I got in after my bus trip & needed recharge so went here & overall okay & got what I could. Did a Southwest Chicken Sandwich with pepper jack cheese, red onion & chips & requested BBQ sauce but slightly forgot but still deeming (I can gather) few people were coming back into swing of things maybe understandable but little annoying thing was families not far from bar area which is slightly annoying. Service was good though fopah happened & did my chips with the sauce so no loss. Good but room to improve. read more

Charging $4.00 for iced tea and then $4.00 for a refill is ridiculous. Being served the tea, tasting it, not liking the taste, and returning it, then charged for it. Go someplace else. The menu states 3 pretzels for $10.95, and then only receiving two. Having the situation explained that they're bigger now that way you only get two. That's not honest. Do better. Remember "BE NICE OR LEAVE" good bye!!!!!!!! read more

Had to write a review simply because the bartender (Dean) was awful. What a grumpy bastard. When we sat down at the bar he ignored us for awhile. He Literally was yelling at one of the waiteress when she asked question about a customer complaining they got doubled billed. Felt so bad for the young lady. We had been here last October and had a good time. Watched college football had a few drinks and got an appetizer last year. This year we were there on a Sunday and the Pat's were on. This time we ordered two slices of pizza which were pretty good. I think we both would have ordered another slice but the bar tender was so grumpy we didn't want to deal with him again. I'd go back... but maybe not sit at the bar or hope Dean isn't working. Worth a try... as it right in the middle of the Church Market area. read more

The pizza does in fact taste just as good as it looks. 10/10 better than any other pizza in the area by a long shot. Service was incredibly good I highly recommend everyone come try it. read more

Ken's Pizza and Pub - Pizza Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

I've stopped in here several times over the past many years. Usually out of necessity as there are fewer and fewer pizza options downtown these days. Most recently, ordered a take-out pizza and was told by staff it would be OK to use their outside tables right off the side of the shop. The owner didn't like that, came out yelling at us in front of our 8-year-old. I guess there's a sign somewhere that says otherwise. Anyway, completely unhinged response. Staff was super embarrassed and I felt bad for them because then he started yelling at them for saying we could sit there. If he treats customers like that, can't imagine it would be a good place to work. Either way, I will never go back. Oh, and the food is not good. read more

Pizza is amazing!! Walked up to the side door (the take-out window) ordered my slice. Up to 3 toppings with your initial order, 50-cent for any toppings over the 3. I ordered pepperoni, sausage, and jalapeño and it was made quick. The crust on this pizza was superb, crunchy and tasty. No skimping on the toppings either, just a great tasting pizza. Service was to-go so pizza was made quick, it was hot from the oven. Just quick and great experience, with a tasty pizza slice. ***Flight Attendant approved*** read more

I ordered two shanandoah sandwiches - both on ciabatta rolls. One with extra onions. The other with a swap to cheddar, with bacon and no tomatoes. Hold the chips and give me an extra pickle. I had the guy repeat it back to me even. This is what I got: Ciabatta rolls yes, no extra onions, no cheese at all on the one with no tomatoes, two bags of chips and no extra pickle. What to heck guys?! I've been coming here for almost 46 years now and the service has never been this bad. read more

The food is pretty mid and will probably give you a stomach ache. But it doesn't taste bad. The price is outrageous for the crummy quality food and greasy pizza. Worst of all is that whatever manager or bartender is around is typically so rude and yelling at employees. There are much better places on church street to a bite and watch the game. read more

Had a good ambiance and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would be a great place to relax and enjoy the quiet off the Main Street very dark and cozy. We had nachos as an appetizer and I would say skip those they were just some tostino chips, melted cheese, and jar salsa I would say these nachos were on the lowered end of average. For lunch I split a buffalo chicken ceaser wrap and a Vermonster sandwich. I would recommend both of these! I would say the buffalo chicken wrap may have been better, it was a good balance of spicy and ceaser and the wrap was stuffed all the way to the end so you did not get those last few bites that were just wrap. I really liked the Vermonster it was juicy and flavorful and probably would have been better than the wrap had the apple on it been crispy, it was a little mealy which I guess makes sense it's not apple season but if it was, I would order this over the wrap. The rubeun was fine not great, a pretty average sandwich nothing special and same with the chicken parm sub. The buffalo chicken salad had great chicken on it but it may have heated the rest of the salad up because because it was kind of warm, which is not my favorite for a salad. read more

