My Metrowest people have been hiding this gem from me. Perfectly cooked flank steak with chimichurri, crispy fries on the side, and because we're unapologetic popover fans... one with dinner and one for dessert. .....and they have festive yurts!! read more

Kennedy's pub last night was fabulous. Very busy at 6:00 pm on a Saturday night. Plenty of staff to handle the flow which is nice when you are seated and waited on in a timely manner. Our waitress Kim was so great, very friendly and helpful, a good waitress can always enhance the food and drink offerings and she did. On to the meals, my wife had the haddock, large portion and cooked perfectly with Delmonico potatoes. It's Kennedy's, if you know, you know the Delmonico's are fantastic. My meal is my new Go-to, Chicken skewers with a lemon glaze on a vegetable rice was absolute perfection. The skewers had big chunks of juicy chicken and peppers and red onion that complimented each other perfectly. Great meals. read more

We went there for Sunday date night. We reserved it so we're seated straight away, we chose patio seats. They have nicely decorated patio with tropical feel. It was a waterfall right behind us and that sound was soothing. They have arrangement for heating for colder days. We had one cocktail and one mocktail to start with. Drinks were awesome. We had one chicken appetizer. It was good. We ordered onion soup and chicken main course. Onion soup was great but chicken main course was not good. Overall good experience. Ambience is great. Staff is good. Enough of parking available outside for free. Can give it a try. read more

Such a cute and honey little pub! This spot serves up all your most favorite pub food dishes as well as some more unique options. I love that they serve crackers and spread cheese and a surprisingly delicious complimentary starter. Their menu is extensive and is sure to have something for everyone. While the food isn't mindblowing, it was definitely delicious and the portions are huge! The service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere is lively making for a lovely, simple weeknight dinner. I'll definitely be back! read more

Solid old school pub food in a vintage atmosphere. Lots of locals! A real Marlboro scene.

Came here for Mother's Day brunch. It was too cold outside to enjoy their beautiful patio, so we made a reservation inside. We were seated promptly and the restaurant was busy as expected. Our waitress was polite, but did not engage beyond the minimum requirement. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time considering how busy they were. It was all quite delicious, no complaints. The decor is a little outdated inside but it was an overall nice experience for a special outing. read more

Kennedy's is our go-to for consistently good pub food. The walnut-crusted chicken and steak tips are favorites of ours and the service is always top-notch. In the winter, you can reserve one of their themed yurts or the greenhouse--decorated in styles like Aspen or Morocco--which turns dinner into a cozy, fun, and memorable private dining experience. read more

I like this spot! It's cozy, and festive, and has a happy energy. I love the fireplaces. Our server was very sweet. The fried zucchini could've been crispier, but the flavor was good. My shrimp scampi sauce was a little too thick, but the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The apple pie needed more crunchy bits. My dad's prime rib looked awesome, and the roast beef popover sandwich tasted delicious. My sister loved the popover dessert too. Overall, it was a fun experience and the food was good, I would've just tweaked some of the dishes a bit. read more

Kennedy's has been around for a long time... and for good reason. I took my wife and kids here for a Mother's Day dinner this past weekend. The place was busy but not insane. Our waitress came right over and did a great job throughout our time there; she was attentive but not over the top, always kept us with filled drinks and brought everything we needed right over. I got the Sirloin Tips with Delmonico Potatoes, and my wife got the Seafood Newburg. Kids got a combination of burgers, pasta and fish & chips. Everyone enjoyed everything they ordered. The interior of Kennedy's gives off a classic pub vibe. Old school with a modern twist. They also have outdoor patio seating - their "secret garden" is beautiful. If you haven't been here, you should make it a point whenever you can. Good food, good service, and all in all a good experience! read more

Rented one of the yurts. Was pleasant inside, great for intimate conversation. Good was great, service couldn't be better. 4.5 stars

My mom and I had a late lunch at Kennedy's! Everything was great lobster rolls, and drinks were excellent. I'll waitress. Sharon was excellent. read more

Reservations don't mean much here. We were seated 40 minutes late. Great menu options at reasonable prices. My burger wasn't cooked as I asked. All the other food was great. Our servers were very attentive and polite. Not great ambiance in the upstairs room where we were "put." I would definitely recommend now you know what to expect. read more

Birthday dinner celebration in one of the yurts- the Aspen. Awesome concept and each of the yurts has a different theme and it's very tastefully decorated. Great company, outstanding food, and our server (Nicole?) was awesome. Knowledgeable, attentive and has a great sense of humor. We weren't the group from Nebraska..... If you act fast try and get a reservation in one of the yurts. They have six or eight of them each with a different theme motif. We'll worth it- great for a small group party. (There is a minimum guest requirement to reserve a yurt.) https://www.kennedyspub.com/ read more

