  Ken's was a game time decision, based on family recommendations that the food here was good.  I have to say, Ken's was a pleasant surprise!  At first, I was a little turned off by the cleanliness of the seating area (dead flies, some food scraps on the floor, etc), but once the food came out, this was forgiven.  
  
  I ordered a Buffalo Chicken cheesesteak, my wife had a regular cheesesteak, and my mother-in-law and son split a Pizzaburger sub.  The portions were huge and the food was truly incredible.  Even the order of fries we got was big!
  
  There wasn't a restroom (update:  it was hidden out back, outside the restaurant), so that was a downer, and my son picked up a piece of food scraps from the floor and ate it (which, along with the dead flies, shouldn't have been there), but otherwise things were very satisfying.  Considering the actual supply costs of soda fountain syrup, the nominal charges for refills was a little petty in my opinion, but hey - I'll counter by assuming they're using refill profits to save up for a broom  (and asking for honesty for $0.35 refills means they'll probably never make enough!)
  
  I recommend anyone who likes cheesesteak eat at Ken's!  No idea how the actual pizza is, but the subs were great!

  So I read the other reviews before coming here. Expecting bad service and good food. Well this place falls short in both aspects. We ordered a cheesteak pizza, we literally got a cheese pizza with what tasted like steakums thrown on top. Sauce tastes like canned spaghetti sauce and the marinara sauce that comes with the mozzarella sticks...came out ice cold. Do yourself a favor and drive into OC and go somewhere better.

  While the food is good, the service is awful. We were promised delivery of our food in one hour. 1.5 hours later, we called and were told our food would be going into the oven shortly. Delivery didn't happen until much later after that (and we are very closeby). We would have appreciated an up front approach when ordering about how long our food would take. Felt bad for the delivery person who apologized but it wasn't his fault!! May not be going back, unfortunately.

  Stopped in twice this past Memorial Day weekend, going with the Clams Casino pizza one day, and a Jerk Chicken Sub the other.
  
  Specialty pizzas can be a frightening prospect, especially in a situation that discourages gustatory experimentation, but the "clam and bacon cheese pie" (hmm, new name, perhaps?) from Ken's delivered. Not only did the toppings taste superb together, they were distributed ideally.
  
  I did not order any extra goodies for the Jerk sub, figuring that if the chicken were properly seasoned, stand-by items such as onions and peppers would be superfluous. How correct I was.
  
  Also, the fries are friggin' outstanding.

  Me and my family have been getting Kens for as long as I can remember. And it's still one of my favorites places to go. The pizza is the best around!! Make this your new place to go, you won't regret it.
