Kens Kafe 978 North State Highway 39, Arcola, MO 65603

"Food was undercooked, waitress was absolutely terrible. Ordered appetizers and it was just dropped off with no silverware or dip had to go to counter for that. When I did our waitress was very rude and commented I didn’t need silverware or dip cause I had no food. No refills for drinks no butter for roll had to ask for ketchup. Salad came with meal not before. Asked for mayo and got ranch I’m sure the waitress did that on purpose with her bad attitude. I don’t like it when a waitress has long hair and it is not contained at all. No offer of to go boxes or dessert. There was a few people but not that busy she couldn’t do her job without attitude"

"We had a great experience at Kens Kafe. The food was really good and the service was very friendly. It was a little busy when we were there, but everything came out quickly. We had the appetizer sampler and chose the fried pickles, onion rings,and Broccoli cheddar bites. For the main course, we had the all you can eat catfish, chicken fried steak, and Philly cheese steak sandwich. All was cooked really well, especially the catfish, we all tried it and were really impressed! We had the Dutch apple pie for dessert which you could tell was homemade. We will definitely be back next time we drive out to Lake Stockton."

"First time in the area drove by seen a bunch a cars around the place and decided to stop in. Glad we did the catfish was fantastic and service was exceptional. Heading home Sunday morning made a pit stop for breakfast and wasn't disappointed great food and great employees."

"Great owner! I’m a huge breakfast person, so if there’s a place that appeases my taste 24/7 or their respectful hours… Ken’s is the place for me and anyone like me! The other food is amazing also, they have one of the best catfish alive… or cooked…. (In the picture is the Scramble Platter 10/10 the burrito is rated the same also!!!)"

"Excellent food and priced accordingly! HUGE PLATES OF FOOD!! The pancake was wider than our 6 yr olds body. He barely made a dent...LOL. Definitely worth the drive from Carl Junction/Joplin area. Highly recommended especially if heading to Stockton Lake as its right next door!!"
