    This was from our trip to CT back in July. Landed at the BDL airport and yelped for a brekkie place nearby. Ken's Corner seems popular in the Glastonbury area and the wait time was about 30 mins. The service was excellent which is why I am giving this 4 stars. The food? I ordered a Traditional Benedict and hubs ordered an Omelet which was one of their specials. We both agree both dishes were just ok.

    Surf and Turf Eggs Benedict

    Looked for a breakfast spot to try before we head out of town. We saw the good reviews about this place and decided to try it out. When we arrived the line was out the door and into the parking lot and we ended up waiting probably just under 30 mins. We ordered the surf and turf eggs benedict, florentine eggs benedict and coconut french toast. The food was all great and the surf and turf eggs benedict is loaded with steak. The lobster was nice and flavorful. The place is a bit cramped but pretty typical for a popular diner.

    I went here for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. I was eager to try a Reuben omelet she told me about. There was a line out the door but it moves very quickly. A nice lady who probably worked there handed out hot chocolate in cups to the people waiting. Once seated it took no time for the friendly waitress to come over. I ordered the Reuben omelet but I don't eat meat and they were able to take it out. Shortly after, my meal came out. The place is very busy but their efficiency is excellent. Very streamlined. And my omelet was fantastic. Everybody here is very nice. Well taken care of.

    Cute little restaurant serving delicious breakfast food. Went with family to enjoy some hardy breakfast. Nice thick service and very large portions. Had eggs Benedict breakfast and all was so yummy. Had leftovers too- recommended

    Well executed standard breakfast fare I've been to this place a few times before. The food here was always done well but never anything memorable. Yet somehow this place was always packed full of people. On my last outing, I realized what was actually good here. It's not that the food is amazing, but the execution is always solid. If you get eggs Benedict, you get them prepped the same way with the same quality. The hollandaise isn't broken, the eggs are poached but runny, the bread is toasted and buttered, and the ham is out of a package. The coconut French toast had a good amount of custard, cooked very well, and had ample amounts of coconut. The coconut was not very sweet and was fibrous, but the rest was great. After going to many breakfast spots, finding consistency is tough. Many times a single experience can be stellar to horrible by a factor of a couple minutes. This place is consistently good, and that's why they are as popular as they are. This is one of the better places to go for breakfast, but be prepared for the wait

    We came here early on a Saturday and good thing we did since during our visit the line was forming around the lobby. They have a ton of specials and items on the menu. I ended up getting the Ken's omelette with grilled vegetables and it was alright. I tried the eggs benedict and that was fantastic. The pumpkin pancake was not bad either. Great breakfast place to sit down if you can get a table.

    Irish Benedict
    Mike S.

    This place is definitely a keeper!!! Traveling for business and came across Ken's on Yelp. After eating Holiday Inn breakfasts all week, I wanted something different. So I thought to myself, "self, let's look for a Benedict ". I see that Ken's offers Benedicts - I love Benedicts. So I thought I'd check them out. You know it's a good sign when it's hard to find a parking spot. Inside is packed another good sign. Had to wait my turn in line for about 10 minutes. It was more than worth the wait. Seated in a comfortable spot with awesome 70's music playing in the background (don't hate me, I'm a bass player and 70's music is the best!). Man it is only getting better! Now to choose. Among all of the yummy sounding breakfast food (Oreo waffles, blueberry pancakes,etc) I found the Benedicts! Not just one or two, eight or nine! Am I in heaven?!? There are traditional, Florentine, Californian, lobster, Irish, veggie, steak, and one or two more!!! How to decide? I didn't! I narrowed it down to two. The steak and the Irish and ask my wonderful waitress to decide. She in turn asked the cook. He immediately said without hesitation "the Irish"! The Irish it was. Imagine (you don't have to, just look at the photos I attached) English muffins, covered in corned beef hash, layered with tender asparagus, topped with a perfectly poached eggs and dressed in Hollandaise sauce. Add fried potatoes and onions to the plate and you have the perfect Irish friendship!!! Let's just say they played very nicely together! Now for the fun! I cut into the poached egg, and a beautiful golden yolk flowed out!! No half overcooked yolks. No slimy undercooked whites. Only delicious perfection!!! By this time my mouth is watering. I can hardly wait for the first bite. Simply put - deeply satisfying! I let out a long sigh with the wonderful flavors filling my senses. Absolutely amazing! The fried potatoes and onions were tender with excellent seasoning. I could have made a breakfast of just those. Finally, if you haven't had a grilled muffin, you have to try it. Not toasted, cut in half and grilled on the flattop. It made the flavors pop! A good cup of coffee made a wonderful compliment. Alas, my breakfast was complete and I had to head to the airport. Upon my departure, the line was now out the door and this was a Friday morning. They said weekends are even busier. Then next time I'm in the Hartford area, I will be visiting my new friend Ken's place. It your ever in the area, and you are looking for something to satisfy the foodie in you, stop buy, arrive early, plan on waiting just a bit, and make a new friend! Thanks Ken!