I'm going to caveat this review with many little diddies. But you HAVE to give 5 stars for service and that is the end of that. The pub continues to be dark, old and a bit dingy - it is truly an Irish Pub in all its decor sense. But don't let that fool you - they keep it CLEAN. VERY VERY CLEAN. And for a carpet that has seen many feet over many years, and taken many spills, and seen many crumbs - they go the extra mile to keep everything clean. Because the owners/family treat this pub as home. The place is energetically loud, with a cult following at the bar - lots of friendly and thirsty locals. With bar service as lovable as any other jolly Irish pub can offer. Banter and all. I came back because as you know #granniehudsoneatsout will be retiring on Cape, but will always be granniehudson, and Katie the owner from Mullaheys on Hudson Main was offering a cheese and chocolate pairing with wine. $95 bought you 4 wines, 6 onz cheese, and what they called a small meal (salad, entree and dessert, SMALL? WOOOO! NOT!). A fall (icky sweet but tasty and spicy) white sangria and an amuse bouche of their delicious crab cake set us off. Courtney, the server of the night, banged the feet strut and didn't miss a single beat! She is really one of the most impressive servers I've seen!). Camus 50 yr anniversary was the highlight wine, with a hit from a Vihno Verde and a miss from the overrated and expensive St. Margherita Pinot Grigio (there are far better and better priced PG's IMHO) - but Katie's pairing with dark chocolate and mascarpone was super interesting and turned the bland wine around. For entrees, you could pick from 3 choices - scallps with linguine, chicken kabob or bolognese. And WHO KNEW that an Irish Pub could have such a lovingly sloooooooowwwww cooked bolognese and NOT overcook pasta? Not bad for my hubs choice. I went with the scallops that were small and a tad overcooked (assuming they waited for all the plates to get picked up and went a bit over) but were really good and the pasta was great - they could have left out the chunky and unappealing regular tomato - doesn't do a darn thing for the dish, but its a veggie/fruit so I ate it anyway. Dessert were TWO nice sized DELICIOUS caramel cheesecake and a fluffy chocolate mousse (that I brought home because I couldn't stuff my face anymore). And so a fun night was concluded with service fit for royalty and SO MUCH love and care in the attention to the pub-fare, the people, the place, the STAFF (they treat their people right). Yes folks IT IS A PUB. And given a choice between The Pheasant on Cape and this Irish Pub, Pub wins on the basis of home cooking and priced right for the community. It's A PUB - get over it. And I am not a PUB fan. But the new kitchen staff at Kennedy's won my heart back, and so did the staff, the owners and the environment of camaraderie, inclusivity, hospitality and good times! read more

Cindy and Karrie (sp) were so attentive and very fun. Cindy has a great sense of humor, when she served a Pens fan. Great food, hope we get to come back again! Loved the yurts. read more

We went for your typical corned beef and cabbage dinner The corned beef was sliced so thin it was like deli meat and it was so fatty. I thought I was chewing gum. And the cost for the dinner was ridiculous $28.00 Our waitress was great. She was very helpful with everything we asked for. but when we first came in, I had made a reservation they couldn't find it. The hostess was being very rude about it, but they did find us a table and we were able to have dinner. read more

Been here multiple times and the take out service is atrocious if you want to wait, this is the place to go! Food is alright pretty boring for the price... I live close by thought it would have been a quick easy meal to pick up today. I waited 25 minutes in front of the take-out sign for no one to even come out and ask for my name on the order. Long story short I left and brought my money elsewhere. read more

In town for business. I live in FL, but I grew up in MA. I found this place on Yelp and I'm so glad I did! Haddock was delicious with butternut squash and a popover. Bartender was pleasant and helpful!! Great Irish pub/restaurant atmosphere with many New England favorites on the menu. read more

Service was great, food was good. It was very warm and cozy and family friendly. Will definitely be back if I am in the area again.

The Thursday music is a fanatic addition to the great good that you will find here. Sit at the bar to meet the regulars, or ask for a seat upstairs to enjoy the music, but still her the conversation. Wa t a chicken dish? Try the chicken marsala. Want something handheld? Take a dip with Carolyn's Favorite. Pro tip: ask for the sauce on the side. And for a little extra spice, try the horseradish sauce. The drink rotation is always changing, so you can enjoy a new brew or a new cocktail. And last, but not least, ENJOY! read more

We went to Kennedy's to have dinner in the yurts that they have around the holidays. We had a party of 8, with 2 infants and everything was incredible. Everyone's food was delicious, drinks were great and the service was top notch. Our servers, Carrie and Cindy, were so attentive and accommodating. They had smiles on all night, tolerated our playful banter and made sure we were well taken care of!!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a cozy, intimate, and delicious experience with friends or family, this is def the place!! read more

Awesome! Loved the fish & chips and the toffee desert. The ambiance is fun and welcoming. Service was kind & fast. Great spot!

