So- maybe my opinion is biased. I work here! But- that being said, you'd be hard pressed to find better catfish. The tenderloins are fabulous! If you ever find yourself in plattsburg and you're hungry- do pop in and say hello!

Had a wonderful experince at Kennedy's Lounge. The Pork Loin was wonderful, beer is cold, the bar staff frendly, and enjoyed having a conversation with the owner! Thank you Kennedy's for making my wife and I feel at home.

The perfect Dive bar with the best burgers. Burgers, tenderlions are fresh made hand cut . Ranch is made in house. Always ask about any specials! The chef likes to sneak some signature items in from time to time.

I'm a grown adult that eats chicken fingers with ranch. It's THE BEST EVER. My husband says their other items are good as well! Always friendly staff and fast service.

Our first time of eating here and we were not disappointed in any of it. We had the tenderloin sandwich. Very delicious

What a find! The best bar food I've had for years! My perfectly cooked to order cheeseburger was so juicy and delicious. (so many thick hamburgers have all the juice squeezed out in a failing attempt to cook it faster) The onions rings were great! My friend love her hand cut and prepared pork tenderloin with really good seasoned crispy fries. I'd say you could go to 30 different similar establishments and not find better food! The service was a little slow, one young lady running the floor doing a fine job. The food seemed a long wait, but when I was served a perfectly cook burger, I understood and was grateful to a very conscientious and prideful chef!!!
