Some customers note that the minimalistic décor feels a bit too simple for their taste, lacking any vibrant or unique touches that reflect the diner’s character. While the food quality is generally praised, a few reviews mention that the atmosphere can be too quiet for those looking for a more vibrant dining experience. A handful of diners have also expressed disappointment during peak hours when service can slow down due to the high volume of customers, leading to longer wait times. Additionally, while the menu offers a variety of options, some patrons desire more innovative selections or daily specials to keep it fresh.

Don't let this place 's size fool you - they have amazing food at amazing prices! The breakfast burrito was the best I've had in Phoenix and the country gravy was delicious too! Can't wait to come back!

Atmosphere is very minimal for decor, but nice. The music is soft and smooth, Leslie gives exceptional service she knew other customers by name even if it was only there second or third time in. Food was amazing I had the mozzarella sticks and a breakfast burger with fries my order came out perfect and to top it off a root beer float Chris in the kitchen is putting in awesome work. I will refer as many people as I can here and I cannot wait to return the environment is very quiet and a wonderful place to enjoy some amazing classic Dinner food. Thank you to everyone who works here under the owner Ken.

This is a great standard diner. Great eggs, pancakes, and bacon. Love the server. Love the coffee in a white mug. Just old-fashioned great coffee.

In a time where prices are going up & income is not, this gem in a hole is it! The Reuben sandwich with fries and coleslaw? Supreme. Delicious. My spouse didn't want to stop taking bites for a quick pick. Lol. I ordered the fried shrimp with fries and slaw. Shrimp is crispy, not over fried. Fries are crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Yum. And it was only $10.99. New owners. It's now Ken' Kitchen. Freshly made to order. The best kind of service. Thank you Ken's Kitchen!

Food was good, and excellent for the price. In a world where prices go up and your paychecks don't, Ken's Restaurant (used to be Brenda's) is a welcome place. Food and service were great!
