A hole in the wall from the street, but packed for a reason. Genuinely some of the best food I've had in the entirety of Texas. That shrimp poboy (as is - don't change a thing! And some Louisiana hot sauce? ??? Family owned and run, and significantly kinder than most professional servers. This is a must stop if you're in the area.

Initially, I had given TK’s a positive rating; however, as years have passed, the food quality has deteriorated. The food served does have fairly good flavor (usually), however, this is often overridden by the greasiness and heaviness of the food. This ranges from the plates to the pizza. Whenever I eat here, I often leave with a weird feeling in my stomach.

The past few times I have eaten here, my food has also tasted old or has been room temperature. The food also wasn’t consistent across the table; the french fries one person received were old, greasy, and soggy crinkle fries; the next person had fresher fries that were straight cut. Additionally, if you’d like to eat here, please make sure you’re not very hungry before choosing this establishment, as the wait times are long. Waiting for your food can take anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour. Appetizers take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. This is consistent as well, and happens both during rushes and during slower periods.

The environment isn’t appealing at all, though that’s fairly typical here in Karnes County. However, the restaurant is almost always dirty with crumbs all over the chairs and tables, straw wrappers on the floors, and flies everywhere. The general appearance is dated as well, and as another reviewer stated, the restaurant looks as if it’s falling apart (bit of a hyperbole here, and it’s mainly the exterior; however, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be mentioned).

Lastly, the service. The service is mediocre at best. There’s 2 servers, with one being a bit friendlier than the other, however I don’t blame the other server; it’s a stressful job, and not everyone is very social. Also, it would be nice to dine in and not have to hear about how wokeness is ruining media. I get this is a small town, but do better, most people dine in just to eat and head home, not to hear talking points parroted from right wing talk-show hosts.

Overall, this place hasn’t aged well. If you live here, you probably know the other available dine in options aren’t much better so just choose whatever you feel like eating. If you’re passing through, maybe wait to hit a bigger town like Beeville or Floresville, as you’ll get much better food there.

I love this place. I haven't had a bad item yet..... 07-12-24 I went back and I was completely angered when I got home with my food and the hush puppies I got were completely inedible. Rock hard and over cooked. They basically served me trash because I couldn't eat it. I thought I would never have a problem here.

First time at TK's and will not be the last. Waiter was friendly and attentive, food was hot, plentiful and delicious. I had the catfish & shrimp plate. The french fries were perfectly seasoned with salt and they were crispy on the outside and fluffy potato on the inside. The plate came with i believe 4 good size pieces of perfectly fried catfish and 4 or 6 pieces of fried shrimp and 3 golden hush puppies. Next time I'm certainly going to try the boudin balls. I recommend this place. My boyfriend has lived in Kenedy most of his life and until I moved here recently he had never tried it. I was happy to find a restaurant that is local that is not mexican cuisine (don't get me wrong, i love Mexican food) but having a place to go sit down at and enjoy something different is a real plus to this gal.

It took a lot longer than expected after called in an order. Picture is of fried mushrooms. These cost $9.61, not a lot of food for the price but the flavor was ok. Personally won't be ordering from here again.

This place is not great it's really run down and very uncomfortable. The menu is small and super pricey for small basic portions, ect 3 small catfish and crinkle fries with 2 hushpuppies for $15 it is not worth it. The service is great. The restroom area smells like a rat died recently. I would not recommend this place. There are better options in town or an hour from here is corpus christi with better seafood options.

Was visiting my dad and he was adamant about going to TK’s… so we did. I asked for a beer but they don’t have a liquor license so he said I could byob! So I fetched a couple from my truck and it complimented my meal nicely. I got the shrimp basket and the boudain balls… both were excellent! I regret not getting the catfish because I heard it’s pretty great as well. As I was closing out I heard about the pizza they sell… that has brisket on it! That sounds amazing! Either way, everyone was incredibly nice and everything was delicious. Definitely a gem in Kenedy.
