Ken's. Worth the hype and wait. We came on a Sunday morning and waited 45 minutes outside. Such a lovely service upon entering the small cafe. Our waiter was so friendly the whole time. I will say it got a bit hot in there but that didn't deter from the food. The hot coffee was quite delicious and roasted locally! I ordered the special artichoke and feta omelette. It was new for me but very very good. Not overly greasy. My friends ordered the special Southern Benedict. They have a great specials menu. We also got a carrot cake muffin and pumpkin muffin. Everything was so so good. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. Just know you might be waiting a bit for a yummy bite eat. read more

Ken's Corner - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

Had breakfast here and it is now one of my favorite breakfast places now. The customer service was excellent, our waiter loved to chat and made the whole expericene feel better. Walking in you get greeted with a bunch of smiles and welcoming vibes. The country eggs benedict, which is nothing short of spectacular. This classic breakfast dish is elevated to new heights at Kens. The eggs are perfectly poached, with yolks that ooze just the right amount of richness. The hollandaise sauce is velvety and flavorful, with a layer of creamy gravy at the bottom. Along with some crispy potatos on the side. If your a benedicts lover, this is the place to try read more

Amazing food and even better service. We tried the baked potato omelette it was a special and the coconut french toast. Both items were so delicious and full of flavor We really enjoyed their unique twist on French toast and their variety of options. Our waitress was very kind and attentive as well. I will definitely be going here again. Note it does get busy and no reservations allowed here but it is worth it ! read more

Ken's Corner - Lobster Benedict sandwich with hollandaise on the side. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

This restaurant is incredible! Second visit and the food continues to be excellent as does the staff. Had a short wait for a table as it's first come, first seved on seating. But well worth the wait. Once seated we were greeted by our very pleasant and helpful server who took our drink orders. Menu is extensive for breakfast and lunch is also offered. We ordered the western omelet with rye toast and home fries and the meat lovers omelet (ham, bacon, Italian sausage), cheddar cheese and home fries along with a bagel and cream cheese. As their sign at the entrance says 'we serve good food not fast food' so patience is needed when eating here. Not a place where you can dash in for a quick bite and be out in a few minutes unless you order take out. Food arrived piping hot with large servings of home fries. Omelets are made with three eggs so they are large and packed with plenty of fillings. The western was loaded with plenty of ham and cheese as was the meat lovers which was over flowing with bacon, ham and the sausage. Home fries were nice and crisp with plenty of flavor. Bagel was toasted and a plate with two containers of cream cheese and butter were provided. And the great touch was the butter was nice and soft which was great for spreading on the rye toast. Prices are very reasonable for what is provided and highly recommend a visit to this establishment to enjoy the great food and service. read more

Small spot with a patio where their is a wide menu of classic breakfast & lunch plates. The food here is very solid, as is the service. The coffee was decent, but the food was much better. Pay at the counter 8.5 read more

This a cute place and clearly very popular. We came early enough that we didn't have to wait, and when we left there was a line. The menu is extensive and has some unique items. The coconut french toast was pretty good, they cooked my bacon the way I asked, but the strawberries in the fruit cup were sour. The meat lovers omelet was very thin, the Texas toast was cold, the home fries were good, nice bark and flavorful. The food came out very quickly, so much so that I think the cooks rushed too much. I suspect their muffins come from the grocery store. The orange juice was pretty good. read more

Stopped in with my Husband for a quick breakfast. Our first time here and it appears this place gets pretty busy quickly. Our wait was about ten minutes. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean . We ordered a single pancake and single French toast. Both were good, run of the mill. The husband had the lobster omelette with grilled veggies. He loved it cause he ate every single bit of it. I had the surf and turn Benedict with steak and lobster. It was delicious and you get a decent amount of hollandaise on it. It was a nice experience so we will go back with our daughter. read more

