Kennon House & Sports Bar

My wife and I visited the newly reopened Kennon House (now with a Sports Bar) and were very pleased with the food, atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. We started off with the Ahi Tuna appetizer and it was amazing! Then I ordered the Brisket Cheesesteak and my wife got the Cajun Catfish with Sweet Potato Fries and Onion Rings. Delicious!!This is definitely going to be our new favorite hangout and so conveniently located! Enjoy!!

First time at Kennon Sports Bar but it surely won't be our last. As we are relatively new to the area we were happy to check this out on a Monday night. While we were happy they were open, we didn't know there was a more limited menu available, as the main restaurant was closed. I was a little disappointed that Fried Chicken wasn't one the menu, but that disappointment quickly eroded when our awesome Waitress Brooke suggested I try the shrimp platter. My date had the smash burger with cheese - we both really enjoyed our dinners ! The fried shrimp platter had 11 giant shrimp- perfectly cooked and very flavorful, the Cole slaw was delish- as were the tots. The smash burger was also so good.~ he's a burger guy and gave it a thumbs up. The ambiance was a high point- a really beautiful setting with great music and a real pulse - even on a Monday night. We totally enjoyed our evening from the service to the food, we will absolutely be back ~ we are looking forward to trying the main restaurant. The history and atmosphere are both amazing.....

I recently visited Kennon House Restaurant & Sports Bar and asked for a vegetable platter, even though it wasn't on the menu. I was blown away by the response! Chef Erskine put together an incredible assortment of fresh and perfectly prepared veggies and fruits. The platter included crispy fried okra, beautifully grilled zucchini, asparagus and sliced tomatoes, sautéed cabbage that was crispy and seasoned just right. To top it off, there were sweet strawberries and juicy red grapes that added a refreshing touch to the dish. Every item on the plate was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.It's rare to find a restaurant that goes above and beyond to accommodate special requests with such care and creativity. This dish was not only delicious but also a testament to the kitchen's flexibility and commitment to customer satisfaction. If you're looking for a place that truly listens to its customers and delivers outstanding food, look no further than Kennon Hpuse Restaurant & Sports Bar. I can't wait to return and see what else they can whip up!

My wife and I went to the Kennon House Monday night, August 5th. The outside is still the historic building it always was, and I'm glad the new owners didn't make any changes to it. They did, however, totally revamp the inside and have done a fantastic job of it, including a very large sports bar, which we sat at. Our main bartender was Ethan, who mixed our drinks to perfection and was right there when we needed another. We were also served by Brook, who was also very attentive. Both servers were very friendly and top-notch at their job. We were only there for drinks and appetizers, so we can't comment much on the food, but the giant pretzel with cheddar cheese and the loaded tots were delicious. While we were there, the owners came in and sat next to us at the bar, very friendly and went so far as to buy us both a drink, which was not expected, but a nice touch. Overall, I think this is a great addition to Lake Gaston and will definitely be going back.

On a Sunday evening, I had the Philly cheesesteak with tater tots and a draft at the bar. Sandwich was excellent and the draft Blue Moon pint was less than $5. Watched some of a NFL game for entertainment, but by far the barkeep, Brooklyn, was more entertaining. My wife had the Philly cheese with chicken with a side of fries, which wasnt as tasty as the flavorful steak.We will be back for more sports nights!

Service was good,but when it comes to the food was very very disappointed . The salad dressing was bottled not homemade. The pork ribs that were suppose to fall of the bones were not pork ribs and had no seasoning on them. They were very though and not good at all. The meat did not fall off the bone. Ordered onion rings and got more tots then onion rings. The upscale experience is I thought I was getting was very subpar. Very disappointed with. My visit to the kennon house

We go once a week and love this place and are thankful the new owners invested in renovations to keep it going. Love the sports bar area. The food is solid and the atmosphere is fun. It's a super small town (we moved her from Raleigh and have lived in major big cities across the US) so you need to temper your expectations. But. It is a solid place for a night out in our sweet slice of life area of the world.

Made it over to check out the new upgraded Kennon House & Sports Bar for dinner tonight with the kiddos! Chef ‍ Beth and her kitchen crew did not disappoint! It's still all the cozy vibes from the original Restaurant with a classy modernized stylish atmosphere! Great environment for families or just a date night! For dinner we had "The Yank Burger" .. I added coleslaw to it and oooo my goodness 10/10 recommend The grilled chicken salad was FRESH, COLD, and CRISP!!!!! With real bacon crumbles ! Then there was the "Pig-fla-rib" (ribs and bbq) .. perfect seasoning and paired with that house made coleslaw... there are simply no words but yuummm y'all should definitely head over to check them out ! You won't be disappointed! This was a great soft opening, and we can't wait to see what else they have to offer!!!!! I know we will be returning asap lol to try all the things on the menu
