It’s large, and fairly busy, but the bar and wait staff were super friendly and there were not too many TVs.
I met up with a colleague to work on a project and while there was a buzz in the place, we had no problem hearing each other and getting out work done.
I was super hungry and they were having a fish and chips combo that was affordable and came with a cup of clam chowder, so I got that. Freaking amazing! The clam chowder was so delicious there was no need to add anything, which is unusual… The seasoning was on point. The fish was cooked perfectly and the breading was light. Fries are my kryptonite and I rarely eat them because it can be hard to stop if they are good. These fries were perfectly tender inside and slightly crispy outside, clearly hand cut. Perfection – definitely ate too many fries… Could not find my off switch.
I will definitely go back again when I’m in the area.
Well it popped up on my phone as a place for sustenance and I decided to rip away that invisible curtain and give the place a try. I’ve been craving burgers recently and The Kenton Station seemed promising.
I was wondering to myself why I had never stopped there before and I realized it has the local drinking hole kind of look. The kind of place that might be a little run down and full of folks sitting around who all know everyone else. It didn’t look all that welcoming to me.
I kind of hate ordering at the bar at restaurants. I resist sauntering up to a bar unless I’m wearing my shiny pearl handled six guns, my old beat up cowboy boots, and a tattered and tortured cowboy hat that has seen some stuff.
But let us address the meal itself, all can be forgiven if the burger fills my withered old heart, if it lifts me like a glorious sunrise rising above the trees.
Unfortunately it did not. The onion rings were ok, they had an odd taste that might be old oil or maybe the rings themselves might have come unaltered from a supply store. It was not a bad taste, but not great either.
The bacon burger tasted alright, but was chewy and a bit dry. Nothing to write home about unless you are writing to your mother to complain about the food. To be honest, it was one of the worst burgers I’ve had in a while.
Kenton itself is such an interesting little village. It looks like it wants to be better, but got caught on an old snag on the way up. And like the Kenton Station, it’s not living up to its own potential.
Because
O
My
God
My man Dub makes the best damn homemade BBQ sauce on this side of the Mississippi!
If you go, you will go back.