You had me at N U T E L L A Nutella french toast hat is ;) Thank you yelp for helping me find this little gem and one of my new favorite breakfast spots of all time! We literally drove 1.5 hours to get here with a line out the door that moved pretty quick and I have to say: ZERO REGRETS. It was worth every mile and every second that took to get here! This little homie, cozy, foodie spot totally stole my heart with their farmhouse-style ambiance and delicious, innovative food and coffee. From the moment we walked in til the moment we left, the staff was nice and friendly with outstanding customer service that excelled. What I mean by this is everyone greeted you even just with a smile and transmitted happiness and love for what they do. By the time you order your food you've already become a part of the family and can't wait to try your delicious meal. They have a small variety of different coffee flavors such as strawberry shortcake, Jamaican me crazy and Hazelnut. I tried all three and honestly it was a hard choice to pick my favorite. We stuck to french toast and home fries so I got to try the Nutella and strawberry while my hubby stuck to the cream cheese and strawberry. As a Nutella junkie, you already know which one was my fave ;) I have to say this, and I can't say it enough, french toast will never be my first choice for breakfast EVER. Once I saw the stuffed french toast on someone else's plate I knew that's what I wanted. I wasn't disappointed, not one bit. The bread wasn't too thick or too thin, perfectly moist but not too much. The stuffing layers were perfect and the portion size was optimal. Once you cut through that stuffed french toast and go through the layers it holds its fluffiness and doesn't flatten out, the tart of the strawberry mixed with the richness of the Nutella dipped in a little bit of fluffy, airy, whipped cream makes the perfect balance. Home fries: perfect salt, crisp, softness and crunch. Honestly one of the best I've had. Next time I go I would love to try something else on the menu but it will be a little hard since I think this stuffed french toast with Nutella and strawberry has officially stole my heart. Im so happy to have found this awesome little gem and I can't believe these guys don't have 5 stars. This food is out of this world. Thank you for spoiling my taste buds and making them travel. Best, Sunday, ever! read more

Went this morning with three friends, and Ken's is definitely the best place around. The reviews that I read cautioned about a wait, and they were spot on. Be patient, and look at the menu and specials. They do a really good job keeping everything moving. Our server, Sue, is (along with her husband, Ken) the owner, and she did a great job taking care of us and the other tables in her area. I had the "Big Eater's #1" which consisted of 3 eggs, home fries, toast, and a choice of sausage, bacon, or ham. Perfectly cooked, well-spiced home fries, and 2 patties. Coffee is excellent and bottomless. I also had an apple strudel muffin, grilled. Also very delicious and home-made. All of us enjoyed our food, although we missed the fifth member of our group, Dan AKA Stone. A few minor quibbles.....this morning, it was very loud. I guess this is normal due to it always being crowded. Also, the corned beef hash is canned, not home-made. Normally, for me, this is a deduction in my overall rating. In the end, I opted for a 5-star due to the quality of the food AND especially Sue's great service and personality! read more

When you are guaranteed a great breakfast in your mind you choose this place every time ! We went for my favorite coconut French toast again and as I expected were still fantastic. Thick and filling for two pieces . I added a meal of bacon,eggs and homefries with it . My friend went with a Philly Steak sandwich with red peppers and ooozing cheese with a side of chips. Absolutely delicious he said. They have all the tables inside open now with wrapped silverware and packaged condiments as well. read more

Went to breakfast and had a great meal. It was a little busy, but we were seated promptly. The servicer came by soon after and was attentive through our meal. The food really hit the craving. We had the big eater and biscuits & gravy. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The gravy was not dense and heavy, it was light and flavorful. But honestly, looking around everything looked good. We plan to come back again! read more

This cozy diner is tucked away in Glastonbury. They take no reservations and expect a long line. Staff was super friendly here and everything on the menu looked appetizing.

Mary Beth was a great server. Food was fast and pretty good and Ken greeted us with a smile before we left. Very enjoyable meal

The food is good, but so are other places! What is lousy is that they don't allow take out orders on the weekends!!! And the sign they have stating this is small on this bulletin board outside. This past Sunday, I waited 25 minutes outside and then came up to the sign that stated this fact. So unprofessional. They should have the person who is waiting by the sign to direct everyone waiting outside, make an announcement saying that they don't do take out on the weekends. But for now, my family and I will not be going back read more

Such a great find when we were traveling. Food really hit the spot and the service was great.

