Kennedy's Restaurant

The best thing about Kennedy's is the view, as it looks out on a wide beach, the Breezy Point dock, and Jamaica Bay. The food is good, average for the price point. There is a nice selection of entrees, so there should be something for everyone.\r I have been going to Kennedy's for many years, and my last visit was a disappointment. The spinach salad and striped bass were delicious, as was the risotto. The service was terrible - the waitress did not check back with us or refill water or iced tea; she dropped a dessert menu on the table without a word and then disappeared. After 10 minutes, I flagged down the hostess and asked for the check. Not sure I'll return soon! more

This restaurant compares with any other top notch place. Its water views are stunning. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food never disappoints. \r The French Dip for lunch is devine.\r The lamb, the prime rib...delicious!\r Love the spinach salad....\r Give it a try...\r Pros: ambiance, good food, friendly staff more

My boyfriend and I met up with his friends for dinner at Kennedy's. I was raised in NY and just the place's name tells me what I was in for; white, middle class, pub food and a wine list with most of the better wines out of stock due to not many customers ordering them by the glass so the establishment is not replenishing their stock too frequently. I could have had steak, fish, pasta, lamb chops or grilled chicken. I decided to be adventurous and try the chicken in a pastry puff. LOL! Yeah, it was just a heavy HotPocket with a side of nine greenbeans and a baked potatoe. For an app, I had the BBQ pulled pork wontons. It was a spoonful of shredded pork on top of a crispy, flattened wonton wrapper, then another, and another wonton. It was good, but I should have just ordered the appetizer. The dessert was pound cake with strawberries, who could screw that up? Well, the pound cake tasted like gingerbread, my companions kept inquiring about the taste after trying a forkful. I told them it's ginger. They didn't believe it and kept asking what the flavor was in the cake. Asking everyone at the table except the waitress. Ugh. This place gets away with this because Breezy Point is not really open to the Public. Get my drift? Popular with the over 50 crowd whose matriarchs are happy not to have to cook dinner for the family that evening. Pros: Friendly Service Cons: Food's not so great. more
