Kennedy’s Cove

We have lived in the Clarence area for over 24 years and had never been to Kennedy’s Cove for dinner. We gave it a try this last Sat. night (2÷20÷2016) and will wait another 24 years to go back! For our family of four, our meal was over $ 400 — AND it was just ok food. We all agreed the steaks were not tender and juicy at all. The seafood bisque was bland. The clams casino were average. The key lime pie was frozen. The martini was swimming in vermouth. All of that on top of being jammed into our table like sardines. My daughter had to get out of her chair on the opposite side of the table since the next table was so close it had her blocked in. We will not be back.

You can’t go wrong with any scallop dishes they have. I ordered the stuffed scallops and bacon BBQ scallops and they were delicious! Others in my party had the filet mignon which was excellent. There is a lack of salt though to their side dishes and fish fry but can easily be fixed by adding your own. We also got to sit right next to the fish tank which was nice. The staff are incredibly friendly and if we are out this way again we will be sure to stop in.

Kennedy’s Cove is Awesome. Was taken there last night by my girlfriend for my belated birthday dinner. I had the 8oz Filet blackened and it was «Heaven on a Plate». The twice baked potato with cheese and bacon was also fantastic. The service was excellent. In my opinion it’s the best place in Western New York for Steak.

Their burger is unbelievable, and Dave and Nadine make you feel like you’re right at home and make sure that you’re comfortable. I’d recommend Kennedy’s seasoning as well because it adds a nice flavor to the meat.

Oh yes, Momma likes her steak.
So, you’re tired of hearing about it but I moved back to Buffalo from Seattle, having lived in the Seattle area for almost 8 years. Something I loved about Seattle was that you could go to the fanciest restaurant wearing jeans and no one would look down on you. That area has so many rich people on the spectrum that no one thinks twice about how you dress, if you got the cash you got the cash. I digress…
My husband hates to get dressed up. I love steak. How do you get a decent steak and not have to get dressed up in Buffalo? You go to Kennedy’s Cove. It’s kinda a funny place. It totally reminds me of a dive, very 70’s décor inside. But then you look at the menu and it’s a little pricey for Buffalo. $ 35 for a 8oz filet is a decent deal, not outrageous and it tastes good. It came with a salad and a baked potato, really not bad at all for $ 35.
Full bar, good beer selection. Okay wine selection. They have a bunch of «homemade» desserts. We had some peanut butter pie, it was meh and not something I’d get again. The steak was not the best filet I’ve ever had but worth the price and I’d come back here for it. We were very pleased with our meal overall and the service was excellent. So look past the décor on this one, this place is pretty good!

This is the most solid 4 stars I’ve ever given to a place and the only reasons it doesn’t get the 5 stars is because:
1) Restrooms were not clean and about the size of one found on a small airplane!
2) For the price — I expect the place to be in very good condition — and it wasn’t!
However, put aside the small and perhaps less then clean bathrooms and the inside needing some lovin — the staff were ALL amazing and friendly, the selection was great, specials sounding fantastic, but I had the 20 oz rib eye and my wife had the ground filet burger!
Can I say — OMG — probably shouldn’t it’s so immature, but hey — I’m a kid at heart. My steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the blackened rub they put on it was incredible. My wife couldn’t even eat half of her burger so I had to rescue the rest and put it in a good place — MY STOMACH!
I’ve been to some fancy places in my travels, but this might have been the best rib eye I’ve ever had and the burger just might be the best burger I’ve ever eaten! What’s even more amazing is the sides that came with it.
The seafood bisque was incredibly tasty, the fresh cut steak fries were the best I’ve ever had and that garlic bread — who does it like that — delicious. And then — the cantaloupe too — come on — it was just «spot on».
I read some other reviews about this place and all but one made the place sound great — I hope you look past the restroom and interior design and give this place a try. They now accept credit cards too and I really don’t think you will find a better meal anywhere.
I feel lucky that our doctor recommended not just the place, but helped us with our selections. However, he made no mention of the super fantastic sugar filled desert we shared. It was perhaps one of the best pieces of peanut butter pie I’ve had.
So — next Tuesday when we return to the area — we will be going back — this time to try a couple other things — especially the amazing carrot cake we’ve heard about now.
This is should be a must «go to» place if you are any where near!
