this is the best fried chicken you can get in the state of VA! the food here is always delicious, the staff is friendly the place is always clean
We never it inside but they have the best fried chicken in our area. Anytime we have company come in to stay for a few days we always pick up their fried chicken for one of the meals. Never disappoints. Their coleslaw is always good if you like the mayo based and although I don't eat them everyone always loves the rolls.
First time trying Kenney's and it was pretty decent. We order 2 burgers (basically regular burgers with some kind of sauce on them) and fries. The burgers were great had a sweet taste with sauce. The fries were just right, not over or under cooked, and the salt amount was just right. The staff were ok, nothing to report good or bad. The ambiance was great felt just like a mom and pap dinner. Only complaint was they could maintain the building better. But is clean and safe. Overall, very good and definitely worth a stop.
Incredible local establishment and hidden gem! An array of delicious food items offered. Order in and watch your order being made to order. Dine-in a very laid back atmosphere. Don't forget Kenney's for your next big gathering. Highly recommend the sauce cheeseburger and chicken!
Visited Kenney's while traveling from Washington D.C. to North Carolina. It was easy enough to get to off of 81 and equally as easy to get back to 81 after your meal. It was a Friday at lunchtime and there was almost a line out the door. The line moved relatively quickly. I'll say it is kinda hard to see the whole menu from the far right side of the counter where you place your order. The order process itself is quick and easy then grab a seat and wait for your order to be called. This is one of those places where they shout your whole order to the restaurant when it is ready so...just be aware. LOL I got a snack pak with mac and cheese and a hot dog with chili and mustard. The hot dog was pretty basic but good. Chili was slightly sweet and the bun was super soft. In the snack pack, I got a wing and a big thigh, mac and cheese, and a biscuit with honey. The mac and cheese was ok. This is runny mac and I prefer mac that holds its shape a bit more. Also, the side serving is pretty small. The biscuit is not what I'd typically call a biscuit but it was good especially with the provided honey. The meal so far would just be three stars but the fried chicken took this up a whole extra star. That's great fried chicken. Incredibly well-seasoned and SO crispy. I will definitely be getting Kenney's next time I'm passing through Lexington.
This is our dinner from this place and trust me when I say it's better then KFC because it's what we like to call "fast fine dining"
This old school southern chicken joint was excellent! Wonderful fresh fried chicken along with standard sides, and good sandwiches too. Definitely worth a stop, crispy and delicious.
I ain't from around these parts but when I was in town a friend said this is where we have to go. Authentic southern fried chicken. Don't be fooled by the sign that looks like the place has been abandoned, find your way to the top of the hill and enjoy!
This place is a local well kept secret. If you didn't know it was here you would never find it. The place isn't much to look at but it was full of locals ordering lunch. The prices are quit reasonable. This place is not fine dining, but the food is usually cooked fresh, so it is hot and has great flavor. It is fast food but don't go there in a hurry because you will wait for your food. It beats the hell out of any of the fast food chains and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you are passing through try the place, and if you are looking for a unique piece of history to eat at y look no further. Buy local cause you won't be sorry.
