I think it is a solid 4. It is good, not great. Wife had a grinder, which she enjoyed and I had penne with meatballs. Mine was good and her's was good. Nothing special, but nothing bad. Service was also fine. The bar is small, but it has some character. However, there is a lingering hint, just a hint, of cigarette smoke and stale beer. I found that strange, as I am sure it has been years since someone has smoked in there. I don't know that I would go back, but it is definately OK to grab a meal there. Might be fun to watch a game there as they have lots of TVs, but I bet it gets packed quick.

It was absolute delicious food that they served us and I would be happy to come again. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. The service was fine but I have seen better.

Loved this little hole-in-the-wall. The pizza was excellent and the bartender was attentive and friendly.

We were looking for a quick meal and to get out of the cold for a bit. Had a medium pizza, meatball sub, fries and a garden salad. Food was alright. It was plentiful but not tasty. With tip, it was about $65. Our server, Rob, was nice and very attentive. Atmosphere was good, small place but cozy...nice vibe.

Ken’s Pizza is an experience in small proportions. If you come as a group of four, be ready for instant closeness — the tables are tiny, the water glasses are tiny, and somehow everything around you feels… miniature. It’s intimate. Very intimate. Now, the pizza. It’s impressively greasy. The kind of greasy where the oil confidently drips down the slice like it owns the place. My friendly advice: stop by a pharmacy first, buy some Tums, and maybe take a couple before you order. Future you will be grateful. That said, the waitress was super nice and genuinely friendly, which honestly made the whole experience better. Come with a sense of humor, and a cooperative stomach 🍕😄

I visited the restaurant yesterday afternoon. The service, atmosphere everything was good. Friendly staff. I ordered lasagna, pizza, and chicken tenders. Lasagna and pizza were good. Ever since me and my friend had the chicken we both had stomach upset and we both puked on our way back. I don’t know what was the issue with the chicken but please be careful while serving customers, as now we both have food poisoning.

This is a good bar, you should go. However, I had a comically bad experience this particular visit. Joined my party at the bar. Watched the bar staff serve other customers for a couple of laps, judging my place in line. Eventually it became clear they weren’t going to catch my eye, so I gave a small wave. I’m aware bartenders can see you, and I’m aware particularly arrogant bartenders take offense to the smallest gesture. I felt like I’d waited an appropriately deferent amount of time. Like clockwork, the bartender chewed me out, claiming he’d been working all day and was off and I should flag down someone else. His colleague quickly stepped in and took my order. Original jerk guy thought better of his outburst, made a sincerely friendly gesture, and later tried to comp our round - but didn’t actually do anything to comp the round, either speaking to his colleague or updating our tab. He continued to work the bar the entire time we were there. Obviously we paid anyway so we didn’t screw his colleague or make another scene. I’m sure with some careful research I could deduce he’s the manager or owner or something. All to say, job #1 for a bartender, never let your customers go thirsty. And try not to be a jerk on Christmas.

Easily my favorite restaurant in Burlington. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the service has been top notch every time I’ve visited.
I highly recommend getting the fried garlic cheese curds, they’re absolutely delicious

Went to get pizza at 945pm on a Saturday night and they were closed. While looking at the hours of operation a staff member signaled closed. should probably update hours of operation.

Seen people say the food is shit but if you try the stuffed shells you’d understand. Also Burlington needs a normal local pub. Not everything needs to be pretentious
First time in Vermont found the church at market and came across Ken’s
We ate outside and the food was good.
I would definitely go there again.

Chicken taco came with grilled short cuts Perdue chicken strips from a bag, and pasta came with Texas toast. Food was absolutely gross you could literally make it in a microwave at home. Highly do not recommend
