Ken's Diner - Skokie

Karen and Dan are incredibly kind and knowledgeable about their food! They are a genuine couple, and the dishes were delicious—even without dairy! We will definitely return! -Tiffany and Orlando

Wish I could give more than five stars. Just want to start by saying that everyone genuinely treats you like family from the first time that you come in. Besides being my favorite kosher restaurant, as someone who grew up not keeping kosher, this is one of the only places that not only competes with, but easily beats non-kosher competitors. The burgers are next level. The pastrami is next level. Honestly pretty much everything I've had here is phenomenal.

Family friendly delicious dinner. Danny and his wife were very

I must point out that I was re-introduced to Ken's Diner Grill within Facebook group (Vegan Chicago) where Ken's Diner shared a post stating that it will be open on the 4th of July, offering you mouthwatering Vegan hamburgers and hotdogs. I thought to myself, offering mouthwatering Vegan hamburgers and hotdogs? Mmm, now you are speaking my language. And it was then I made plans to make the drive to Skokie on the 4th of July, Independence Day. Ken's Diner Grill itself sits along Dempster St nearby several restaurants that I am familiar with, with one being the neighboring Monkey King Jianbing which I admit I have visited a handful of times for jianbing, tehehe. Even though the parking lot is shared with other businesses, there are a decent number of parking spots available with some in parallel parking design directly outside the storefront. I was acknowledged shortly after I walked in and up to the counter to look at the menu. After confirming their plant-based items, I ended up ordering the jumbo vegan hot dog, french fries, and a canned soda which was completed within a reasonable timeframe. Service: 5 (Great) I opted out of dine-in and chose to take my order to go. Nothing wrong with the atmosphere of Ken's Diner Grill, I just had other errands I needed to complete, even with-it being a holiday. Moreover, the restaurant appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a sporty, yet classy diner vibe. There are a number of tables and seats available inside of the dining area. And I must say that I adored the vintage photos plastered along the booths, and vintage decorations in the dining area which took me by surprise. Atmosphere: 5 (Great) Garnished with everything but hot peppers, I enjoyed the satisfying taste of the jumbo vegan hot dog once I had gotten settled in for the evening. It was most definitely mouthwatering as advertised in the Facebook post shared by Ken's Diner. And the fries were far from a disappointment. Food: 5 (Great) Being that I had a good experience, I would gladly re-visit Ken's Diner Grill again whenever in the Skokie area. Or maybe I will just make the drive for either one of their mouthwatering vegan hamburgers or hotdogs, tehehe. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Food: 5 Recommendations: cabbage soup, impossible mushroom avocado burger, veggie burger, impossible burger, grilled cheese, quesadilla with veggie meat, steak fries, curly fries, vegan hot dog, or vegan chili dog.

Ken's is the best kosher place might be the best restaurant it is my favorite place in the world. They're now making other foods such as baked beans which are just incredible. They have a pound burger without the bread mixed in with the fixins from a Italian beef sandwich that is to die for. I love Ken's. And there's a parve shake that is incredible also.
