I've loved this Canton staple for most of my life. Tasty meats piled high, savory soups and fluffy cornbread make for a great lunch experience. The brisket was especially good on this occasion and Tatiana was a kind and swift server!

I took mom here for lunch and our 1st visit to this Canton institution. I like to support these hometown shops, but we were both disappointed in the food quality, especially with signature soup and sandwiches. Price and atmosphere weren't issues. This was a cozy...Read More

I read a review that said Kennedy's has the best ham sandwich ever. So we decided to try it. It really was good! Though next time, I'd follow another customer's advice and get the relish on the side, so I can enjoy...Read More
