Pufferbelly Restaurant

If I could give this restaurant a zero, I would.  My husband and daughter tried to go there for lunch on a Saturday (Daddy and daughter quality time) and were told that they "would probably be very busy all day' and basically that they couldn't wait for a table to open up, even though there were open tables available.  I don't know if you have to have a reservation, even for lunch, or if they just don't like kids eating there, or what the problem is - but if that's the case, why have a kid's menu?  It's not like my husband or daughter were dressed like slobs either.  I've eaten there before with my parents, and it's not like the food or service is good enough to be turning away customers.  Needless to say, we will never try to eat there again and we will be sharing our experience with everyone we know.

The absolute worst restaurant I have ever been to. The food is disgusting. You don't even need teeth. This is a great place for senior citizens. It's next to the train tracks, so don't expect to be able to talk to your friends while eating. The place smells and has hideous decor. I appreciate historic places, but this is one that just should not stay open.

I've been to Pufferbelly quite a few times and haven't had terribly slow service or horrible food like some of the other reviewers. I've ordered the Melonie's Turkey Wrap for lunch on several occasions, and it's been delicious every time. The one thing I wasn't crazy about at this restaurant was the brunch buffet. I took my grandparents here twice, and they were definitely not impressed with the cold eggs and lackluster pastries available for brunch. I wasn't as horrified by the food, but it honestly wasn't the greatest. I'd suggest coming here for a late lunch. As many have mentioned, it is a restaurant that attracts an older crowd, so don't expect to come here for a swanky night on the town or a gourmet meal. It's a nice, quiet and quaint place to grab a bite to eat with its own historic atmosphere. It's a good place to go if you want to try something in Kent that has a different vibe from the other college student-friendly dining options in the area.
