No one within 20 miles of this local must does seafood better. Save room too for tasty spicy bloody.

I had the fried clam dinner. It was loaded with so many clams, I couldn't eat them all. I couldn't decide between the puffy batter or the crumb batter, so they did it 1/2 and 1/2. I was grateful now I know I prefer their crumb battered clams. The woman taking my order was helpful and friendly. I'll definitely recommend them and will be going back.

Came here with my husbands grandparents and immediately fell in love. It’s my first time visiting the east coast and it reminded me so much of a place we used to go to on the Oregon coast when I was a kid. Loved it! Also had my first lobster that was absolutely amazing! Tried some of my husbands clam strips as well and the weather coast clam strips don’t even compare! Would totally come back if I’m ever in the area again!

Scallops were way overdone. Clamcake were overcooked also. I have always love Ken's Place so I will try it again.

Great place to eat if you like Seafood. Although it is more of a tourist place than a regular place to it. The atmosphere and location still make it a great place to go with family. The only downside is it is usually quite busy and parking is a bit hard to find sometimes.

Consistently good. I have no complaints. As locals,we take out here frequently and bring out of town guests here for fried clams and lobster. Can't beat it!
Stopped by this place for a quick lunch stop during a roadtrip. The food was excellent, and the service was swift. Overall a really nice place to eat wether inside or out!

I have been coming for 20+ years and it has always been a staple of our trip! There are always so many people, but the extremely fast service and great food makes you not even notice! Try the Clam Strips, Lobster Roll, or Lobster Stew!!

Well it's been almost 10 years now. I finally got up the courage to try Ken's place again. But I didn't want to go inside, so I sent in the wife. She ordered a large order of clam strips. This is how it went: $30 later she came out with a modest portion enough to satisfy 1 person. The clam pieces had a thick coating that looked and tasted like pancake batter. It was ok but not really to my liking. At least they didn't taste like river mud. Quite oily though. The clams themselves were quite mushy, I don't know how this would be. They should have had more body and chew to them. All in all, certainly not worth $30. A fair price would have been $14 for a portion of this size. In conclusion, for me, not worth the trip, time or money. But Ken's is a very popular place for the elderly and geriatric crowd. So I guess the old one's need a dietary oil change before they check out. Good luck to all.

I was there yesterday at Ken with my family, Ambiance B+ Parking A Customer Service A+ Price Affordable /Cleanliness A Food Quality B Combo Fried Shrimp and Scallops A- (Shrimp too small) Clam chowder not fresh seems like it was made several days ago and was microwaved - tons of heavy cream and potatoes few traces of clams. Fish Chowder not fresh (lots of heavy cream and potatoes no fish) Service Dogs only allowed - I could not bring in my pet cockapoo in the restaurant. It was raining heavy - Had to order the food, and take it back to my car in the pouring rain. One single men bathroom in restaurant, they they are signs for outhouse men/ladies rooms