Even on this pandemic there is a long line of people waiting for a breakfast. I went with a takeout breakfast. Everything I took was really good. May be the coconut french toast was the best. Irish benedict and nutella french toast were also good. Check if they have muffin with cheesecake. Chocolate muffin with cheesecake was available on the day I went, and it was really good. read more

I have been going to Ken's for 30 years! The food is consistently amazing, and the friendly faces are so welcoming especially as time goes by! It's such an iconic Glastonbury spot you must give it a try.. like an old country store. The only issue is the line on weekends , but it moves quickly and it's worth the wait . Please don't ever change!! read more

Ken's is one of my favorite breakfast spots in CT now. My friend and I now stop in on our girls days out to get the delish coffee of the day and to stuff ourselves on delicious breakfast food. It's been so nice just sitting and eating and laughing outside. The staff are always so nice and really great, and I can't wait to go back to try more things on their menu. read more

We are well traveled breakfast enthusiasts. So believe me when I say this is a top 10 all-time breakfast place. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is tight but cozy and the food.....well worth the wait. read more

Let me preface this by saying we checked the website first for information. We went for breakfast today. You have to wait in a long line to get in , they do not take names to wait for a table. That's fine. Understandable. You're entire party must be present to sit at a table. So don't think your going to go early and snag a table. There is a 75 minute sit limit on the tables. Which is more than enough time. But we basically got KICKED out after 45 minutes. My self and another person in our party were finishing our coffee, not sure who the person was but she said she would give it to us in to go cups and we could go outside to chat. The way she said it was rude and pushy. I wasn't too thrilled with it. The other 2 people in my party were visiting from Canada , so it gave them a bad impression. Food was very good. Plentiful. Specials looked really good. Our waitress was really nice. Just the random woman telling us to leave , and before our time limit was up was the only truly bad part of the visit. Unfortunately because of that, I would not go again. read more

Had our first chance to try Ken's Corner today. We have certainly seen the lines waiting to get in and thought this must be a great place to eat. The line went quickly and we were seated in a cozy booth towards the back of the restaurant. I ordered one of the benedict options, my wife ordered eggs over avocado toast. The food arrived quickly and so did our positive anticipation. The avocado toast was merely a slab of avocado on a slice of toast with the eggs on top. Typically I would assume the avocado would be smashed with some level of light seasoning and maybe some lemon juice to help keep them bright in color for service. The benedict was a disappointment. The poached eggs were well cooked with hard centers. While I know I could have sent this back, my dinning companion was already served and I'm not a fan of eating alone, and neither are most people. I felt that if the plate was presented this way in a restaurant know for breakfast, then they must be satisfied in what they are presenting to the customer and feel it is acceptable. Upon looking at the size of the kitchen and staff I could see why they may serve food this way. The kitchen is super small, the crowds are large and never ending. There is probably little time to prepare the plates in an individualized manner. I think that they probably prepare many great items and I would recommend that you select omelets or pancakes which require less organization. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and so glad I finally did! We went on a Sunday afternoon and there was a bit of a wait, but that was expected. The line moved pretty fast so we weren't waiting too long. Our server was so friendly, she definitely made our experience even better! I got eggs over easy with white toast and bacon. My boyfriend ordered a chocolate chip waffle with whipped cream topped with strawberries. Our food was so good and didn't take too long to come out despite how packed the place was. They also serve iced drinks in these cute mason jar cups! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Like they kept telling us they're just a small family restaurant. My friends and I like to try to new restaurants and I heard good things about Ken's corner. The food was decent. It wasn't bad, but it also didn't stand out. I had the cinnamon French toast, over medium eggs, bacon and hash browns. The server didn't seem to like all our questions (I.e. do you serve chicken sausage?), which almost every answer started with we're just a small family restaurant. Because I felt uncomfortable there, I won't be returning though that's okay because they do plenty of business. read more

Absolutely amazing. Probably the best breakfast place I have been to. Line out the door on a Friday morning. Coconut French toast was unbelievable. read more

I've lived in Glastonbury for over 12 years and this summer was the first time I tried Ken's; I can't believe I waited this long!!! I've been to Ken's Corner three times in the past month and each time, the experience was simply wonderful. All three times, I ordered an Eggs Benedict dish and each time, I devoured the entire plate! The service is spectacular, as many of the servers are very polite, friendly and offer suggestions/recommendations. Whenever I eat here, I feel like each dish is made with love. All three times of my visit were weekends and although there was some wait time to get a table, I promise it is worth the wait! Here are some recommendations: Florentine Benedict Vegetable Benedict Nutella Stuffed Waffles with Banana read more

