If you’re in Beacon and not stopping at Kennedy’s Chicken, you’re doing it wrong.
The chicken is crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and hits every single time—no misses. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food comes out hot and fast. Whether it’s late night, post-hike, post-bar, or just a straight-up craving, Kennedy’s always delivers.
Fries?
Sauce?
Chicken? Elite.
The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly knows what they’re doing. This is comfort food done right—simple, satisfying, and consistently delicious.
Beacon has plenty of spots, but when you want something that never disappoints, this is it.
I’ll be back again and again. Highly recommend.

Found a Feather in My Chicken Completely Unacceptable
I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Kennedy Fried Chicken. While eating my meal, I discovered a feather still attached to the chicken. This is absolutely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about cleanliness, food safety, and proper preparation.
Not only did it ruin my meal, but it also made me question the hygiene standards in this establishment. I expect restaurants to thoroughly clean and inspect their food before serving it to customers. This level of negligence is disturbing and needs to be addressed immediately.
I hope the management takes this seriously and improves their quality control. Until then, I won’t be returning and I caution others to check their food carefully if they choose to eat here.

From the south I need a good fried chicken joint, this is the closest I can get. I enjoy it to a point, fried chicken is a little salty and could use some more seasoning (you can add that after the fry FYI wait for the fry to be almost dry) and the mac n cheese needs more flavor (seasoning or some bread crumbs). But I can tell you you wont find anything else like this around the area (not saying much). I’ve had no issues with service though, confirmed.
Also, the side of mac didn’t fill the container it was in, which would be a travesty if your ordered in the south. Edit: the chicken is over fried, small pieces and over cooked. If you are from the north and you think this is normal fried chicken, you are wrong.

I love this place. the food is consistently good (really good) and the staff is very hospitable. I recently ordered on door dash and there as a glitch in the chain and I received something I could not eat (due to allergy) and when ai reordered, Kennedy’s was so gracious at replacing the item. I really appreciated the way they handled it.This is one of my favorite chicken and burger places — I know the meat is good and omg, the hot wings. I highly recommend A++++++

I have eaten here for years. The food is good, simple and inexpensive.
They serve a Meat Patty, that is just great. It is just a bit spicy, but not overly hot. This is a nice snack to tide you over until dinner. Today I had a Cheese Burger and Fries. The Fries were freshly made, and hot on the plate. It came with a drink (Soda) , which was nice. The owner is always very welcoming to me, each time I walk in, He will say “How are you my fiend, I have not seen you in a while”
Here they are a Cash Only establishment, and there is no public restroom.
They are located on 392 Main street in Beacon NY, 12508.

Always delicious. One of the finest eating establishments in the area. Gourmet hamburgers and chicken breasts so delicious there aren’t words to describe the delicious taste. And don’t forget to order mac n cheese, you won’t believe mac n cheese could taste so good. I haven’t eaten there food sober yet though so I’m not sure if I’d say the same.

Ive been going to this place for years and always enjoyed it until recently. Whoever reads this, when you go inside and order your food, pay close attention to the guy making and handling your food. I promise you he doesn’t use gloves at all. And if you go there on a late night he will be on his phone and then try to make your food without using any gloves. Go there today and I bet you they touch your food and exchange money with the same gloveless hands. I kindly asked the guy if can use gloves and he replied do you want the food or not. I declined and walked out.

I don’t have much to say other then this food is not good. Just ate it and I feel like I’m about to get food poisoning. Fries taste like cardboard and the chicken has no flavor. Threw half of it out. They do give big portions for the price which is a plus, but in my case it was just like getting a larger amount of bad food. Not enjoyable
