one cheese curd order, the bill with tax was $37, which is slightly high in my opinion. Also, I was hoping for kettle chips or more a homemade chips, but the sandwiches come with a bag of Lays potato chips, unless you upgrade the side. Tip: if you like 1000 island on your Reuben, I'd recommend getting a side instead of it being on because you get more.

The hamburger taste was OK but I am not a fan of the two 4 oz patties that make up this burger and would have preferred one fatter 8 oz patty that would have been a bit juicier. Generous amount of fries came at a $2 upcharge that were well made. Relative to the margarita which was a served in a generous tall glass as the Tuesday drink special for $6, it had a fizzy texture to it and was quite tasty and definately a nice deal at that price point. The restaurant itself has a nice industrial feel to it with with plenty of indoor dining and three large double garage doors that open up to their large outdoor dining area allowing a nice warm breeze to flow into the main restaurant which it did on the 79 degree day I ate here. Very nice! Also, true to its Sports Bar theme there are a ton of TV's strategically placed throughout the restaurant providing great viewing sight lines of the sports programs and games on at the time. Another nice plus. Lastly, the staff was super friendly with great follow up throughout the meal. Overall I was pleased with my first dining experience here and would definately consider this restaurant again under the conditions where inside/outside dining are important to me and/or catching the game with friends where venue had equal or higher weighting than the food.

Mya was our server and she went above and beyond. One of our kids ordered french toast, and somehow we missed that it was topped with a fruit compote. When Mya stopped by the table she immediately saw that my daughter was not happy and asked if she should put a new order in. We declined because we wanted our daughter to try it before she made up her mind, and learn from the experience. Mya came back again and could tell that there was no way this kid was going to eat the french toast. She insisted on putting another order in, saying "I just want her to be happy", and it was clear that she truly meant it. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast - we will be back frequently!

I was a little disappointed initially to be seated at the short bar as it makes me feel like I'm in elementary school due to the height, but this was a busy Saturday morning so I understood as it seems there are limited 2-tops, etc and this visit was at peak hours. It was nice to see the daylight coming through the windows which also made this a relaxing venue. While I was sitting there I was able to observe a lot as the short bar is next to the case displaying many delicious treats. I really laughed to myself as I noticed a couple of future Yelper's (one was 2-year toddler and his probably 4-5 year old sister (possibly celebrating a birthday) make a prompt trip to checkout the dessert offerings first! They were obviously "regulars". I was greeted by one of the wait staff, Mya, who was friendly, served me a coffee and indicated my server would be with me soon. I appreciated seeing the teamwork among the staff. I was eventually served by Owen who was helpful and I ordered an egg white frittata which came with a side of mixed fresh fruit. While I was waiting on my food, I had a vantage point where I could see several entrees come out. I also witnessed one of the two Chefs smiling as he was looking at and preparing the orders which I found interesting. The frittata included spinach, tomatoes, goat cheese, apple chicken sausage, and was delicious. I was still a little hungry, so I realized the future Yelpers mentioned earlier had it right, and I ordered a carrot cake cupcake which Owen mentioned was a good choice. The frosting was delicious and the moist carrot cake was tasty as well. The overall restaurant was hustling and bustling on this morning, I had my coffee cup refilled multiple times and even noticed additional children observing the case with the desserts. I enjoyed the overall experience and did not feel rushed at all, but more like a customer!