Great little restaurant located on the south side of Marlborough. Waitstaff was top notch, big menu, without it being overbearing. Wish the tap list had more local choices, but it had one I liked. Inside seating had long wait so we sat outside. They had a beautiful little garden area with plenty of heaters. I started with a French onion soup. Very tasty but only warm not piping hot like I want. Wife then had a Carolyn's Favorite- a popover with roast beef. She loved it, the pop over was fresh and tasty while roast beef was nice and rare. I had the Reuben. Very full of meat and tasty, fries could have been hotter be it still good read more

We recently dined in one of the yurts and absolutely enjoyed the experience. Even with the cold and wind outside, the setting was warm, comfortable, and inviting. While the food was great , what really set the evening apart was the service. Brittney, our host, made the night memorable with her attentiveness and hospitality. We look forward to returning soon. read more

What a great find in Marlborough MA. They have popovers as an appetizer and I recommend that you get it with the beef broth. Both hubby and I got two different streaks and they were delicious. f your in the neighborhood I would suggest you try it out! read more

We recently had a reservation in a yurt. I think we paid $49 for the private, outside yurt dining experience, but it's worth doing at least once. That evening was really cold, icy and rainy outside, so we felt bad for the waitress who was in and out of the yurt serving drinks, apps and then dinner for us and you could tell she was a little frustrated with the horrible New England weather at that point. Regarding the actual Yurt, it was warm and fun dining with family privately while we heard the ice and rain pour down outside. Regarding the food, our meals were fine. I consider Kennedy's a good, casual, and quality restaurant that serves a little higher end pub food. read more

Don't go! The booth across from ours there were at least a couple of mice! My family are animal lovers so they were amused watching them. I was not amused and suddenly the average food became uneatable I alerted the staff. Some were afraid and after a while management came over and blamed the opening and closing of the door to restaurant as the reason for mice getting in. Ridiculous excuse and I was disappointed that no apology or anything to make our experience better was offered. I could never eat here again. read more

Friendly staff, cool decor and an old time pub type of atmosphere, the Kennedy is a solid place to grab lunch. I had the Chimichanga special for lunch, which was reasonably priced at $6.99. I enjoyed my meal and the service but there was nothing that stood out for me. Overall, Solid inexpensive lunch with friendly staff. Food is about average I would give it a 3.5stars if I could. read more

I've only been twice, But they have really Good food, and Great memories are made here.

On the advice of my love, we took my niece and her husband out for supper. In Marlboro, a restaurant hot spot, there are many choices. She suggested Kennedy's. You must try Kennedy's. The front building is their retail store. Meat, fish, poultry. The back building, the restaurant, is a dated, comfortable mix of tables and booths. The clientele is decidedly older who, I suspect, like the comfort and quiet of a better venue. Our server, Lindsey, was immediately at our table as we waited for our guests. I ordered an Old Fashioned and my love had a glass of wine. I commented that at another restaurant, my similar drink came with an over sized ice cube reducing the task drink. Lindsey said that would never happen here and brought me one of the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. When our guests arrived, we ordered. I had the spicy cashew chicken, my love chicken Vienne. Everything was perfectly prepared. Lindsey was terrific and you should ask for her. I usually don't give five stars right off the bat but I will for Kennedy's. read more

Came here for a dinner work event. We had about 20+ people and we were able to fit in the back area near the bar. Service was great, even with such a big party. I ordered the Steak Tips and the Walnut Chicken Salad. This was my first time trying steak tips since I've heard this is a Massachusetts thing. It was delicious! It was coated with a sweet marinade which I liked. The whipped potatoes was the perfect texture, which paired well with the steak. The salad was massive. I took the remainder to go and was able to make another full meal from it. read more

We went for a birthday dinner and rented a yurt, it was phenomenal, the place was decorated with a theme, our was Aspen, sat 8, it felt a little crowded but it was not uncomfortable. Our food, prime rib as requested on the red side a bid portion, Scallops were fresh, steak tips and pasta dishes were excellent. Plenty of drink choices and out server was outstanding despite that she had to go in and out to the main building for food and drinks and specific requests from some diners. read more

Came here for dinner last Saturday night and sat outside on the garden patio. Absolutely beautiful space, and definitely one of the nicest outdoor spaces in the MetroWest area. Food came out in reasonable amount of time and was delicious. My husband and I split the Fried Zucchini to start and I enjoyed their marinated steak tips which were cooked very well. Will be coming back whenever we get the chance! read more

Kennedys has been one of my family's favorite restaurants for years but recently we were able to experience dining outdoors in their gorgeous new yurts - the food was spectacular, the wait staff was wonderful, but the ambiance was truly amazing. Each yurt was perfectly decorated for each theme and the Christmas lights were stunning. I have told everyone to come - you must see for yourselves! Marlboro is very lucky to have this great staple. Cannot wait to go back! read more