    Do they take reservations?

    No. First come first serve and your whole party needs to be there

    Does this place get crazy packed on Sundays? I noticed they don't take reservations. Does the line go out the door? Does it move fast? Just trying to figure out what time would be best to get there :) thanks!

    Yes is busy right after it opens at 7 lines moves reasonably fast and worth the wait ! You won't be disappointed . Wait staff will not rush you through your meal either ! Service is also fast !

There's no Happy Hour here and the mixed drink menu has no prices.

We are trying the Nacho Platter made with tortilla chips, melted cheese, pinto beans, tomatoes, black olives, scallions, sour cream and fresh salsa. This is a big plate! These are really good! I am having the Thai Lettuce Wraps with chicken). You can also have panko fried avocado. It is also made with carrots, charred chickpea quinoa salad (red bee honey from Weston, CT), sesame noodles, cucumbers, bibb lettuce and crushed peanuts. They use a house made Thai peanut Asian ginger and orange ginger sauces. This is real good! It's light and easy to eat. For my last drink, I'm having the Peach Mint Whiskey made with Ole Whiskey Peach Whiskey, ginger beer, fresh mint, lime juice, agave nectar and a lime garnish. The mug is nice and cold. This is light and delicious! What a great time here!

However, this place is sneaky about prices. Firstly, They do not list prices on the menu, and after seeing my receipt, I understand why. If you want to add mixed berries to your waffle, they charge you $1.75 per type of berry. I ordered a black tea with a splash of milk, and they charged me the price of a tea latte. They also refuse to give tap water, and make you pay for bottled water- a practice that rubs me the wrong way. It cost nearly $50 for two people to eat breakfast here. Overall, the place isn't terrible, but is not transparent with prices.

I had the Berries Insanity fruit-topped waffle and the fruit was honestly the freshest I've ever had. My husband opted for the Gourmand waffle (a Bananas Foster vibe). He opted for a Liège waffle (chewy) and I went with the Brussels waffle (crispier) and both were amazing. Drinks are just as good, from coffee and espresso to tea, matcha, or juice. We also shared a Zinneken's breakfast meal and it was perfectly made. Everything was incrediblly delicious and made for such a great brunch. We can't wait to go back!

We had the sampler to start where every item was either fresh raw seafood or some clever seafood mix. The calamari salad has some great sauce with it and the trio of crudo has some wonderful fish.

All the sides worked so well together and it is one of the most well put together dishes I've had. I also tried the scallops. The ricotta gnocchi with the Marsala sauce is fantastic and the scallops are cooked perfectly as well.

I have been coming to max fish for some time now and between dinner drinks apps and dessert for 2-3 people you average $300 which is fine but recently the past two times I've come here the food just hasn't been as good as before making it not nearly worth almost a Car payment amount. The only item consistently delicious is the buffalo shrimp otherwise everything has been a hit or miss. I got oysters and they tasted a tad funky and I got the seafood pasta dish and it did not have much flavor besides the red pepper flakes, which I put in it. Otherwise it tasted very plain and bland and watery which was disappointing since I was excited for it and for $40. The dessert option brown butter cookie just tasted very bland as well seemed like the cookie packs I buy at the grocery store and make at home.
