“ This is a great place on Capitol Hill if you're looking for a solid barbecue. The ribs are by far the best item on the menu and the beans are very tasty. ”
“ Very comfortable outdoor seating area, which was perfect for me and a few of my friends. The food was incredibly tasty! It was also served in a timely manner. We will be coming back again for sure. I highly recommend the brisket platter with onions rings! ”
“ Couldn't decide what I wanted so ordered a little of everything. Ribs are great but was bummed they were out of rib tips, decent greens and mac'n cheese, loved the fried trout, and great customer service. All in all a great BBQ spot right near H Street so I'm happy and can't wait to go back. ... ”
“ The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. Especially, the grape vine planted on the terrace is beautiful. The lunch sitting on the patio is fantastic. ”
“ Despite the heat and the social-distancing, our family had a very enjoyable time! The pork ribs and coleslaw combination is a must but they do have a wide variety of other sides. The service was phenomenal and we would definitely visit again! ”
“ Kenny's is easily now one of my favorite joints in the city! It's a family owned and operated establishment, they put tons of thought and care into how they run their business. They have this spicy bbq sauce they got in from Texas that is just fantastic. I went with a buddy and we both had a platter of food that could've easily fed ten people haha ribs, pulled pork, fried fish, baked beans, mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread, slaw, french fries, and onion rings. Literally everything was mouth watering delicious. Ribs fell off the bone, there pulled pork was tender and juicy, the fish was flavorful and had a nice crispy fried coating. The owner that we meet, Summer, is definitely one of those businesswoman who could be doing anything and would be killer successful at it bc she clearly has a vision for how she runs her business, and we're glad this place has her behind the helm. Their fried fish is second only to Oohhs and Aahhs, in my opinion, and their ribs rival DCity Smokehouse. I'll be coming back for sure, and it's great that they've made all the precautions for social distancing to safely enjoy the foodie experience. five stars! ”
“ Go Eat Here! I was visiting DC for a trip and really wanted BBQ & came across this place. They have indoor and outdoor seating! My food was amazing. I would suggest the Kenny’s Small Family Meal which can be split among many people. The best thing is that there food is so tender and well seasoned! Let’s not forget the Carolina Sauce!!!! It’s to die for!!! Thank you for making this a great experience. ”
“ Stumbled upon this spot walking through the area and so glad we did! Brisket was amazing. Great bbq sauces and coleslaw too. ”
