Our table got a hamburger with fries, a kids meal (grilled cheese), Fried shrimp dinner and their special half or full rack of ribs and I chose a half. It came to $46 without tip included which was very good for the amount of food. The food was generally good, my son said his burger was excellent.

I believe in second chances. I gave Ten Penny 3…read more The first time was horrible, but they were slammed, so I gave grace. Very slow, inattentive service and sub-par food. My wings had chewy rubbery skin and just barely cooked. Fried pickles were lukewarm and breading was stale. Since they were busy, I opted for the self serve beer, but kept running into multiple empty kegs and getting charged for foam - requiring adjusting my tab. Second time. Not busy at all, but still took 20-minutes for our inattentive server to take our drink order. Took 15-minutes to get a beer and they never brought a menu. By then, I was absolutely not eating and ready to leave. Took another 30-minutes to get my check. My group stayed to drink and flirt with the server. Third time. Not busy, yet very slow (and unprofessional) service. I ordered a salad because I figured it's hard to mess up a salad. It was good. (Incidentally, I sampled one of my friend's wings to test whether my first experience was the norm or a really bad day. The wings were ok. Definitely had better but they weren't disgusting like my first trip.) Also had a beer. It took a very long time to get our order and the server rarely checked on the table (but they had time to shoot the breeze with coworkers). I tipped well-above what I felt they deserved because servers rely on tips; however, I cannot recommend this place. I get the sense that the owners are good people and the servers are friendly when you finally get to talk to them. I'd say they need more training. Not sure how long they've been around, but I'm amazed they're still in business.

I normally only do reviews for restaurants that do exceedingly well and those that fail to meet…read moreexpectations. My dinner tonight at Ten Penny tonight with family was one of those that failed to meet expectations. I should have heeded the feedback from my sister on the terrible experience that she had at Ten Penny a few months previously. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of choices in Leavenworth other than fast food or Mexican on a Sunday evening so I thought maybe Ten Penny had improved since my sister's poor experience. My family, 5 adults and two children, were seated just prior to 6:20 pm. There really wasn't that many other diners, the restaurant was half full at best. We ordered probably around 6:30 and waited, and waited, and waited for our food. Finally our server stopped at our table 45+ minutes later to let us know that they were out of French fries, of all things. What restaurant runs out of French fries? Isn't that a staple in American restaurants? The two kids meals were finally brought out with hash browns instead of fries. I really like the Pork Classic at Metropolitan Steakhouse here in Leavenworth so thought I would order the Ten Penny Twin Pork Cops, which is supposed to be center-cut and glazed smoky BBQ sauce. What I received, as can be seen in the pic was nothing like the menu description. Not center cut, no BBQ sauce. Simply thin, dry, grilled pork chops. I'll stick with the Metropolitan Pork Classic at Metropolitan Steakhouse. The server, Graham, was very apologetic, and overall was a solid server. I did get comped 50% off on the food, so there is that. Just not a good experience though. Nice atmosphere/ambiance, bright and inviting.

They have plenty of inside seating and a lovely deck for nicer weather. I did notice that the more the dinning area filled the louder it got. My hubs ordered the special and the $2 margarita. I got the herb chicken bacon pasta. The margarita was terrible! It tasted very watered down and lacking alcohol. He did not even finish it! The daily special sandwich was a beef brisket with slaw, jalapeños and Gouda cheese. He said it was very good however he could not taste the Gouda at all. The sandwich came with salt and pepper fries that are definitely a show stealer! They were a wide thin cut and seasoned perfectly. My pasta had a generous serving of herb chicken on top of Bucatini pasta in a creamy garlic sauce with spinach, bacon and cherry tomatoes. It was flavorful without being over garlicky. I would have liked if it was served with some bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Our server was attentive. Our food came out quickly. Overall it was a good experience though I would avoid the margarita special.

I'm not sure why everything was so bad. All the dishes were very bland and flavorless. I don't know how they've been open so long with such bad food. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen. The owner and staff were genuinely nice people. They were so kind and warm. The place was spotless. I hate to give these nice people a bad review but their terrible food earned it. If you're looking for something amazing like the NuWay in Wichita, this is NOT it.

They also have very big burgers and package everything separately for take out so that your vegetables do not get soggy. Although it still has a good old town, homestyle feel, it's very inviting and welcoming to young people as well. My husband and I went on a Sunday morning and the service was quick. It was very obvious that everyone from the owner to the cooks take pride in the food that they serve here and make sure that you leave happy and full. We got takeout burgers on Monday night. The wait wasn't too bad. The burgers are very big and the veggies were fresh. The onion rings and fries were average. I would rate this place second only to The Depot for breakfast in Leavenworth.