Great atmosphere Great service Salads Fresh Great central location Huge drink list and they have a lot of beers. We came between lunch and dinner, but this place looks like it'd be a lot of fun in the evening. They also have outdoor seating. Local favorite. Very reasonably priced. Bargain. read more

I ordered a BBQ Brisquet sandwich. Was hoping to get fries or onion rings as a side with the sandwich, but chips were the only option. Sandwich was bland and tasteless, with soggy onion rings inside it and meat that tasted so meh that I ended up throwing away the last half. Avoid eating here. read more

Yummy pizza , fast excellent service. Polite servers . On time food even when it was just me

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Arrived around 7:00pm and asked if my partner and I could have a seat outside. The waitress pointed to a group of people still eating and said they would be gone soon and to wait. After five minutes we were able to sit down (grabbed our own menus). About 10 minutes later, the waitress came and cleared off the old food and drinks from the previous customers, and came back to wipe down the table. She then took our order: poutine for a starter, French dip sandwich with an added side of fries for $8.00, and a chicken parm sub. Eventually the waitress comes back with a basket of fries, puts it in the table and leaves. No plates, no silverware or napkins, no salt or pepper or ketchup.... And we also didn't order fries for a starter. If the fries were part of the sandwich order, why would it come out BEFORE the appetizer? After realizing how incompetent the waitress and now the kitchen was, we decided to leave. Luckily, she was coming out with the poutine (another 10 minutes since the random basket of fries had been brought out) and I was able to explain why we were leaving. This is the third time I've tried Ken's, and I'm just getting tired of everyone dropping the ball. read more

Poor food at best. Server recommended the Chicken Parmesan sub but it's basically chicken tenders on bread with cheese. Also, the server was terrible: non-communicative and inattentive (had to ask multiple tones for a water refill). read more

We were told to check this place out by friends who used to live in the area. They were incredibly busy, but we were able to get a table outside pretty quickly. Since we were in Vermont, we decided to try the poutine, and it was delicious! I don't know how that dish works, but it does!! We just ordered sandwiches. I had the Southwest chicken sandwich. The chicken was good, but there was no spice, so it was a little bland. My husband got the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and said it was delicious! read more

Walked many blocks, so many restaurants that we passed either were "full" or not open, so we had to settle for Ken's. But we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. If I lived in the area and was looking for a fun sports bar to go watch the game with my friends, with decent food, I would probably comes to Ken's. A busy place, but the waitstaff took the time to clean tables thoroughly with disinfectant. 3*Greek salad: fresh and healthy. 3*Vege pizza: pretty solid pizza, the crust was nicely baked. read more

A solid pizza place in the heart of Burlington. We ordered a small cheese and meatball and this pizza was huge. It's definitely NY style and that's a good thing. Also ordered some salads with chicken on them and they were good. We chose to do takeout and as someone who owns a few businesses I want to say that the staff were great and the guys in the kitchen were having a blast. From the take out area you can partially see into the kitchen. Having staff that are having fun at work and still doing a great job says a lot about the establishment. We'll be back read more

In the four pizzas I had in Burlington, this would be a top 2 pizza. It reminded me of a college town pizza place, where they conveniently have a sit in area on the walking mall and a front entrance leading to a dining room, or around the corner a walk in take out area with some limited seating as well, Total hole in the wall where you pick up the take out, which reminded me of a taxi tv show set with a pickup window modeled after a plexiglass movie counter. Pizza was ready promptly and the staff was nice enough. Pizza had the perfect amount of sauce to cheese to grease ratio. Big slice pizza and even though the pizza was misshapen, it was very good to me and the flavor on the sauce was great. read more

People and food are sub par. They treat the customers awful and every place to sit is dirty and sticky.

