KEN AND BARB'S – American
Ken & Barb's runs two menus out of one kitchen on Oyster Creek Drive: a daily chef-inspired dinner list that shifts with what is good, and a steady pub menu of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. The house-smoked fish dip arrives with capers, red onion, marinated cherry tomatoes and dill. Blackened mahi mahi comes with homemade mango salsa, cilantro slaw and chipotle aioli over lemon and herb rice. Jumbo stuffed shells land under tomato meat sauce with a Caesar and garlic bread. Dogs welcome outside, happy hour daily, vegetarians properly looked after. Englewood keeps it full.
