Calamari was on par with expectations and the short rib ragu tagliatelle was great. I liked how balanced the savory and sweetness were between the short rib and the red sauce. Now that I see photos of their other dishes on Yelp, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Always great food, nice Happy Hour. $9 full fill wines, $4 drafts of Dos Equis. Service is always…read morespot on. It was a warm day, so we ordered some lighter dishes and they did not disappoint. The burrata spread was perfect. Creamy mozzarella, Peppery arugula on a lightly toasted bread, drizzled with oil and balsamic. The Bronzino was perfectly cooked on the grill, easy to debone and had an aromatic light flavor of herbs. Ask for the side of chimichurri sauce. It goes well on everything they prepare here. Nice neighborhood joint, so glad we live near here.

I'm man enough to admit that I was a little concerned about how the Kensington Pub crowd would…read morereact to a guy carrying a Jennifer Aniston mannequin. Those concerns were quickly put to rest. The couple behind us even asked to take a picture with Jennifer. This place is great. I think most of the action happens out back in "The Zoo," and it's an awesome outdoor space with something for everyone. Whether you're looking to grab a drink, hang out with friends, or just enjoy the atmosphere, Kensington Pub delivers. The cheesesteak is only $11 and comes with a pickle. You know I love that. Looking at the pictures, the cheesesteak may not have been the star of the Kensington Pub show, but it definitely held its own. The roll had a ton of flavor and was one of the highlights. The cheese was tucked underneath the meat, but it was perfectly melted and there was plenty of it. The onions could have used a little more time on the grill, but they still added good flavor. The meat was solid, and together it made for a very enjoyable cheesesteak. Kensington Pub gave us a fun atmosphere, a warm welcome for Jennifer, and a cheesesteak worth eating. That's a pretty good day in The Cheesesteak Life.

I met my daughter here for dinner before she left for vacation. Since she lives nearby and my…read moresister had mentioned the food wasn't bad, I looked over the menu and spotted the taco pizza. That was enough to get me in the door. When you first walk in, it looks like a neighborhood pub with a small bar and dining area. What I didn't realize was that there's an entire outdoor space hidden in the back! It's a huge patio with artificial grass, large screen TVs, plenty of seating, and a fun atmosphere for hanging out. They even have a large Kensington Pub display and, my favorite part, the front section of an actual Philadelphia trolley that you can climb into. It was such a cool touch and a great piece of Philly history. Their outdoor bathrooms were so clean and smells so good. This would be a fantastic place to watch a game. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded when we visited, so we were able to enjoy everything. Our server, Desiree, was friendly and attentive. The drinks were a mixed bag. I ordered a light Mike's Hard tea which tasted light!  My daughter started with a lemon drop martini, but it was very watered down, so she sent it back. She ordered a different blue cocktail instead and liked that one much better. I ordered the personal taco pizza. It was the perfect size, and the crust was good, but it didn't really taste like a taco pizza. I've had taco pizza that were packed with bold taco flavor, and this one was a little under seasoned for my taste. The meat was tender, though, and I ended up taking the leftovers home and adding a little extra seasoning. My daughter ordered the taco salad, which was good and served in a large crispy tortilla bowl. Like the pizza, it just didn't quite have that classic taco flavor we were expecting. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. Despite Kensington's reputation, this pub is a hidden gem. Parking can be a little challenging since it's in a residential area, but if you're nearby, it's definitely worth stopping in. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, especially since my daughter lives so close.

If I could give no stars, I would. My fiancé ordered with "Slice". He ordered The Eggplant…read moreRollatini. Rollatini is usually made rolled up with Ricotta Cjeese and Mozzeralla cheese in it. When the menu said Eggplant Rollatini- with Ricotta, we assume it would be the usual style he's gotten many times before. Instead he received very small, super skinny, dried up pieces of breaded eggplant. It came with a side and he picked a salad with French dressing. He got French fries. No salad. I called to complain and assumed my fiancé ordered through Grub Hub. So I told the person who answered the phone the complaint and he said "That's what Rollatini is hun". I said "no it's not, your own menu says "with Ricotta"! He said "well then call Grub Hub and get your refund". So we did just that. Slice refunded us our money for the dried up mini pancake pieces of eggplant he received.

Everything was overly greasy; the fries would've tasted so much better without all of that oil taste. The cheesesteak was also very greasy, soggy, and they do not use real cheez wiz.

Consistency: The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Lovely neighbourhood vibe. They still have their classic C&S tots, amongst many other staple C&S items they're known for. They have continued to have daily specials, don't forget to ask, if they don't. I ordered the C&S tots and the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. As always, very delicious! Stop by. I hope you love it here as much as I. Parking can be a challenge, since it is in a residential neighbourhood.

Noelle, our waitress, was friendly and helpful with the drink and food menu. She told us her faves and they did not disappoint. The cocktails were interesting and tasty. The apps were outstanding. We had the Wit fries, which consisted of shaved kielbasi over crispy fries with Cooper Sharp cheese sauce. The broccoli rabe and pepper fries were unexpectedly spicy but really full of flavor. The Italiano wings were fried to perfection with fried cherry peppers. Simply delish. The fig grilled cheese and soup combo was a hit as well. The ultimate sandwich, the Witowski, a shaved kielbasi cheesesteak hit all the right notes. They also have a brunch that starts at 8am on the weekend. We will definitely be going back to try more menu items.