Finally was able to make it to this place and it was worth the wait . I came in on a Friday late morning and you would have thought it was a Saturday morning , the vibes were good from the employees to the other guests. The menu has something on it for everyone minus the non pork eaters but you can survive. I'll return and try something new just get there early. read more

1st time here. The food and service was amazing! The staff was extremely friendly. My only issue was it was the first time there. I called to check on wait time but got automated system. Upon arrival, I seen a girl and her mom outside. I asked if they were waiting and she said yes. No one told to us on how they do the seating. Walked inside and was told we had to wait in line outside and wait to get called in. Basically 1st come 1st serve. Once outside again, there were now 5 different groups of ppl behind the lady and her mom. read more

I grew up just over the river from here so I don't know what took me so long to try Ken's, but better late than never. We came on a Tuesday, late morning, and there was a short wait - the fact that it was busy at this day and time ought to tell you just how popular and loved this place is. And for good reason! The food is good, the prices are very reasonable, and the vibe is so friendly. I loved the signs they have about being kind, and my Dad really appreciated the great Yankees memorabilia. My son also LOVED the Mickey Mouse pancake with whipped cream - and for only $3.50, I'll be happy to take him back here any time he wants! read more

This is my go to breakfast spot when I meet up with one of my girlfriends. Ken's is a locally owned. The spot is ALWAYS busy. It's first come, first served and they do not do reservations. I order a single piña colada pancake and eggs. The eggs are fine but this pancake is massive and delicious, I don't even use the syrup. My friend varies her order each time but loves the strawberry topped waffle. Be prepared to wait and enjoy your breakfast. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Perfect place for breakfast! Food is consistently great. Wait staff is the best I have ever seen. They run like a great well-oiled machine. The only down side is the wait. I would take away 1/2 star if I could for the wait. Not horrible though, because it moves pretty quickly. But most times, you will be waiting to sit. My favorite order is Veggie Omelet, add Pesto. Delicious! read more

What a little gem! This is the coziest spot we've been to in this area. We were passing through CT and I am so glad we stopped here. Easily the best omelet I've ever had.

Oh my God! The food is amazing! Very tasty! First time there and very recommended! The servers are very nice, polite and happy!

I've never been the biggest breakfast person but every once and a while I do enjoy going out for a nice breakfast. Ken's Corner Breakfast was my girlfriends favourite breakfast spot when we used to live in Connecticut and we managed to make our first trip here together this past weekend. The place was absolutely packed when we arrived and although I do find it weird that you wait in line instead of putting a name in, it seemed to work pretty well so kudos for the unique approach to being busy. Once seated the staff was super friendly during our stay and pretty quick to take orders, provide drinks, and serve food. The large breakfast menu had pretty much everything you would expect along with a good sized specials menu. Because I'm me, I ended up ordering the biscuits and gravy with hash browns and scrambled eggs because I'm just a huge sucker for anything with sausage gravy. The food came out pretty quick and once it was in front of me I was pretty darn pleased with my final result. The hash browns were pretty good and made for the perfect food companion while the sausage gravy had a nice taste to it as well making the biscuits equally enjoyable. The scrambled eggs were simple (which is kind of want you want with scrambled eggs) and sat nicely on top of the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my first ever trip to my girlfriends favourite breakfast spot. I enjoyed both the food and the service and would not mind coming back here during future trips to Connecticut. Big thumbs up! read more

Ken's Corner - Give me all the sausage gravy, please. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I give Ken's Corner a 3 star rating. This means it is A-Ok. I ordered an omelet that had avocado, bacon, and swiss cheese in it. It came with hash browns and toast. I opted for the 12 grain toast. I also tried some of the fresh fruit cup. The meal was good. The omelets are the type where the fold the ingredients into the middle rather than mixing it up into the egg. I kinda like that. The hash browns had good flavor but i thought the potatoes were kind of dry. The toast seemed like any 12 grain toast you could buy at the grocery store. The strawberries in the fruit cup were locally sourced. Not a WOW breakfast but I'm not really complaining either. However, I'm not sure if I would seek it out again. read more

Please don't go here. I want it all to myself. There's always a huge line and a wait. Yes, it's totally worth the wait. Yes, the waitstaff is awesome. The food is fantastic. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options. And actually, more gluten-free bread options than I have ever had in a dining experience. Yes they're doing their best during covid to keep people safe. yes they have so many amazing specials. But it's my favorite place. So go find somewhere else. Thank you. read more
