Kenny's Wood Fired Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill feels like entering a welcoming crossroads where classic American steakhouse traditions meet the vibrant spirit of Dallas dining. Whether you find yourself settling in at the lively bar or moving towards the glow of the main dining room, there’s an inviting warmth that wraps around you—a gentle hum of conversations, the occasional clink of glasses, and the subtle aroma of wood-fired cooking that promises more than just a meal.
The atmosphere balances thoughtfully between two moods: one side offers a refined, almost intimate dining experience where you might savor slow, satisfying bites of expertly grilled steaks or rich, comforting mac n cheese with a smoky twist. On the other, a more spirited bar scene unfolds with friendly service and a carefully crafted drink list, perfect for easing into the evening or pausing during a bustling day. You might find yourself leaning into a conversation with an attentive server or bartender who seems genuinely glad to guide your choices, whether it’s a classic French Onion Soup or a cocktail like a Dirty Martini or a Grey Goose on tap.
There’s a certain attentiveness here that goes beyond the food and drink, shaping a rhythm that never feels rushed. The kitchen’s wood fire is more than a cooking method—it’s a backdrop to shared moments, where everything from wood-grilled oysters to seasonal sides like brussels sprouts or asparagus unfolds with a smoky, nuanced character. This is a place where flavors mingle with laughter and easy conversation, where the details of service reflect genuine care. It’s no surprise that many guests find themselves returning, drawn by both the consistent quality and the comfortable, lively pulse of the restaurant.
For those coming in on a sunny afternoon or winding down a busy day, Kenny’s offers a space that’s both familiar and quietly special—a spot that feels like a neighborhood favorite with a dash of something worth discovering. Here, the experience is made up of small, human moments framed by the warmth of the grill’s glow and the simple joy of good company and thoughtfully prepared food.

We came for dinner while we were visiting Dallas and had the best experience! We started at the bar since there was a wait. Mark, served us great drinks (Paloma & Leisure Time) that started our visit off right. Once our table was ready we met Kelsey, our server. She was really attentive, nice, friendly, and made sure we had what we needed. We then talked to the manager, Rigo to tell him about how great things were. He was also excellent! Our food was top notch and we had such a great night bc of all of the above. Thank you to you and the rest of your staff for providing such a good experience too!

This is the 2nd time I have had dinner at Kenny's and the food is outstanding. I had a 16oz NY Strip and it was topped with truffle butter... Tender and delicious. To start I had Crispy Brie Bites with Raspberry Chipotle sauce, and they too were delicious! Service is attentive and friendly and the ambience is nice too. One side is more fine dining and the other side more sports bar style. Will definitely be back.

I’m in town just for a few nights & so happy that I found this place! The service (at the bar -solo diner) was instantly incredible, like they’ve been waiting for me all day! I really wish that I would’ve caught the name of my bartender to add on here, but she’s the one who I talked about 3 olives in a martini with. She perfectly made my drink & helped me with slight modifications to my meal, likely to get sending my indecisiveness. Regardless, the food was truly wonderful & the service was memorable to absolutely go back!

This place is every bit a 5 STAR as others say. Exceptional food; lamb chops perfect, ribeye delicious. Thomas was our server and he was GREAT- sociable, fast, efficient- and one of the best things ever is watching the kitchen area as ALL the staff get along so well, help each other out, seem to enjoy their jobs while making things wonderful for customers, and things flow smoothly. Thomas quipped - they ARE like family.! Nice atmosphere- but its fairly dark inside and lol- since we ate early (we were on EST) pretty darned bright stepping outside after dinner. No problem however.

This was my first visit. It was super crowded. The food was delicious. I ordered breaded fish sandwich, creamed Spinach and bread pudding for dessert. The only complaint was the lighting, it was too dark inside. My reservation was for noon, and it was a bright sunny day. The setting was more for romance than lunch.

went on christmas eve and it was extremely busy, but we were still seated quickly. our server was nice. i had the ribs and there were so many on the plate and they were plated beautifully. they were delicious. the bbq sauce that comes on the side was a bit tangy, but not bad. i had the potato cakes as my side, and they were fairly good, though i felt they needed just slightly more salt. my sister had the ribeye and it was very good. i was pleasantly surprised to see that they will fill your to-go box for you.

I went to Kenny's, unannounced, and on a Saturday evening. The place was very busy. The door host was very helpful in getting me a space, even though tables were fully booked. As an international traveller and not having a US mobile I was impressed that the host explained she would find me when a table became available. After a short walk around tge establishment, I was intercepted by a manager who guided me to a seat at the bar. The barman was equally helpful and pleasant despite there being a full capacity restaurant. He was also attentive to checking on whether I needed anything and kept topping up my soft drink. The meal, ribs, was plentiful and nicely slow cooked so the meat fell off the bones. I would have liked some beers available on tap as bottled beer is never the same. However, the bar does portray a cocktail style environment. Though there were no prices of these on the menu I was given. Nevertheless,I left feeling I was valued as a customer and that the restaurant had been managed very well to provide a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

This was our first time. This was exceptional. From arrival to departure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Stephanie kept changing our glasses to frosted cold glasses. The bread was so tasty and warm with the butter. The old fashion was good. The SHRIMP was fire. The seasonal lamb chops are fire. I can’t wait to return.