If you're looking for something quick to eat this place would be a good spot. You can order a slice of pizza. The pizza is basic but at least they're a good size. The onion rings and cheese curds were fried perfectly. Service was good and the atmosphere was like an old diner read more

Went for lunch today, service was great BUT what I can only assume was the owner yelled at and about employees (2 different instances) within earshot of customers. All I can say is DO BETTER. He was completely unprofessional and distasteful. The employee he yelled at for taking two bites of her food (which she had put away and washed her hands- we were sitting right next to their station) left crying. It's a hot day, these waiters/waitresses are working hard running tables and food inside and out. read more

Visiting Burlington for the day and needed a place to eat on Church Street. Ken's seemed to be packed by the look of a full outdoor seating area in the front, but the hostess told us we could be seated outside on the side and the back!! Lots of shade and the service was so fast. Our food came within 15 minutes. It was a very hot day and I just kept on getting served room temperature water, I was desperate for some ice. The sandwich was exactly what I needed, it was light but filled me up perfectly. read more

Not good at all. Everything tasted old, not fresh at all. Was our only mistake while visiting Burlington.

The pizza flavor was OK, not my favorite. The crust was perfect in fact if my favorite pizza place back home could produce a crust this good I would give them a perfect 10! The flavor was off but the crust was awesome so it's a 6.5 for me. My wife loved her Caesar Salad so don't pass this place up because pizza is not the only thing on the menu and the service was great! read more

Awful! First and foremost I paid $89.00 for takeout 2 pizzas and 3 salads!! Way overpriced for crappy food! The "specialty " Aloha pizza had bare minimum toppings, I couldn't even visualize the canned pineapple. Our pepperoni pizza was a sad sight. Unevenly sliced with huge slices and tiny slices The Caesar salads and Cobb salad were fair. I think this restaurant needs to take some pride in its products, if pizza is your craft then you need to do better. Very disappointed! read more

Went here for lunchner (lunch/dinner) with my parents during our Vermont Vacation, and visit to The Church Street Marketplace on August 27th 2023. We sat in the tiki bar behind the restaurant with the high tables and island atmosphere. A server greeted us right away, and she was very nice. For drinks, we got waters, i got a pina colada, my dad also got the pina colada, and my mom got the chunky monkey, which was a banana drink. All of our drinks were very refreshing and delicious! highly recommend! for appetizers, we got pretyls, and a spinach dip. both were good and enjoyable. For our entrees, I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, my dad ordered a rueben, and my mom ordered some other sandwich. even the sandwiches were pretty good! We enjoyed our meals. Waitress was also great at checking on us to make sure the food was good. We paid with a credit card, and left a cash tip. Before we headed on our way, we used the bathrooms inside, which were very clean. Don't think we'd be in Vermont anytime again, but this is a must stop if we are! read more

We decided to try this restaurant out when we went to Burlington for a weekend. Everyone was following the Covid-19 guidelines and server was wearing a mask. We decided to sit outside. We ordered Garlic Bread Sticks, Chicken Parm with Spaghetti and Eggplant parm with Spaghetti. I believe parm with both the spaghetti was very less and we had to order more. But the best thing was the garlic breads. They were fresh and very crispy. read more

Wow. Awesome staff, super friendly and welcoming. Our server was friendly, funny and accommodating. The pizza was incredible as well.

Ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and sausage for take out. The take out window is on the side of the main entrance. The cashier must have not heard me correctly because I received yellow peppers instead of pepperoni. Surprisingly the combination actually tasted pretty good. The pizza itself was delicious. This restaurant is always packed and does not offer take out when they are too busy. I am giving it 4 stars only because when I returned to pick up my pizza there was a different cashier at the window and insisted they didn't have my order. After a lengthy discussion and showing my receipt and waiting another 15 minutes they gave me another customers pizza. It was a good thing I checked before leaving as the other customer was waiting there. All in all I would try it again and hope it goes smoother next time read more

The taco grande ground beef was good, I feel like I had to try it. The pasta penne I ordered was good but the pasta was very soft. My husband enjoyed his French dip sandwich. The beers were good too.
