Services
Originally named the Circle K Steak Ranch and themed with western flair, this little steakhouse offered good food and drink paired with friendly customer service at modest prices. As the years passed the menu expanded and private party rooms were added to accommodate groups from 20 to 70 people. Today catering services are also offered to our valued customers.
Served with celery sticks, Ranch dressing, and sour cream. Crispy fried potato skins loaded with cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, bacon, and scallions. Served with sour cream. Chef's special recipe bisque, slow-simmered with lobster and shrimp stock, sherry, and cream. A fresh wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with diced tomato, red onion, bacon, and hard boiled egg.
Originally, our bar had eleven seats and was mainly a waiting area on busy evenings. Renovated in 2008, the horseshoe-shaped bar now seats 22, plus 5 high-top tables, and offers the westside a place to enjoy the evening sharing beverages, food, and fun! Our friendly staff will make you feel welcome and comfortable in our "Cheers" environment.
No matter the event: Wedding Rehearsal Dinners, Birthday & Anniversary Parties, Company Picnics, Golf & Bowling Banquets, Bridal & Baby Showers. Day or Night, Any Occasion - We will make it Special. Our Party Room is available day or night, seven days a week. It will accommodate from twenty to sixty people and we are flexible in assisting with the planning of various functions.

This place isn't for everyone. If you are the type looking for locally sourced menu items (farm to table), that's not Kennings. If you want to support a local business where the employees work hard to give you a great meal and positive experience, then this is it. It's loaded with history and definitely unique to the West Side of Cincinnati. But there are a few things that make it pretty special.
Their prime rib is one of their most popular dishes and it's really terrific. They are also known for their ribs. I would suggest sticking to the 'meat and potatoes' type entrees on the menu - the classics

Oh my goodness took my mother for her 62nd birthday she got a full rack of ribs, I got the chicken and prime rib, my wife got the pork chop. I personally took a bite of each piece of meat each one was equally as amazing but the ribs... the ribs... were amazing !!!!! I cannot believe that I can call myself a westsider and it's taking me so long to come to this restaurant I cannot wait to come back and I regret that I've waited so long.
Also the service was phenomenal I usually don't leave reviews like this but the service was TRULEY phenomenal even after sitting down and looking around to the other

A friend of ours said the place had great food, obviously they have never ordered the prime rib. Very bland. My wife and I both agreed that it was a bad choice. I asked for a baked potato as one of my sides, server asked if I wanted it loaded. I told her no, that just butter and sour cream would be fine. Then she said that they also had twice baked potatoes, that sounded good so I said yes. She failed to mention that there would be a $2.49 upcharge. It was also a bad choice because it was loaded with pieces of onion. The upcharge was pocket change, it's the two time upsell that irked

Came from out of state on vacation and needed a place that was open late and didn't break the bank. Was more than happy after we left. Food was good, but what made the experience was the waitstaff. Normally I am one to just get my food and talk to our server when need be, but we all found ourselves just casually talking with her by the end of our meal. Made us feel like we were just over for a family meal. Really warm and welcoming environment. Will definitely be back if ever in the area.

My husband & l had dinner there where is so far from the end of east side where we live. However, we were satisfied the food that we ordered the 10 oz rib eye steak. They served the fresh spinach salad with mesh potatoes. The steak was very tender & great taste. It seemed very popular neighbor restaurant that when we visited at around 5:00pm on Saturday, already no seats.

Not as expected! The lobster bisque had not a single thread of lobster. The flavor was good, but way to thin for bisque. They should call it lobster broth.
The hot slaw was shredded so finely, and served so hot that the cabbage was actually cooked.
The chicken cordon bleu was ok but the accompanying mashed potatoes were instant and drowned in a bad dark brown canned gravy.

Delicious food and some of the friendliest staff in town. My boyfriend and I decided to eat there for our anniversary dinner and attempted to call ahead for a reservation (it was a Friday night). The person on the phone said we should be fine for 2 people at 6 and there was no need to make a reservation. We arrived at 6 to a packed house!! (Shows how popular this place is). They didn't have a table for us so we had to wait around 30 minutes for one to open up. The food was great as always but that would be my only thing- if you allow reservations, take them down even if it isn't predicted

This place was ok. The way the tables are decked out, it looks like the places is trying to be fancy. It's not. The food is just average, but they have a good variety of things. Prices are above average for the quality and taste of the food. Our waitress was very slow and repeatedly brought me the wrong drink, and the place was not busy. I understand mistakes can be made and I am forgiving for that but as empty as the place was, the service was way too slow. I haven't tried a lot on the menu so there may be some things that are fantastic, I hear the ribs are great. But from my experience

They have good ribs, however if you're going to order carry out - you need to not leave this restaurant until you are handed extra containers of BBQ sauce. Do not just ask for extra and assume you'll get it - We have been ordering from here for years and always leaving with $100+ orders and they are highly stingy on the bbq sauce. The ribs are served with little to no sauce and you're given about equivalent to 2 ketchup packets worth.

We had a great Easter dinner at Kinnings! Had a reservation for a group and all was ready on time with no waiting. Ribs and Steaks were fantastic. Can't wait to head back for the prime rib as it looked great too. Great service and food made our evening out memorable. Highly recommended family dinner destination!

I had to drag my wife to a Kennings as she has never heard of the place. (Not from the westside)
I had the craving for some Prime Rib. Kennings did not disappoint. Very rare and tender..delicious. I had the hot slaw as my side and wanted more.
It's fare to say we were the youngest in the crowd, however the bud light was cold and service was great.. that's all the mattered to me.
If your looking for something different from the normal westside chain with good old home style food, give them a try.

I'm so glad to be writing this review. I've never been to Bridgetown before and I live on the West Side! It was a neat little place reminiscent of a "Hall" but the staff were super sweet and super honest about what they thought was good and not so good on the menu. I had a Hot Brown on Texas toast after a few of my local friend recommended it. Its the first time I've ever seen it on a menu and honestly it was just a turkey sandwich covered in cheese? I think I want to try it on the mash potatoes next time. With that said it was still pretty good. We also tried the half

Yes, this place is a little outdated. Yes, we're way under age to be eating there. We don't love hot slaw or manhattens. But, I love the food. It's just really delicious, homemade and you can tell that the owner cares (which is rare!)
My husband and I eat at trendy restaurants but we really love coming to Kennings to just get simple, non-pretentious food. Kennings delivers just that.
A must eat - Their scallops are amazing!
And, call me old school, but I love the addition of the long hard breadsticks at each table. Kind of a throw back to the 70's - i like it.
