    My steak was cooked exactly as I asked and it melted in my mouth.

    The server brought out these little planks of wood and stated that the steaks were going to come out on sizzling platters. They brought out our steaks on super hot plates, but the planks were not big enough to keep the plates from wobbling, so everytime you went to cut your steak you were risking injury. The steaks were very tender and cooked properly but seemed very underseasoned. The crab soup was wonderful. I just don't know if the cost was justified for the whole meal.

    A quiet Friday night, which was a little surprising. Service was attentive and knowledgable, while the food was very good, if a little over-priced. Great menu, something for everyone and a good selection of Gulf Coast favorites. The presentation was excellent. The wine list had a wide range of bottles, including a favorite. A nice little neighborhood spot in Ocean Springs.

    The food was sort of bland and definitely not worth the price. If you want steak or seafood, there are far better places for both in OS and biloxi. I don't expect fried seafood at a place like this. Also, their martinis are too sweet and girly. It's a cozy little place, but nothing special about the atmosphere. It was an average experience at best.

    Kenny Ward's is a staple for my family. We love the restaurant for its amazing steak and seafood. I recommend the surf and turf with the filet mignon and a crab cake. Most certainly the best crab cake on the coast!

    My husband and I went for my birthday and it was fantastic! THE best crab cakes I've ever had and there's a reason Kenny Ward's has won 'best steak in town' for years. It will melt in your mouth! We were given the raspberry and blueberry trifle for dessert and it was fabulous! Altogether, a wonderful experience!

    Everything tasted great with the exception of the temperature of our entrees. They just were not hot enough.

    Oh, my goodness!! Terribly overpriced!! My husband & I are foodies who have no problem paying top dollar for fine dining, but this was so disappointing after reading such sterling reviews!! There were 10 people at 7:30 on a Saturday night there when we dined. The kitchen messed up our steak prep instructions even though my husband & I gave IDENTICAL orders! This could be somewhat forgivable if the restaurant had been very busy, but as I stated, there were 10 people. Our salads & "twice baked potatoes" were also sad offerings with little imagination or presentation. Lastly, our wine pour was so sparse that I waited until our steaks arrived so that I wouldn't run out; it was also warm, not slightly chilled as preferred. Never again.

    Great Char-broiled oysters! Crab soup was so-so. The filet was amazing and the special halibut with a white cream sauce was delicious!
